Hare Krishna Dear Devotees & Well-wishers,
Please accept our humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

With hearts full of gratitude, we would like to sincerely thank each and every one of you who came forward to support and be part of the sacred celebrations of Sri Narasimhadeva.

This entire festival, from Narasimha Navaratri to the Sri Lakshmi Narasimhadeva procession, and culminating in the grand Narasimha Mahotsava appearance day, carried a depth that is difficult to capture in words. There was a tangible sense of auspiciousness and mercy present throughout, something that could be felt in every moment.

Devotees of all ages came together, young children, newborns in their mothers’ arms, adults, elders, each one present not only physically, but with full heart and consciousness, gathered to receive the Lord’s mercy. Taking darshan felt like being carried in a flowing wave of devotion, as the crowd moved steadily, drawn in one direction, with a shared longing to catch even a single glimpse of the Lord on His appearance day.

From the yajnas to the sankalpa offerings, from the heartfelt prayers to the continuous kirtan, every moment held a blissfful intensity. During these sacred ceremonies, all of your names were included in the offerings, and prayers were made on your behalf, seeking the protection, mercy, and blessings of Sri Narasimhadeva for you and your loved ones.

The Abhishek ceremony unfolded with great devotion. From the offering of various sacred items, to the chanting of mantras, to the flower abhishek, each step was performed with attention and sincerity. The kirtan resonated deeply, creating an atmosphere that drew the heart inward.

As the evening progressed, bhoga was offered to the Lord, and shortly after, He gave darshan adorned in golden armor. It was a moment that left a lasting impression, deeply moving and spiritually grounding for all ther hearts that has been waiting to get the Lord last darshan for the day!

Behind all of this was the steady, dedicated service of many hands and hearts. From the tireless efforts of HG Krishna Caitanya Prabhu and the pujari departments, to the wider devotee community who set aside their personal schedules to serve, each contribution played its part. The altar was transformed with artistry, ornaments and jewelry were prepared with attention and devotion, and every offering, from the kitchen to the temple hall, reflected a shared intention to serve the Lord with sincerity.

It came together as something deeply heartfelt, an offering shaped by devotion, care, and collective service.

None of this would have been possible without your support. Your contributions and willingness to serve made you a part of this sacred offering, and for that, we are deeply grateful.

We would also like to warmly invite you to be part of next year’s Sri Narasimhadev Caturdashi celebrations.

Additionally, an upcoming very special time is approaching, Purushottama Month, which occurs once every three years. This highly auspicious month will be observed from May 17 to June 15. It is a rare opportunity to deepen one’s spiritual practice and receive special blessings, and we invite you to participate in this sacred period as well.

Also, today there will be festival celebrations at Rajapur Jagannath. We warmly encourage you to take this opportunity to have darshan.

Once again, thank you for your heartfelt support and seva.

May Sri Narasimhadeva always protect and guide you.

With gratitude and prayers,
