PRASAD-SEVA
"When people serve prasadam affectionately, it is good. When Gurudev could not come to some festival in Nabadwip, he would send his servitor, "Give me the report whether the devotees are getting prasadam or not, whether they are serving properly or not." He would always ask about it, and until the festival has finished, he would be sitting there, waiting for the report. Serving prasadam is very important." (Attachment to Prasadam)
EVENING PROGRAMME
Thus ends the grand day of the annual Deities' Installation Anniversary
Festival at the Siliguri Temple.
If you would like to know more about the significance and proper conception
of such festivals,
