Radhe Radhe.<\/p>\n
We announce with great sorrow that the roof of the Mandir at Suryakund caved in today, just when the celebration of the Disappearance Day of Siddha Srila Madhusudan das Baba was on full swing. The parikrama of the village had just ended when disaster struck.\u00a0 The Vaishnavs celebrate this occasion on a mega level and all vehicles seem to head towards just one goal – SURYAKUND.\u00a0<\/p>\n
However today this turned out to be an unprecedented accident, when the roof that had been repaired recently, broke down. PLenty of devotees died on the spot and many more injured. Three Vaishnavs from radhakund were killed in this sad incident.<\/p>\n
Majority of the deceased and injured were men, since the\u00a0men lead the sankirtan and had filed inside the Mandir first. The ones who were safe got no vehicle to return, since all vehicles were being used to carry either dead bodies or for rushing the injured to the hospital. The Vaishnavs were forced to return on foot which took a long time.<\/p>\n
Today is also the Adhivas-kirtan evening for our dear Param Gurudev 108 Srimad Kunjabehari Babaji Maharaj, or whom we lovingly call ‘Dadu Maharaj’. It is usually a very enjoyable affair with hot khichdi prasaadam topped with hot brinjal fritters, which the devotees find highly delectable \u00a0in the cold December evening. Baba even provides hot water to the devotees for washing their hands. Yet, now everyone’s spirit is highly dampened with the sad turn of events.<\/p>\n
By the mercy of Swaminijiu, Binod Baba who is usualy such a prominent figure in the Suryakund mega fest (since\u00a0 Tinkodi Baba’s disciples handle this grand affair), was absorbed in his personal Bhajan, and had stayed in Barsana –\u00a0away from the crowd.\u00a0(What a relief !!) Also, my parents, who have great penchant for attending all the ‘Siddha Baba’ feasts had stayed home (for reasons even they\u00a0did not know).\u00a0i thank Swaminijiu sincerely ofr keeping all our loved ones safe;\u00a0at the same time my heart is heavy remembering the\u00a0devotees who have sufferred.\u00a0Please let us sincerely pray for the dear departed souls, for the speedy recovery of the injured and the family members of the affected devotees.
