Sunday, April 10th, 2022 marks the appearance day of Sri Rama (also called Rama Navami) and will be celebrated in a grand fashion at ISKCON Toronto: The Hare Krishna Temple!
Sri Rama is an incarnation of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Sri Krishna. Sri Rama is the perfect monarch; He vanquished the maleficent king Ravana and established an age of peace and prosperity in His kingdom. He ruled His kingdom according to the injunctions of the Vedas (holy scriptures) and always put His subjects first. His Lilas (pastimes) are narrated in the scripture Ramayana and serve as examples of righteousness and following dharma (prescribed duty). The Ramayana depicts Lord Rama’s dedication to His wife Sita, His unbreakable bond with His brother Lakshmana, the stalwart devotee-companion Hanuman, and the remarkable ways in which they overcame the greatest of struggles.
Please note the Temple will be open from 4:15am to 7:30pm and we welcome you to our in-person celebrations that will commence at 5:00pm, see the schedule below:
