Festivals give relief to hectic, exhausting life and pleasure to the calm life. Whatever the religion, festivals are for the enjoyment. We (me and friends) planned to utilize the day of festival – Xmas day, being together in beach. So, according to our plan we went to Bondi beach.
Sea, beaches are always fascinating places for me though I’ve visited many times since I’m in Australia
People surfing in the sea.
At the time of returning home, we find some people with Hare Rama, Hare Krishna bhanjans and dance. We spent some time watching them. It was not obvious scene in Australia. The Gopinis were in the beach instead of Vrinda ban (forest).
The camera we had taken couldn't help at this moment to capture, it ran out of battery. So, I captured these photos with my mobile(3.2 mp).
This video was also recorded using mobile. So the video quality is not so good but at least, you can listen to their way of singing bhajans.
Dear Prem,
ReplyDeleteThe article is very good. The snaps are wonderful and i must appreciate your photographic art.
All the festivals that we celebrate have some profound meaning in it. We all need some days of break in our life from our regular job. It doesn't matter from which religion we are. The common purpose of all festivals of different religion is the re-union of family and friends which fosters the social life. Another good aspect is that we can take rest from our busy life.
As an participator on this tour, i enjoyed alot and specially i can't forget having "sel roti" on beach and still my mouth lubricates remembering those "sel roti" and "Alu ko Achar". The most wonderful moment was "Hare Ram, Hare Krishna" dance during Xmas which really showed the celebration of harmony and diversity during festive season. I really amazed that some people were dancing with "Hare Ram, Hare Krishna" melody with santa caps on their head. Though the melody of "Hare Ram, Hare Krishna" was in their own way, it was really appreciable.
Waiting for more blogs,
Sharad
Grand to see Gopinis there in AUSSIE Beach. Superb. But Where is Krishna?
