Nova Gokul Brazil - 24 Hour Kirtan 2008

 Cows at the Farm On the way to the farm
A few weeks ago, Gaura went down to South America for the Brazilian Festival of India and 24  Hour Kirtan, so we are all learning a little bit of Portugese (estamos aprendendo o português).
Gaura was at the Festival of India in Pindo, Brazil for Ratha Yatra, a parade native to Orissa, India, where Lord Jagannatha (Krishna) is annually taken out onto the street on a beautifully decorated cart. Of course, the parade involves a lot of kirtan, (kirtan vivo! ) a lot of clapping, ( a gente do Brasil gosta de aplaudir) and a lot of dancing (a gente do Brasil gosta de dançar).
Then, in a beautiful valley in the region of Ribeirao Grande, the real kirtan began.  These were the rules: the kirtan had to be continuous for 24 Hours. We could change kirtan leaders, but the transition needed to be flawless. The result was that the people of the remote and eco-friendly farm community, Nova Gokula, were singing and dancing all night!
