Hare Krsna,
Yesterday saw the auspicious disappearance day of Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakur, a great Acarya in the line of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu- The Brahma Madhva-Gaudiya sampradaya.
This was celebrated at the Sri Sri Nitai Gaura-Hari Temple, in Lenasia with His Holiness Bhakti Caitanya Swami Maharaja. Maharaja extolled the glories of Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakur in his talk, followed by a congregational pushpanjali ceremony and Maha Guru-puja. Maharaja then exploded the kirtana to the effect of an ecstatically dancing temple room of devotees and guests. The festival climaxed with a multi-course prasadam feast, that captivated the attention of all.
