The garland of ceaseless festivities that vividly depicted the divine significance and beauty of MahaUdhdharan Lila (divine sports of Avatars/incarnations of God that inherently expose the godly characteristics of the players) initiated by Prabhu Jagadbandhu Sundar and propagated by Mahanam Sampraday and Mahanam Sevak Sangha, comprised of Chandrapat Mahakirtan, Bhajans, other devotional songs, kirtans and mahakirtans praising the glory of Lords Krishna (Radha), Chaitanya (Gouranga Mahaprabhu), Nityananda Prabhu and Prabhu Sundar, readings from the Gita and Bhagavatam, narratives of various episodes of Prabhu Sundar’s Life of Lila, a religious dance (Kathak) and the concluding Aaroti/Kirtan – a life-blood of Prabhu Sundar’s MahaUdhdharan Lila Life. MCMSS conveyed the heartiest thanks to the audience intermittently throughout the program as also at the conclusion for their kindest presence and sincerest support and generosity.
The fragrance of the lighted incense kept emanating into the flowing air, the kirtan songs kept reverberating within the four walls, the roof and the floor, as if, to create a milieu of pervasive divinity.

The entire ceremony was memorable and fulfilling to all those who attended. For another time MahaUdhdharan Lila interconnected BrajaLila and GourLila and created a confluence of the Three Lilas bathing in which the participants and the crowd felt mesmerized, ecstatic and fulfilled in their heart of hearts.
