Tent programmes "Festival of Devotion"

The tent programmes and other preaching activities
have started i must say very successfully.In Pietermaritzburg
we had programmes for 3 day`s and also we had to deal with
the rain,in spite of all that we managed to deliver the
message of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu and also spread the Holy
Names.Everone in the tent were clapping their hands and singing
along to the very sweet Bhajans of Sudevi and Kishori Mohan prabhu.

On the last day in Pietermaritzburg we had the most number of
attendees.The last day was Ekadasi,which made it more special
and auspicious,Sripad Damodara Maharaja and Ashram Maharaja`s
led the preaching efforts,and all were listening with rapt attention.

The following week we were in Tongaat,It rained throughout the day
and night and the ground became soaked and to make matters worse
there was no power this is all from a material point of view,the
spiritual side was a grand success.One devotees from Iskcon Deva
Deva prabhu who leads the Tongaat Nama Hatta and his wife attended.
They were so happy and excited about our programmes there ,they actually
took out photgraphs and his wife also with her cell phone was recording
the lecture that Sripad Damodara Maharaja was giving,this really
made us happy that our brothers and sister from another Gaudiya
Vaishnava family came and gave us support and appreciated so much
Maharaja`s lecture.

Then on the 8th December we had a tent programme in Greytown.
Greytown is about an hour`s drive from Pietermaritzburg.
Keshore prabhu actually arranged both the Tongaat and Greytown
programmes,he actually put the tents up on his own and also supplied
the sound and prasadam.In Greytown we had a full house and so many
people enjoyed the Bhajanas by Kishori Mohan and Sudevi didi.

This weekend we will conduct the tent programme in Phoenix,
north of Durban with the second largest Indian population
in South Africa.I`ll let you all know what happens after
this programme.
