H.G. Sankarshan das Adhikari, USA: Friday 2 July 2010--Change the Picture of Krishna--and--Sun-god and Moon-god Are Superstitions?One of our readers wrote me recently suggesting that we regularly change the above picture of Krishna for the sake of variety. Of course we understand that variety is the mother of enjoyment, and thus we regularly change the picture which comes below this column. But in another vein we should not think that the seeing the same picture of Krishna every... ISKCON News.com: Emotional Graduation Ceremony at Bhaktivedanta College, Radhadesh

They have nothing to do with spiritual knowledge or godly religious life. They are so blind that they cannot see anything beyond the jurisdiction of the subtle mind, intelligence or ego, but they are very much proud of their advancement in knowledge, science and material prosperity. They can risk their lives to become a dog or hog just after leaving the present body, for they have completely lost sight of the ultimate aim of life. >>> Ref.

Rupa Madhurya das, TX, USA: Bhajan - New Year's Eve 2010 - Mukunda Datta das - Bhaja Hure Mana - 21/22Mukunda Datta das singing the bhajan "Bhaja Hure Mana" during the New Year's Eve 12hr bhajan.

Satsvarupa das Goswami: 4844:20 A.M.I'm writing from Sastra's bedroom in his house in Delaware. Last night I got to bed late and didn't wake up until Yadunandana Maharaja woke me at 3:30. So I have only chanted four rounds. I chanted them in peace. Chanting japa brings a mood of peace to the mind and quells all your anxieties when you do it nicely. These first rounds this morning were chanted without any pain in the head and were chanted rapidly. I was rushing a bit to get them done to make up for lost time, which is not so desirable. Nevertheless, I distinctly heard the syllables and concentrated my mind on hearing. While at Sastra's house, I browsed through recent editions of Back to Godhead magazine. In one there was a letter by a reader which mentioned japa. He wrote, "I would like to compliment BTG for the January/February edition, which was one of the best I have ever read. As far as I am concerned, japa is the anchor of bhakti-yoga. The article 'Creating a Culture of Pure Chanting' was much appreciated." I agree with this statement that "japa is the anchor of bhakti-yoga," and it certainly is so for myself. I like to write something about japa every day and offer it as a help to my journal readers. Since there is not always time to say so much on a daily basis, I would like to recommend my latest book Japa Transformations. It is published now and is being distributed, and you can order one by writing to sales@gnpress.org (with your name and full address). The book contains many statements of strivings for improved japa and actual attainment of better states. I was able to write some realizations of good achievements in japa. Japa Transformations also contains reflections on Radha and Krishna, who are the goal of our chanting. It is good to chant H.H. Satsvarupa das Goswami: Arriving at VrndavanaPrabhupada SmaranamSrila Prabhupada is arriving at Vrndavana during the early stages of construction of the Krishna-Balarama Mandira. Dhananjaya Prabhu is still the temple president, Gopala Krishna Prabhu is still a grhastha and Harikesa Maharaja is still Prabhupada's secretary, before Prabhupada sent him to develop Northern Europe. Prabhupada's disciples eagerly crowd behind him, hoping to get some darsana time with their spiritual master. Prabhupada's residential rooms were the first part of the temple completed, and so he used to visit and encourage the devotees and patiently oversee as the money came in from his world sankirtana parties, and as the laborers gradually chipped away at the marble and worked with cement toward building the kirtana hall, altars and domes. Prabhupada's grand plan was to complete three magnificent temples in India during his lifetime, in Vrndavana, Mayapur and Bombay. In a Srimad-Bhagavatam purport, he describes how Krishna fulfills the desires of His devotees. Speaking indirectly of himself, he wrote that once there was a barren field in Raman-reti, Vrndavana, but a devotee desired, "Let there be a temple," and a beautiful temple was built. Prabhupada did not live long enough to see the opening of the Bombay temple, but it was well underway (he insisted on moving into his residential suite even before it was completed), and he had the full satisfaction of participating in the opening of the Krishna Balarama Mandira on Rama Navami in 1975. At the Gaura Purnima festival in Mayapur in 1975, he announced in a lecture in the large first temple building (the vast plans for Mayapur are still developing) that the prediction of Bhaktivinoda Thakura had come true, and Europeans and Americans had joined with their Bengali godbrothers to chant Hare Krishna and Jaya Sacinandana. Prabhupada pushed for the construction of the grand temples in India so that his worldwide disciples could come to India and gain inspiration by residing in the dhamas. And he also wanted to revitalize Krishna consciousness in India by making palatial buildings that would attract the masses and the elite of India and divert them from their feverish materialism and lack of pure worship and education. His disciples and granddisciples are continuing his legacy of maintaining and developing temples in India and establishing ISKCON as a major force of cultural and religious influence in the country.

