Diwali Sunday Program

Today's Sunday program was very nice. I didn't stay all the way at the end as it got a little too crowded for me.I recorded most of the kirtan at the end.

The Deities were looking beautiful as always. Today i spent most of the day in Tulasi'sgreen house transplanting her. I still have a few more to go yet. I will not be taking care of her anymore after this week. I have to train Rashmin how to take care of her since I will be leaving soon. I have one more month left.

Anyway back to the Sunday program.I attended the 6pm Aarti. And then took a short break.I bought two new photo of Srila Prabhupada. I feel I don't have enough photos of him. So these two will be nice to take with me when I go back to the United States.
When i went back into the temple I discovered that my guru Maharaj and BhaktiVasudeva Swami Maharaj would be giving the lecture this evening. So I sat through the whole thing. I am always eager to hear my guru give lectures. He's the only one who can keep me awake lol. I try to be attentive though to other devotees. That can be a challenge sometimes. Both my maharaj and BhaktiVasudeva Maharaj explained about Diwali, and also about chanting rounds and performing kirtans. They also talked about the age of Kali Yuga.

Then after that the lights dimmed and we all chanted with Srila Prabhupada. It was a nice feeling surrounded by devotees and chanting. Lastly they led a fabulous kirtan at the end. It got too crowded for me at the end because I felt I was being pushed around too much with people making their way in the temple room so I left at the end. I spoke to maharaj for a few minutes also and told him I want to send a letter to my Cleveland devotee friends from me to be read to them. So I will send it with him. I really wish I could go to Cleveland but unfortunately I cannot. Krishna wishes me to remain here and then after that He is sending me to Los Angeles.

It was a nice Sunday. I was very quiet for most of the day. I've been pretty quiet lately. I just get into those moods where Im just quiet and stay in my own space. Sometimes I prefer it that way.
