Gaura Purnima Festival 2016

G aura Purnima Festival has been very busy and ecstatic this year.

It all started with the festival inauguration March 5th and blissfully went on until Gaura Purnima day. Let’s not forget Jaganath Misra’s feast on 24th and 25th of March which provided a sumptuous feast for thousands of devotees and pilgrims who left completely satisfied.

For almost one month, Sri Mayapur Dham was flooded, but this time not by Mother Ganga but by Thousands and Thousands of spirit souls hoping to get some Mercy from the Lord. Ratha Yatra, Boat festival, Kirtan Mela, Mini Market, Huge International presentation displaying devotional activities done by devotees in their own country around the world, stage performances, daily feasts, and of course Parikrama and Lord Gauranga’s Abhishek. You can have a look of seven days of parikrama by clicking the following links : (Day-1)(Day-2)(Day-3)(Day-4)(Day-5)(Day-6)(Day-7)

There was so much to do, it was a daily dilemma to choose which activities to attend every day.

We also had most ecstatic Siva Ratri celebrated at in our ISKCON Rajapur Jaganath temple, elephant procession, Daily evening Kirtan , amazing inspiring lectures by our beloved gurus and so much more…

It seemed like a year of spiritual activities were compressed in one month!
