The Festival

A celebration of fearless devotion

Surdas Jayanti is observed to honor Surdas, a blind poet-saint whose verses about Lord Krishna, especially those depicting Krishna’s childhood and life in Vrindavan, remain timeless. Surdas is recognized for his significant role in the Bhakti movement, expressing divine love and devotion through his poetic compositions, especially in the Sursagar (Ocean of Sur’s songs). Devotees gather to recite his poems, sing hymns, and reflect on his teachings of devotion and compassion.
