Congratulations to Vaisnavas CARE volunteer, Bhaktin Beryl Trimble and her son for receiving Hari Nama initiation. Here is what she has to say, "My son Richard and I received initiation from our beloved spiritual master, His Grace Sankarshan Das Adhikari.  So on
January 20th, I became Bhavani devi dasi and my son became Raghunatha das
Brahmacari.  That ecstatic occasion has brought joy into our lives and
pushed material calamities back to a place where they can no longer touch
us.  I've attached photos for you to see, taken during our initiation
ceremony.  I pray to Krsna that by his mercy I never have to 'come down'
from this wonderful transcendental experience. Hare Krsna!"
 
Congratulations to Bhavani devi dasi and Raghunatha das Brahmacari! May Lord Krsna continue to give them His blessings!! We wish them all the best in their spiritual lives.
