By the immense grace of Sri Premikavaradha Thakurji and the blessings of Sri Swamiji, Atlanta Namadwaar Bhagavathas have had a very active and fulfilling time in the month of June, with many programs both at Namadwaar and across the Metro Atlanta area.
Devotees across Atlanta have been lovingly inviting Thakurji into their homes to mark new beginnings, milestones, special occasions, and also as an offering of gratitude. Each of these gatherings feels special, with the divine presence of the divine couple bringing a sense of joy and peace to everyone.
Events like Sri Radhakalyanam and Nama Ruchi have been celebrated with deep devotion. During these gatherings, devotees also share simple yet meaningful insights from the Srimad Bhagawatham and Guru Mahima. These are often shared as relatable stories, making it easy for people of all ages to connect. Sharing in different languages has helped bring together devotees from diverse backgrounds. Every occasion has been filled with devotion and positive energy. The Atlanta Namadwaar Bhajana Mandali leads with beautiful renditions of Madhurageethams, Ashtapadis, bhajans, and Nama chanting, keeping everyone engaged and connected throughout.
The regular Saturday satsangs are engaging and enriching with bhaktas chanting Nama, offering Sri Madhurageetham, learning Srimadh Bhagawatham and also sharing experiences and Harikathas. Alongside all these activities, daily in-person Nama offering at Namadwaar continues steadily. By Sri Swamiji’s grace, devotees also participate in virtual 12-hour Nama chanting on every Swathi and Ekadashi days, along with the monthly virtual Bhagawatha Saptaham. These ongoing efforts are helping everyone stay connected and engaged in Nama in a consistent and meaningful way.
Beyond Atlanta, devotees also participated in out-of-state programs, including a Sri Radhakalyanam in Jacksonville, Florida, and a Satsang in Auburn, Alabama on June 20th, which included Panchageetham Parayanam, Nama chanting, and bhajans. Nama Ruchi programs were also held in various homes throughout the month.
June has been especially busy and vibrant, with a two-week summer camp, the 125th Sri Radhakalyanam at Namadwaar, and many such satsangs and home programs happening throughout.
Overall, the programs have been very well received, with close to 300 devotees participating during the month. One of the most heartwarming outcomes has been seeing many devotees, including children, continue Nama chanting in their daily lives even after the events.
