I believe I speak for all in attendance at this year’s Sri Govinda Mela in saying that I am overjoyed by the heart-touching experience we all had together. The warm atmosphere reminiscent of Srila Gurudev’s world tours, the fulfillment of Srila Gurudev’s desire through the building the Sri Giriraja Raja Mandira, the excellent delivery of Hari-katha by our distinguished speakers, and the abundance of service energy offered by so many participants in preparation for and throughout the Mela, amongst many other qualities of the gathering, have greatly delighted us all. I pray all the momentum created by this year’s Mela will inspire the community to make a concerted effort to continue the event annually for years to come.
