Spanish-speaking devotees around the world attend the retreat virtually
With everyone in self-isolation and practicing social distancing due to the Coronavirus Pandemic, devotees are coming up with more and more creative ways to associate with each other and hold events virtually that would previously have taken place in person.
On April 18th, over 100 Spanish-speaking devotees from Argentina, Uruguay, Peru, Chile, Brazil, Bolivia, the United States, Italy, Spain, Mexico and Colombia attended a full-day online Bhakti Retreat on Zoom.
The retreat was offered entirely in Spanish, with Mexican devotee Rasika Dasi translating the English-speaking presenters. Husband-and-wife team Prema Rupa Madhava Das and Prema Rupini Madhavi Dasi from Buenos Aires organized, with help from Kanakangi Padma Dasi and Kishora Shyam Das.
“Using the Zoom platform made it very personal, because everyone had their own camera, and could see all the other participants,” says Prema Rupa Madhava. “It was also interactive, with each presenter leaving space for questions.”
