We will send a second message on Friday with details of Srila Prabhupada’s Vyasa-puja (Monday, 18 August) celebration. One of the most exciting parts of the celebration is the bhoga (food) offering. Every year we try to offer more and more preparations. This year our leaders have set the goal of 4000 food offerings. And everyone can be a part of it. You can prepare sweets, biscuits, snacks, exotic rice dishes, subjis, savouries, cuisine from Italy, Mexico, the Mediterranean, Oriental, Continental, Mauritian, authentic Bengali and South Indian dishes, fresh fruit arrangements, ice cream, fresh fruit, vegetable juices, smoothies and milkshakes — all for the pleasure of Srila Prabhupada. For ideas and submission of your offerings please contact Sukumari Dasi 031 403 3328
As always, we look forward to seeing you and hope this finds you in the best spirits,
Your friends at Sri Sri Radha Radhanath Temple
