SUMMARY:Appearance of Lord Nrisimhadeva - Nrisimha Jayanti 2026
DESCRIPTION:Hare Krishna\, \nPlease accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. All glories to Sri Sri Radha Govindaji. \nWe will be celebrating Appearance of Lord Nrisimhadeva – Nrisimha Jayanti – on Thursday\, April 30\, 2026. The program will start at 6:00 pm with Chanting Prayers (Gaura Arati) and a short talk on glory of  Nrisimha Jayanti and Nrisimha Kavacha. Then we will perform havan (Fire Sacrifice). During the havan (Fire Sacrifice)\, we will be chanting Sri Nrisimha Kavacha Stotram and let all the devotees perform havan by offering ahuti. After the havan ceremony\, we will distribute powerful Nrisimha kavachas (amulets) to our donors followed by prasadam (Free Vegetarian Feast). Fasting is recommended until dusk (around 9 pm on April 30\, 2026) for those who are fasting. \nGlory of Sri Nrisimha Kavacha: As prayed by and spoken by Prahlad maharaj\, the Nrisimha-kavacha is the most pious\, vanquishes all kinds of impediments\, and provides one with all protection. It bestows upon one all opulences and can give one elevation to the heavenly planets or liberation. One should meditate on Lord Nrisimhadeva\, Lord of the Demigods\, seated upon a golden throne. \nHis mouth is wide open\, He has three eyes\, and He is as radiant as the autumn moon. He is embraced by Lakshmidevi on his left side\, and His form is the shelter of all opulences\, both material and spiritual. \nThe Lord has four arms\, and His limbs are very soft. He is decorated with golden earrings. His chest is resplendent like the lotus flower\, and His arms are decorated with jewel-studded ornaments. \nHe is dressed in a spotless yellow garment\, which exactly resembles molten gold. He is the original cause of existence\, beyond the mundane sphere\, for the great demigods headed by Indra. He appears bedecked with rubies which are blazingly effulgent. \nHis two feet are very attractive\, and He is armed with various weapons such as the conch\, disc\, etc. Garuda joyfully offers prayers with great reverence. \nIt is our humble request to all of you to attend the celebration of Nrisimha Jayanti. \nHare Krishna\, \nYour humble servant\,

SUMMARY:Narasimha Jayanti Muhurat 2025
DESCRIPTION:Narasimha Jayanti on Saturday\, May 10\, 2025\nNarasimha Jayanti Sayana Kala Puja Time – 06:13 PM to 09:21 PM\nDuration – 03 Hours 08 Mins \nVaishakha Shukla Chaturdashi is celebrated as Narasimha Jayanti. Lord Narasimha was the 4th incarnation of Lord Vishnu. On Narasimha Jayanti day Lord Vishnu appeared in the form of Narasimha\, a half lion and half man\, to kill Demon Hiranyakashipu. \nThe combination of Vaishakha Shukla Chaturdashi with Swati Nakshatra and weekday Saturday is considered highly auspicious to observe Narasimha Jayanti Vratam. \nThe rules and guidelines for observing Narasimha Jayanti fasting are similar to those of Ekadashi fasting. Devotees eat only a single meal one day before Narasimha Jayanti. All types of grains and cereals are prohibited during Narasimha Jayanti fasting. Parana\, which means breaking the fast\, is done the next day at an appropriate time. \nOn Narasimha Jayanti day devotees take Sankalp during Madhyahna (Hindu afternoon period) and perform Lord Narasimha Pujan during Sanyakal before sunset. It is believed that Lord Narasimha appeared during sunset while Chaturdashi was prevailing. It is advised to keep a night vigil and perform Visarjan Puja the next day morning. The fast should be broken on the next day after performing Visarjan Puja and giving Dana to Brahmin. \nNarasimha Jayanti fast is broken the next day after sunrise when Chaturdashi Tithi is over. If Chaturdashi Tithi gets over before sunrise then the fast is broken any time after sunrise after finishing the Jayanti rituals. If Chaturdashi gets over very late i.e. if Chaturdashi prevails beyond three-fourth of Dinamana then fast can be broken in the first half of Dinamana. Dinamana is the time window between sunrise and sunset. \nDrikPanchang.com lists Madhyahna time to take Sankalp\, Sanyakal duration to perform Puja\, and Parana time on the next day to break the fast. All these timings are location-based hence it is mandatory to change location before noting down Puja and Parana timings. \nTo read a detailed description of Narasimha Avatara of Lord Vishnu\, please visit – Narasimha Incarnation.

SUMMARY:Rama Navami 2025
DESCRIPTION:Rama Navami on Saturday\, April 5\, 2025\nRama Navami Madhyahna Muhurat – 12:17 PM to 02:57 PM\n2025 Rama Navami.\nLord Rama was born on Navami Tithi during Shukla Paksha of Chaitra month. Each year this day is celebrated as birthday of Lord Rama. Lord Rama was born during Madhyahna period which is middle of Hindu day. Madhyahna which prevails for six Ghatis (approximately 2 hours and 24 minutes) is the most auspicious time to perform Rama Navami Puja rituals. The mid-point of Madhyahna marks the moment when Shri Rama was born and temples symbolize this moment as birth moment of Lord Rama. The chanting of Shri Rama and celebration reaches its peak during this time. \nDue to widespread use of western clock and Gregorian calendar people assume 12 p.m. as Madhyahna moment. This could have been correct if sunrise and sunset occur exactly at 6 a.m. and 6 p.m. respectively but at most places sunrise and sunset timings are different from six O’clock. Hence the exact time to celebrate birthday of Lord Rama falls between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. for most Indian cities. DrikPanchang.com list Hindu midday moment for all cities and this moment should be used to mark the birth of Shri Rama. \nAyodhya is birthplace of Lord Rama and Rama Navami celebrations in Ayodhya are remarkable. Devotees come to Ayodhya from far-flung places. After taking holy dip into river Sarayu Devotees visit Rama temple to participate in birthday celebrations. \nEight Prahar fasting is suggested during Rama Navami. Which means devotes should observe the fast from sunrise to sunrise. Rama Navami Vrat can be observed in three different ways\, casual (नैमित्तिक) -which can be observed without any cause\, continual (नित्य) – which can be observed throughout life without any desire and desirable (काम्य) – which can be observed to fulfill any desire. \nTo read detailed description about Rama Avatara of Lord Vishnu\, please visit – Rama Incarnation.