Life has been poignant H.H. Satsvarupa das Goswami: Ecstatic Outdoor KirtanaFree WriteHere are three young people joining in ecstatic outdoor kirtana. It appears to be a rural setting at a Ratha-yatra site. It reminds me of the first outdoor chanting of Hare Krishna in America, which was instigated by Srila Prabhupada and his followers in 1966 in Tompkins Square Park on the Lower East Side. Prabhupada took his group of about a dozen devotees on consecutive Sundays and chanted for three hours in the afternoon. He played constantly on a one-headed bongo drum, sitting down on an old Oriental rug and loudly leading the singing. This was before his stroke, which he suffered in 1967, and he was still very strong and healthy, not showing much sign of old age. We were all new devotees and a bit shy to chant in public, but under his shelter we danced and chanted before a gathering crowd of people. In the years that followed, Prabhupada induced many hundreds of people to follow the Ratha-yatra carts at Golden Gate Park in San Francisco, and they all chanted for hours in procession. Since then many temples have opened, and devotees go out into the streets of many cities and hold harinama sankirtana. Sometimes onlookers just stare and people walk by and try to ignore the chanters. There have been occasions when police have stopped the kirtanas and declared it to be a disturbance of the peace. But it is always wonderful when onlookers join the singing and give up their inhibitions and feel the bliss of the holy names. With the popularity of yoga and Eastern meditation in the West, people are becoming more inclined to experiment with chanting the holy names. The people in this picture appear to be tasting the nectar for which we are always anxious. ISKCON News.com: ISKCON Celebrates Annual Ratha-Yatra festival In Guayana, South America

Dandavats.com: European Brahmacari Convention 2010By Sutapa Dasa Think of the Hare Krishna movement, and one of the first images that comes to mind is a group of bright-faced young men with freshly shaven heads, swaying in saffron robes to the sounds of drums and hand cymbals. It's hard to forget. In the late 1960s and '70s, inspired by the dedication and devotion of Srila Prabhupada, thousands of young men dedicated themselves to the brahmacari asrama, a monastic life of selfless service Dandavats.com: WSN May 2010 - World Sankirtan NewsletterBy Vijaya das When distributing in Vancouver recently, I approached a man with his teenage son and his eleven-year-old daughter. As I was showing him the Bhagavad-gita he said to me, "Jehovah's Witness?" Jaya Kesava Das, USA: GUTSAnother day in my internal little world. Today I contemplate the phrase "being convinced that Krsna is there" Really, that's quite embarrassing for a spirit soul. I mean have we really dug that deep into illusion to now have to ask ourselves does God exist? And then write big big books and articles on it? Especially when you write a book that tells people, go find the answers for yourself, don't listen to anyone but your inner instinct or inner child. Then the first class "idiom", so as not to use the other word, tells you, well this book I read said that you shouldn't listen to anyone and you should go find things out yourself.... contradiction bells ring for me. You get the picture, don't listen to any one, but listen to me- its called blind leading the blind and you know they're gonna fall into a ditch. Knowledge comes through an authoritative system, and when applied according to the instructions and culture that system provides, I guarantee you a result; or at least a glimpse of one. Still don't get it, ok- a doctor learns medicine from another doctor, not a lawyer, a mice learns to flee cats and other creatures by watching its parents flee cats and other creatures. So in this world, every species of life learns to carry on a culture by learning from higher authorities. Except God realization- that you have to do yourself, by reading my self help book for only $24.99 wherein I tell you not to listen to me; but too late, you can't get your full money back, so join the cheater race by selling that book to a used book store or at a yard sale. If a person has a fever, how does he know the pill he just took worked? Well, he followed the label that said take two with water, and after sometime he feels a normal temperature. Or if he's over zealous, and wants to get well immediately, he takes six or ten,which then puts him in another state known as high. Ok, back to does God exist or not..... Well, there's a book written by some guy these Hares claim to be an incarnation of God, it has instrucitons on how to understand God, and stay on the platform so that even when you're having the worse or hair days, you're not moved from the truth. Which means the truth must be something you're experiencing, not something you're fantasizing about. Yes bad hair days can be quite draining emotionally and you fell like Rumpelstiltskin instead of prince charming. But you know there's always a comb, a brush or a buzzer somewhere to fix it. So am I convinced that Krsna is there? Wouldn't you like to know. Come traveling and giving out this knowledge and see some incidences. Then we'll compare notes. (thats as far as I got in my mental class today :) ) Mayapur Online: Sri Vakreshvara Pandit appearanceIn another few days, we will be celebrating Ratha Yatra of Lord Jagannatha. Caitanya Caritamrta explains in detail how Lord Caitanya appointed groups with singers and dancers to perform Kirtan during Ratha Yatra. One of the dancers was Vakreshvara Pandit. Today is his auspicious appearance day. Vakreshvara Pandit’s worshippable deity is Sri Sri Radha-Kanta, whom he worshipped in Kasi Misra’s house, which was also the residence of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu (Gambhira). These Deities are still being worshipped there to this day. H.H.
