Hare Krishna Guru Maharaj,
We had a splendid Rath Yatra....and Purna Yatra.......so many pastimes to share...so many lovely moments.....thank You so much Guru Maharaj
We prepared bhoga for Their Lorships yet again ...on Purna Yatra...this time Subhadra Ma started showering Her love....the heavenly showers were a great delight....devotees pulled the cart all the while ....some with umbrellas in hand some without. Then....benevolent as always...the showers stopped ....the kirtan melted our hearts.....and all for Their Lordship's pleasure ..we pulled...pulled..pulled the cart...danced in gay abandon....
And as we headed back to the temple....Mother Subhadra insisted on a parikrama inside the temple....we loved every bit of it....Ma won't straight away get inside the altar area....last time on the Rath Yatra day ..that was on 14th July our Jagannath won't get inside ...we had to take Him round and round....He is so playful
This time we organized Rathyatra Festival programme for 9 days, every evening at the temple premises. It went great. We could manage to distribute 41transcendental books in 2 days....the first and the last day.Thank you Gurudev.
We are sending some pics. In one of the pics , the school where I got my high school education is seen,"Little Flower School", run by Roman Catholic Salesian sisters . Krishna kept us so close to His devotees ....for as far back as I could remember....
We hope to hear from Guru Maharaj soon.
We have started meetings for Janmastami preparations. We need Guru Maharaj's blessings to carry forth the celebrations.
Your ignorant servant,
Sarada Gaurangi DD
HpS - Thank you for the news. Manipur is the life of the world!!! You can see from the DTC that we are traveling now and answering letters is different, so may be a little slower. We all have to understand our position in the Sankirtan movment. Which was better? For M. Yasoda to save Krsna's milk on the stove or give Him her milk?? Prabhupada says that if we are sincere them Krsna, in the heart, will tell us which service comes first.
We are still struggling with this India calendar and our plans to visit India and the Northeast. Hope to have the resolution soon.
