Sharad Poonam – Tuesday 23rd October

Come join us on Tuesday 23rd October for Sharad Poonam raas from 8pm onwards.

This evening, the moon is at its brightest and fullest, and signifies many important events. One event that occurred on this night was when Krishna Bhagwan performed his divine Maharaas leela with Radhaji and the Gopis. The Gopis submerged in their love for Krshna Bhagwan experienced ultimate bliss as he took many forms to play with each and every one of them. It shows the union of the aatma (the soul) and paraatma (Bhagwan).
