Long weekend

Sep 30th 2012

Had a blissful Smrti Radhashtami this weekend.VNp & BMp came all the way from Bangalore to give us association. Its so inspiring to see such devotees, who take so much austerity to please Gurumaharaj. Lot of new people were there and they enjoyed the programme as well. We had abhishek for our Gaura Nitai. Wish we organise such abhishek in a much proper way though. There were quite a lot of mess.

We had a very simple but super tasty prasadam(kichadi, fryams and sweet rice). Gpp made 3 layered cake for Radharani. He is becoming expert.The house where we conducted the programme was pretty small & we were anxious as to how we can accomodate 85+ crowd. Later We realized how Radharani expanded such a small house and had all the 85+ devotees.It was around 12 midnight when We went to take rest. We dont have any bigger programs lining up in near future. I'm meditating that this period should be used to help the members qualitatively grow more closer to Gurumaharaj and I do the do's that I wrote before.

Oct 1

VNp mercifully stayed with us for altar opening program, which we had planned on Oct 2, and extended his stay till end of the day on request. I didn't want to miss his association and took off.He has so much ideas and Im admiring the way he is handling the situation. So much to learn from him. Realised its so very difficult to complete rounds if we miss it in the morning.This was not a new thing but still I keep repeating the same mistake. We purchased the required ingredients for the next day program. As always I missed the basic items in all the 3 bhoga which we planned :(

Oct 2nd

After a real long wait Rajapur JBS,ND and Gaura Nitai got into their new house on Oct 2nd. We had handful of devotees who had come for Altar opening. We had a sweet kirtan and vnp gave a short class on Kaliyuga and how powerful mahamantra is. He had a very interactive session with members to know their concerns. He put things so nicely on how everything is working under Gurumaharaj's "Love and Trust" concept and that all of us belong to "Krsna kutumpa". We made Simply wonderful, malaysian kurma and corn pulav. All came well by Radharani's mercy and vnp's careful cooking.

Well, right now doing arati and cleaning the new altar is super exciting.
