Guest guest Posted June 2, 2004 Report Share Posted June 2, 2004 Respected Devotees, Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. On the occasion of Danda Mohatsav we the devotees from Calcutta,Mayapur and all over Bengal attended the annual festival at Panihati. It was a hot and humid day and our preparations started the earlier day of procurring the ingredients for the festival. At around 10am we carried the pots of chira dahi with all seasonal fruits and sweets for offering at the sacred banayan tree right on the bank of the Ganges under which Sri Nitananda Prabhu sat and gave the danda of observing this festival. After returning we started distributiug prasadam which went on till about 3pm to over fifteen thousand devotees who honoured the same and participated in wonderful kirtan and Hari katha. His Holiness Bhakti Vigna Vinashak Nrisingha Swami Maharaj graced the occassion and after prasadam distribution devotees plunged into the cool water of the Ganges and then had prasadam at a nearby temple. The festival was attended by thousands of devotees and prasad was distributed by various religious organisations and individuals and the whole area turnd into a huge fair. Ours was the largest pandel and best of facilities. We expect all of you to come and participate at the orignal site at Panihati and get the mercy of Sri Nitananda Prabhu and all the Vaishnavas. Looking froward to meeting you all next year at the festival. Your humble servant, Mukunda das Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
