Mahadevi and Sushila Devi Dasis as well as Vidura Krishna, Vira Chandra, Kamal Krishna Prabhus set off bright and early with the blessings of the sannyasis, Sripad Siddhanti Maharaj, Sripad B. C. Parvat Maharaj and Sripad Janardan Maharaj.
The auspicious journey to visit our Eugene center was filled with enthusiastic kirtan for most of the drive.
During a rest stop in Mt. Shasta, CA the Harinam party was invited to chant inside a local meditation center. They were invited to come back on future trips where a program could be arranged so that more people could attend.
A break for Prasadam then it was on the road again.
Once in Eugene the days were filled with activities. Here are Ratan Krishna Prabhu and Sushila Devi Dasi preparing samosas for distribution.
Ratan Krishna Prabhu and Mahadevi Dasi roll the samosas and Nava Sundari Didi spent the whole day cooking them.
Mathuranath Prabhu was happy to receive the visiting devotees to his home and gave full facility for their distribution efforts. Vidura Krishna Prabhu was the capable coordinator for the travelling team.
