During this spiritual journey, everyone visited several sacred places including Vrinda Kunda, Madan Mohana Temple, Raskhan ki Samadhi, Bramhanda Ghat, and Barsana. At each of these locations, they had the opportunity to offer their respects and have darshan of the deities. They also had the privilege of hearing enlightening katha and participating in uplifting kirtans in the association of the temple President, Hg Rambhadra Das. The yatra was a truly memorable experience for everyone as it gave them an opportunity to immerse in the holy atmosphere of Vrindavan.

Temple Festivals
Snan Yatra Festival:
A very special and sacred festival of Lord Jagannath is held on the full-moon day in the month of Jyestha. This festival is known as ‘Devasnan Purnima’ or ‘Snana Yatra’ (the Bathing Festival). This festival attracts thousands of pilgrims from all over the world. According to the Skanda Purana when King Indradyumna installed the wooden deities he arranged this bathing ceremony. Hence, this festival is celebrated to commemorate the Appearance of Lord Jagannath – the Lord of the Universe.

Boat Festival :
The Boat Festival is one of the most wonderful and colorful festivals. This Leela is mentioned in a transcendental scripture named “Gopal Champu”, written by Srila Jiva Goswami. When the pond is ready the devotees cover the waters with colorful flower petals. The boat has different forms such as peacock or swan. Sri Radha-Damodar takes their seat in the beautiful boat and the procession starts. The sounds of melodious kirtan by devotees fill up the air. The festival ends by distributing delicious Maha Prasad to all the devotees!

Wisdom Sessions
House Program:
To facilitate those devotees who are inclined towards Krishna Consciousness but cannot come to the temple every day, ISKCON Gurugram organizes Home Programs at various places. Host can bring their family members/neighbours/colleagues together in his/her home and invite temple devotees for a 3-4 hours spiritual get-together program. The purpose of this program is to give one an opportunity to relish the bliss of devotional service and to increase one’s commitment to devotional service.
Interested devotees host temple devotees in their home. The program begins with Kirtan in which devotees chant the holy name of lord Krishna with musical instruments. It’s then followed by Aarti in which devotees worship Lord Krishna with suitable offerings. After that the program is followed by spiritual discussion on Bhagavad-gita or other Vedic scriptures, Question/Answer session, and concludes with prasad (sanctified food offered to Lord).
Temple Sessions:
Temple sessions are different types of sessions that run inside the temple. DYPH program offers so many further courses post six-session DYPH course. Below are pics from DYPH and Bhakti Vriksha course sessions.
