Festival Announcements
Vrindaranya Dasi - August 20, 2004 11:29 pm
Everyone is cordially invited to the upcoming festivals of Baladeva Purnima (Sat-Sun, August 28-29), Krsna Janmastami and Srila Prabhupada’s Appearance Day (Sat-Tues., Sept. 4-7), and Radhastami (Tues., Sept. 21). The Janmastami celebrations will begin on Saturday, although Janmastami is on Monday, so that devotees who cannot attend on Monday due to work can take part in Janmastami lectures and kirtanas.
We would appreciate it if everyone would please RSVP as soon as possible so that we can make appropriate arrangements for the festivals.
We are pleased to announce that we are starting a Sponsor-A-Feast program in order to give devotees the chance to offer service to their Lordships and the assembled Vaisnavas on these important days.

In the spirit of Balarama's day I submit this picture I just found. How can one turn away from Balarama or Nitai. His face captures the whole world and his behavior charms the heart.

Again, who can resist?
