Pandharpur

World Holy Name day report

In Sri Dham Pandharpur all the devotees where preparing for this great event weeks before because the initiative was coming from here. H.H.Lokanath Swami H.H.janananda Goswami and H.G.Ekalavya Prabhu started this program a year ago so we have been constantly inspired throughout the whole period up to this wonderful day. We took out our Padaytra cart drawn by our two great bullocks Grey face and withy. Prabhupada was leading the procession which went through the streets of Pandharpur for hours at a stretch. We had the divine assiciation of there Lordships Sri Sri Gaura Nitai and two of our brahmacaris incarnated as Lord Siva and Lord Ganesh. Why they came along God know, but the dancing and chanting was going on for many hours and the people in Pandharpur could definitely understand that this was not an ordinary day on planet earth. We want to send our warm felt thanks to H.H.Lokanath Swami Maharaja, H.H. Janananda Goswami Maharaja and His Grace Ekalavya Prabhu and everyone else who helped inaugurated this wonderful event.

Thank you very much.

We are all ready for next year.

Hare Krishna

Your servant in ISKCON Pandharpur.
