DEAR READER,

Welcome to the latest edition of the Radhadesh Magazine!

As we delve into the pages of this vibrant publication, we invite you to embark on a journey of spiritual exploration and cultural celebration. The coming months promise a multitude of exciting events and festivities that will fill our hearts with joy and our souls with divine inspiration

August brings with it the auspicious appearance day of Sri Balarama, the elder brother of Lord Krishna This divine occasion provides us with an opportunity to reflect upon the virtues of strength, loyalty, and protection that Sri Balarama exemplifies. Join us as we pay homage and bask in His divine presence.

We recently celebrated a small yet enchanting community Panihati festival The air was filled with the aroma of delectable dishes and the sounds of joyous laughter. It was a delightful occasion where the community came together to honor the spirit of unity that Panihati represents

In June, we witnessed a tremendous turnout for the International Yoga Day celebration at Radhadesh Over 150 guests graced our serene abode, seeking solace and inner peace through the practice of yoga. The event was a resounding success, fostering a sense of harmony and well-being among all who participated.

While we rejoice in the memories of these remarkable gatherings, our hearts are brimming with anticipation for the grand annual cultural Janmastami festival. Mark your calendars for the 3rd of September, as Radhadesh prepares to welcome pilgrims from far and wide to commemorate the birth of Lord Krishna As we unveil this edition of the Radhadesh Magazine, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to all those who have played a part in bringing these pages come to life We hope that each page will be a source of inspiration and joy, resonating with the essence of Radhadesh and its vibrant community

"A vaisnava has to be someone with a heart. A vaisnava is not just someone who chants many rounds of japa or someone who knows many slokas (sastric verses) or someone who always gets up really early when the whole world is still asleep. This is all wonderful but if that person, in spite of all these wonderful qualities, does not show a heart and does not have a heart, then he is not a complete vaisnava!"
