Every year on Govardhan we go to ISKCON temple for the Govardhan puja. The temple is beautifully decorated with strings of flowers and lights. So few may ask, What is a Govardhan puja?

Goddess Lakshmi and Lord Ganesha are worshipped everywhere.  Day 4 - On 16th day we celebrate Govardhan Puja and we worship Lord Krishna.  Day 5- On 17th day we celebrate Bhai Doo

Happy Fall, Y'all !!🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂 I can honestly say Fall or Autumn season is the most incredible time of the year apart from Spring with visible changes in mother nature with rusty and vibrant hues of yellow, orange, red and brown. As most of us know, on September 21st each year, we embrace the fall season with the arrival of the fall equinox (also known as the autumnal equinox ), the autumn leaves start to fall with cool and crispy air surrounding us, tempting us to have warm beverages all the time in a day wrapping in cozy Jackets or sweaters. I live in an area where "foliage " changes according to the seasons. My house is surrounded by trees producing the best and fullest fall foliage every year. In 2021, I wrote an article on " Enchanting Fall " , Do read this article as to how I enjoy the nature with Fall/autumnal leaf color changing to vibrant shades of yellow, orange, red and brown in September, October, November and with

  Lynn Canyon park is a hidden gem, a beautiful haven to me and one of the best place for hike with a suspension bridge in Vancouver. Opened in 1912 with 617 acres of forest land making it the largest park in North Vancouver. The Suspension bridge is small but It's free (you can make a donation at the ecology center).                                             ( Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis photo - courtesy to google) For those who are fans of TV series such as Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis, some parts of the show was filmed in this area.
