Today 20th April 2013 ISKCON Vrindavan, Sri Sri Krishna Balarama Temple anniversary and Rama Navami festivals are enthusiastically celebrated. To get the blessings of Their Lordships, today’s Mangal Aratik was fully packed up and the very sweet melodious Vibhavari sesa and Hare Krishna Mahamantra kirtan accompanied by the sweet smiles of Their Lordships went deep into the hearts of everyone. Everyone was enthusiastic in Chanting, dancing and meditating on Lord Rama. Simultaneously everyone was remembering the unique mercy of the Lord exhibited by Srila Prabhupada as a gift for the whole world “Sri Sri Krishna Balaram Temple”. The whole Temple was gorgeously decorated with flowers and all three alter were very artistically decorated with fruits and flowers.
10:30 am: Simultaneous Abhisekha started in all the three Altars with ecstatic Kirtan during which everyone experienced the Spiritual World.
A Message from Srila Prabhupada: “Tomorrow is Sri Rama-navami. The tapasya will be that all the devotees will observe fasting from morning till evening. This is called tapasya. Just like Ekadasi day-there is no eating sumptuously. Simply you take little fruits and flowers. Try to avoid that also. You don’t take even water. That is really Ekadasi. But because we cannot do it-in the Kali-yuga the time is different-therefore we are allowed to take little fruit and milk, which is called anukalpa.” Pandal lecture, Bombay, April 7, 1971.
