Keshava Prabhu, from Hare Krishna Valley (New Nandagram) in Bambra, Victoria, invited Devamrta Maharaja and I to the Radha Krishna boat festival at the farm.The previous day was hot and gusty but the weather turned more pleasant on Sunday and there were 300-400 guests who attended.
The day started with arati and kirtan at the temple, then everyone went in procession down the hill to the lake. There was a joyous mood as the devotees anticipated seeing Their Lordships, Sri Sri Radha Krishna in a beautifully decorated boat bestowing Their merciful darshana to all.
Once there, Their Lordships were offered a wonderful variety of preparations, which was followed by arati and kirtan. Devamrta Maharaja and I spoke about Radha and Krishna’s pastimes in Vrndavan, especially at Manasi Ganga and on the Yamuna. Afterwards, everyone enjoyed a sumptuous feast.
