Nanda-Tanuja suggested that I post all the dates for the festivals in August since there are many and devotees may want to make arrangements in advance.
Guru Maharaja decided that all the festivals will be on the actual dates. Everyone's welcome, just let us know in advance if you are coming.
RATHA YATRA: 4th–6th of August (FRI–SUN). the 6th day is the San Francisco Ratha Yatra, in which we will take part again.
BALADEVA PURNIMA: 9th of August (WED)
JANMASTAMI: 16th of August (WED)
PRABHUPADA'S APPEARANCE: 17th of August (THUR)
RADHASTAMI: 31th of August (THUR)
I forgot to mention that Guru Maharaja will be in North Carolina during the Baladeva Purnima.
So no weekend retreats for Janmastami or Radhastami? Too bad... I actually liked them A LOT. Maybe we can keep Radhastami? Please?

I will consider the Radhastami festival appeal. Very good.
But what about Guru Maharaja's coming to Finland? Do you have any iformations when it will be exactly or at least more or less?
Rama-Priya,
the retreat in Finland is going to be from the 3th of July to the 8th of July. The last day will be a public program in another island near Helsinki. I'm sure K & K will make a formal announcement about the program, as well
i'm arriving in SF on 28 july, just in time for all the festivities!
radhastami on a weekend would be great. I wish prabhupada's appearance fell on a weekend this year; that is my favourite holiday/festival.

Thanks a lot Gurunistha!
Yes, the retreat will start on Monday 3rd and continue until Saturday 8th when we'll all go to Helsinki for the public program with bhajans, Guru Maharaja's talk and prasadam. The program of the actual retreat will be pretty much like the previous year's: two daily classes, three aratis and lots of deep-fried food. At the moment the weather here is perfect: sunny and warm.
It would be great if you could come, Rama-priya! Please spread the word about the retreat among the Polish devotees and let me know if you need any help.
Thank You very much Krsangi. Yes, I will come with my mother. At the moment I don't know who else. Maybe someone will be able to come with as as well, I hope.
Y.s.
Ramapriya

Change that. Our Radhastami mahotsava will beging Thursday morning at 5:00 AM with mangala arati and continue through Saturday evening. All are welcome! Let us know when you will arrive.
I like this schedule. I will most likely come the night before and stay for a couple of days until Friday or Saturday. Jaya Sri Radhe!
