International Festival of Yoga
Caracas, Venezuela
19-21 June 2015
For three days from 19 to 21 June the devotees from Venezuela and Colombia participated in the International Festival of Yoga held yearly in Caracas, Venezuela, representing and preaching on behalf of Sri Chaitanya Saraswat Math. Sripad Hari Kirtan Prabhu was one of the organisers of the festival and through him the devotees could take a prominent part and preach extensively through the Odissi dances, kirtans, books, as well as stalls with ethnic clothing and various savouries. This festival also was a very good opportunity to gain TV coverage and promote Sri Chaitanya Saraswat Math among such influential personalities as the ambassadresses of India (Smita Purushottam), Malaysia, Thailand, Singapore, and others.
Sending these pictures, the devotees write: "Hari Kirtan Prabhu invited us to participate [in this festival] as his offering to Srila Acharya Maharaj, and we are very happy to offer this seva and our dandavat pranams to the lotus feet of our dearmost Srila Acharya Maharaj and to all the devotees of Sri Chaitanya Saraswat Math family."
A TV footage was shot showing the preaching of the devotees.
Many devotees served hard during these three days at the book, clothes and
savouries stalls.
