Onam & Krishna Jayanthi with Swamini
Sep 13, 2025 12:00pm-8:00pm
Amma has said that "Many great souls have taken birth on this earth, but Sri Krishna was a master and guide for all times, places and people.” Join us for our annual Krishna Jayanthi satsang, which will include a Krishna puja, bhajans, and Uri Adi (the breaking of the pot celebration - fun for kids old and young) with Swamini Ambikamrita Prana. This year's Krishna Jayanthi celebration will include Onam festivities (Onam is the colorful harvest festival of Kerala). We hope to see you here!
The schedule for our Krishna Jayanthi and Onam program is as follows (tentative/subject to change):
Noon to 2:00pm: Onam games and Sadhya (a traditional Onam feast)
4:00 - 5:00pm Procession and Uri Adi
5:00 - 6:00pm - Archana
6:00-6:20pm - Krishna Puja
6:20-7:25pm - Krishna Ashtotharam and bhajans
