Event Details
Śrī Gaura-pūrṇima could easily be called our temple’s most beloved festival. Gaura, also known as Caitanya Mahaprabhu, appears in Navadvipa on the full moon day, to bring “the storehouse of love of God” to every living being. He comes to propagate the chanting of the holy names of the Lord. Kṛṣṇadasa Kaviraja, one of His biographers, describes that anyone who met Caitanya Mahaprabhu and heard His chanting of HareKṛṣṇa became a pure devotee of Lord Krishna and in turn he would cause so many others to become immersed in pure love of Godhead.
For 528 years Lord Caitanya’s festival has been observed in West Bengal, India since His appearance there.Now Gaura Purnima is celebrated in every country on earth due to the inspiration of the founder of ISKCON, Srila Prabhupada, a most staunch follower of Caitanya. This festival in New Dvārakā includes a fast until moonrise and discussion from the many historical accounts of the life of Lord Gaura. In the evening there is Gaura arati and enthusiastic kirtan followed by no less than a ten-course feast (usually to include “Gauranga Potatoes”).
