Sunnyvale Janmastmi Huge Success!

[PADA: This is really great! More and more people want the original process of worship of Srila Prabhupada. The temple was so crowded -- hundreds of people were lined up outside so they could go around to get a darshan of the deity. Lots of nice people, tons of happy kids, lots of prasadam, nice singing, very ecstatic! 

No wonder there has to be a bigger place built, more and more people want Krishna! This is what happens when the acharya is placed in the center of the process. ys pd] 

Hare Krishna,

We had wonderful Sri Krishna Janmashtami celebrations on Sunday, August 17th and we would like to thank you all for making it a grand success. We would like to especially thank all the wonderful volunteers who made this festival possible. Their tireless service before, during and after the festival must have surely attracted Sri Sri Krishna Balarama's mercy upon them.

Following are some of the festival highlights:
  1. At least 5,500 - 6,000 plates of prasadam feast was served through the day!
  2. Hundreds of devotees participated in Grand Abhisheka of Sri Sri Radha Gokula Krishna.
  3. Their Lordships Sri Sri Radha Gokula Krishna went around the temple in a pallaki along with lots of devotees singing and dancing.
  4. Thousands of devotees got a chance to swing the Jhulan of Sri Sri Radha Gokula Krishna until mid-night.
  5. Grand mid-night Arati was performed to the delight of the hugely enthusiastic assembled devotees pervading the entire temple hall.
  6. Lots of children had fun in the Kids Mela.
We would love to hear from you and get your feedback on the Festival so that we can make it even better next year. Please take few moments and fill the feedback form:https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1q1BpwtlPsPu8_tuHYO3GZ0un7oUB4oUabYlWiCgI9ZM/viewform
