Last night I was pleased to welcome the only Vaishnavas I know of in Louisville for an evening of kirtan, spiritual discussion and of course, prasadam.

They had never been to the center, and seemed pleased with the way the project was coming along. We sung traditional Vaishnava bhajans to the mridanga and kartals for over an hour and then Jaya Sri didi read from Bhakti Rasayana by Sanatana Goswami and spoke on the verses. After that we all shared prasadam, including an incredibly good wild blackberry nectar and fresh mangoes! When I woke this morning, I felt a very good, pure vibe in the house and I attest that to the sadhu sangha and bhajans sung the night before.
It was an auspicious gathering indeed. Sadhu Sanga, or the association of Vaishnavas for glorification of Krishna and honoring prasadam is completely necessary for Bhakti to develop. It's a very special, auspicious phenomenon with great potency.
