Śrī Gurupūrṇimā celebrations went of very well, attended by disciples, devotees and well-wishers of the Āśrama. There were kirtans during the entire morning. Following the garlanding of the samadhis of Śrī Mahārāj-ji, Śrī Param Guru-ji and Śrī Haridasheshvar-ji (Śrī Hanuman-ji), disciples and devotes offered garlands to Śrī Mahārāj-ji in Jagmohan and sang kirtans for the pleasure of Thakur-ji and Śrī Mahārāj-ji. Two books were released and presented on the occasion: Vraja-Vihar-Kavyam and Catuhshloki Bhashyam. Śrī Haridāsa Nivāsa Patrikā, an e-mail newsletter was also released in both English and Hindi. This patrikā was begun by Śrī Mahārāj-ji and now resumed once again in electronic format. The purpose is to bring remembrance of Śrī Mahārāj-ji to his disciples and followers and to also share updates on the temple, Āśrama and Gośālā activities. There was a beautiful dance recital performed at the courtyard for the pleasure of the deities Śrī Śrī Gaura Gadādhara and Śrī Śrī Rādhā Govinda-ji by a dance troupe from Tripura enacting the pastimes of Śrī-Kṛṣṇa in Vraja.
