April 25, 2012

Brajamohini Didi called this wonderful afternoon nagarsankirtan outing in Santa Cruz “The icing on the cake.” This whole week was wonderful; everyone was inspired to have Srila Ashram Maharaj’s good association and blessings at the Sunday Feast, pizza party, bhakti yoga club, and other programs. Now on his last day fifteen people from our community in Santa Cruz and San Jose joined Srila Ashram Maharaj on Pacific Avenue to chant “Hare Krishna Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna Hare Hare, Hare Rama Hare Rama, Rama Rama Hare Hare.”

The group wound its way through the weekly farmer’s market and came out of it with five happy guests. They followed our group for the next hour, chanting and dancing all the way.

Our three day camp teaches kids the practices of Krishna Consciousness by engaging them in play, cooking, hiking, and music. Qualified members of our community teach the kids songs, traditional instruments, stories, and more. Some families camp out in tents overnight, while others come only during the daytime. The more kids attend the merrier. If you are interested in participating, please consider bringing your child to our kid’s classes every other week. For more information please call us.
