By the mercy of Śrī Guru and Gaurāṅga, we warmly invite everyone to take part in an unmissable event for all who seek the perfection of pure love for God.
You might be thinking:
"Ah, at last! I already know... It’s the traditional Year-End Festival in Brazil with Śrī Śrīmad Bhaktivedānta Vana Gosvāmī Mahārāja! Splendid! What are the dates?"
Hold on a moment... If it were just that, it would be simple enough to announce... But it’s not just that...
The event in question is extraordinarily unique!
On this occasion, the Śrīmad Bhāgavatam—the spotless Purāṇa and essence of all the Vedas—will be recited continuously for 7 days. By hearing the Śrīmad Bhāgavatam from an authentic source, a soul wandering in this material world can attain the ultimate goal of existence: service at the lotus feet of the divine couple Śrī Śrī Rādhā and Kṛṣṇa.
Now you might think:
"What!? So there’s going to be a Bhāgavat Saptāha?! I certainly can’t miss that!"
Wait, there’s even more...
Have a look at what features in the Vaiṣṇava calendar
during the event!

TIROBHĀVA MAHOTSAVA
Śrī Śrīmad Bhaktivedānta
Nārāyaṇa Gosvāmī Mahārāja
31 December 2026
The day on which the personifications of Śrī Kṛṣṇa’s condensed mercy—the transcendental ācāryas and representatives of our entire rūpānuga-guru-varga—pour down their shower of mercy upon all. Anyone who hears about them, speaks of them, and remembers them will be guided swiftly along the path to the eternal transcendental abode, Śrī Goloka Vṛndāvana-dhāma.
"I simply must be there... I’m definitely going! What are the dates!?"
Save the dates, book your accommodation, arrange your travel, and come to water the seed of devotion in your heart with the nectar of hari-kathā flowing from the lotus mouth of Bhakti Cakora Śrī Śrīmad Bhaktivedānta Vana Gosvāmī Mahārāja!
It is almost difficult to describe such a festival... How should we announce it? Bhāgavat Saptāha? New Year’s Festival? Vyāsa Pūjā Mahotsava? Tirobhāva Mahotsava? It encompasses so many celebrations... Hmm... It is a true Mahā Mahotsava!
We welcome you all to the...
New Year's
Bhāgavat Saptāha
Mahā Mahotsava
2026-2027
Dates
30/12/2026 to 05/01/2027
Venue
Śrī Śrī Rādhā Govinda Gauḍīya Maṭha
Rua Hermes Fontes 18, Pinheiros - São Paulo/SP, Brazil
Accommodation
Over the New Year period, São Paulo is remarkably quiet as most people travel to the coast or countryside. We therefore advise booking well in advance: Airbnbs, guesthouses, hotels, or hostels near the temple for these dates.
Please note: Due to space constraints, the Śrī Śrī Rādhā Govinda Gauḍīya Maṭha Temple and the Bhakti Cakora Āśrama of São Paulo (the temple guesthouse) can only accommodate residents of other temples, as well as brahmacāris and brahmacāriṇīs from Brazil and abroad.
Donations
Anyone inspired to support the festival through donations—given our need for flowers, bhoga, decorations, sound, lighting, and stage setup—is most welcome to do so via the following details:
