NOT TOO LATE: DO NOT MISS THE HISTORICAL FESTIVAL IN NEW MAYAPUR

[Guest guest]

THE FESTIVAL OF KRISHNA BALARAM IN NEW MAYAPUR

IS FAST APPROACHING

 

 

Dear Maharajas and Prabhus,

 

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

 

It's not too late to make plans to come to the HISTORICAL FESTIVAL of the

30th anniversary of the installation of Krishna Balaram in France

 

In New Mayapur, we just hosted a group of 150 Pandava Senas from UK for a

week; the walls of the castle and the forests around are still saturated

with the sound of the maha-mantra ; all the visitors who came marveled at

the gorgeous deities we have here, very special indeed. There will be lots

of Prabhupada's disciples during that festival, lots of nectar, and you

might have some sleepless night, for you will not want to miss out of the

ecstasy of the kirtan and Krishna katha flowing there.

 

Invite other devotees and friends, load up your can or van and just get on

the road. I advise you to bring your camping tents and gear. As far as the

accomodations go, the guesthouse is already full, sorry. Besides the camping

on the property, the organisers will have a huge tent for the men, and there

are always the local hotels in the village next to New Mayapur. We could

give you the fares for those, roughly 30 Euros a night (a taxi service will

be organised and many devotees live in that village, no anxiety for

transportation).

 

I'm giving you again the practical info for hotels and taxi service. Please

do not hesitate to contact me, I'm at your service, but please hurry up, and

inform us of your arrival. We need to know how many people are coming.

 

Your servant, Gaurangi dd
