Janmastami Photo Gallery - A Treat!

Krishan, a devotee from Newcastle, took some beautiful photos of Radha-Madhava, while he was with us for Janmastami.

It's a real treat to watch them as a slide-show here: Krishna Mistry's Slideshow , whilst listening to this Kirtan: Ranchor Leads Kirtan. It's a bit tricky to get them both together - but it's worth it.

You can see Sri Sri Radha-Madhava all bedecked in silken garments and flower garlands, for this special festival, and enjoy Their extraordinary bathing ceremony. After all, why do we have eyes, but for to gaze upon the beauty of God! And, come to think of it, what use are our ears, unless we use them for hearing the sublime sound of His sacred names?

An Interlude.

Here's a nice thing: A slideshow of Sri Sri Radha-Madhava with photos taken at different festivals. And music to compliment it - Madhu-mangala das (aka Maurice Foley) sings a song of his own composition, accompanied by himself on mandolin and Clara on fiddle. Once we work out how to do slideshows and put sound up on these Chronicles, won't we have fun!

The slideshow is on the ISKCON.com website, run by our able Lal-Krishna das, and the picture above is one of a series of Names of Krishna which change every time you visit the site. It is our own Madhava-ji, of course. Click here to see the slideshow: Radha-Madhava Picture Gallery.
