Hisar, March 26: By the grace of Lord Sri Krishna, the Sri Krishna-Balarama Shobha Yatra Festival will once again be celebrated in Hisar with great pomp and grandeur on March 28, joined by devotees arriving from across the country and abroad. The inspiration for this festival—intended to sanctify the land of Hisar and bestow divine *darshan* (sight) upon the city's residents—was provided by His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada. Today, his followers continue to carry forward this service.
Under the inspiration and blessings of one of Srila Prabhupada's own disciples, Srila Subhaga Swami Maharaj, the Sri Krishna-Balarama Shobha Yatra will be celebrated in Hisar for the seventh time with immense devotion. This procession will commence from the Bishnoi Temple in Rajguru Market at 3:30 PM and, after passing through the city's main markets, will conclude back at the Bishnoi Temple with a grand community feast (*Bhandara*).
Prior to this, on March 27, starting at 6:00 PM, the Ram Navami Festival will be celebrated with great enthusiasm at the Sri Sri Jagannath Temple in Sector 15 (near Govind Restaurant). Gopal Bhatt Das Brahmachari—the temple president and a resident of Spain—stated that, according to the scriptures, any individual who beholds the divine *darshan* of Lord Krishna and Lord Balarama while they are seated upon their chariot is liberated from the cycle of rebirth.
