Please celebrate the month supporting Diwali - Damodara Masa - with us beginning tomorrow week. By offering prayers and lights to Lord Sri Damodara you will surely receive His very special mercy.

Publishing the Diwali edition of FOLK magazine has been delayed. However we hope it will arrive in devotees' mail the week of October 21st. Here is part of Aniruddha Prabhu's editorial.

Diwali-www '...just like last year we've had a very successful Janmastami festival season. This year's Janmastami was the largest crowd we've ever had at the temple. According to all accounts it was a well organised and immensely enjoyable festival. I'd like to thank all those who helped organise and serve on the day. Its not easy to fast all day and stick to your posts. With Krsna's mercy we managed to pull it off. Thanks to all who helped make Janmastami a success. If you have any ideas on how to improve the festival please email your suggestions to me, aniruddha@pamho.net.

As we head towards the business end of the year we'd like you to be aware of events just around the corner. The next major events this year are Diwali and Govardhana Puja, which we celebrate on a Friday and Saturday this year.

Govardhana Puja is one of our most popular celebrations. Since it is very much a participatory event with a very long kirtana it ranks as a favourite for those who like to chant and dance for a long time. Keep an eye out Gov-Puj-www for these occasions on the 31st of October and the 1st of November...'

The festival programs are as follows:

We will celebrate Diwali on Friday October 31st. You can have arati trays offered to Sri-Sri-Sri Sita-Rama-Laksmana and Hanuman from 5pm till 9pm. You can also join us at 7pm for a beautiful candlelit arati and offer lamps to the presiding Deities.

Govardhan Puja will be celebrated on Saturday November 1st. Following arati and kirtan at 4:30pm, we will circumambulate Lord Giriraja atop his mountain of sweet bhoga. At 6pm. we will serve feast prasadam; then at 7pm we will offer arati and present lamps to Lord Sri Damodara.

Our Founder-Acarya Srila Prabhupada's Disappearance Day falls on Sunday November 2nd. At 12:30pm we will offer arati and Guru Puja, and at 1pm. serve his prasadam feast. At 6pm in the evening we will read from
Ppada-www Prabhupada-lilamrta in his room. This will be followed at 7pm by an offering of arati to His Divine Grace.

Please bless us with your association.
