After we had beautiful Janmastami festival on the day before, then we continue our program for Srila Prabhupada appearance day. We had decided to celebrate it in the village near our Yasodapura Eco Village.
Soon after we finish Guru Puja to Srila Prabhupada we took an hour journey to the village, On the way we passed Angkor Wat temple, and the magnanimous stone gate of Angkor Thom then Bayon Temple and the Elephant Terrace. Four of us rode two motorbikes, one with mridanga and harmonium and one with the pot full with sweet that we had prepared ifrom the ashram.
Program begun by short explanation about Prabhupada by Kumudaksa das Prabhu, and continued by Hare Krishna Chanting lead by Vishnuratha Prabhu. One mother was helping to distribute sweet while we were singing. Many other villagers came with their children because they were attracted by the sound of the chanting. All attendant are about 50 villagers in total include children.
We were so happy to make this celebration with them. Even though it was not a big thing, but by being with them, share some happiness in the form of sweetness of Krishna’s name, and the sweet of Krishna prasadasm, it was bringing us a moment beyond this material suffering and made us united in one families of the spirit being.
