Vrinda Kunda Festival

[Guest guest]

This February marks the second anniversary of the opening of Vrinda Devi's

Temple in Vrinda Kunda at Nandagaon. So if you're wondering what to do between

the fabulous Prabhupada Festival in Bombay and the wonderful Prabhupada Family

Reunion in Mayapur. Well from the 23rd of February to 4th of March we are

planning an ecstatic Vrinda Kunda Festival with parikramas with Deena Bandhu to

all the Sacred Sites of Radha and Krishna's pastimes in Vraja!

 

Prabhupada said that Bombay is my office, Vrindavan is my home, and Mayapur is

my place of worship. So now you can easily relish the nectar in all these

places so dear to him. And in February the weather in Vraja is very pleasant,

better than Kartika.

 

No has forgotten the festival in Bombay for the 25th Anniversary of Radha

Rasabehari Mandir. They really know how to put on a festival, so you don't want

to miss this one either. Then afterwards you can come to Vraja for our Vrinda

Kunda 2nd Anniversary Festival. Or if you're on your way to the Prabhupada

Family Reunion in Mayapur, stop and relish Vrindavan bliss on your way.

 

And for those Prabhupada disciples either coming from the Prabhupada festival

in Bombay or on your way to the one in Mayapur, there will be free parikrama

passes for them and their accompanied family members. We will also give special

discounts to all of Srila Prabhupada's Youth.

 

We're setting up the parikrama schedule with Parikramas on every other day.

Then you can relish the ecstatic Sringar Darshan of Sri Sri Krishna Balaram,

Radha Shyamsundar, and Gaura Nitai, as well as the wonderful morning program on

the off days.

So make your plans or change your plans now to dive into the nectar in Srila

Prabhupada's Office, Home, and Place of Worship. And remember that Gaura

Purnima is very late this year on Mar 25th, so after Gaura Purnima the weather

will be very hot. The schools also start their vacations at that time, so it is

very dificult to get reservations on the trains. Also because of the heat and

his health, Deena Bandhu will not be doing parikramas during the Vrindavan

Festival. So better to take advantage of this once in lifetime opportunity.

 

In service of Sri Sri Krishna Balaram,
