The most incredible, sublime, totally transcendental Yamuna Boat Fest for Radhe Syama (Album of photos)
Mahadevi Dasi: 15plus boats filled with wonderful devotees, gliding across the Yamuna as Vrndavana sun is going down. Devotees were so excited to glorify Radhe Syama in Their Boating Pastimes.
We waded onto shore where we sat on the sandy bank of Yamuna, singing and smiling swaying and praying and gazing and glorifying at the most beautiful Radhe Syama going around and round in Their Swan Boat. All glories to the Swan Boat makers!
Pujaris offering Them sooooooo many preps and flowers and I got to bring a box of fragrant Tulasi Manjaris that I had picked hrs before…
Vaiyasaki Das prabhu was leading a magnificent Kirtan, then HH BB Govinda Swami taking our consciousness higher and higher…
Beautiful gorgeous Radhe Syama, with Syama’s lotus face leaning into to hear from His Radha, while Their blissed out devotees singing and swaying and wading in Yamuna all around Them.
Like a colorful, prayerful mala of happy devotees all around Their Swan Boat.
A soft light show illuminated Radhe Syama as They floated around Yamuna, enjoying fireworks in the sweet breezes of Yamuna, which filled everyone with Absolute JOY!
Everyone deliriously happy….with chanting Hare Krsna and feeling so grateful for what Srila Prabhupada has so kindly given us.
TTHEENNNN… thunder, lightning, rain is falling too…Radhe Syama’s Swan Carrier swimming away to protect Them…devotees still singing, scrambling for the waiting boats.
TTHHEENNN the rain came pouring down as we were going across Yamuna. INCREDIBLE SOUNDS of RADHEEEEEEE SYAMA from all the devotees in the boats…a bit scary, exhilarating, exciting, adventure on Yamuna….like Krsna rocking the boat and we were all forced to cry out RADHEEEEE SYAMAAAA….
KKRRSNNAA SAVE USSSSS!
Deena Bandhu sitting calmly at the helm, while our rocking boat almost tipped over into the swirling twirling Yamunaa!!!!

Laughing, chanting, rain coming down, I felt like a young girl hobbling up to a waiting car..
And THHEENNN rain started to stop….hAhAhA
