A piece of cake

The past weekend was the ecstatic appearance day of Sri Nrsimhadev! So naturally the youth group’s (which took place the day before Nrsimhadev’s Appearance day) topic was Nrsimhadev. On these special days the Lord is most accessible and merciful. So our youth group discussion focused on what we can meditate on to get the most out of this day. We discussed the different things which we can pray to the Lord for. South Africa and actually the whole world is fraught with danger and naturally we turn to the Lord to protect us in these difficult times. While it is natural to pray to the Lord for this we must remember there is something more important and more lasting that we could pray for and that is that we may over come all the many obstacles that cross our path on this journey in spiritual life. This is a more effective prayer as this will certainly take us out of the world of danger and we will be firmly placed in the abode of the Lord where there is no such thing.



On the festival day itself SMD YG hosted the “Nrsinga Café” where the many cakes that we had were sold in no time at all… it is very interesting to see the effect of hunger on devotees ;o)

We also had a little section advertising the youth group where we also displayed the Nrsinga dev figurines we made last week at youth group. The kids especially went crazy for these and guess what??...we sold every single one of our Nrsingadevs’! All monies will be going towards Ratha Yatra.

Besides that, we also had a book table. We sold quite a few books as well.

Thank you, guys, for all your enthusiasm, help and creativity!
