Dear Friends,
Please accept our best wishes. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. All glories to
our beautiful Sri Sri Radha Radhanath.
September is turning out to be not only the season of blossoming flowers but
also the season of blossoming devotion. On Monday we celebrated the fantastic
Vyasa puja ceremony for His Holiness Bhakti Charu Swami. Maharaj wanted to
bring Srila Prabhupada into focus. So, it turned out to be a festival
celebrating our Founder Acarya, His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami
Prabhupada, with grandeur and heartfelt emotion.
His Holiness Kadamba Kanana Swami is joining us tomorrow.

On Sunday we celebrate the divine appearance Srimati Radharani, the

writes in Srimad Bhagavatam 2.3.23, “Srimati Radharani is a tenderhearted
feminine counterpart of the supreme whole…”
The festival is an all day affair. We have the unique opportunity to see Her
divine lotus feet. The Deities will be be dressed in three new outfits through
the day, there will be an abhisek ceremony, boat festival and kirtan and
devotees, do not see the Lord with their eyes, but with their ears, so we have
wonderful classes lined up for you to fully absorb you and allow devotion to
