A magnificent once in a lifetime Gala celebrating 50 years of Hare Krishna culture in the UK

The Hare Krishnas have been making a mark on the UK scene for 50 years: from connecting with the Beatles and other pop icons, to visibly dancing on the streets of London, to feeding those in need, to providing a place of worship for spiritual seekers and Krishna worshipping settlers. They have done all of this while actively reaching out to share joy, peace, love and happiness through personal connections and meaningful projects grounded in deep and timeless wisdom. But most will know and remember the Hare Krishnas for music, dance and great food.

On their 50th anniversary, the Hare Krishnas are inviting everyone in the UK, from devotees to seekers, to curious friends to join them in a joyful Krishna Spectacular at Hammersmith Apollo and revel in the unprecedented experience of devotional music and theatre.

All are welcome to join the remarkable celebration of Krishna culture this November, and get a taste of the Hare Krishna community's offering.

In honour of the 50th Anniversary year of Sri Sri Radha-Londonisvara's installation, we are launching the opportunity to take home with you one or more of the 108 sets of golden shoes of Sri Sri Radha-Londonisvara.

These golden paduka have the lotus feet markings of Sri Sri Radha-Londonisvara embossed on them.

Your sponsorship will support the 50th Anniversary celebrations.

This festival celebrates the pastime of Lord Krishna lifting Govardhana Hill on His little finger for seven days to protect the residents of Vrindavana from torrential rains sent by the demigod, Indra. To celebrate this festival, devotees build a replica of Govardhana Hill made with various opulent foods, worship Lord Krishna as the lifter of Govardhana Hill, worship the hill as His incarnation, and worship the cows and bulls who are dear to Him. After the worship of the hill, the food items that make up the hill is distributed to everyone to relish.
