All glories to Srila Prabhupada! <\/p>\n<p>We were blessed with the facility to celebrate Diwali\/ Govardhana Puja on Sat, Nov 10. I was invited by the Indian contract workers to come and give a short class. I had no idea what to expect, as I walked into a old airplane hanger, I was met with HARE KRSNA! And to my surprise there were 150 people waiting, eager for some taste of Krsna Katha. While, the preparations were not extravagant , the love and thought behind the event brought a tear to my eye. As I chanted Jaya Radha Madhava, I looked around and saw everyone in deep mediatation, and when the Maha Mantra was sung, I could see the love explode from their hearts. At the end of the class, I gave out over<br \/>\n150 of Srila Prabhupada&#8217;s books to hungry souls!<\/p>\n<p>There are some pictures of the festival, please continue to pray for us, that we can make a difference in someone&#8217;s life here and bring them to te lotus feet of Srila Prabhupada!<\/p>\n<p><img src='http:\/\/www.dandavats.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/PICT33dw09.jpg' alt='' \/><br \/>\n<img src='http:\/\/www.dandavats.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/PICT3cssc319.jpg' alt='' \/>\u00f9<br \/>\n<img src='http:\/\/www.dandavats.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/PICT33scsc29.jpg' alt='' \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.dandavats.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/pict3sccssc328.jpg\" alt=\"Hare Krishna\" \/><strong>By Partha sarathi dasa<\/strong><\/p>\n<p> I had no idea what to expect, as I walked into a old airplane hanger, I was met with HARE KRSNA!
