Gaura Purnima! The deities Installation Anniversary

Been a while since I've posted on here. A year of service to Radha Madan Mohan has already gone by. Some pictures of yesterdays festival....

Sri Sri Radha Madan Mohan Simple Srinagar Darshan

Dol Yatra/Holi Darshan of Sr Radha Madan Mohan

The festival took a lot of preparation and and a sleepless night which tends to be my trend when it comes to festivals, lots of last minute adjustments with outfits etc. This festival saw Radha Madan Mohan being offered two new outfits. One for the Holi scene and another at Sandhya Arati. In the end I am grateful i have the opportunity to serve Radha and Krishna in Their deity forms and seeing Their forms decorated nicely bring me great pleasure.

Back after a long while....

I seem to have neglected my blog for a while. Was a bit occupied. Well there seems to have been a lot activity since my last posts. The most significant in terms of Radha Madan Mohan is that they finally have their first altar after much deliberation and seeking people to make an altar as simple as it seems. It was finally done and I'm quiete relieved that the deities now have an altar.

Janmastami and other festivals are around the corner which is exciting and also means a lot of preparation and work in terms of getting outfits ready.

Here are some Darshan pics from the past two weeks.

Janmastami



Madana-Mohan

 Its been a while since I last posted. A lot has happened since my last post. For one, I've had lotus bases made for the deities. Which had a little drama to it as most things seem to go. Here is the janmastami night Darshan of Radha Madan Mohan.

Aisi Kripa Karo Sri Radhe

aisi kripa karo sri radhe dijo vrindavana ko vasa

Please be merciful, Sri Radhe. Grant me residence in Vrindavana and the association of Sri Hari´s devotees.

If hungry, I will beg morsels of food from the Vrajavasis. If thirsty, I will drink the water of the Yamuna, and I will reside at Nidhuvana.

I will do parikrama of Govardhana, bathe in Manasi-ganga with great love, and eternally relish the waters
of both Radha-kunda and Krishna-kunda.

By going to Nandagrama and Varsana I will obtain the darsana of Radhaji. I will do parikrama of the Gahavara forest, and at Dana-kuti and Mana-kuti I will witness the rasa-lila.

By going to Nanda Baba´s house, I will obtain darsana of Baladeva. I will bathe in Pavana-sarovara with loving devotion, and by obtaining the darsana of Banke-bihari all my aspirations will be fulfilled.

Exam week...

So its a new week and not much has changed I still have quiete a bit of studying to do. I couldnt help but put together another outfit for the deities even though I am sort of pressed for time. 'Just an hour or two it may take< something simple" I thought, i proved myself wrong invariably. Well the outcome was good and worth the sacrifice i guess. Heres some darshan pics of Radha Madan Mohan.
