Gaura
Purnima festival
Sedro Woolley, Washington 2007  Hare Krsna Prabhus, family,friends, and associates...
Obeisances
All glories to Srial Prabhupada and Sri Caitanya
Mahaprabhu-definitely the most merciful Incarnation of the Lord.
Here we have some photos of our Gaura Purnima festival
held on Saturday March 3, Sedro Woolley, Washington.
Besides offering our Deities over 108
preparations, which included 58 kinds of burfy, Gulab Jamuns, Saffron
Sweet rice, some sweets and things others (like Noble
and Dana) brought, Gauranga Sak,and various delectable mouth
watering treats, Lord Gauranaga was treated to a play of His
own lila, arotik, abhisek, a short class on the teachings of Lord
Caitanya, and course ecstatic kirtan for all present. And then there
was the FEAST--
  The
play done/directed by Kanhaiya, his wife Noble and their
kids- Alisha Riya and Partha, and narrated by Dharmarupa
prabhu and Bhakta Bryant also had a part in it. This pastime is very
instructive because its one where little Nimai brings to his
brahmana home a street dog-unthinkable in those times and starts
playing with it. His mother (played by Noble) was upset because no self
respecting brahmana family would even think of having a dirty mutt in
their ashram. But this Nimai is not an ordinary child-He is the Supreme
Being playing out His pastimes. So as the story goes, his mother tricks
Him to go to the Ganges and take a bath and get clean, meanwhile she
gets rid of the dog. Later, that same dog is seen in Navadvipa standing
up on his legs and chanting Hare Krsna much to the surprise of the
local residents, as you could well imagine!! Soon later they watch the
dog leave his body and a celestical chariot (seen in the
photos) comes with demigods (Brahma, Siva etc) to fetch him back to the
spiritual world. So the moral of the story is of course if a
dog can do this, then so can we, and just see how merciful is this
Nimai pandit who liberates even dogs, what to speak of humans!
 After a short reading on the preface to Teachings of
Lord Caitanya book, we did abhisek for the Kaliya Krsna Deity and
Sudarshan Chakra maharaj salagram sila---giving Them
pancamrta and watching Them drip with these pure substances as
everybody present got to offer one or more of them thru the conch shell.
Then the grand finale was passing out party poppers
fireworks, those kind you can get at any party store , and to the
sounds of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu ki JAYA-- on
the third time-- everybody pulled their strings and POW-POW
POW-- confetti was all over the place! Then complete
pandemonium took place as we tried to serve out the feast in a
very crowded temple room--as usual, no pictures availabe of this one.
But we do have pictures of just about everything else. Then afterwards after the major part of the crowd left, a core group of devotees had some more kirtans--and THESE were the best of the entire evening---see the last photo as most of these devotees blissfully enjoying each others association with Krsna Caitanya, the Supreme Personality of Godhead... Hari Hari bol
your humble servants
Damaghosa /Daria--oh, I almost forgot--Daria, up late
the past few nights, also made a very beautiful outfit for
Gaura Nitai--Whew--am I glad I got THAT one in...
