Gaura Purnima
;newWindow.focus())
Gaura Purnima commemorates the appearance day of Lord Chaitanya who is seen as the most glorious of all incarnations of the Supreme Lord.
This occasion is not only of utmost sweetness for us because Mahaprabhu is the most merciful and magnanimous but also because our temple is named after Him - Melbourne Mahaprabhu Mandir!
The program for the day starts at 4.30pm with arati and kirtana followed by the yajna (fire sacrifice) at 5pm and class at 5.45pm.Please note that arati trays will be offered from 5pm.
We will then hold the abhisekha (bathing ceremony) and arati at 7pm and offering of gifts at 7.45pm. The long awaited moonrise will be at 8.03pm will also mark the equally long awaited feast.
Don't miss out on the nectar!
Since this nectar-filled festival falls on Good Friday this year, we are planning a gigantic celebration of Lord Caitanya's Appearance.
