On the 25th Dec 2022, ISKM Pondicherry has celebrated the all auspicious Pallaki Yatra. The festival was grandly organised and many people took advantage of this opportunity by engaging in different services starting from planning, executing, donating, volunteering, organizing, etc. The weather was pleasing and with a pleasant climate too. As the Lord was pouring his causeless mercy on the people, the raingod was also showing his mercy with some mild drizzling. The Hare Krishna mantra was chanted throughout the procession and Prasadam was distributed for about 1000 people on the path. There was a special talk at the end of the program and sumptuous Prasadam was distributed to all. We thank the Supreme Lord Jagannatha for engaging all the devotees in His service and all the devotees and volunteers.
A special thanks to HG Baladev Vidyabhusan Prabhu and HG Prthu Prabhu for gracing this occasion. Their assistance in this occasion was greatly appreciated due to the small number of congregational devotees in ISKM Pondicherry. Baladeva Prabhu was helping to dress the Lord and Prthu Prabhu was performing kirtan with his sweet voice.
sb 12.13.23
nāma-saṅkīrtanaṁ yasya
sarva-pāpa praṇāśanam
praṇāmo duḥkha-śamanas
taṁ namāmi hariṁ param
Translation
I offer my respectful obeisances unto the Supreme Lord, Hari, the congregational chanting of whose holy names destroys all sinful reactions, and the offering of obeisances unto whom relieves all material suffering.
