By Acarya Dasa<\/p>\n

On the 29th<\/sup> of January 2016, padayatra <\/em>reached a village called Avadi.\u00a0 Previously there was no preaching going on here. When padayatra <\/em>was here last we stayed for two days doing sankirtana.\u00a0 <\/em>Many of the villagers came and joined us for gaura arati<\/em>, after which we gave small classes describing the importance of the holy names and distributed lots of books. The villagers were happy to take darsana <\/em>of Nitai Gaurasundar, and even more so when we told them that these deities were non-different from Krishna and Balaram themselves. A few of them enjoyed the deity worship process, chanting and sankirtana<\/em> \u2013this was how preaching had started in this village and now by the mercy of Srila Prabhupada an ISKCON Centre has been established here.<\/p>\n

Now once again when we reached Avadi the devotees here \u00a0received us and their Lordships with much joy. The matajis <\/em>worshipped Nitai Gaurasundar and we did house programs at the devotees\u2019 homes.\u00a0 We also went on sankirtana <\/em>and book distribution together with the centre devotees. Thus by the mercy of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu preaching is going on in nagar <\/em>and gram,<\/em> that is, in city and village.<\/p>\n
