Shivaratri
Festival Grand Success
Friday evening's Srivaratri at our Hare Krishna Temple was a
grand success.
The program began with a beautiful kirtan by Dina Bandhu prabhu
while the Gaura Arati was going on.
Two male Bhartnatyam dancers gave an incredible performance with
style and precise choreography.
His grace Anadi Govinda Dasa next gave a discourse glorifying the
Lord's greatest devotee, Mahadeva (Shiva).
After the class two kirtans of the chanting the holy names went on
simultaneously. One in the temple room by Mahidhara prabhu while
devotees lined up to offer flowers to Lord Shiva on Mount Kailash
and the other by Kaliya Krishna prabhu in the special arena set up
just in front of the temple for the occasion as other devotees
bathed the Shiva Lingam .
The evening concluded by honoring the excellent feast prepared by
Jhulyan-Yatra devi dasi and Jaya Saci Suta dasa.
Many thanks to all the devotees who helped make this years
celebration a grand sucess.
A special thank you to Mr. & Mrs. Subash Gupta and Govinda Charan
Dasa for their generous financial contributions.
