NEWS FROM CAMP GARUDA
SANKIRTAN SAFARI -
Devotees began assembling at 8:00 am on Sunday morning at Camp Garuda in Williston. Three trucks were loaded with books and pamphlets, drums and kartals, and plenty of Prasadam (vegetarian preparations first offered to Lord Krishna).
By 9:15 we were underway to the Ocala National Forest 2014 Rainbow Gathering. One hour out, somewhere near Oklawaha, we got lost. Baladev Prabhu used his GPS to get us back to road 464C and within a few miles we were near the Gathering.
Two guys with backpacks were hitchhiking in, so we pulled over and they jumped in the back of the truck. It had been raining hard the day before, and the sand roads were full of ruts and large holes filled with muck. Our young British guest in the back was giving the directions, he got us into the camp. At the greeting station we were told that the best place to set up would be over near Lake Mary.
Bhakta Jeff and Bhakta Daniel set up the serving table, and the Kirtan party began with mrdangas, African drum and kartals. Lalalita dasi led the Sankirtan back to the main camp to let them know our kitchen was open. We were soon surrounded by a hungry crowd of Rainbow brothers and sisters, the Kirtan and book distribution went on all day, over 300 plates of Prasad were served......it was wonderful.
Thank you everyone for your participation, and special thanks to Satyahit Prabhu and our friends at Krishna House, Gainesville, for donating the nicely prepared Prasadam.
COMING UP - Our next major event will be in April. The Levy County Fair has invited us again this year to set up our book table and Kirtan. This is a great preaching opportunity for all devotees so please plan to join us. Exact dates and time will be announced. Four days and over 8,000 guests expected this year. Haribol!
SUNDAY SERVICE - Help us expand our preaching for Srila Prabhupada, your ideas are welcome. This year we hope to double our outreach and book distribution. Join us every Sunday at noon for the offering, Aroti, Kirtan, Bhagavad-Gita class and a nice vegetarian feast. All Glories to Srila Prabhupada! Your servant, Cyavana Swami CAMP GARUDA, Williston Florida. (352)-528-5496.
