Few Bhutanese in The Netherlands enjoying transcendental happiness

Hare Krsna! This is a moment of nice time among the friendly Bhutanese gathered in the spiritual atmosphere. Vedic cultural center in Boxtel, Netherlands is serving the interested Bhutanese a platform to share their culture and tradition to others and also learn other's culture. This type of congregation appears as a center for Bhutanese culture and integration support center. This is how we enjoyed our vacation time in our own traditional ways cook together the traditional food- see foto, and enjoy it sitting in circle, perform music and bhajan kirtan.

Many people thinks that one can be happy by going into the bars and drink alcohol, but it is not true. The real happiness is by engaging into transcendental activities that develops spirituality in them and purifies their existence from the materialism.

That is the hankering of the soul and a satkarma- the good action which results into transcendental happiness. Everyone of you irrespective of the background are warmly welcomed in this congregation.

Its the month for harvesting material yeild from the corn, maize and barley field and also harvest the stpiritual wealth by devotional service to Damodar.
