Festival of Jagannatha Misra & Beginning of Visnu Masa (Caitra)
The Festival of Jagannatha Misra honors the father of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, remembering his devotion and role in nurturing the Lord’s divine pastimes. This celebration highlights the importance of family devotion, purity, and service in spiritual life, recognizing how Lord Chaitanya appeared in a home filled with devotion to Krishna.
On this day, Visnu Masa (Caitra) also begins, a sacred month dedicated to Lord Vishnu. Devotees increase their spiritual practices, including chanting, reading scriptures, and offering prayers. This period encourages deeper remembrance of the Lord and steady progress on the path of devotion.
