Puri Parikrama - Service Opportunity

By Bhakti Purusott... on Wed, 2008-10-22 12:07.

For two years now ISKCON has been organizing a grand parikrama in Puri dhama. Last year over twenty-five hundred devotees attended. This year we are expecting more devotees than the previous year. Devotees will arrive in Puri on 15th November, visit the holy places in Puri dhama, hear Jagannatha and Gauranga pastimes and perform parikrama of Sri Kshetra on 18th November. Accommodation and Prasad are free for registered devotees. In another twenty days, parikrama will begin and extensive arrangements need to be done for facilitating the pilgrims. We request the devotees worldwide to help us serve the pilgrims better.

As this is the month of Kartika, I request devotees to take advantage of this opportunity to perform charity on this holy month and get unlimited spiritual benefits.
Skanda Purana glorifies the auspicious activities to be performed in Kartika. "Charity, yajna, austerity and japa performed in the month of Kartika bring a result, O best of brahmanas that will never be destroyed".

We thank all the donors who have sent their contributions for Sri Kshetra Parikrama.
