Hari Sauri das, Mayapura, IN: TOVP construction updateHere’s a few photos of the TOVP construction activity. Since the Gaura Purnima festival the site has been completely fenced off and noone except the contractors is allowed in. The large barn-like structure that has been used for pandals in the last few years has been de-constructed and two more pile drivers, making a total of four, are now on site.
Load testing is going on as the above structure shows. And below, this is the mechanism for measuring the load:
A construction of this size will require huge amounts of cement so we are setting up our own cement plant:
Here’s a couple of night shots:
In this next one you can see the trucks in the back ground behind the pile drivers as they begin to roll in:

There wasn't much sleep after the final show of the tour. A small group of us were up before sun rise. Madhava had the idea to see off Maharaja from Sakhi Rai's house but, in the end, we had to decide against it. We took a drive up the top of a nearby mountain. I gazed out over the countryside and Brisbane city, as we watched the sun appear over the coastline. I looked at the beautiful scene, only corrupted on one side by many large concrete, glass and steal structures. I could see that we still had so much work ahead and that we were setting the foundations for many years to come. The world was beautiful but it was struggling with some less beautiful distractions. We had breakfast at Madhava's house and loitered around in our exhaustion. Soon there were some phone exchanges. The majority of the group were going to go on an excursion to a water park, for one last outing together. I tagged along, for the car trip, only because it was in the direction I was heading. Much to the confusion of the driver, I had them drop me at a local train station, near to their final destination. I waved goodbye and waited on the platform. I was two or three stops from home and my mother was waiting on the other end. I came home to my much missed Vaisnava family. I was still very dazed and tired but I tried to tell them as much as I could about the great experiences of the last couple weeks. I fell asleep, early for a change, just because I couldn't keep my body up. I received calls and texts in the night - from devotees from the tour, who were still in the country or from devotees in the next countries, trying to get more information about their travel plans, before they arrived. Tuesday 16th, February 2010. I awoke and took my morning bath in the ocean. I hadn't swam in the ocean since before the tour and it was a much needed refreshment. I checked my mobile phone and found a half written text to Sadhu. He had wrote to me last night but I was so tired that I simply fell asleep while punching in the buttons. Today was dedicated to resting, as were many days to come. The next adventure was only looming around the corner. I would soon be struggling to work my way into the next mission. In the afternoon, I received some contact from Dominik, "tour is officially over for me. I just dropped the remaining devotees off at the airport." It was over indeed for the Aussie tour. I sat back, with some sorrow and happiness at heart. Now it was just time separating us from yet another journey. [I would just like to thank everyone, on planet ISKCON and on facebook, who have been following along on this Aussie Journey. It was a pleasure to write and I apologise for the lack of editing. We are understaffed here in the Maddy headquarters - we have one writer and only one editor (who is too busy writing to know anything about editing) and our total staff members equals only one. This tour diary totalled over 95,000 words, written in over 60 entries, making it the second largest singular writing works that I have been instrumental in accomplishing to date. I hope you gained something from reading - some humour, spirituality or maybe just a deeper glimpse into the framework of HH Indradyumna Swami's amazing project. I will try to continue to bring you updates on tours to come and may, if there is enough demand, rummage through old diary notes from my previous tours and write them up. Right now I'm looking to do some street sankirtana, and will post up anything that BDN will publish on their newsletter (from what I write and send in) and then Polish tour. I'm planning to go Radhadesh (Belgium, to study (in case you hadn't read that already) and so there may be some issues with visas. Hopefully I will not miss to much of the Polish tour on behalf of this and look forward to serving you through that time period. Thank you again for reading. I hope you are all well, wherever in the world you may be and I hope to see many of you soon. Hare Krsna.

