It's been long since I posted on my blog. So here we go with the pics of their Lordships smeared with sandalwood paste to cool their bodies in the simmering heat of the north India. The chandan yatra is a 21-day festival which is celebrated across all ISKCON centres, Gaudiya Mathas and Sri Jagannath Puri Temple.
This festival begins on the auspicious occasion of Akshay Tritiya. On this day, whatever we do becomes akshaya (inexhaustible). HH Bhakti Vishramb Madhav Maharaja gave a sweet lecture on this day in ISKON, East of kailash, where he explained the significance of inexhaustible nature of dovetailing everything in Krishna's service. He also told that we should grind tulasi bark along with sandalwood and then it would give real pleasure to Krishna.
I remember one statement which really made an impact:
"You offer Tulasi devi to Krishna, and mercifully, she will offer you in krishna's service"
It's so easy. All Glories to Tulasi Devi, the dearmost devotee of Krishna.
Here are the pics from East of Kailash and Punjabi bagh temple on the day of Akshay tritiya.
Thanks to Kovid prabhu for contributing these pictures.
