Vyasa Puja Celebration 2018 Radhadesh - A reunion of disciples - 7-9 December 2018

[Raya]

Dear brothers and sisters,

Please accept my respectful obeisances, all glories to Sr Guru & Sri Gauranga, all glories to Srila Prabhupada!

Lately a strong desire arose in my heart to have your precious association once again, preferably at a moment where we have a common focus. I often think back at the Vyasa Puja's we had around 2011/2012. The spirit I found there was priceless....

Last weekend during the Radhadesh Mellows I discussed the idea of celebrating Gurumaharaj's Vyasa Puja in Radhadesh with HG Jahnavi Jivana dd and with Krishna Lila prabhu (Lalita Sakhi's husband....or Hridaya Caitanya prabhu's son in law...as you like😉). They liked the idea very much, which inspired me to block the conference room in Radhadesh (the place where we celebrated the Vyasa Puja sevaral times before) for the weekend directly after Gurumaharja's birthday (according to western calendar).

I really REALLY hope you can all come for the Vyasa Puja. I understand you all have your obligations and some live far away, therefore I sent this email well in advance. So if you're planning to come, you would have sufficient time to plan accordingly.

The dates & rough outline of the program are:

• Friday 7th of December: arrival of devotees; 19.30-20.15 hrs. Thee & Cake in Srila Prabhupada's museum & afterwards straight into the evening bhajans 

• Saturday 8th of December: Vyasa Puja celebration from 16.00 - 19.00 hrs: Bhajans, Video Lecture, Offerings & Realizations, Puspanjali + Gurvastakam, Arati, Kirtan, Offering Bhoga & Prasadam + sharing time together afterwards.

• Sunday 9th of December: 9.30 - 14.00 hrs. cooking & serving the Sunday feast together as an offering to the Radhadesh community. Afterwards we'll take the Sunday feast together and end the weekend.

   

You're ideas to add to the program are very much welcome!!!!

Please let me know how you feel about the idea and if you would like to come!

P.s. 1: Manu prabhu told me that the guesthouse/retreat center is hardly booked so far in this weekend....the gods are with us😉. For reservations, you can contact Manu  on: retreat...@radhadesh.com or +32 (0)86 38 71 31 or contact Laksmi Priya  

P.s.2: The emaiI was sent to the Benelux Disciples group + Krishna Lila, Lalita Sakhi, Jahnavi Jivana & Sabrina Marais from France.

Your brother and aspiring servant,

Raya Ramananda dasa

Hare Krsna everyone,

Pranams and dandavats to you all.

Yes, nowadays, so many things on the agenda, so is good to plan in advance. 

Recently i saw the younger generation of the Shelke family eating prasadam together all sitting in one line (youngest was 3, i think). Ecstatic too watch. So, yes, any family, together on different levels, is always enlivening, even just to look forward to that. I may not make it on Friday, but it should be no problem for the weekend, Krsna and Gurumaharaja willing.

Dear brothers and sisters,

Please accept my respectful obeisances, all glories to Sr Guru & Sri Gauranga, all glories to Srila Prabhupada!

We hope all is well is with all of you! 

Early February this year we sent an email in regard to the celebration of the Vyasa Puja of our dear Gurumaharaj. After speaking to several devotees last few weeks we decided to move the celebration to the end of the month - in between Christmas & New Year - which made it easier for some devotees to come.

 

We still really REALLY hope you can all come for the Vyasa Puja and make the endeavor in order to have each others association and blissfully serve together for a weekend!

The dates & rough outline of the program are:

• Friday 28th of December: arrival of devotees; 19.30-20.15 hrs. Thee & Cake in Srila Prabhupada's museum & afterwards straight into the evening bhajans 

• Saturday 29th of December: Vyasa Puja celebration from 16.00 - 19.00 hrs: Bhajans, Video Lecture, Offerings & Realizations, Puspanjali + Gurvastakam, Arati, Kirtan, Offering Bhoga & Prasadam + sharing time together afterwards.

If a good number of devotees indicate that they'll come, we can extend the program on Sunday with the following: 

• Sunday 30th of December: 9.30 - 14.00 hrs. cooking & serving the Sunday feast together as an offering to the Radhadesh community. Afterwards we'll take the Sunday feast together and end the weekend.

   

Please let us know if you would like to come and your ideas to add to the program are very much welcome!!!!  Can't wait to be (re)united with all of you!

P.s. 1: For room reservations, you can contact Laksmipriya dd: bls.o...@gmail.com or Manu  on: retreat...@radhadesh.com   

P.s. 2: If you have any question which requires immediate reply, please contact Laksmi Priya, since I'll be leaving for the Puri Yatra tomorrow morning and have limited access to email (at least I aim  to focus and listen to Gurumaharaj;) - with your blessings though)

Your sisters and brother from Radhadesh,

Laksmi Priya dd, Sri Sundari dd & Raya Ramananda dasa 

[Ali Santens]

Hare Krsna dear god brothers and sisters,

Please accept our humble obeisances. All glories to Sri Guru and Sri Gauranga. All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

Great to hear. Count our family in. We will arrive Saturday early and stay at the retreat centre. Sri Rangavati will bring srikhand. Hope also to be there at the end of Kartik. See you all soon.

Your servants,

Taruni, Rangavati and Acyuta
