Arizona Governor issues a letter welcoming celebration of Sri Krishna Janmashtami

By Janice K Brewer

Submitted by Prayag Narayan Misra

“As Governor of the State of Arizona, I would like to welcome everyone to annual observance of Sri Krishna Janmashatmi.

Sri Krishna, revered as the Supreme Personality of Godhead by Hindus, appeared five thousand years ago and spoke The Bhagvad-Gita, which is treated as the best treatise on spirituality by religious clergies and philosophers all around the world. Sri Krishna Janmashtami is a worldwewide festival, celebrated to observe Sri Krishna and to promote peace,love, and joy among communities, nations, and people.

I would also like to commend ISKCON of Phoenix, for organizing this celebration of Sri Krishna Janmashtami.

Once again,welcome and best wishes for a successful celebration!

Sincerely,

Janice K Brewer
Governor

Samadhi Ceremony held for His Grace Sripad Aindra Prabhu - pics












By Adi Kesava (das) KKS (Vrindavan - IN)

The 15th of July 2010 commemorated 30 days since the passing of His Grace Sripad Aindra Prabhu. His room was just renovated covered with fresh cow dung. All the deities were moved back in and a ceremony was held establishing his Samadhi. Some of his god brothers were present; they glorified his services and activities. Gopal Prabhu on behalf of the devotees of the 24 hour kirtan department placed his sacred ashes into Samadhi and also part took in performing all the formalities led by our head pujari H. G Mukunda Datta Prabhu. A fire sacrifice was held where we offered
108 Mahamantras and then Vaisnava Homa was performed. After the formalities were completed all the devotees present took a small procession down to Mukunda Datta prabhus house where a bhoga offering was done and the Mahaprasad distributed. Soon after arriving in Vrindavan in the 80’s Sripad Aindra prabhu moved into room no 89 of the Brahmacari Ashram and continued to stay there for 24 years. His room depicted the Vrindavan mood with cow dung art on the walls which was done by him, Yamuna clay on the floor and remnants of the original Tamal tree from the temple courtyard. He only left his room to come for his kirtan services, Deity Dressing services, to purchase bhoga for his Deities, going to the bathroom and very rarely for other purposes. Most of his time was spent in his room chanting many rounds, studying Srila Prabhupada’s books and the Goswami literatures as well as performing his personal Deity worship. It was the desire of H. G Sripad Aindra prabhu that his Samadhi be nearby his Deities and that the worship of over 2000 Saligrama Sheilas, Nitai Saci Suta and his many other Deities go on as he was doing. His presence is very much felt in his room and he will continue to reside there to inspire everyone especially the devotees of the 24 kirtan department to keep the blazing fire of Harinaam Sankirtan Yajna burning.

New Vrindaban Revives Its Agricultural Roots

New Vrindaban Communications: “When New Vrindaban was founded, we used ox carts for transportation, just like people use in rural India. We grew our own food and had our own dairy herd. Later, however,” said Malati Dasi, one of New Vrindaban’s GBCs, “the focus of the community shifted away from agriculture.”

There is currently a new wave of interest in reviving the agricultural roots of New Vrindaban, a move which is supported by the community’s local leadership as well as the top leadership of the world-wide Hare Krishna movement. “The current petroleum-based economic system is viable for 50 years at the most. Someone needs to create an economic model to fill the impending vacuum,” said Malati. “A major part of New Vrindaban’s mission is to create, by example, the next economic model.

The Hare Krishna movement around the world is making headway in the field of sustainable agriculture. Therefore, New Vrindaban is fortunate to have access to some of the world’s experts. Earlier this year, the community hosted Sivarama Swami from Hungary, Bhakti Raghava Swami from India, and Dhanesvara Dasa from the Ukraine. Sivarama Swami is a co-founder of Hungary’s Eco-Valley, a Hare Krishna community in Hungary which is practically self-sufficient regarding agricultural products as well as electricity. Eco-Valley draws 30,000 visitors a year in eco-tourism, and economists have found that the standard of living in Eco-Valley is 150% the standard of living of the surrounding community. Bhakti Raghava Swami, originally from Canada, is now based in southern India where his team is researching and reviving India’s ancient agricultural techniques in areas such as irrigation and pressing oil from seed. New Vrindaban also hosted Dhanesvara Dasa, a member of Ukraine’s Gitagrad Community and author of the book Lessons in Spiritual Economics.

“New Vrindaban’s next public festival is a celebration of agriculture and agriculturalists,” said Malati. On Tuesday, August 24, New Vrindaban will celebrate Balarama Purnima, or the day on which Lord Balarama (the elder brother of Lord Krishna) descended from the spiritual world to the material world. All events are free and open to the public.

This festival is based on the ancient Vedic scripture, Srimad-Bhagavatam, which was written approximately 5,000 years ago in Sanskrit, the oldest language known to mankind. Over the centuries, India’s greatest mystic sages and pundits wrote voluminous commentaries on Srimad-Bhagavatam. The first English translation and commentary were written by His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, the Founder-Acharya of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON). Although Prabhupada opened more than 100 temples and centers around the world and initiated over five thousand disciples, Prabhupada said Srimad-Bhagavatam would be his “lasting contribution to the world.”

