Under the benevolent glance of their Lordships Sri Sri Guru Gauranga Gandharvika Giridhari Jiu, on behalf of His Divine Grace, Srila Bhakti Nirmal Acaryya Maharaj, Sripad Janardan Maharaj bestowed the divine blessings of Sri Harinam initiation to Jenny and her daughter Amanda visiting from Salt Lake City.

With sincere inspiration in her heart Jeannette aka Jenny, approached Janardan Maharaj with her heartfelt request and she was granted divine blessings.

The devotees from Salt Lake City were visiting to attend the wedding of Bimal Krishna Prabhu and Isthadevika Devi.

Amanda was first and Sripad Janardan Maharaja affectionately gave her Sri Harinam connection along with kind and clear instructions.

Your name will now be Anandita Devi Dasi.

Next it was Jenny's turn.

Sripad Janardan Maharaj took much time and care and gave full affection to our new family members.

The ceremony was followed by a beautiful kirtan.

Holding hands mother and daughter chanted the holy names with all of the devotees.

A most welcome addition to our devotional family.
