Don't get me wrong. I love home programs. And this one was particularly great. I loved it except toward the end where everyone was crammed into the small temple room downstairs in the house. But other than that it was a great program all around.
Three sanniyasis were there and my guru Maharaj Bhaktimarga Swami was one of them. My guru Maharaj led a fantastic kirtan as he always does. I love how he leads kirtan and his singing voice is great! Better than the karmi musicians I used to like. Now if I see any concert, I only want to see my guru Maharaj lead kirtan. He is my favorite and always will be.
Then the other two guru maharajs gave lectures. I really liked the one guru maharaj as he had a sense of humor as he told the stories about Krishna and the gopis. I liked him.I enjoyed the past times that the other two guru maharajs gave about Krishna. It was nectar to my ears. After that there were girls who danced on stage and a light drama about baby krishna. Then my guru Maharaj led kirtan again, and he led everyone downstairs to the temple room. However I could not stay for long because it was too small of a room with too many people in it. I felt too crammed and felt like i couldn't breath so I went outside to get some air. I tried to chant some rounds while I waited for everyone to come back up. I was feeling tired exhausted, and a bit upset. Maharaj then came up and saw me. He came over to me to check on me to see if I was okay. He knew I was exhausted and wanted to go back to the temple. He was so kind to me and gave me comfort. He is the only one who can calm me down when i get stressed out. He told me I didn't have to go to Mangal Aarti the next morning but I did anyway. I cannot bear going without seeing krishna first thing in the morning. Krishna is what keeps me going through out the day if i see Him first thing.
So today Im resting up a bit. Im in my room because i need a break from the crowds. I should be okay and recovered by tomorrow. but other than that the program was still nice. :)
