Two days of celebration at Bhaktidham — Mangala Arati at 5 AM, a maha-yajna at 10, and an evening of bhajan, abhishek, and kirtan running past midnight on Friday, 4 September. Celebrations continue Saturday, 5 September with Nandotsav and Srila Prabhupada's Appearance Day.
Come for a darshan, an evening arati, or Sunday feast with the community — ISKCON Satara is a home for anyone drawn to the path of bhakti.
A verse from Sant Tukaram's Varkari tradition meets a verse from the Bhagavad Gita — the path walked each year to Pandharpur, and the path Srila Prabhupada carried around the world, meeting at one threshold.
जे का रंजले गांजले । त्यासी म्हणे जो आपुले ॥ तोचि साधु ओळखावा । देव तेथेचि जाणावा ॥
Je ka ranjale ganjale, tyasi mhane jo aapule — tochi sadhu olakhava, dev tethechi janava.
Whoever calls the suffering and the afflicted their own — know that person to be a true saint; know that God dwells right there.
समोऽहं सर्वभूतेषु न मे द्वेष्योऽस्ति न प्रियः । ये भजन्ति तु मां भक्त्या मयि ते तेषु चाप्यहम् ॥
I am equal to all beings; none is hateful to Me, nor dear. But those who worship Me with devotion dwell in Me, and I in them.
