What a busy month this was! Purusottama Adika Masa (the very auspicious extra lunar month which comes once every three years) brought unprecedented crowds. Even at midday under the scorching sun, there was no diminishing of the throngs of pilgrims doing parikrama around Govardhana and Radha Kunda. And then to top off the joyous madness, the month ended with Guru Purnima, Govardhan’s biggest parikrama day of the year. With your support, we were able to distribute thousands of bowls of prasada to hungry pilgrims in the days leading up to Guru Purnima, and especially on Guru Purnima day. On that day, we distributed 100kgs of sweet Bhoondi prasadam which was hugely popular amongst the crowds. We are happy to report that we finally received a shipment of the high quality acrylic latex paint we had been trying to obtain for months. Painting of the walls at Sakhi Kunda is well underway and we plan to paint other areas as well. We are hopeful that this type of paint will stand the test of time, inclement weather, and salty plaster.
