Joyful Chanting & Sacred Celebrations: Harinam & Festivals

Harinam Sankirtan: Spreading Joy Through Sacred Sound

Harinam Sankirtan, the congregational chanting of the holy names of God, especially the Hare Krishna Maha-mantra, is the heartbeat of the Bhakti movement. It is a dynamic and joyful spiritual practice recommended in the Vedic scriptures as the most effective means for spiritual awakening in this age.

This public chanting is not just a performance; it's an offering of love, a prayer for universal well-being, and an invitation for everyone to experience the purifying and uplifting power of sacred sound. The vibrations created by Harinam cleanse the heart, soothe the mind, and create an atmosphere of peace and spiritual joy.

Join Our Weekly Harinam Outings!

The Bhaktifield community joyfully takes the practice of Harinam to the streets twice a week, sharing spiritual vibrations in various local towns. We invite you to join us!

• Mid-Week Harinam: Every Monday OR Tuesday (please check our weekly schedule for the specific day and location).
• Weekend Harinam: Every Saturday.

We regularly visit towns such as Lismore, Byron Bay, Gold Coast, Ballina, and surrounding areas. Participating in Harinam is a wonderful way to deepen your own spiritual practice, connect with fellow devotees, and share the gift of Bhakti with the wider community. No prior experience is needed – just an open heart!

Sacred Festivals at Our Local Ashram

Beyond our regular Harinam outings, the Bhaktifield community comes together at our local ashram to celebrate special Vaishnava festival days. These occasions are marked by an intensified spiritual atmosphere, filled with elaborate deity worship (puja), extended kirtans, enlightening discourses on the significance of the day, and delicious Prasadam feasts shared by all.

We joyfully observe festivals such as:

• Gaura Purnima: The appearance day of Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu.
• Sri Krishna Janmashtami: The appearance day of Lord Sri Krishna.
• Radhashtami: The appearance day of Srimati Radharani.
• Nrsimha Caturdasi: The appearance day of Lord Nrsimhadeva.
• And many other important occasions throughout the Vaishnava calendar.

Joining these festival celebrations is a profound way to immerse oneself in Bhakti, learn more about the divine personalities, and experience the deep joy of spiritual community.
