Opportunity for Vaishnava Seva

It had been my desire to invite His Grace Jugal Kishor Prabhu and other devotees from Pune when they come to Delhi either to attend Vyasa Puja Mahotsava or during Kartik Yatra. But their schedule is packed and hence it couldn't have been a possibility for last 2 years.

Jugal Kishor Prabhu again came on Aug 31 to Delhi to attend a 5-day seminar on Leadership initiative. It was presided by His Grace Brhad Mrdanga Prabhu. After lot of changing schedules, the opportune day of Monday was decided when Prabhuji agreed to come to our house. He came along with His Grace Sarva Lakshana Prabhu (Pune), His Grace Padma Puri Prabhu (Pune, but now serving in Delhi).

They came around 7:30 pm. After having darshans of lord at our home altar, they performed Gayatri. Then they were served Prasadam, north Indian style. Afterwards, we had invited a few local residents who are now regularly attending the Namahatta program. There was little kirtan and then Prabhuji spoke for a few minutes on different aspects of Krishna Consciousness, and how it is the only process to achieve satisfaction. There was a question by the audience which was satisfactorily answered by SarvaLakshan Prabhu.

Around 9:30 PM , they left for the temple. They had to catch the train to Rourkela the next morning at 7 AM.

The appreciation of course goes to Mithilesh, my mother and father for making nice arrangements for honoring devotees.
