Hare Krsna-Today at Sri Sri Gaura Nitai Mandir, devotees from here, Canada, and Calif all came together for celebrating  Lord Balaram’s Appearance day and the second  or brahmana initiation of Vidura Mahatma das.

We had very colorful decorating displays from Jagannatha Puri area, Salagram  and Govardhana Silas, Lord Narasimhadev and Lord Vamanadev and of course Lord VIshnu Himself in the form of the fire yajna.
And what a feast !!!! Way too much for ordinary humans to honor, only Krsna can eat so much Prasadam !!
All in all, a wonderful time, as one devotee brought about 15 gallons of apples for feeding the cows across the road, very nice kirtans throughout, and the day was capped off  for some of us, by chasing that nasty herd of Elk out of our field area, away from Govindas gardens, and into the adjoining woods-where I would like to see them stay !!
