Hey !<\/p>\n

Well just reporting in a couple of great days here at the Ashram.<\/p>\n

First came my Gurudev’s Divine Appearance on Saturday (Dec 6th, 2025).<\/p>\n

That was really something. The Vyasasan (Divine seat) for Srila Gurudev was decorated so nicely by Srimate Radharani Dasi from Mexico….<\/p>\n

Next up came today, which was the Holy Disappearance Day of Srila Bhakti Siddhanta Saraswati Thakur Prabhupada.<\/p>\n

I was allowed to be the Pujari today for the holiday. A great privilege and honor !<\/p>\n

Things are going great.<\/p>\n

The Prasad (holy foodstuffs) was incredibly good too, made by one of our expert chefs, Srimate Sanatani Devi Dasi of Santa Cruz, California.<\/p>\n

Pictured below are the remnants of the offering today, which I was able to offer up, as Mondays are one of my days… !<\/p>\n

We had a small but potent number of Devotees visit today.<\/p>\n

Hari Bol !<\/p>\n

The video shows myself performing Arati worship….<\/p>\n

YES I made some mistakes. What can I say. It’s actually the human condition to make mistakes.<\/p>\n

I am plagued with mistakes, constantly making them.<\/p>\n

All I can do is to continue begging for forgiveness.<\/p>\n

I am so jazzed though. I am\u00a0 up late\/early writing this, enthusiastic and joyful !<\/p>\n
