February 22nd to 25th 2012

10 a.m. to 10 p.m. -  non-stop ecstatic, deep, loving kirtan.

The first day of the 1st Mayapur Kirtan Mela, February 22nd, disappearance day of HH Tamal krishna Goswami, is dedicated with all our affection to his memory. He strongly promoted the revival of the "Kirtan Culture" in Sridham Mayapur. Prior to his departure HH Tamal Krishna Goswami maharaj would have kirtans in his room daily, from where they moved into the temple room. Since his departure devotees have kept the tradition under the banner of Holy Name Abhiseka during the first days of the Mayapur Gaur Purnima Festival. This year the evenings of Holy Name Abhiseka have expanded into 4 -12 hour kirtans... or more.
