festivals and other occacions

dear friend, we had recently few nice festivals in and around berlin city, with a flux of hundreds of interested people. Beginning of august we had the Rathayatra festival on the very famous location, Kurfuerstendamm (also known as "Kuhdamm") with around 300 hare krishnas and tousands of tourists who are willingly or not had to hear the sound of chanting and wild cymbal concerts... all in all a very successful as i met many old friends and devotees who showed up. Then we had a 4 day festival of spiritual healing festival, 150 km away from berlin city. A mixture of techno/Goasound with the idea of healing and spiritual search. There was a healing area with 5 tipis in the middle of a nice forest were inside that circle we had done a nice and elaborate Fire sacrifice. Around 120 people joined those vedic chanting and offered rice and lots of fruits to Agni... The festival may have seen around 2 - 3000 visitors with a huge Lord Nataraja Statue in the middle of the dancefloor... (pics will be given later)
