Gaura Purnima Celebrations at Bhaktivedanta Academy

Please join us for Bhaktivedanta Academy's festivities in honor of the appearance of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu.

On Wednesday, March 12th @ 1:00 pm, Krishna Sharanam will perform an abhisheka ceremony for Panca Tattva which will be live-streamed in the Friends of Bhaktivedanta Academy group on Facebook. 

On Thursday, March 13th  from 2 - 3:30 pm all Bhaktivedanta Academy families are invited to join us in walking through our Krishna Sharanam classroom.  The classroom has been transformed into a spiritual oasis in honor of the appearance of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu.  The students and teachers have worked for months on this project, and have completed an amazing offering for Pancha Tattva which you are all encouraged to come and appreciate.  

We hope you can join in the festivities!
