What's going on ?

I thought that I will also post whats generally going on in my life. So to start with Delhi temple is bustling with activity for preparation for the upcoming Maha-Festival - Jamnashtmi, the appearance day of the Supreme Lord. So many departments, so many volunteers. It's being managed very nicely. My parents got the same seva they got last time - thats Japa Plaza.

IYF devotees were informed about their seva. They play a very important role in fecilitating the humongous task of managing the festival. Along with congregation, IYF forms the workforce, with senior devotees managing them with their expert guidance.

IYF has big plans this time. Some major innovations for preaching this time around.

On another note, I visited Sridhama Vrindavan yesterday. On reaching I realized that what an auspicious day it was apart from me being there in Sri dhama. It was Ekadasi, during the month of Savan, 2nd day of Jhulan Yatra and Disappearance Day of Sri Rupa Goswami Prabhupada.

After taking darshans of Krishna Balarama, Gaura Nitai and Radha Shyamsundar, we could only take darshans at Radha Damodar Mandir. Sunday being holiday, Vrindavan was thronged by lakhs of devotees and thousands of vehicles. It was chaos on roads. But Vrindavan always mantains its place in the heart of the devotee.

After doing whole lot of shopping for deities by Avyanga Prabhu, we ended up in the evening Kirtan at Krishna Balarama Mandir. That time, the supremely beautiful all attractive lord Sri Krishna was enjoying swinging pastimes with his most beloved Srimati Radharani. The whole arrangement was decorated heavily with flowers.

We left around 8:30 pm and reached home by 11:30 pm.
