This year Gaur Purnima Festival will be a little different, for the first 4 days the focus is on re-learning to chant from our hearts, a four day Kirtan Mela with the world’s best kirtaniyas headed by Sacinandana swami and Madhava prabhu. You can find more details on this particular aspect of the festival at KirtanMela.org http://kirtanmela.org/
Another new aspect is that on top of having free prasad for festival participants, there will also be free camping facilities (toilets, showers, lights, security and lockers for valuables) and almost free dormitory accommodations also with lockers.
Please come and if cannot come join us on Mayapur. TV http://mayapur.tv/ as Mayapur.TV is planning to even take the cameras on parikrama!
