On Friday March 21 the Murari Sevaka Farm devotees honored the appearance of Sri Krsna Caitanya Mahaprabhu with a beautiful fire sacrifice immediately following Mangal Arotik. The yajna was performed very expertly by our Brahmana Rama Vigrahas Das. As you can see in the photos, the yajna was very blessed. At moonrise the devotees broke their fast with a prasadam feast.
On Saturday March 22 there was a festival in honor of the appearance day of Sri Krsna Caitanya Mahaprabhu. About 100 area devotees came to help celebrate. This occasion was marked by an Abhishek of the large deity of Sri Krsna Caitanya.
