Dear Friends,

Purushottama Maas
Wednesday, 17 June – Wednesday 15 July
Next Wednesday, 17 June begins Purushottama Adhik Maas, the very auspicious month of Purushottama which comes every two, sometimes three years. (For more information on this auspicious month of devotion and the recommended devotional practices to accrue optimal spiritual benefit please see our website, www.iskcondurban.net – info should be available by the end of day.) Sri Sri Radha Radhanath Temple will be hosting a programme every evening from 7:00pm. After the Sandhya (Gaura) arati, we will read from Srimad Bhagavatam (sanskrit, word-for-word and Srila Prabhupada’s purport). The reading of Srimad Bhagavatam is the prime offering for this month. You can also give charity to Sri Sri Radha Radhanath in the form of anadaan, pushpadaan or Take Care of Krishna. 
 
Bhakti Theatre
Saturday, 20 June, 4pm 
Our brand new line-up includes: Aden Hinds (from the Hinds Brothers, who recently played alongside The Parlotones), MC Pralamz – who will warm you up with great moves and audience participation, the never before staged, modern drama “Shopping for the Self”, a short puppet show to entertain our young ones, some graceful dances and a few surprises. Once again you are invited to bring your blankets and cushions. BYS (Bhakti Yoga Society) will be providing our light meals, snacks and drinks. Note that the menu is completely different from the last show. Picnic baskets are available on pre orders only. Tickets are on sale at the door – only R10. The show begins at 4:00pm sharp, so come in early, grab a seat, order your meal and get comfortable for a fun evening of spiritual entertainment.
