In Melbourne Mahaprabhu Mandir, the rooms where the Deities' clothes and paraphernalia (arati trays etc.) are prepared for Their worship are considered as good as the altar room itself. The devotees who are fortunate enough to render service there experience how Radha-Vallabaha attract their hearts, draw them closer to Their service, and finally reciprocate with Their servants' surrender. Nevertheless, Their sevaites have also experienced the austerity of working in an old and worn out facility. 

Last week a crew of vaisnavas - assisted by generous devotee tradesmen - refurbished the 'wetside' parapernalia room. Waterproof flooring has replaced old wooden boards; stainless steel cupboards and benches have replaced battered timber cupboards. The new facility is well lit, easily cleaned, and well on the way to completion.

Sri-Sri Radha-Vallabha sevanam ki jaya!
