Govardhana puja
In 2025, we are celebrating Govardhana puja on 24th October (Friday) in Krisna Valley!
We have already informed you earlier that this year all the national festivals will be free. However, we would like to ask you to contribute to the successful organization of the festival by offering your services and donations.
Registration and fees
You can donate in person, or online at https://krisnavolgy.hu/donate/
In order to be able to offer you prasadam of adequate quality and quantity, please, register on the website navavrajadhama.hu/en – Events/ Registration, if you come to any of our festivals. Registration works with smart phones too.
Parking
From now on, you will be able to park your cars on the field under Varsana (between the cannery and the green warehouse) instead of the Gauranga square (in front of the temple). Please leave your cars on that field, and walk from there.
Live stream
Good news for those, who can't attend the entire programs:we broadcast the events of our festivals live.
You can relive the moments of previous festivals on Nava Vraja-dhama YouTube channel and Facebook page:
We are looking forward to seeing and serving you all!
Your servant,

"The cowherd men inquired from Kṛṣṇa how He wanted the yajña performed, and Kṛṣṇa gave them the following directions. 'Prepare very nice foods of all descriptions from the grain and ghee collected for the yajña. Prepare rice, dāl, then halavā, pakorā, purī and all kinds of milk preparations, such as sweet rice, rabrī, sweetballs, sandeśa, rasagullā and laḍḍu, and invite the learned brāhmaṇas who can chant the Vedic hymns and offer oblations to the fire. The brāhmaṇas should be given all kinds of grain in charity. Then decorate all the cows and feed them well. After performing this, give money in charity to the brāhmaṇas. As far as the lower animals are concerned, such as the dogs, and the lower grades of people, such as the caṇḍālas, or the fifth class of men, who are considered untouchable, they also may be given sumptuous prasādam. After nice grasses have been given to the cows, the sacrifice known as Govardhana-pūjā may immediately begin. This sacrifice will very much satisfy Me.'"
“One who neglects the worship of Govardhana-pūjā, as I am personally conducting it, will not be happy. There are many snakes on Govardhana Hill, and persons neglecting the prescribed duty of Govardhana-pūjā will be bitten by these snakes and killed. In order to assure the good fortune of the cows and themselves, all people of Vṛndāvana near Govardhana must worship the hill, as prescribed by Me.” (Srila Prabhupada's Krishna book - Worshiping Govardhana hill)
