Dear Friends

 

The 2018 Durban Festival of Chariots is just 7 days away!

 

Lord Ramachandra Prayer

"O Kesava! O Lord of the universe! O Lord Hari, whose haze assumed the form of Ramacandra! All glories to You! In the battle of Lanka, You destroyed the ten-headed demon Ravana and distributed his heads as a delightful offering to the presiding deities of the ten directions, headed by Indira. This action was long desired by all of them, who were much harassed by this monster." Sri Dasavatara Stotram by Jayadeva Goswami.
