At the occasion of ISKCON’s 5Oth anniversary, the residents of New Mayapur are organizing 5 short padayatra walks for peace in the center of France. Each day the group of walkers will drive near 4 large cities (Loches, Amboise, Châteauroux and Valençay) within a maximum of 50 kms radius from the temple and the nearby village of Luçay-le-Mâle. The devotees will then do harinama through the city for up to 3 hours and will then drive back to New Mayapur. Janananda Goswami is planning to join the group every day.
On the last day, after harinama in Luçay, Jaladuta Dasa will take his two oxen to carry the deities of Gaura Nitai for the last 2 kms all the way to the New Mayapur castle. Unfortunately, due to some health regulations, he’s not allowed to take them far from their goshala. After a speech by Janananda Goswami and the friendly mayor of Luçay, Mr. Taillandier, there will be a slide show of Srila Prabhupada and Padayatras worldwide and a delicious prasadam.
