The beautiful Vyasasan for Srila Gurudev
Their Lordships cast Their gracious glance over the festivities.

Sanatani, Radhika, Rasa Rajani, Visnupriya Didis along with Giridhari Prabhu and young Braja-Lalana and Ajita-Krsna Prabhu (grandchildren of Srutasrava Prabhu and Sanatani Didi) were busy making feast preparations.
Rolling kacoris.
Cooking kacoris.
Vrinda and Nadia Didis along with Harindhu and Kalachand Prabhus helped with the preparations.
Rasa Rajani, Danistha and Syama Didis helped to roll the puris and then Gaur Nataraj Prabhu cooked them.
So many beautiful preparations.

Then Sarvabhavana Prabhu came and led the program.
Hasyapriya Prabhu glorified Srila Gurudev.

As well as Vrinda Didi and Vidura Prabhu who both spoke from the heart enlivening one and all.

After everyone spoke then there was arotik for Their Lordships with the 108 wick ghee lamp.
Then Guru-Puja.
The temple room was filled to capacity and everyone joined in the kirtan with full enthusiasm.
Then it was time for Prasadam!
Krsna Bhusan Prabhu helped to serve one of the many preparations.
As did Sachi, Rasa Rajani Didis and many others. Everyone was fully satisfied.
