The day after celebrations for one of our biggest festivals of the year, Krsna Janmastami, we will be celebrating one of the most important festivals for us as Hare Krishnas – Srila Prabhupada’s Vyasa Puja on Wednesday, August 12, 2020.
The Vyasa Puja festival is always held the day after Janmastami and the festival honours the appearance of our spiritual master His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada – Founder Acharya of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness.
This year the program will be virtual and split into two sessions. The first session will begin at 11:00am with an abhisheka of Srila Prabhupada (bathing ceremony of a small Deity of Srila Prabhupada) and will continue with the arati, flower offerings and (pushpanjali). In the evening we will have the second part of the program at 6pm. Selected devotees and groups will be getting together virtually and reading pre-written offerings to Srila prabhupada. While everyone is invited to participate in the evening virtual program we will likely not be able to accomadate everyone reading offerings. We will be once again encouraging everyone to write their own offering for the Toronto Virtual Vyasa Puja Book, click HERE for details!
