ISKCON Manchester Live


Manchester Rathayatra 

Rathayatra is a huge festival for Lord Krishna and His devotees. An extraordinary chariot festival that originates in Jagannatha Puri on the east coast of India and dates back over 2,000 years.  

Everyone chants the Hare Krishna maha-mantra and dances in ecstacy as Krishna in His most merciful form of Jagannatha is pulled along on a huge wooden cart. 

Here are the pics from Manchester Rathayatra-2011 


Seminar on Vedic literature distribution - HG Vaisesika Prabhu  

Eager to serve Prabhupada’s foremost desire, HG Vaisesika Prabhu, North American Book Distribution Coordinator, has set up a model book distribution community in San Jose, California. 

HG Vaisesika Prabhu is one of the most successful devotees in motivating and training hundreds of devotes across the globe to distribute transcendental Vedic literature to the common person and thus help building a better Krishna conscious society 

Following video was recorded on 24th June 2011 at Hare Krishna temple Manchester. 


Celebrating the appearance of Lord Sri Ram
ISKCON Manchester celebrated the birth of Lord Sri Ram on Tuesday the 12th April 2011 and Sunday the 17th April 2011, with discourse on pastimes of Lord Sri Ram, special bhajans and Aarti . Highlight of the Sunday program was the drama namely, “The exile of Lord Sri Ram”, directed by Allan Prabhu 



 Krishna the Butter Thief

Krishna the butter thief, the very first movie drama produced by ISKCON Manchester congregational devotees. This drama is all about the Krishna’s childhood pass times to be specific, mischiefs by an innocent-looking child Krishna the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Even though Krishna is Supreme Personality of Godhead, he played the part of a human to be kind to his devotees.

I bet you will enjoy this movie drama...
 HARI BOL to all the devotees acted in this, especially the little kids reminds you the Gops and Gopies in the Krishna childhood pass times narrated by Srila Prabhupada in the Krishna book.
