First day in Caracas
15/06/10 22:19
After a good overnight flight on a mostly empty plane, Srila Acharyyadeva arrived to enthusiastic kirttan in the airport in Caracas, Venezuela. Our early morning arrival helped for swift passage through the immigration and soon we were immersed in the grand sankirttan with banners flying and conch shells blowing. Most of the devotees had stayed up through the night in preparation for our early morning arrival.
Srila Acharyya Maharaj felt sufficiently rested from his flight to proceed directly to the temple for the morning program. He sang several songs and then lectured to all the devotees with Antarjami Prabhu assisting with translation. After the class, Srila Acharyyadeva proceeded to the residence of Purujit Prabhu to take his breakfast. He received the devotees throughout the morning and rested in the latter part of the day.
In the evening he joined the temple program, leading the arati to Parama Karuna Sri Sri Nitai Gaurachandra, lecturing, answering the devotees questions and nourishing one and all. The evening was completed with another grand sankirttan.
