Sri Krishna Janamasthami and 50th anniversary of the Installation of Sri Sri Radha Madana Mohana

From Thursday, August 14- until Sunday, August 17, 2025

Dear devotees and friends,

We have the great pleasure to invite you for a very special celebration. This year, we will celebrate the 50th anniversary of the installation of the German Yatra deities, Sri Sri Radha Madana Mohana.

For this very special occasion, we are inviting many senior devotees who have a long and deep relationship with these deities, to come and share their hearts, their realizations, and their memories.

Srila Sacinandana Swami and HG Vaidyanath Prabhu have already confirmed their participation. Many other advanced devotees and disciples of Srila Prabhupada are cordially invited, and we are waiting for their confirmation.

It is often mentioned that the loving exchanges between the Lord and his devotees are extremely potent in attracting the living entities to pure devotional service, and we hope that this festival, will fulfil this ambition.

The festival will have philosophical parts with morning lectures based on Sambhanda Tattva (which connect us with Radha Madana Mohan who are the sambhanda adi-deva deities), Kirtans, Kathas about the eternal pastimes of Sri Sri Radha Madana Mohana and testimonial of devotees regarding the history of our deities. We also plan to appreciate all devotees who have dedicated parts of their lives in their service and to observe the evolution of the deity worship throughout the years. Everyone is most welcome to bring their heart for the great celebration of this memorable festival.
