Adhivas - Jhulan Yatra

Dear devotees,

Tomorrow is the beginning of the auspicious Jhulan Yatra and today is the Adhivas (invoking the auspiciousness for tomorrows' festival). The ceremony took place in the temple. Guru Maharaja arrived to the temple @ 7:40 pm and joined the head pujaris Jananivasa prabhu and Pankajangri prabhu were already been with the utsava (festival) deities on the altar for invoking the auspiousness. Guru maharaja offered lamp and few other items.

After Adhivas guru maharaja gave class in the temple. Starting from tomorrow which is Ekadasi day until Balaram Purnima, for five days the festival dieties of Radha Madhava will be taken to gurukula campus (near goshalla) where the Jhulan Yatra festival will be celebrated grandly. Every year the Mayapur youth and Gurukula students collcet the funds and organize this festival. It is one of the beautiful festivals in Mayapur. Almost everyone looks forward for it.

Jhulan yatra ki jai!!!

Wish you all a happy Jhulan Yatra!!!
