ISKCON Dwarka's Grand Janmashtami Celebration:
A Beacon of Devotion and Service
As the sacred festival of Janmashtami approaches, ISKCON Dwarka is preparing for a celebration like no other. Known for its dedication to both spiritual upliftment and community service, the temple has been a pillar of support during challenging times. During the COVID-19 pandemic, ISKCON Dwarka not only distributed five lakh meals every day to those in need but also opened a 200-bed hospital, treating 1,800 patients, further solidifying its role as a sanctuary of hope and compassion.
This Janmashtami, ISKCON Dwarka is inviting devotees to participate in the festivities and contribute to the temple’s ongoing mission of service. Devotees who donate will be given the opportunity to perform Aarti and Abhishek, two of the most cherished rituals in the worship of Lord Krishna. Additionally, donors will enjoy fast-track access to the temple, ensuring a seamless and spiritually enriching experience on this auspicious day.

The donations collected during Janmashtami will enable ISKCON Dwarka to continue its tradition of generosity, with plans to distribute prasadam to more than five lakh people. “We encourage everyone to come and receive the blessings of Krishna on Janmashtami,” said Shri Gaur Prabhuji (VP, ISKCON Dwarka). “These blessings come not just through darshan but also through prasadam, which nourishes the body and soul alike.”
He also emphasized the importance of reading and understanding Krishna’s teachings for a happy and fulfilled life. To this end, volunteers from all walks of life—including scientists, engineers, doctors, students, and businesspeople—will be distributing books that convey Krishna’s message. “These books are a form of Krishna’s mercy,” Shri Gaur Prabhuji said. “They have the power to transform lives, just as they have transformed ours.”
