A SUNDAY DOUBLE HEADER ON SEPTEMBER 12th

On Sunday we had a real treat in store, two dramas in the same evening! The second year students from the Brindavan campus presented a drama called ‘Bhadrachala Ramdas’. The drama begins with a group discussing that Bhakti is the best means of pleasing the Lord. They thus recount the story of Bhadrachala Ramdas, a staunch devotee of Lord Rama, who won the Lord’s protection. Ramdas, a tax collector under a Muslim king, used some tax receipts to build a temple for Lord Rama. For this he was imprisoned and even flogged in prison. In a touching scene, Lord Rama and His brother Lakshmana came in their divine form to the Muslim king and paid off all the money owed by Ramdas, including the penalty and interest, to protect their devotee. After the drama Swami walked down the steps and posed for photographs with all the students.
