Dear Friends

We are offering two options for active participation in the upcoming Nrsimha Festival. You may take advantage of either or both:
Sri Nrsimha Yagna @3:00pm
The sastra states no yagna is complete without daan (giving). We therefore invite you to offer a minimum donation of R108 per person. Booking is essential and limited. Please book here.

You are invited to sponsor Lord Nrsimhadeva’s Maha Abhishek.
The cost is R508. Please book here.

Samskara Course
Learn the spirit, mood and culture behind the essential samskaras recommended by the sages and sastras. Samskaras refine our entire being so that our contributions to ourselves and others are impactful. A person who goes through this system grows to be physically strong, emotionally stable, mentally benevolent, intellectually truthful and spiritually filled with servitude. This course is based on the Sat-kriyā-sāra-dīpikā by Śrīla Gopāla Bhaṭṭa Gosvāmī and covers the 16 major samskaras, from conception to final rites. The ISKCON Deity Worship Ministry accredits the course, and this course forms part of the Mayapur Academy Diploma.
Part 1: Theory (Online)
Dates: 13; 14; 16; 20; 21; 28 & 29 June
Cost: R200
PLUS: You will also require the book: Sat-kriyā-sāra-dīpikā by Śrīla Gopāla Bhaṭṭa Gosvāmī. Cost: R350.
Part 2: Practical (In-person)
Dates: 3-12 July
Full days on the weekends and three hours on weekday evenings.
Cost: R300
