Gaura Purnima 2023

Monday, March 6th

6:15pm – 9:15pm

Monday, March 6th marks the 537th anniversary of the appearance of Sri Chaitanya, the golden avatar who pioneered devotional yoga (bhakti) in sixteenth-century India and began the practice of sacred chanting (kirtan) that has now spread around the world. Boise Hare Krishna Temple will celebrate the occasion on Monday, March 6th, the actual date of the event, with sankirtan and talks about understanding Sri Chaitanya’s life, mood and mission.

A few special features of the evening are: a beautiful temple ceremony, bhajan/kirtan/prayers, presentation by Sunday school kids, and the Abhishek, where the divine forms of Sri Chaitanya and Nityananda will be bathed with the water of various preparations. It is an enchanting ceremony to watch and participate in as beautiful kirtan is sung by everyone. The evening concludes with a delicious feast.

Please join us for this very special celebration!
