By the boundless grace of Sri Guruji and ThakurJi, devotees from Namadwaar Virginia were blessed to participate in a deeply uplifting *Srimad Bhagavatha Sapthaham* and evening celebrations at Namadwaar, Nava Vrindavan. Families from Virginia and the DC area came together every day for the parayanam.
Throughout the Sapthaham, we witnessed several beautiful incidents that strengthened our faith and reminded us of Sri G’s ever-present grace.
*Narasimha Avatar Parayanam*
On the day of the *Narasimha Avatar* parayanam, there was heavy rain early in the morning. Interestingly, while most roads in the area were clear, the entire stretch of Landora Bridge Road leading to Namadwaar was covered with fallen trees and branches. The scene reminded us of the majestic path of Lord Narasimha after His divine appearance.
Since we were driving around 6:30 a.m., before the county crews had begun clearing the roads, we wondered how we would reach Namadwaar. By Sri G’s grace, there was just enough space for vehicles to pass safely. It truly felt as though Bhagavan Himself had made a way for us to reach Namadwaar for the parayanam.
*Krishna Jananam*
During the *Krishna Jananam* parayanam, a few deer quietly approached the Namadwaar premises and stood facing the direction of the parayanam. They remained there peacefully, as though they too were listening to the parayanam of the Lord’s divine birth.
As soon as the parayanam concluded, a heavy downpour began, even though the weather forecast had predicted rain only later in the day. It felt as though nature itself was rejoicing in the celebration of Krishna Jananam.
*Poorthi and Radha Kalyanm*
After the completion of the *Poorthi* and *Radha Kalyanam*, there was once again a gentle drizzle. With folded hands, we submit our humble prayers at the lotus feet of Sri G and ThakurJi. May They always keep us in the ruchi for Nama Chanting, Srimad Bhagavatha Parayanam, and Yugal Seva.
