Ratha Yatra Sofia

[Guest guest]

Hare Krishna!

Please, accept my humble obeisances!

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

 

Dear Maharajas and Prabhus,

 

We just had our 11th Ratha Yatra Festival in Sofia, Bulgaria.

 

It was a small, but sweet two days festival. The festival included:

procession, fire yajna, bhajans, lectures, book and prasadam distribution.

 

I'd especially like to thank Prahladananda Swami for participating the

festival and for inspiring us all during his stay in Sofia! I'd also like to

thank Lilasuka (BCS) Prabhu for being with us and for his exemplary

association! Our thanks to Danurdhara Prabhu from Belgrade and bh. Bugi from

Skopje, Macedonia for inspiring us all with their sweet and ecstatic

chanting during the procession and the bhajans before and after the

procession! Thanks to all the devotees, who came for the festival from the

neighbor countries: Serbia and Macedonia!

 

And of course, last but not least, we offer our humble obeisances to Srila

Prabhupada and thank him for bringing Krishna Consciousness and this

wonderful festival to the west!

 

We hope and pray that Lord Jagannatha will accept our humble attempt to

serve and glorify Him!

 

The festival, as usually, was positively covered by the media:

it shows the spirit of the reports...

one shows the first page of one of the most popular daily newspapers.
