Gaura Purnima Festival 2007

Dear Maharajas and Prabhus:

Please accept our humble obeisances, All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

On behalf of Sri Krsna Balrama Mandir, we cordially invite one and all to our Vrndavana annual Gaura Purnima festival this year.

We will have a series of lectures on various topics regarding the most magnanimous Lord, Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu from 28th of February to 3rd of March by the movement’s leading Senior devotees.

Also, this year we have a scheduled parikrama to be guided by HH Mahanidhi Swami, HH Radha Raman Maharaja, HG Deena Bandhu Prabhu and other Senior devotees for all the visiting devotees from 7th - 13th of March except on the 10th, on which we will be celebrating the world famous transcendental boat festival for the pleasure of Sri Sri Radha Shyamasundar.

Srila Prabhupada has made this program of coming to Vrndavana after the annual Gaura purnima festival in Mayapura during his earthly lila - to make your “spiritual battery” fully recharged before going back to your individual places of seva.

Please give us your association and become enliven from the holy land of Sri Vrndavana dham.

Thank you. Hare Krsna…

May this reach you all well, safe and happily engage in Krsna consciousness.

Your servant,
Janardana dasa
Vice President
