Last Friday's Gaura-Purnima festival attracted huge crowds of devotees eager celebrate Caitanya Mahaprabhu's Appearance. Devamrta Swami gave class, the kirtanas were sweet. Our priests (led by Bhanu Swami) offered Sri-Sri (Chota) Gaura-Nitai an abhiseka featuring seasonal fruit juices. A fire sacrifice was also performed for Mahaprabhu's pleasure. Finally, the queue to honour the Lord's prasadam snaked throughout the temple grounds. Thanks to everyone who took part! Here are Their Lordships' Gaura-Purnima darshans.
