Devotees of New Yogapitha Dham in Ljubljana, Slovenia, organized a festival for Narasimha Caturdasi. This temple, although situated in a small country, receives some 100 to 150 visitors for a typical Sunday feast, and there is also an enthusiastic congregation.

We decided to organize the festival to run on Sunday and Monday. The program started at 4 pm with bhajans led by Sandipani Muni Prabhu and an abhisheka of Virya Narasimha. He is Ugra Narasimha with Hiranyakashipu on his lap, and Prahlada is offering Him prayers. Later on we had a lecture with slides by Abhinandana Nitai Prabhu and an enthusiastic kirtan followed by a feast of different cakes, savories, etc. If you ever have the occasion, please come to see our beautiful Pancha Tattva Deities also.
