Guest guest Report post Posted July 6, 2003 My dear Maharajas and Prabhujis, Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada! We would like to invite you all to the Vrindavan half of the Gaura Purnima Festival from the 21st to 29th of March. A very ecstatic festival of Vraj Parikrama, Hari Nama Sankirtan, and the beautiful Boat Festival have been planned out. And there is no Festival Registration Fee! On the evening of 22nd March, we will take Their Lordships Sri Sri Radha Shyamsundar on a gorgeously decorated boat in the courtyard of Krishna Balaram Mandir. From 4:30 pm onwards, Their Lordships will be giving darshan in a exquisite shrine on an island in the middle of the courtyard lake. Then after Sandhya Artik, They will perform Their Boating Pastimes accompanied by a lively kirtan and profuse distribution of mahaprasada. Then next day on Sunday afternoon, we will have a Maha Hari Nama Party with Sri Sri Gaura Nitai and Srila Prabhupada through the streets of the ancient city of Mathura. We will pass the famous Vishram Ghat, where 5000 years before, Krishna and Balaram rested after killing Kamsa and his wrestlers. 500 years ago, as soon as Mahaprabhu entered Braj, He took His bath at this holy place. Throughout the week-long festivities, there will be parikramas to the sacred places in Braj where Sri Sri Radha and Krishna have performed Their Transcendental Pastimes. 21st - 4:00PM Goswami Temples in Vrindavan 22nd - 9:30AM Goswami Temples in Vrindavan 23rd - 4:00PM Maha Hari Nama Sankirtan in Mathura 24th - 6:30AM Nandagram Parikrama 25th - 6:30AM Varsana Parikrama 26th - 5:000AM Giriraj Parikrama 27th - 6:30AM Radha Kunda and Shyama Kunda 28th - 6:30AM Ekadasi Vrindavan Parikrama 29th - 6:30AM Gokula Parikrama For accommodation in the Krishna Balaram Guesthouse contact Ganapati Prabhu ganapati.gkg@pamho.net ++90 565 2540022 For accommodation at MVT contact mvt@pamho.net ++90 565 2540050 For assistance getting accommodation elsewhere contact myself deena.bandhu.acbsp@pamho.net or Gopinatha Prabhu at ++90 565 2540343 In service of Sri Sri Krishna Balaram, Deena Bandhu dasa Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
