Sri Nityananda Trayodasi & Vyasa Puja of Srila Sacinandana Swami 2026

From January 28, 2026 to February 1st

Hare Krishna dear devotees and friends, 
We warmly invite you to Goloka Dhama to celebrate one of the most significant festivals for all disciples and well-wishers of H.H. Srila Sacinandana Swami: the Sri Nityananda Trayodasi and Vyasa Puja Festival 2026, taking place from January 28th to February 1st, 2026. 
  
This is a wonderful opportunity to deepen our training under the guidance of H.H. Srila Sacinandana Swami and to receive abundant blessings during these most auspicious days. 
  
In Srimad-Bhagavatam (3.7.18–19), Vidura speaks to Maitreya: 
“But, my dear sir, I am obliged to you because now I can understand that this material manifestation is without substance, although it appears real. I am confident that by serving your feet it will be possible for me to give up the false idea. By serving the feet of the spiritual master, one is enabled to develop transcendental ecstasy in the service of the Personality of Godhead, and whose service vanquishes one’s material distresses.” 

•    Wednesday, January 28: Opening of the festival 
•    Thursday, January 29: Srimad-Bhagavatam lecture by H.H. Srila Sacinandana Swami, Guru Smaranam, and disciple meeting 
•    Friday, January 30: Sri Nityananda Trayodasi & initiation ceremony 
•    Saturday, January 31: Vyasa Puja celebration of H.H. Srila Sacinandana Swami 
•    Sunday, February 1: Possible concluding morning lecture and departures (optional: Sunday Feast and evening kirtan) 

Important:  
If you wish to join the festival, we kindly ask you to register. This will help us to estimate as accurately as possible the number of guests we should prepare for. Registrations are NOW OPEN. Please use the following link to sign up.
The online form will remain active until January 26th, 2026.
  
Please note that places in the Ashrams are limited, so staying in the Ashrams is based on a first come, first served system. Daily visitors who stay outside are always welcome.

Notice: 
Immediately after your registration, you will see an automatic confirmation. We do not send separate confirmations by email (if you do not see the email in a few minutes, check your “spam” folder). Please fill in every answer on the form and then CLICK the SUBMIT BUTTON for it to be processed (on the Summary page). Full payment (accommodation & festival fee) is required to confirm the booking of your accommodation on-site. If you book not on-site, we like to encourage you to pay the festival fee as soon as you have done your registration. 
Especially for those of you who have booked accommodation on-site: if you are unable to attend the festival after registering, please make every effort to cancel your registration as soon as you know it (write to [email protected]), because we can then give your place to another devotee. 
  
We kindly ask you to pick up your wristband at the registration desk after your arrival and to pay on site (if not yet done earlier): cash & PayPal possible.

To help us plan, please indicate on the online registration form (or write to [email protected]) if you will be attending with children or teens. Note: Children under the age of 8 must remain under your care at all times. This typically means
you may need to miss certain parts of the event (e.g. lectures, meditations). We kindly ask all participants to support the atmosphere of silence and focus in the temple hall. For this reason, if you are with small children, you may be asked to step outside during certain sessions.
