On Saturday 15th August we celebrated Lord Krishna&#8217;s birth in Reading, Basingstoke, Newbury and Slough.<\/p>\n<p>Vishal Gauranga prabhu and his wife Amala Manjari are an inspiring couple, it was a simple plan, on line classes and videos and the distribution of delicious Prasad.<\/p>\n<p>Srila Prabhupada would say &#8220;it&#8217;s so simple that you&#8217;ll miss it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Pratapmaya Nitai prabhu used his skills at social media to organise this event.<\/p>\n<p>Prasad went out to the devotees, the isolated and vulnerable, NHS workers, the homeless and anyone needing some special mercy.<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Music and dance and distribution of prasadam are the main items of my Krishna Consciousness propagation, and they are acting so nicely.&#8221; SPL to Sumati Morarjee &#8212; Unknown Place 1969<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I am very happy to learn that you are rendering a nice service to Krishna by cooking for him and distributing prasadam to others. The association of devotees is the only solace for our existence.&#8221; SPL to Yadunandana &#8212; San Francisco 26 March, 1968<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Then at the ocean there was grand-scale Prasadam distribution and chanting again on into the evening. Everyone appreciated Krishna Consciousness so much, and it is so encouraging to see how the young boys and girls of the western countries are gradually coming to understand something of this movement.&#8221; SPL to Mukunda &#8212; Los Angeles 28 July, 1969<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Both Sri Dhama and Nandakisora are good administrators of Prasadam which is our peak medicine for driving away Maya; so I have all blessings for them. Let them chant Hare Krsna and distribute Prasada, and things will come very quickly.&#8221; SPL to Satsvarupa &#8212; Los Angeles 28 March, 1970<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I am so pleased to learn how the crowd gave their attention to your street play. This is transcendental entertainment. And to distribute Prasadam sumptuously to the crowd is strictly in our Vedic tradition.&#8221; SPL to Madhudvisa &#8212; Los Angeles 14 April, 1970<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/MhS4UeK.jpeg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/MhS4UeK.jpeg\" alt=\"\" \/><img src= \"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/3FWkqUN.jpeg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Prasad went out to the devotees, the isolated and vulnerable, NHS workers, the homeless and anyone needing some special mercy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[118],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-88485","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-recent-media"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dandavats.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/88485","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dandavats.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dandavats.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dandavats.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dandavats.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=88485"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.dandavats.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/88485\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":88487,"href":"https:\/\/www.dandavats.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/88485\/revisions\/88487"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dandavats.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=88485"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dandavats.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=88485"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dandavats.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=88485"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
