Sri Sri Guru Gauranga Gandharvika Giridhari this Anniversary Day with new outfits made by Swarnangi Devi Dasi with the help of Vaidehi Devi Dasi, Varshana Devi Dasi and Madhumati Devi Dasi. Their Lordships were installed by our merciful Srila Gurudev Srila Bhakti Sundar Govinda Dev-Goswami Maharaj on this day in 1996.

Devotees at noon aratik. Just as on the occasion of the installation of Sri Sri Guru Gauranga Gandharvika Giridhari, the devotees made special offerings of gifts and service, inspired by our Gurudev. "By the mercy of Krishna we get Guru, and by the mercy of Guru we get Krishna."

Sripad Goswami Maharaj, Sripad Janardan Maharaj and Sripad Parvat Maharaj glorify Sri Guru and Their Lordships at today's program.

The devotees were additionally graced by the presence of Sripad Ashram Maharaj from Mexico. His Holiness helped bring the Deities to America, and here shares that occasion with the assembly.

The festival ends with the traditional grand feast as
Prabhu Jai Gauranga and Prabhu Vidura Krishna serve out Prasadam.
