Surprise welcome<\/strong><\/p>\n When we reached the village, to our surprise 500 people were waiting to welcome us, despite the rain. It goes to show that nothing can stop the Lord\u2019s devotees. Everyone stood with umbrellas and the local residents played auspicious music and instruments. After walking with us for some time they released the bulls from the p\u0101da-y\u0101tr\u0101 cart and began pulling the cart themselves. Sri Sri Nitai Gaurasundar must have been very pleased with their seva. What a grand procession it was! Later everyone also joined us for sa\u1e45k\u012brtana.<\/p>\n Pandal program<\/strong><\/p>\n While we were there the devotees organized a large pandal program with 800 people attending. During the program each p\u0101da-y\u0101tri was called on stage and glorified for his particular seva on p\u0101da-y\u0101tr\u0101. The next day we had ma\u1e45gala-\u0101rati with many of the devotees joining us.<\/p>\n
