The full moon on Saturday was Gaura Purnima, the celebration of the most recent incarnation of Krishna (God), Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu. He appeared in the mood of Radharani (Krishna's beloved), and in the form of a renounced devotee, teaching the path of devotional service to God. This year was extra special because there was a full moon eclipse just like there was the night of his appearance over 500 years ago. For the full story of Lord Caitanya, click here . All of our friends gathered to sing, dance, and hear about the Lord. There was probably around 100 devotees, and at least 25 kids. We rented this great building that even had a playground with a slide and lots of toys. The kirtan (congregational, devotional singing) was beyond words. Everyone had a great time! Here's a few pics that don't come close to capturing what we all experienced.
