Initiation ceremony and Vedic wedding and in the holy Dham
Date: 25.04.2025
Our pilgrimage to India this year (2025) was crowned by two fantastic events, namely a grand initiation ceremony and a Vedic wedding with a fire ceremony.
On March 21, 2025, the auspicious day of our spiritual initiation, there was a grand Ritvik Initiation Ceremony in Govindgarh, near Jaipur, India.
Six new devotees came forward to take the vow of spiritual life, chanting sixteen rounds of the Hare Krishna Maha mantra and following the four regulated principles of not eating meat, not having illicit sex, no intoxicants and no gambling for the rest of their lives.
The newly initiated Devotees are:
• Bhakta Florian = Atmarama Das
• Bhakta Konstantin = Keshava Das
• Bhakta Esra = Rasa Bihari Das
• Bhakta Aron = Advaita Acarya Das
• Bhaktin Kathi = Kalindi Devi Dasi
• Bhaktin Mukta = Madan Mohini Devi Dasi
