Kartik Shoba Yatra - 2022

"Taking part in these festivals means a step forward for our self-realization"

(Festival Lectures by Srila Prabhupa Quoted in London on July 13, 1972)

“Our Hare Kṛṣṇa movement is standing on three principal things: chanting, dancing, and eating prasādam. It is not very difficult. It is very enjoyable to chant, dance, and take prasādam and by doing this your life will gradually progress in spiritual advancement of life. And if you continue this, then some day will come, even in this life it may come, that you will understand what Kṛṣṇa is”.
(By Srila Prabhupad)

Sri Sri Krishna Balaram Kartik Shoba Yatra is a grand annual festival celebrated at Iskcon Vrindavan where Lords Sri Sri Krishna Balaram gets a grand welcome on the streets of Vrindavan during the auspicious month of Kartik.

Kartik is the best and most glorious month, holiest of holy and purest of pure. It is particularly dear to Lord Krishna, because it is the month of Srimati Radharani. This month is full of love of the Lord towards His devotees. Any vow followed, any service done in this month, even a small one, brings tremendous results, actually thousand times more result. The essence of Kartika-vrata is to satisfy Sri Sri Radha-Damodara with our more and better devotional service to them.
