Iskcon Nepal - Devotees were chanting hours before the earthquake transformed sacred temple in ruins
# Katmadu_Earthquake
Sutakirti prabhu: I am also in aftershock. Two days ago we were walking around this area, where there are so many old temples; a Radha Krsna temple, a Jagannatha temple and a Nrsinghadeva temple. We heard the sound of the mridanga and karatals and walked over to this place and joined in the Harinama. Two days later nothing but ruble in the exact place the devotees were chanting. We left the evening before the quake.
We were in the temple car on the way back to Vrindavan when the quake occurred. Today the Deities at the Katmandu temple are outside of the Deity room for safety. Part of me wishes I was there to help and the other part understands that somehow Govardhan removed us just before it happened. Teary eyed I feel grateful all our friends are safe. Feeling sad and sober.
Below: This is what remains two days after we were chanting on the stairs.
