Gaura Purnima in Vrndavana
From Mahaman Das

[from Free forum]

Dear Maharajas, Prabhus, and Matajis,

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

Even though in Vrindavan, the Kartik Festival has become more prominent and much bigger than the Gaur Purnima Festival in the last few years, with over three thousand devotees participating, the Vrindavan management is making special arrangements to make this year's festival a memorable one.

As in recent years there will be no festival fees, but devotees should pay for accomodations and prasadam. Some of the highlights will be parikramas, free seminars, durlabh satsang, and the Boat Festival.

The dates of the festival are as follows:

28 March, Thursday

Gaur Purnima

29 March, Friday

Jagannath Misra Feast

30 March, Saturday

Devotees Depart from Mayapur

31 March, Sunday

Devotees arrive in Vrindavan

01 April, Monday

Vrindavan Festival begins

06 April, Saturday

Boat Festival

07 April, Sunday

Last day of festival

Thanking you.

Your servant,
Mahaman Das
