Need references

[Guest guest]

A local author has asked me to help him with a

reference book he is writing. Specifically, he wants

to know if there is a book published in Iskcon that

gives detailed information about Krishna conscious

festivals celebrated in Iskcon. I would be able to

provide primary sources, but I think he is looking for

something a little more popular. Does anyone know of

such a book published by Iskcon?

 

The list he has provided me with, given him by a

devotee at the local temple, contains the following 13

festivals--

 

1. Nityananda trayodasi

2. Gaur Purnima

3. Rama Navami

4. Nrisinghadeva

5. Chida dahi festival

6. Rathayatra

7. Jhulan Yatra

8. Balaram's appearance day

9. Janmastami

10. Nandotsava, Prabhupada's appearance day (Vyasa

Puja)

11. Radhastami

12. Diwali

13. Govardhan Puja

 

If anyone thinks that this list should be amended in

the Iskcon context (i.e., are there any important big

festivals that are not mentioned, or are any

unimportant festivals on this list (Diwali?)), please

let me know.

 

Thanks for the help.
