ISKCON Centre for Culture and Education, Wellington, celebrated a grand outreach Janmashtami festival on the 8th of August 2020. Utilising the opportunity afforded by the Covid19 free status in the country, more than 500 enthusiastic devotees gathered to witness the divine celebrations of the appearance of Lord Krishna. The attendees were treated to a wonderful abhishekam of the Lord, soul-stirring kirtans, enthralling cultural dance performances and skits. There were numerous stalls for face painting, Tilak, Srila Prabhupada’s books, devotional items, Mahaprasadam etc. The children let their creativity flow with a collage competition while HG Ambarish Maharaj Das gave a thought-provoking talk on ‘Moving from Corona-consciousness to Krishna Consciousness ‘.
Festivities concluded with a soul-satisfying feast that delighted the devotees.
With New Zealand moving up COVID-19 alert levels, the devotees at ISKCON Centre for Culture and Education, Wellington are ever more grateful for the opportunity to have celebrated the auspicious appearance of Lord Krishna with their community on such a grand scale.
