    Sri Krishna Janmashtami falls on Ashtami thithi, Rohini nakshatram during Shravana masa. Lord Vishnu took form as Krishna to end the sufferings of His devotees on earth. His greatness is spoken of by many great devotees, who have composed many hymns in His praise. Jayadevar’s poetic work, Gita Govindam, is written expressing in Nayaka-Nayaki Bhava which is akin to the relationship between the Jiva and Ishwara, in aspects such as the experience of union and devotion. Here, Krishna is the Paramatman, Radha the Jivatman, and the friend is the Acharya.

    The poets look at Krishna as a child, as a lover, as Almighty, as a savior, as a friend. He can be all of them, is the reason Krishna is the favorite of both kid and adults. And Krishna Janmashtami is a celebration enjoyed by all ages.

    Samuhika Vara Lakshmi Vratam at 7:30 p.m. – Aug 19

    Varalakshmi Puja day is one of the significant days to worship the goddess of wealth and prosperity. The Varalakshmi fasting is observed on the last Friday during Shravana Shukla Paksha and falls just a few days ahead of Rakhi and Shravana Purnima.

    To Register for the Puja – SAAMUHIKA VARALAKSHMI PUJA. 
    Devotees are requested to bring paan leaves, betel nuts, fruits, flowers, coconuts, and prasad for the offering. All other puja samagri will be provided by the temple.
     
    Varalakshmi, who is the consort of Lord Vishnu, is one of the forms of Goddess Mahalakshmi, incarnated from the milky ocean, popularly known as Kshir Sagar.  Varalakshmi form of the goddess bestows boons and fulfills all desires of her devotees. Hence this form of the goddess is known as Vara Lakshmi i.e. Goddess Lakshmi who bestows boons.
     
    Varalakshmi fasting is performed with the desire for worldly pleasures, including children, spouse, and luxuries. It is believed that worshipping Goddess Vara-Lakshmi on this day is equivalent to worshipping Ashtalakshmi i.e. the eight Goddesses of Wealth (Sri), Earth (Bhu), Learning (Saraswati), Love (Priti), Fame (Kirti), Peace (Shanti), Pleasure (Tushti) and Strength (Pushti).

    Hanuman is the prime devotee of Lord Rama. He is the embodiment of courage, strength and devotion. The Hanuman Chalisa is a collection of 40 verses by Saint Tulsidas, in which he talks about Hanuman’s devotion to Lord Rama, his courage, strength, appearance, His role in the Ramayana, and the need for His blessings to devotees. Chanting the Chalisa gives a lot of internal strength to the devotees and when chanting it 108 times in single day, the devotee has his wishes fulfilled. The Chalisa is written in such simple style, that even people who are new to this text find it easy to read or follow. Saturday at the temple please join in at least for a little while to read or chant this beautiful hymn along with other devotees, 1:00-7:00 pm. Abhishekam and Archana at 7:00 pm to Lord Hanumanji.Devotees may bring fruits, flowers, prasad to offer for Lord Hanumanji.

    Everyone, especially children, should have a chance to see the Sahasra Deepam Alankaram of Lord Venkateswara at least once in their lives. When the lights are turned low, and the dipas glisten, it is both beautiful and mystical.

    Lord Venkateshwara, SreeDevi and Bhoo Devi will be seated on the Unjal (Swing) as priests chant vedic hymns and devotees light a thousand diyas around them. All are welcome to participate in preparing the deepams and lighting them.

    Every religion uses deepas (lights) in their services.  Light symbolizes God. Devotees including children will light the lights, setting them on an auspicious path and burning away their sins.
