By Temple Staff<\/strong><\/p>\n Sri Jagannatha Mandir Kuala Lumpur\u2019s (SJMKL) November edition of its monthly patron thanks giving feast was hosted on Sunday,10th. The simple yet meaningful occasion represents SJMKL\u2019s gesture of heartfelt gratitude to all those who continue to support the temple\u2019s activities. Patrons are recognised and appreciated for their regular monthly contribution of Laxmi. No amount is too small. In fact, we have many young students who contribute part of their pocket money to this program. It is indeed heart-warming to learn that one so young is immersed in Krishna Consciousness and is voluntarily contributing part of their saved daily stipend.<\/p>\n The day\u2019s event unfolded as is the normal practise with Mangala Arati (5.15am) and Sri Tulasi Pooja (5.40am). In SJMKL, initiated devotees are particularly encouraged to attend the Mangala Arati at least once in a month. Devotees who participated in these two auspicious prayers stayed on to chant their personal rounds until 7.30am when the Sringara Arati (Deity greetings) commenced.<\/p>\n This was followed with Srila Prabhupada Gurupuja. It was around this time when more devotees started to arrive in numbers with their families. HG Kripa Sindhu Krishna Prabu led the kirtan and true to his contagious enthusiasm,was able to inspire and liven up the singing and dancing ,building up the congregation”s fervour in achieving enthusiastic kirtan .<\/p>\n Kirtan made everyone to feel completely at home in dancing and singing aloud for the pleasure of Their Lordships. Temple youth boys were playing musical instruments rhythmically and everyone were dancing in joy.<\/p>\n The day\u2019s Bhagavad Gita class in English was presented by HG Simhesvara Prabhu and the corresponding Tamil class was delivered by HG Shanti Vardhana Caitanya Prabhu.<\/p>\n Sunday 10th was also memorable as it coincided with the birthdays of HG Sri Gauranga Prabhu, HG Krishna Chandra Prabhu and HG Muralidhara Syam Prabhu. May Their Lordships bless them with longevity and continued seva for the pleasure of Sri Jagannatha. There was also a shiksha programme in which devotees received blessings and certificates in recognition of their continued spiritual progress.<\/p>\n HG Siddhi prabhu and his team prepared a delicious variety of dishes, the highlight of the Sunday Feast. Needless to say everyone enjoyed the prasadam.<\/p>\n It is indeed comforting to observe many devotees attending our Sunday programmes to receive Their Lordship\u2019s blessings. More importantly, it remains each and every devotee\u2019s responsibility to spread the word such that many more may avail themselves of Their Lordship\u2019s blessings and mercy. It would indeed be wonderful if each devotee family could commit to introducing and helping to nurture one new family into Krishna Consciousness. Sri Jagannatha Mandir’s Sunday event is an excellent opportunity to invite and serve them a sumptuous feast that is always wholesome and blessed. This way, the new and unfamiliar may soon build on their spiritual path. HDG AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabupada encouraged devotees to spread Krishna Consciousness via harinam, book distribution and the service of prasadam, amongst others. Our Temple will indeed grow in numbers and bring forth Krishna Consciousness in a much Bigger way through actively promoting temple’s Sunday Feasts.<\/p>\n
