Sri Sri Radha Ksirchor Gopinatha! New Remuna Dham ki Jai!
Here is an upload of a few pictures from the very special midnight darshan of Sri Sri Radha Gopinatha in Their Janmastami flower outfit.

Just catching up on filing pictures and postings :-)
Hare Krishna! We are back on line after being quiet for over a week. Thanks for the messages and queries. It is indeed heart warming to see vaishnavas concerned for each other and also to know devotees are reading this blog...
Actually we have been quiet due to being so busy with Krishna Consciousness. Srila Prabhupada has given us the good fortune to have festival after festival complete with devotional service and thus blogging had to take a back seat. Of course we had Sri Krishna Janmastami and followed by Srila Prabhupada's vyasa-puja and if that was not enough we threw a grand festival at our home for Sri Sri Radha Shyamasundar where we had the oppurtunity to serve hundreds upon hundreds of devotees as well as 3 ISKCON sanyasis for the pleasure of Their Lordships. So there is a lot to catch up on in the next few posts...
The presiding deities of Toronto are Sri Sri Radha Ksirachor Gopinatha and every year we humbly serve Them by offering Them a flower dress for midnight. It is not only an annual tradition but service we love to do since we are focused on Gopinatha throughout the day...from leaving for the flower shop at 6am to picking up the crew and making the dress through the afternoon and finally dressing Radha Gopinatha in the late evening in time for His revealing to ecstatic devotees in the thousands at midnight chanting the Maha mantra in unison.
Jaya Sri Sri Radha Gopinatha. Hope the entire family of worldwide devotees had a very happy Janmastami...
