In Celebration of the 7th Anniversary of Vrinda Kunda Temple Opening, we have made an ecstatic schedule of parikramas and festivals from Jan. 27 to Feb 14th. This is one of the best times of the year as the weather is very pleasant and it is not so hot like after Mayapur Festival. Last year one devotee told me that he never knew there was so nice weather in Vrindavan. Our festival ends on Feb. 14th so you have time to get to Gaura Mandal Parikram which begins on Feb.
17th!
Most of the parikramas will be from 2nd onwards. Those who are going to the other temple aniversary festivals on Nityananda Trayodasi and were wandering what to do until Mayapur Festival can take advantage of our festival Program.
Almost everyday we will be leaving in the morning from Krishna Balaram Mandir and visiting different places of the Divine Pastimes of Radha and Krishna and then returning for lunch, unless otherwise noted. One devotee has given a nice donation to cleanup Barsana, so on Feb 8th we’ll have a free trip to Barsana to pickup all the trash! The grand finale, our famous Sankirtan Procession around Nandagram with the ladies in front carrying waterpots with coconuts on top, Kalash Yatra, will be on Sunday Feb 14th. And that day will be totally free for everyone!
