GOVINDAS ON THE MOVE.<br \/>\nTom Adams: New Govardhana resident Krsna Gana is well-known for his enthusiasm for prasadam distribution. Ten years ago, he began catering for Govindas and since then has been traveling all over Australia successfully serving prasadam, especially kofta balls. Indeed, in his own words, \u201ceverywhere we go, everyone loves kofta balls\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>A testament to their teamwork and dedication, Govinda\u2019s catering team regularly serves crowds of up to 90,000 people at festivals such as Adelaide\u2019s W.O.M.A.D and Canberra\u2019s National Folk Festival. A small alternative festival held in McKay even fought for Govindas to continue catering there.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey really love us there,\u201d Krsna Gana says, \u201cand they fought for us to be there.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Impressively, Govindas has been catering at some of these festivals for more than 14 years.<\/p>\n<p>The next upcoming catering event for Govindas will be a folk festival and an environmental day in Townsville. The crew will be leaving New Govardhana on the 23 May and, as usual, expect large crowds.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSome of the longest queues we\u2019ve had are in Townsville because entry is free to the Environmental Day,\u201d Krsna Gana explains, adding that he was invited last year to speak on stage about Krishna consciousness.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s all get around Krsna Gana and the crew and give them lots of love and support!<\/p>\n<p>In the photo: Govinda\u2019s catering team happily serving up a transcendental kofta storm at Canberra\u2019s National Folk Festival last month:<br \/>\n(from L-R: Hamish, Sean, Nitai, Krsna Gana dasa, Jack and Sundar Nitai dasa)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/66.media.tumblr.com\/c1082d07040447ac154f5066a95fcab9\/tumblr_psmc78kH0l1sbj0vuo1_500.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>KOFTA BALLS!
