On the 19th was Radhastami - the Appearance of Srimati Radharani. On this day, I spent a lot of the time in the Temple Room listening to the most wonderful music I have ever heard! Just to sit there and trying to listen attentively and sing along was a very mellow experience. Everyone was singing with so much Love that I could feel like I was starting to be carried away with those Waves of Love.

Sri Radha had a most beautiful form on this day and she was smiling sweetly from her Altar, as was Krishna (London-ishvara is the name of the deity in the Temple). This conception was slowly starting to creep into my consciousness. The Deities are Real! Because we are covered with Maya (Illusion), we cannot see the Lord, but he mercifully manifests in his Deity form for all to see.

"I have bought medicine to awaken every living being from perpetual sleep. Please receive the Holy Name of the Lord, the Hare Krishna Maha-Mantra and Awaken"

Here are some videos of the Bhajans and Kirtans that occured today. Maybe you will hear a glimpse of the Waves of Love that was experienced on that day! OK quality mobile phone videos.
