Sri Krishna Janmashtami Festival Appeal 2024

Hare Krishna. Please accept our respectful greetings, along with the blessings of Lord Sri Krishna.

On behalf of ISKCON Gangasagar, we are delighted to invite you to celebrate these joyous events. On 26th August 2024, we will celebrate Janmashtami with great opulence and vibrant festivities. The celebrations will continue on 27th August 2024, marking the appearance anniversary of our Founder-Acharya, His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, as well as Nandotsava.

There are endless seva opportunities available, and we humbly encourage you to participate in this Sri Krishna Janmashtami festival by sponsoring Maha-Abhishek items, festival prasadam, or by providing free meals to underprivileged people in local villages in your name.

"The goddess of fortune, Lakshmi ji, resides in those who are charitable." - Vishnu Smriti.

Special puja and tarpan (prayers) will be conducted for your family (by name and gotra) for those donating Rs. 1,200/- or more before 5:00 PM on 26th August 2024.

Our goal is to raise Rs. 10,00,000/-. Each meal costs Rs. 30/-, consisting of rice, dal, sabzi, pickle, and sweet. Please come and offer your love and prayers to Nat Khat Nandalala on Janmashtami day. Any funds raised beyond the goal will be used to feed more needy people and devotees.

All food distribution donations are tax-exempt under section 80G in India and are eligible for a 10B certificate.

For those donating Rs. 15,000/- or more, a special banner will be displayed at the prasad distribution site.

Beloved friends, your generous support has always been the backbone of ISKCON’s philanthropic initiatives. We humbly request you to give wholeheartedly. Without your help, we are unable to assist others.
