Brief details of centre
Bhaktivedanta Manor is the UK headquarters for the International Society for Krishna Consciousness. Donated to the service of His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada by the late George Harrison, Bhaktivedanta Manor has served as one of the main centres for the Krishna consciousness movement since 1973.
Located near Aldenham, Watford, about 20 miles North-West of London, Bhaktivedanta Manor is surrounded by beautiful greenery, farmland and quaint English villages.
The manor has a theological college and a magnificent shrine for the worship of Sri Sri Radha-Gokulananda and Sri Sri Sita-Rama. Laxman and Hanuman.
At Janmastami, Bhaktivedanta Manor stages the largest Hindu festival outside of India, each year receiving about 50,000 pilgrims over a period of two days. The event is celebrated in great pomp and splendour. There are many exhibitions, books and paraphernalia stalls, prasad (sanctified food), plays, and dancing. The festival is manned and organised by volunteers.
History
In 1973, when George Harrison donated the Manor building and estate, Hertsmere Borough Council allowed Bhaktivedanta Manor to operate as a theological college. At that time, Srila Prabhupada established a Vaisnava college, with a shrine accessible to the public.
After initial complaints by some local village residents about the increase in traffic, Hertsmere Council decided to take strong action against the public worship. In 1981 it tried to stop worshippers and pilgrims by banning all festivals. Later, however, a compromise was reached to limit large festivals to six days a year. the battle to keep the temple open continued for many years. Finally in 1996, permission was granted and the temple was allowed to stay open.
Since then Bhaktivedanta Manor has become renowned as an important place of pilgrimage. People are attracted to the worship, the farm and the gardens.

In the ancient Vaishnava tradition, God
Dressed by: Sachimata dd. & Chaitanya Lila das.
In the ancient Vaishnava tradition, God (Krishna) is understood to have a personal form that is sacred and worshipable. One of the main goals of Vaishnavism is to develop a personal relationship with Lord Krishna, by learning how to serve Him with love and devotion. With this end in mind, the Deity of the Lord in the temple is worshiped, and by this practice the worshiper is purified.
The Vaishnava scriptures support the practice of Deity worship. for example in the Bhagavad-gita (9.26) Lord Krishna says, "If one offers Me with love and devotion a leaf, a fl ower, a fruit or water, I will accept it." Srila Prabhupada, the founder-acarya of ISKCON, writes in his commentary to this verse, "for the intelligent person, it is essential to be in Krishna consciousness, engaged in the transcendental loving service of the Lord, in order to achieve a permanent, blissful abode for eternal happiness."
In ISV, Lord Krishna and His eternal consort, Srimati Radharani (Sri Sri Radha - Madhana Mohan), are worshiped on the center altar. There are two more altars. On the right altar are Laxmi Nrisimha. On the left altar are Sri Sri Gauranga. Devotees make seven daily offerings of worship and specially cooked, pure vegetarian food and worship to the Deities. This daily program is performed by Vaishnava priests (pujaris).
The Deities clothes (which are hand-made) are changed twice a day. On festival days there are special feasts, and the Deities receive new clothes and paraphernalia

Ilustración 13:
En la estación lluviosa algunos caminos no se frecuentan y se cubren de largo herbaje y se hace entonces muy difícil ver el camino. Similarmente, en esta era, los brahmanas no estudian apropiadamente las Escrituras trascendentales. Cubiertas por los efectos del tiempo, las Escrituras están prácticamente perdidas y es muy difícil entenderlas o seguirlas.
Ilustración 14:
Los relámpagos son inconstantes en sus relaciones amistosas y no pueden permanecer fieles a ninguna de las nubes, aun cuando ellas son amigas de todo el mundo; exactamente como una mujer lujuriosa no permanece fiel ni siquiera en compañía de un hombre que posee excelentes cualidades.
Ilustración 15:
En medio del tronar del cielo nublado, aparece un arco iris que no tiene cuerda. Su aparición se compara con la aparición de la Suprema Personalidad de Dios o de Sus sirvientes en medio de la atmósfera material.
Ilustración 16:
En la noche, por la gracia de la luz de la Luna, se pueden ver las nubes moverse en el cielo. Inclusive la Luna misma parece moverse también, tal como un ser viviente parece estar moviéndose debido a la falsa identificación con la materia.
Ilustración 17:
Cuando las nubes aparecen en el cielo, los pavos reales comienzan a danzar en éxtasis, tal como un alma sincera reboza de alegría ante la visita de un santo a su casa.
Ilustración 18:
Muchas plantas y enredaderas que estaban casi muertas durante los meses de abril y mayo son nuevamente visibles bajo diversas formas debido a que se nutren a través de sus raíces en contacto con la tierra húmeda. Estas innumerables plantas y enredaderas se parecen a personas que se secan mediante severas penitencias para conseguir algún beneficio material, pero, que luego de alcanzar sus objetivos, se vuelven voluptuosamente obesas, nutridas por el placer de los sentidos.
