Festival of Vedic India at the grand opening of Artea

Report by: Navadwipa Isvari dasi

On Saturday the 21^st June, we were invited back to the Artea studio for their grand opening.

It was a great opportunity for us to promote our temple and to show our Festival of vedic India program to our local community.

We did henna art, distributed prasadam and maha garlands, and temple brochures. We were also fortunate enough to have a book table where we distributed books such as Bhagavad Gita, Science of Self Realisation, and Higher taste.

At first all the children were really curious by our colourful table setup, and were so excited when they found out they too could get henna done on their hands. It was a great opportunity while the kids were getting their henna done to then talk to the parents about Krishna Consciousness, the temple and our program.

Prasadam has always been one of the most popular points of our program, and this day was no different as people eagerly came back for seconds. It became so obvious that people are so attached to Maha prasadam when one lady had forgotten to take her maha garland but came all the way back from home to collect it.
