Festival of Jagannatha Misra

The Festival of Jagannatha Misra celebrates the joyful feast held by Lord Chaitanya's father after the Lord's appearance in Mayapur.

Significance of this day

Like Nandotsava after Krishna's birth, the celebration remembers Jagannatha Misra's happiness and generosity as relatives and neighbours welcomed the newborn Nimai.

How it is observed at ISKCON Asansol

• Devotees celebrate after Gaura Purnima with kirtan, glorification of Lord Chaitanya and generous distribution of prasadam.

Dates follow the authentic Gaudiya Vaishnava calendar observed at ISKCON Mayapur, calculated for our region. Timings for fasting and breaking the fast are announced at the temple.
