Sri Sri Radha Pandharinath's boat ride on
Chandra Bhaga River 14th of July
The culmination of a whole day of transcendental activities was the boat ride of their Lordships Sri Sri Radha Pandharinath. They where taken in a nice palanquin from the temple to the Chandra Bhaga River where 25 boats were waiting for them and all their devotees. The boat were all decorated with balloons, streamers and flowers and after a little while on the smooth waters of the Chandra Bhaga, H.H.Lokanath Swami offered fruits to their Lordships. During the whole boat ride sweet kirtan was eminating from the Sound system boat and after the offering was finished Lokanath Maharaja distributed all the
Mahaprasadam to all the devotees in the boats and on the shaw. It was a wild scene because everybody was so eager to get the Prasadam that the boads where in danger of capsizing. The water of Chandra Bhaga is
not so deep and the current no strong so devotees jumped into the water and swam and danced along their Lordships as they gave darshan to all the hundred of thousands of pilgrims along the banks of this holy river. The transcendental journey ended with Lokanath Swami offering Aratik to Sri Sri Radha Pandharinath before they went back to their temple. A very very nice experience.
