ISKCON Mayapur Communications has released a colorful and inspiring newsletter highlighting the month-long celebration of the Aṣṭa-Sakhīs’ Appearance Days, observed during the auspicious month of Dāmodara and concluding on Rāma Ekādaśī. The festival honored the Aṣṭa-Sakhīs (“eight friends”)—the eight principal gopīs who are the eternal maidservants and closest companions of Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī. Throughout the month, the Mayapur community united in creative offerings, devotional performances, and heartfelt service in glorification of Śrī Śrī Rādhā-Mādhava.
The celebration reflected not only the beauty of the Aṣṭa-Sakhīs’ devotion but also the dedication of the devotees who brought the event to life. Readers are invited to explore the full account and photographs of this inspiring festival by clicking on the .pdf here.
