All Glories to Sri Guru and Sri Gauranga

Sri Mandir, Auburn NSW, Australia

Evening Programme

Ekadasi, February 19, 2005

Sri Vijay Mahaprabhu driving to the temple in Western Sydney.

The heavens opened up with torrents of rain and hail while devotees were cooking and preparing for the evening program at the Sri Mandir temple in Aurburn, in Sydney's western suburbs.

"Would the guests and friends venture out into this night of wild weather?" - we wondered.

Jaya Srila Guru Dev!

After aroti, devotees dance around the Deity of Sri Vijay Mahaprabhu.

All the guests were served prashad after the evening function, but we didn't get any photos this time...
