The 516th
Gaura Purnima Festival By Tusti Mohan Krsna das
Dear devotees, Please accept my most humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada! We wish you the best in this very auspicious and blissful occasion of the appearance day of the Supreme Lord Sri Gauranga Mahaprabhu from the crest jewel of all tirthas, Sri Mayapur Navadwip Dham ( the appearance site of The Supreme Lord 516 years ago), and we pray to Srila Prabhupada to shower his mercy upon all of You during this day and give us more and more Krsna prema and allow us to do more seva for Sri Gauranga Mahaprabhu and his intimate associates so we can achieve pure love for Radha and Krsna. These days in Mayapur from, March 24, we have many Spiritual-Cultural-Artistic activities, and our installations are full of nice devotees from all over the world for the celebration of the 30th anniversary of the ISKCON Mayapur Festival. By the mercy of our beloved founder-acarya, His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, we hope to have an excellent day full of transcendental activities like Maha-abhisheka that this year will be in Srila Prabhupada's park, where thousands can see and bathe the Lord. This year, installations are bigger than ever with three altars including one for ladies, and we have nonstop artistic programs and nonstop 72-hour-Harinam Sankirtan in a special pandal. Yesterday, we had a great Jagannath Rathayatra attended by thousands of devotees and pilgrims here in Sri Mayapur Chandrodaya Mandir. We also have a Mini market, exhibitions, and dioramas about Krsna Lila as well an amusement park for the children, etc.
Today there will be the opportunity to light 516 lamps to Lord Gauranga as well as offer conch and sankha for performing abhishek, so we hope many of you can send and email requesting participation in this unique event, to (bps@pamho.net or tmk@pamho.net). We also have free prasadam distribution for thousands of people coming, and many are here already. We hope that for this seva, more and more people will get the opportunity to attain love of Godhead, as is the desire of Sri Krsna Caitanya Mahaprabhu. Please visit www.mayapur.info daily, where we are posting many pictures about all the activities that are happening in Mayapur. May the Lord bless all of you and make this next Vaishnava year better than ever with more love for Radha and Krsna, making easier the very heavy task of preaching the Holy Name (Hare Krsna Hare Krsna Krsna Krsna Hare Hare Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare) all over the world, and liberate all living entities and give them Krsna Prema. We are sending a pic of Sri Sri Radha Madhava and the Eight Sakhis in golden-colored clothes. Later today, we will be sending hundreds of photos to www.mayapur.info, especially the new dresses of the Deities. Your servant © CHAKRA 29 March 2002 |
