Dear Devotees of the Bay Area Sanga,

Please accept my dandavat pranams. All glories to Sri Sri Guru & Gauranga! All glories to Sri Sri Radha Govinda!
 
The biggest festival of the year is just around the corner - JANMASTAMI - on Monday in Walnut Creek. Sri Krsna is our beloved istha-deva. His appearance day is so auspicious. All the stars align to create a favorable atmosphere. Springtime appears, blooming flowers, music and showering of flowers by the demigods. Come and experience it all with lots of devotee association.
 
The following morning we will have a dramatic reading from Gopal Campu about the Nandotsava celebration in Gokul Mahavan when all the residents of Vraja come to know about the birth of Krsna and engage in an amazing celebration. Then in the evening at the home of Vishvambhara Prabhu, Gauravani dd and family in Orinda there will be a celebration for Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada's appearance day starting at 4PM. Come and join in!

“Everybody has a desire for their own happiness, their own pleasure. If somebody has less desire for his own happiness and pleasure, then we can say that he is a mahat, a great personality. But one who is completely forgetful, completely indifferent to his own happiness, is su-mahat, a very great personality. And those who are giving pleasure and enjoyment and happiness to Krishna at the cost of their own pleasure and happiness, are param-mahan, supremely great, incomparable, and all-worshipable. They are the gopīs.”
