The devotees coming for the Bhagwat Katha going on at Fogla Ashram by Radha Krishna Maharaj also enjoyed the kirtan from the saint. After his discourse, Maharaj began singing kirtan in a sweet voice, which got the devotees dancing near the stage area. People from all age groups danced for hours in devotion for Radha and Krishna.
Burglars had their day during Bhagwat Katha
While devotees from around the country thronged Fogla Ashramt to listen to Bhagwat Katha and make spiritual gains from it, pickpockets struck the place and stole 5 mobile phones and 2 gold chains. The devotees reported the matter with the organising committee who in-turn took the help of Police.
Organiser Girish Chandhok said that as the entry is open to everyone, burglars can find it easy to steal in among thousands of devotees. He informed our correspondent that the organising committee is increasing security now but its hard to manage this big crowd without the help of the Police. Regular announcements were played in the ashram to warn the crowd of the presence of thieves.
