Deep Daan at ISKCON NAIROBI

During the auspicious month of Kartik, offering a ghee lamp to Lord Krishna is considered one of the highest forms of spiritual service. This sacred act, known as Deep Daan, is said to dissipate the darkness of countless lifetimes and ignite the flame of pure devotion in the heart.

At ISKCON Nairobi, we invite you to participate in this beautiful tradition. By offering a lamp, you are performing a service that is especially dear to the Lord in His form as Damodara—the one who was bound by the ropes of His mother's love.

Every evening during the Damodara month, the temple is filled with the soft glow of hundreds of lamps and the melodious chanting of the Damodarashtakam. Your contribution helps us maintain these traditional festivities and provide the lamps offered to the Deities on your behalf.

According to the scriptures, even a small lamp offered with sincerity during this month can grant liberation and eternal residence in the spiritual world. It is a time when the Lord's mercy is most accessible to all.

Whether you are near or far, you can participate in this divine offering. A single flame offered by you can bring light and auspiciousness to your entire family.
