The Llama Fest was
originally conceived as an opportunity to highlight Llamas and their
owners in the most public way possible: in the overall cultural context
of food, music, spinning and weaving demonstrations, music, dance, and competitions between the llamas and their handlers.
"If an average attendance of 4,000-5,000 is a public enough event,"
says festival coordinator Caru Das, " then we've been successful.

Vaibhavi's Paintings Decorate Temple Dome.
Three paintings like the one below now decorate the New Kusum Sarovar temple dome. Vaibhavi did them in her spare time (ha!) last winter and this spring. They were mounted recently and gorgeously display some Radha Krishna pastimes in luscious color and opulence. They are quite larger horizontal paintings 3 feet high by 6 feet long. If you haven't visited the temple recently, it's worth coming just to see these works of devotional art.
 Thanks to Ram Kishan Das and Avdesh & Uma Agarwal of Los Angeles the deities now have protection and privacy during certain hours of the day and night. Umesh donated and Ram Kishan shipped half a dozen elaborately carved screens, which were bolted first to the wall, then to one another, so they can all fold inward and cover the main altar.  |
