Guest guest Posted February 22, 2001 Report Share Posted February 22, 2001 Dear prabhu, Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. Durban, South Africa is hosting its annual Ratha-yatra over the Easter weekend and we would like to send an invite to all wincom users. I'm not sure of the correct procedure, so please forgive me. We would like the message to read as follows : INVITE TO ALL ISKCON LEADERS AND DEVOTEES "The annual Durban, South Africa Ratha-yatra (Festival of Chariots) will be held over the Easter weekend (Friday, 13th to Monday, 16th April 2001). Over 200 000 people are expected to attend and as many plates of free Krishna prasadam shall be distributed. Apart from the cultural stage programme,, various tents shall boast of our glorious Vedic cultural heritage in the form of book stands, Indian clothing, gifts and devotional paraphernalia bazaar, multi-media and exhibitions, cooking demonstration and "Question and Answer" tents. A regal temple shall be constructed as a focal point of the festival and shall house Their Lordships, Jagannath, Baladeva and Subhadra where deity worship and offerings will take place in great pomp and splendour. A firm favourite with festival-goers over the years is the wide range of delicacies that may be picked up from the various speciality Govinda's take-aways and restaurant on site. Located on Durban's tourist haven, The Golden Mile, a stone's throw away from the sun-soaked beaches and entertainment capital of the city, the Ratha-yatra festival has earned itself the reputation of being the country's biggest free cultural festival. Kindly confirm your attendance by no later than 15th March 2001 to, iskcon.durban (AT) pamho (DOT) net so that we may make the necessary arrangements for accomodation, etc." Thank you. Hoping this meets you well. Your servants, members of the Ratha-yatra committee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