Each week we will post a question to a panel of about two dozen clergy, laity and theologians, all of whom are based in Texas or are from Texas. They will chime in with their responses to the question of the week. And you, readers, will be able to respond to their answers through the comment box. In this piece for Politics Daily, the Dallas Morning News' Jeff Weiss did some digging into a Pew Center report about the religious identity of "millenials," which is the name for those Americans who are younger than 30. Weiss picked up first on this part of the report:
But then he noted this seemingly contradictory finding:
Weiss then reaches this conclusion: Which says to me that young adults are not losing faith, just unplugging from religious institutions at a rate unprecedented in U.S. history. One theory that has been advanced is that the disengagement has to do with the entanglement of conservative politics with religion. Weiss, for example, cites the work of Harvard professor Robert Putnam and Notre Dame professor David Campbell. They claim in a study that: "Young Americans are dropping out of religion at an alarming rate of 5-6 times the historic rate (30-40 percent have no religion today versus 5-10 percent a generation ago)...But youth's religious disaffection is largely due to discomfort with religiosity having been tied to conservative politics....We find that the increase was not connected to a loss of religious piety, and that it was connected to politics. In the 1990s many people who had weak attachments to religion and either moderate or liberal political views found themselves at odds with the conservative political agenda of the Christian Right and reacted by renouncing their weak attachment to organized religion." So, with that setup, here's this week's question: That's their take? What is yours? Assuming the Pew Center data is correct, why are young adults unplugging from religious institutions at such a high rate? Read on for our panelist' thoughts:
The nature of the self, the soul, is that it is eternal, full of happiness, and knowledge. But in our conditioned state of identifying the body as the self, our original nature is covered. Therefore, people in general will always have a hankering for substantial happiness and knowledge and those souls who are pious and intelligent seek these items from non-temporary sources. The cause of disinterest in religious institutions is that knowledge of God is generally not presented with a background of intelligent, sound philosophy and the teachers themselves do not emulate the teachings in action. One can only become a doctor by learning from an expert doctor in medical school. Books alone are not sufficient. Similarly, one can only be inspired to become a saint by the expert guidance of a teacher of saintly character. However, such saintly teachers who teach by example are a rarity in our modern instant gratification world.

I don't know much about this picture. I will make an imaginative meditation about it, and if someone sees it and knows more about it they can write to me. I think it is one of the earliest pictures of Prabhupada taken in New York City. I think it was taken before he moved to 26 Second Avenue, which was in the summer of 1966. This looks like a bitter winter picture taken when Prabhupada was living alone. The neighborhood looks so trashy, it may be the Bowery. Where did he get the long black coat? He didn't have enough money to buy an expensive winter overcoat in a men's clothing store. It might have been a donation or a purchase in a thrift store. The same with the black shoes. He looks very somber. Not lighthearted. We know in the winter of 1965–66 he did not make much progress in his preaching, and he was poor. He was often thinking of returning to India and would consult Scindia steamship lines to find out when they had another ship sailing back to India. He might have been thinking of that. But he was also in correspondence with a very wealthy man in India, asking him to donate to purchase an expensive building in Manhattan to start a Radha-Krishna temple. Those negotiations never got very far. He wants to stay and start something in America. If only Krishna will give him a place to stay and hold kirtanas and give lectures and there he could start a movement. He has seen how the yogi, Dr Mishra, has gathered some followers, and he had attended a well received performance by an Indian dancer. There is interest in spiritual India in America. He is writing his Srimad-Bhagavatam. If he could get some help typing and some interest in publishing. His books are not selling quickly in the bookstores where he has placed them on commission. He does not look very physically strong as he walks down the street with his cane. But he is patient and determined, humble and fixed on Krishna. The cars roll by. He is completely fixed on Krishna and that is the most important of the twenty-six qualities of a devotee. Please Krishna, give him hope, give him an opening, or we will all die waiting. • Email to a friend • Related • •HH.

Satsvarupa das Goswami: Directed Free WriteIt helps to have a topic in mind. Krishna climbed into the tunnel redeeming His reputation. The rumor was that He had stolen the jewel. When He entered the cave He saw the child of Jambavan playing with the jewel. He went to take the jewel, and the child's father came to fight Krishna. They fought for many days. Finally Krishna wore out the king of the bears who recognized that Krishna must be the Supreme Personality of Godhead. He submitted to Him and gave Him his daughter Jambavati to be His wife. She was delighted to accept Krishna as her husband, and He agreed. He then exited from the cave, and His reputation was restored. This was just one of many times that Krishna won a wife by direct combat. The wives wore a stripe of blood in the part of their hair to indicate they had been won in battle. The Lord won Rukmini that way also by kidnapping her from Sisupala at her wedding. She had written a letter to Krishna asking that He come to rescue her from the man she did not want to marry. Krishna was touched by her devotional letter, and He rushed to the wedding on a chariot and took her away. Her brother Rukmi pursued Krishna, but Krishna captured him and cut off his hair in different places. Rukmi was completely humiliated and retreated. Krishna took Rukmini for a grand wedding at Dvaraka. It is very puzzling that Lord Krishna married all these wives and left the gopis lamenting in Vrndavana. He lived in Dvaraka with 16,108 wives in 16,108 palaces. The gopis withered away in Vrndavana in separation from Krishna. He also lamented in separation from them, and when He was with His wives at night He would call out the names of the gopis. He did it to increase the devotion of the gopis for Him. Radharani suffered the most. Her suffering was like being burned in a slow burning fire. It was worse than the sufferings in the hellish planets. But She just wanted Krishna to be happy. She said, "You may crush me in Your embrace or You may make me brokenhearted by not being present before me. After all, You are a debauchee. But You are my worshipable Lord unconditionally." Lord Caitanya came to this world just to taste the mood of Radharani in separation from Krishna. He said ayi nanda tanuja kinkaram. • Email to a friend • Related • •Srila Prabhupada's Letters1966 March 13: "Saptami. In the evening two ladies and Mr. Susman came.

