mahavisnura amsa - advaita gunadhama
isvare abheda, te-i advaita purna nama

(Caitanya-Caritamrta Adi 6.25)

Sri Advaita, who is a reservoir of virtues, is the main limb of Mahavisnu. His full name is Advaita, for He is identical in all respects with the Lord.

ISKCON of CNJ celebrated Advaita Acharya's Appearance Day and Sri-Jagannath Padma Vesha on Feb. 1, 2009.

The foremost of all the Vaishnavas who reside at Navadwip is Sri Advaita Acarya, whose virtuous presence has made all the worlds blessed.

The Sunday program at ICNJ started with melodious kirtans which was accompanied with the abhishek ceremony of Sri Advaita Acharya. The ceremony followed by a discourse on the glorification of Sri Advaita Acarya and the significance of Padma Vesha pastime of Lord Jagannath.

Devotees also had a special darshan of Sri Sri Jagannath Baladev Subhadra devi in a special Padma Vesha. During this time at Sri Jagannath Puri Dham, Lord Jagannath is dressed in a lotus attire outfit and hence Their Lordships were dressed in such a way here at ICNJ also.

Please join us to celebrate more such joyous events!
