Hare krishna dear Gurudev

Please accept my humble obeisances

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada!

I hope this meets you in good health and sankirtan bliss

I am very grateful to be in touch with you and have your association though Goto, WhatsApp, Blog. I would like to share with you that this august month was very intense with so many festivals in local iskcon temple of Asunción Paraguay. around 50 attendees in Janmashtami and 30 attendees in Radhastami, kirtan and lecture was performed and Prasada distribution for all guest.

I do some seva for that purpose in pujari, kirtan, kitchen, cleaning and so on. It was really enlightening to participate in the festival this year. Especially to see local matajis seva for pujari, they are doing themselves the clothing, crowns, jewelry for Goura Nitay, Prahlad Nrisimha and Srila Prabhupada. I will share some photos but all of this I never seen it before because devotees usually buy that stuff from India, now devotes are doing it and that’s why I get surprise this time. After all the festivals we also have the great visitor of the local Indian Ambassador Dr. Piyush Singh, now he is very eager to collaborate with local iskcon. I hope I can share more insights and reports in next letters.

pd. next time we will definitely try to offert plum chutney on Radhastami, thanks for the advice.

kind regards

thank you

HpS - Thank you so, so, much! These festivals are essential part of our Bhakti yoga, no? Srila Prabhupada introduced them from the very beginning.

Daily festival of Mangala arati and then Sandhya, Gaura arati.

Sunday Festival!

We have a collection of Power Point Shows that we are gradually developing for each festival day.

We can worship the Deities, chant more Kirtan, Bhajan, chant and memorize important verses and songs...

... everyone has something to offer, especially Srila Prabhupada's ISKCON's initiated disciples!
