The Venue
The Temple is a small residential house. Sri Bhakti Lakshmi Narasimha Himself is in
a small living room. Therefore, we ask for your patience and please be aware of the
following
Changing
 There are NO changing facilities at the Temple as the upper part of the house is
out of bounds, so please come in your full change of clothes beforehand;
Seating
 TRAVEL LIGHT as there is extremely little space for coats, bags and cushions;
 Unfortunately due to limited space, there are NO chairs in the main Temple room
– people can only sit on the floor. Chairs will be available in front of an outdoor
projector at the side of the house, which will show live footage of what is
happening inside the Temple

Outside the Temple
 Please respect our neighbours by not dropping litter, blocking driveways and
making too much noise when entering and leaving.

Celebrations

The evening will feature the following:
o Kailash Puja (ritual ceremony) and Yagna (fire ceremony) as an offering
o Appearance of Lord Narasimha in His most Powerful form – Ugra Narasimha
o Maha Abishek to Sri Bhakti Lakshmi Narasimha
o Final Darshan of Sri Bhakti Lakshmi Narasimha
There will be lively kirtan and inspirational speeches throughout the evening.
Depending on the number of people registering, it is likely that seating in the
temple will be split into 3 different parts, so everyone has the chance to be close
to Lord Narasimha on this special evening.
Donations (Dakshina)

In accordance with the Hindu tradition, you will have the opportunities to pay your
respects to the Deity by offering Dakshina to Lord Narasimha when taking His
Darshan
Prayers




Please participate by joining in with the singing and clapping your hands. It is far
more beneficial to you and all involved, if everyone actively participates in the
prayers as oppose to doing individual meditation during these periods. Active
participation in the main temple area is vital to keep up the uplifting ambience.
The majority of the prayers will simply involve Kirtan, which is repeating only a
few of the Lord’s different names.
Please do not speak amongst yourselves during the prayers.
Please switch off mobile phones/ alarms or keep them on Silent.
If you have young children or babies, please take them outside of the main
temple area if they are unable to sit quietly and join in the prayers.
Photography/ Audio and Visual Recordings

We respectfully ask that no personal photography/ recordings of any kind are
taken during the evening. Only those who have been tasked to do so by Bhakti
Marga UK are permitted.
Dress Code

Please be respectful of the occasion and all fellow attendees by dressing
discretely.
o Women should ideally come dressed in sarees or a long skirt (please no
shorts, mini-skirts, revealing/fitted tops etc.)
4
o Men should try to come in a kurtha – if not possible, please come smartly
dressed (long shirt and smart trousers)
