Srimati Urmila devi dasi ACBSP - ISKCON School North Carolina

Srimati Urmila devi dasi ACBSP - ISKCON School North Carolina

last updated 30th May 2005


Sri Giri Govardhan - May 2005

We carefully removed the paint that was there when we got Him, now He looks even more beautiful.

For the almost eleven years we've been having a gurukula in Hillsborough, North Carolina (written 2001), we've taken the blissful duty of organizing the Govardhana Puja festival as the temple always observes it on a weekend rather than the actual day. We've made an annual "ritual" of it for the schoolchildren. About a week before the day, we start building a paper mache hill by putting paper dipped in flour and water over a wire form that's stapled to a piece of wood. The students make and decorate this hill every year. The whole devotee community is invited and we have a big "potluck" feast. I do this because I thought that *someone* should have a festival on the actual day and, mostly, as a wonderful memorable thing for the kids to make and decorate a hill and have a festival that was "theirs." I had no idea or intention of developing a personal relationship with Govardhana. I was just trying to do my duty.

On Govardhana Puja of 2000, our GBC, Bir Krsna Swami, came to our gurukula festival early as usual. But this time he kept insisting that I should worship an abandoned Govardhana sila. The devotee who had left Him had gotten the sila with the permission of his guru and many Brijbasis, but had since fallen into various types of difficulty. I must have asked Maharaja twenty times, "Are you *sure* I should worship him?" Then Govardhana came that day for the festival.

My dear Lord, although personally You have nothing to do, You have distributed Your energies in the interactions of the material modes of nature, and for that reason the creation, maintenance and dissolution of the cosmic manifestation take place

Hare KrishnaBy Urmila Devi Dasi

Each person can make a big difference without action from government or any other organisation. It may take a year or more before merchants respond to visitors refusing plastic—patience and persistence will please the Lord and give us all the blessings of the holy places.

Jul 18 2007 Respect for Individuality

Hare KrishnaBy Urmila Devi Dasi

The individuality of the self is a central teaching in Vaisnava philosophy, but what is our practical understanding of this term? Individuality is present in all living beings on both a material and a spiritual level. This article translates how this concept needs to relate to education practices in ISKCON today.

Apr 13 2007 Kinds and degrees of illicit sex

Hare KrishnaBy Urmila Devi Dasi

In this regard, there are both kinds and degrees of illicit sex. The fact that one can categorize them all as "illicit" does not equate them, nor will there be the equivalent type and severity of reaction. And some types of "illicit" sex are more likely to bring one to a pious platform than are others.

Jan 12 2007 Our Heart in Vrindavana…and our intelligence and hands and pocketbook, too!

Hare KrishnaBy Urmila Devi Dasi

Following the desire of Lord Caitantya, Prabhupada widely advertised Vrindavana throughout the world. The Lord and His servants do not intend, therefore, for Vrindavana to remain as unpopulated fields. We have followed the order to spread Vrindavana’s glories, and now we must, ethically, guide that development properly, dealing with the unintended negative consequences of development as our service, as well.

Sep 29 2006 Real education

Hare KrishnaBy Urmila Devi Dasi

He will think, "I don't like pain, so why should I give pain to an animal just so I can eat?" He’ll be honest: “I don't like to be cheated, so why should I cheat others?” And he'll always speak beneficially: “I like to hear the truth, I don’t like to be insulted, and I want to hear what is useful to me. Let me speak to others that way.” A truly educated person, therefore, will try not to hurt anyone, even by his words.

Jul 31 2006 The Mystery of the Sweet Manifestation of the Lord in New Mayapur, France

Hare KrishnaBy Urmila Devi Dasi

Finally I came to understand. The devotees there have the deities as their only possession and only wealth. Gradually, as I came to think about the tremendous austerity there coupled with the unprecedented attraction of the Deities, I concluded that Krishna reciprocates with this intense one-pointed devotion by revealing His beauty and sweetness to a great degree not experienced elsewhere.

Jun 9 2006 Unending happiness:possible?

By Urmila Devi Dasi

Why do we desire a never-ending, ever-increasing happiness, a happiness not dependent on any experience of sadness, in a world that doesn't seem to afford such a phenomenon? In other words, if such happiness doesn't exist, why would anyone look for it?
