Dear Friends,
You are warmly invited to the celebration of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu this weekend 14-17 March. Please share the attached posters containing all details of the festivities with friends and family. We are blessed to have His Holiness Devamrita Swami and His Grace Medhavi Prabhu here in KZN to celebrate Gaura Purnima with us.
Meditations on Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu:
“In the age of Kali, intelligent persons perform congregational chanting to worship the incarnation of Godhead who constantly sings the name of Krishna. Although His complexion is not blackish, He is Krishna Himself. He is accompanied by His associates, servants, weapons, and confidential companions.” Srimad Bhagavatam 11.5.32
“May the Supreme Lord who is known as the son of Sriamti Saci-devi be transcendentally situated in the innermost chambers of your heart. Resplendent with the radiance of molten gold, He has appeared in the Age of Kali by His causeless mercy to bestow what no incarnation has ever offered before: the most sublime and radiant mellow of devotional service…” Chaitanya-charitamrita Adi, 1.4
