Week Ahead 1-7 April 2021 – Lord Jagannath is Coming!

 Dear Friends

I am sad that we cannot be in each other’s company celebrating the glories of Jagannath, Baladev & Subhadra Devi, and Srila Prabhupada over the Easter weekend. I pray to Lord Jagannath to keep everyone safe and that soon we can all be on the streets pulling His chariot and bringing Him to Vrindavan or the festival site. Thanks to the Sri Sri Radha Radhanath Temple Festival Team (in affiliation with Food for Life) who wonderfully arranged Lord Jagannath’s mobile temple to tour parts of Durban and surrounding areas this weekend. Lord Jagannath, Baladev, and Subhadra Devi will give their darshan in the temple (SSRRT) from 8:30am before embarking on their tour. I look forward to Lord Jagannath’s darshan and His protection. Please let your family & friends know that they can come out and greet Lord Jagannath. Flower offerings will be provided and you may bring fruit offerings as well. Hare Krishna!

Your servant