According to Srimad-Bhagavatam, Lord Krishna and Lord Balarama spend their childhood in Vrindaban, the most exalted place in the spiritual world. When the two brothers descend to the planet Earth, they descend to Vrindaban located in north central India, which is an exact replica of its celestial counter-part. It was Prabhupada’s instruction that New Vrindaban in Marshall County, WV, be developed as another replica of its namesake.

“Vrindaban is a place of natural beauty with forests and rolling hills, just like West Virginia. Vrindaban is an agricultural community, which is why Lord Balarama carries a plow,” explained Malati.

“In New Vrindaban, our model for sustainable agriculture is based on Srimad-Bhagavatam and it begins with Lord Balarama and his plow,” said Malati. “We want New Vrindaban to truly reflect the spiritual world.”

New Vrindaban will celebrate Balarama Purnima on Tuesday, August 24. It is an evening event, from 6:00 – 8:00 pm, followed by a fabulous vegetarian feast. All events are free and open to the public.

On December 3 – 6, New Vrindaban will be hosting North America’s first annual “Farms, Food & Faith” conference. The conference will address issues such as hunger, community building, renewable energy, and small-scale organic farming.

New Vrindaban Community is located south of Moundsville – Wheeling, off Route 250. For more information about Balarama Purnima or about the “Farms, Food and Faith” conference, contact Malati Dasi at

Don’t miss the excellent opportunity to be showered upon with the blessings of Lord Krishna and the holy devotees and enjoy the delicious Krishna-prasadam in the Holy land of Vrindavan.

A few messages from the holy Bhagavatam on the importance of attending the Janmasthami festivals and in hearing the Bhagavatha Katha and eating the Prasadam offered to the Lord.

A brief narration from the holy Bhagavatam (7.14. 17)

na hy agni-mukhato ‘yam vai bhagavan sarva-yajna-bhuk

ijyeta havisa rajan yatha vipra-mukhe hutaih

Translation by His Divine Grace Srila Prabhupapada: The Supreme Personality of Godhead, Sri Krishna, is the enjoyer of sacrificial offerings. Yet although His Lordship eats the oblations offered in the fire, my dear King, He is still more satisfied when nice food made of grains and ghee is offered to Him through the mouths of qualified brahmanas.

Lord Krshna tells to Uddhava in Bhagavatam (11.27.44-47) how to worship Him celebrating the festivals like Janmasthami :

upagayan grnan nrtyan karmny abhinayan mama

mat-kathah sravayan shrunvan muhurtam kshaniko bhavet

stavair uccavacaih stotraih pauranaih prakrtair api

stutva prasida bhagavann iti vandeta danda-vat

shiro mat-padayoh krtva bahubhyam ca parasparam

prapannam pahi mam isha bhitam mrtyu-graharnavat

iti shesam maya dattam shirasy adhaya sadaram

udvasayec ced udvasyam jyotir jyotisi tat punah

Translation by His Divine Grace Srila Prabhupapada: Singing along with others, chanting loudly and dancing, acting out My transcendental pastimes, and hearing and telling stories about Me, the devotee should for some time absorb himself in such festivity. The devotee should offer homage to the Lord with all kinds of hymns and prayers, both from the Puranas and from other ancient scriptures, and also from ordinary traditions. Praying, “O Lord, please be merciful to me! “he should fall down flat like a rod to offer his obeisances. Placing his head at the feet of the Deity, he should then stand with folded hands before the Lord and pray, “O my Lord, please protect me, who am surrendered unto You. I am most fearful of this ocean of material existence, standing as I am in the mouth of death.” Praying in this way, the devotee should respectfully place upon his head the remnants I offer to him. And if the particular Deity is meant to be sent away at the end of the worship, then this should be performed, the devotee once again placing the light of the Deity’s presence inside the light of the lotus within his own heart.

This is a golden opportunity for all devotees of Lord Krshna to visit the beautiful Krshna Balaram Temple at Vrindavan, where the Lord is always present and enchanting everyone with His scintillating lilas with Radharani. Anyone who visits this place will be blessed by Radharani and it will enable the person to easily attain Shyamsunder. Anyone who misses may wait for long to receive another opportunity to meet the Lord on this auspicious occasion of Janmashtami. We stand out to invite you to this glorious place and be blessed in life, for it will award you forever an eternal life in association with Radha-Krishna and participate in their mesmerising nitya-lilas together with the eternal Gopis and Gopas in Goloka Vrindavan.

Lakshman (das) Vrindavan (IN): A wonderful opportunity awaits you to visit the holiest land of Vrindavan Dham and drink the sweetest honey of Bhagavat Katha from one of the celebrated veteran speakers


Simply, a Gita for everyone

Ranchor Prime: Srila Prabhupada gave us Bhagavad Gita As It Is, an advanced treatise on spiritual life that defines Krishna consciousness for us and succeeding generations. But he wanted his followers to pass on that same knowledge in a simple way accessible to friends and spiritual seekers
