More Swing Festival Nectar



Once a year Chota Radha-Krishna come from Their altar into the darshan hall to invite Their devotees to swing Them! In India this is the hottest time of the year, and relief from the heat can only be given by the breezes created as Sri-Sri Radha-Krishna swing. Have you swung Them yet? 

While the Deities remaining on the altar are offered 7pm. arati, crowds of vaisnavas take turns to increase Their Lordships' enjoyment of Their blissful swing pastime, all the while singing Their glories. Tonight and tomorrow night are your last chances until next year. Don't miss out!
