Hare Krishna! Join us for the joyous Panihati Cida Dahi Festival at ISKCON Auckland's Sri Sri Radha Giridhari Temple on Sunday 28th June 2026, starting from 11:00 am. This annual festival commemorates the historic meeting between Lord Nityananda and Raghunatha dasa Goswami at Panihati, West Bengal.
This wonderful pastime remembers how the Lord mercifully reciprocated with His devotees by arranging, through Nityananda Prabhu and Raghunatha dasa, to provide an ecstatic feast of yoghurt and chipped rice, along with various other nectar preparations. Below is an excerpt from Sri Caitanya-caritamrta, Antya lila chapter 6, which describes this wonderful pastime in detail: https://vedabase.io/en/library/cc/antya/6/