Should we think of Krsna's forms and pastimes while chanting japa? We should not do anything artificial. As Prabhupada has said, the chanting is not an artificial imposition on the mind. Prabhupada has recommended that if we just hear the chanting then the time will come when simultaneously we will think of the form of Krsna. To concentrate on the sound may seem routine. Of course, that is only our neophyte stage.  • Email to a friend • Related • •Manoj, Melbourne, AU: 193. Mayapur 2010 – Dayal meetup Meeting up with devotee friends Fresh from his return of the Australian leg of the Le Carnival Spirituel show of His Holiness Indradyumna Swami, Dina Dayal prabhu was soaking up the sun, enjoying the transcendental nature of Mayapur and excited about his constant association with devotees at the holy dham. Unfortunately, he had sprained his ankle during practice around the time I met him. Nevertheless, the pain was put aside and we enjoyed a superb conversation on life, serving vaishnavas, the urgency of taking Krishna Consciousness to everyone and how fortunate we were to be at Mayapur. Both of us felt great at the end. Few days later he gave me many mp3 lectures to listen to. Looking forward to seeing him return to Melbourne next year.       • Email to a friend • Related • •Yoga of Ecology, Bhakta Chris, USA: Blessed Are "The Peacemakers" A message from our friend Adiraja (author of the world famous Hare Krishna Book Of Vegetarian Cooking) about his recent project:
Presently I'm trying to secure a beautiful 106-acre farm here in Michigan. Besides being a Vedic Village Educational Farm project, it will also serve to provide produce for a restaurant we plan to start next year. I'm looking for an "Angel Investor' who may be a financial partner. Srila Prabhuapda said people must eat prasada in order to understand the philosophy, so it makes senses that we ought to emphasize pradasa distribution, which this eventual worldwide chain of restaurants will do. Anyone can email me (tommilano108@yahoo.com) or reach me on my cell 313 434-5121. Vision and Mission Peacemakers embraces the vision of making the healthiest food easily affordable and accessible to the general public. The company's mission is to develop a worldwide chain of vegan fast food restaurants, each supplied by its own farm.
Opportunity One fifth of Americans eat fast food every day, generating over 110 billion dollars this year alone. With more people eating fast food, and restaurant franchises popping up everywhere, this industry is booming and shows no signs of slowing down. However, because most fast food is commonly recognized to have poor nutritional quality, many say we're a fast food nation slowly eating ourselves to death. At the same time, there's an upwelling of interest in the public to eat more healthy food. Most people say they would eat healthier, but only if it didn't cost more.
Market Strategy Peacemakers will be the nation's first chain of healthy fast food restaurants, selling delicious locally grown organic food close to current fast food prices. The restaurants will offer vegan (plant-based) burgers, sandwiches, soups, salads, fresh juices, smoothies, desserts, freshly baked goods, and ethnic meals, including raw/living-food options. Both the restaurants and farms will be beautifully designed, use as much green technology as possible, attract plenty of volunteer help, and be educational centers that teach about restoring our physical health and the health of the planet.
Business Strategy This business model of restaurants and farms working together to minimize production costs, while educating and empowering people to make smart food choices, will enable Peacemakers to provide healthy meals at very reasonable prices. Franchising this restaurant/farm concept will be a great service to the public and a very lucrative business. The combination of effective marketing, expert management, along with efficient food production and preparation, will enable this company to quickly achieve significant market share.
Financial Goals In implementing this business model, Peacemakers anticipates generating $10 million in revenues by 2015, with $5 million of net profit. Annual revenue growth during the 2011-2015 timeframe is projected to average at least 25% per year.
Funds Sought and Uses To establish its first farm in 2010 and its first restaurant in 2011, Peacemakers is currently seeking investment financing of 1.1 million dollars, $150,000 to be completed by June 1 and $950,000 to be completed by Dec 1.  • Email to a friend • Related • •Sita-pati dasa, AU: Rama Navami in Brisbane H.H.
