Gokul Ashtami 2020 has been accomplished very well and we, the devotees, all the committee members, thank you very much, namely Malamudradhikari Rameshwar Haridas and his family, Pradip Haridas and his family, Prashant Haridas and his family and Krishnadas Haridas and his family. Everyone was worried about how this family utsav would be accomplished in this Corona epidemic. But with the love and grace of Gopal Krishna Dev Shri, from the eldest and greatest Meera Haridas and Murli Haridas to the child Mayur Haridas to Shriram Haridas came forward and decided to begin the family ceremony like every year and all the devotees, committee members, were accordingly informed. Now all the devotees who were in tensed, now rejoiced like a peacock rejoicing by seeing the clouds. All the devotees who were coming from Pune, Mumbai, Bangalore, USA, Canada for this Ashtami in every year, but now decided not to go to Shirali because of Corona situation. Now again the question arose as to how to watch the festival live sitting at home. Overcoming this, Shridatt Rao started testing several applications with Shivgopal and his wife Shivangi. So it turned out that Google Meets to be used as live stream application. And Shivangi took the initiative positively and started showing the entire Dolara, Panjo as well as Aarti live. Now everyone at home was watching the festival live every day from Google Meets. It is claimed that Lord Gopal Krishna Dev himself may have given positive encouragement to everyone one above to make all these events a success right from the very beginning till it's accomplishments.
