In honor of the 50th anniversary of A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada\u2019s ISKCON movement, the Temple of the Holy Name in Prabhupada Village in Sandy Ridge, NC invites you to the installation of Sri Sri Gaura-Nitai, which will take place on the most auspicious day of the year \u2013 Akshaya Tritiya – on Sunday, May 8, 2016. The festivities begin with a 6-hour kirtan on Saturday, May 7. Please see the schedule below.<\/p>\n

So who is Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu? \u201cSri-krsna-caitanya radha-krsna nahe anya\u201d: Radha and Krishna have combined together as Sri Krishna Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. It was Sri Chaitanya who specifically appeared with Nitai (Lord Nityananda) 500 years ago in W. Bengal, India to inaugurate the chanting of the holy names of God: Hare Krishna Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna Hare Hare, Hare Rama Hare Rama, Rama Rama Hare Hare and to teach everyone how to practice bhakti-yoga, devotional service to Krishna. <\/p>\n

This is a very special and rare occurrence! Please join us!<\/p>\n

\u201cOne who offers the Deity gifts of land, markets, cities and villages so that the regular daily worship and special festivals of the Deity may go on continually will achieve opulence equal to My own.\u201d Srimad Bhagavatam 11.27.51
\n\u201cBy installing the Deity of the Lord one becomes king of the entire earth, by building a temple for the Lord one becomes ruler of the three worlds, by worshiping and serving the Deity one goes to the planet of Lord Brahma, and by performing all three of these activities one achieves a transcendental form like My own.\u201d Srimad Bhagavatam 11.27.52
