Krishna wants to see you and receive your love.
But He also delights in gifts. So bring many!
Krishna loves kirtan, bhajans, heartfelt prayers, flowers, milk, ghee, silver, gold, jewels, necklaces, bracelets, incense, rice, fresh fruit, dried fruit, lentils, uncooked vegetables, honey, currency—whether cash, Swish, or Bitcoin—and brand-new cloth for His outfits.
Please note that the evenings in mid August may bring a slight chill. We recommend that you bring jackets and warm clothing, especially for the little ones. Some of the celebration will take place outdoors in Srimati Gandharvika's enchanting garden.
You will also have the wonderful opportunity to acquire books by His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada at special festival prices. These books will be available in Swedish, English, Hindi, Tamil, Punjabi, Gujarati, Kannada, Urdu, Bengali, Sinhala, German, Danish, Finnish, Polish, Russian, Ukrainian, Icelandic, Hungarian, and many other languages.
For those who choose not to fast, we will be serving simple yet delightful prasadam from 10 pm onwards.
