ISKCON Bangalore celebrated Panihati Chida Dahi Utsava on June 14, 2011.
As the day progressed towards dusk, several devotees gathered across at the Open-air theatre at the ISKCON Bangalore temple complex, preparing flowers for decorations. There was a breath of festivity in the air as preparations for Panihati Chida Dahi Mahotsava were in full swing. Amongst several devotees who were knitting loose flowers into a magnificent garland, was 74-year-old Shyam Sundar Das. He has been rendering such service for the past 10 years. “I feel blessed all the time and this is probably what Lord Krishna wants me do”, he says with a humble look on his face. Shyam Sundar Das was collecting petals from flowers.
