Krishna's Birthday Brisbane

Yesterday was the culmination of months of preparation by a team of devotees lead by Taraka and Varsana Radhe - Krishna's Birthday 09.

The weather was perfect and the festival flowed like a well-oiled machine. The Byron Yoga tent was filled all day with people doing the free yoga classes. The workshop tent, where I was, was well attended for all of the various presentations that took place. It was an excellent first event.

Here are few shots of the festival:

You can check out more photos on Krishnapada's facebook page, if you're on facebook.

You can also watch a recording of the live webcast I did wandering through the festival here. I'd embed it, except it will autoplay when aggregated to Planet ISKCON, which is annoying.

Highlights of the day for me? Playing mrdanga with Carmella at the end of her workshop. Participating in a well-organised festival. Seeing many guests from Atma and the Sunday feast enthusiastically participating.

Here's a video of the final kirtan. The program ran half an hour late at the end, which shows a pretty good estimation, considering that the program had no slack time in it for realignment during the day.
