This year Sripad Sarvabhavana Prabhu led the Sri Gaura Purnima festivities. After singing many vaishnava songs all together in the temple room, while the kitchen crew worked hard and the children prepared their costumes, he summarized Lord Chaitanya’s pastimes very nicely and then read from Sri Chaitanya Charitamrita about the Lord’s appearance lila.

Many old friends and several new guests joined us for this happy festival. Now that it has come and gone we still feel invigorated and inspired to go on chanting and dive a little deeper into spiritual life.
