H.G. Sankarshan das Adhikari, USA: Thursday 5 August 2010--Using Your Talents for Krishna--and--Challenge: Your Approach is ...Whatever talent or ability we have is a gift from Krishna. In fact Krishna directly declares in the Bhagavad-gita that He is the ability in man. This means that we should use these talents and abilities in His service. The more we thus glorify Krishna, the more we become glorious.

I tried to chant quickly and was able to do so without any pain. I paid attention to the mantras and accumulated twelve rounds by 3:30 when Baladeva from Trinidad came up. I stated yesterday how I can not expect my chanting to be in a raganuga platform and so I accepted my lowly lot but put my effort into paying attention to the sounds of the names. I also kept other thoughts out of my mind and tried to be aware of the power of the holy names. Chanting at a rapid • Email to a friend • •H.H. Satsvarupa das Goswami: Indian PreachingPrabhupada Smaranam
Prabhupada is preaching in a borrowed apartment in Bombay (you can pretty safely guess it's Bombay because Giriraja Prabhu is present). It is summer and he is wearing no shirt. The white sheet covering the floor is filled with respectable looking Indian gentlemen. Prabhupada's first and last instruction from his spiritual master was to speak in English to the Western people. He did this magnificently by going to America in his seventieth year and creating the Hare Krishna explosion. The movement grew within a few years until there were centers in many American and Canadian and European cities and in Australia. Then in 1972 Prabhupada personally added to his guru's instruction and came back to India to preach to his countrymen. He had tried reaching the Indians prior to his going to America but he did not have success. He found them too absorbed in politics and materialism; in a Back to Godhead article he wrote in India, he said his countrymen suffered from the disease of "No Time" for spiritual interest. But when he returned to India in 1972, bringing his American disciples with him, he created a sensation in Bombay and other cities. The Indians were astounded that the Americans had taken to Krishna consciousness and turned out to be well-behaved Vasnavas. Prabhupada affectionately referred to his disciples as "dancing white elephants" and used them in kirtanas to attract the Indians. Now he was able to catch their attraction and they attended pandalas in tens of thousands. He strongly preached to them that they had neglected the bona fide message of Bhagavad-gita and of their worshipable Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Who had appeared on Indian soil. He told them the privilege and opportunity of being born in Bharata-varsa. He liked to quote the verse from Caitanya Bhagavata that the people of India should learn about Krishna and do good to the people in other parts of the world by spreading Krishna consciousness. Prabhupada's Hare Krishna movement, the International Society for Krishna consciousness, is now one of the most influential religious forces in India with thousands of congregational and initiated members and dozens of temples. Thus Prabhupada doubled the order of his spiritual master and delivered both the people of the west and the east. • Email to a friend • •H.H.

Satsvarupa das Goswami: Amalananda's VisitHealing house
Amalananda stopped by the healing house for a few days. He lived at the Gita Nagari country dhama in Pennsylvania but sometimes visited his sister in Boston. Whenever he goes to Boston he always stops in Upstate New York because he has friendly relations with Ali, Swami Rupa, and Mother Kaulini. He is presently in a serious health crisis. He's had two heart-attacks within the last year, both of which required emergency treatment at the hospital. He's been advised to stop work but this requires a major change in life for Amalananda, who has always been a workaholic. For many years he has operated a flower stand on the streets in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, and worked long hours. He had childhood polio and his body is shaped at a slight curve and he carries a cane. He was married but his wife left him for another man, leaving him with an unfinished house that he had to sell. Amalananda's flower business used to be prosperous and he gave all of the profits to Gita Nagari and the Boston temple without keeping hardly anything for himself. By choice he lives in a tent for eight months of the year at Gita Nagari, sleeping with a three-legged dog named Traipad. He used to work early in the morning and go to the temple and dress the Deities on the altar. He then attended part of the morning program, leading the singing of the guru-puja and then drove to work at Harrisburg. He would clean the pots and mop off the floor at night after festivals. Now he has had to stop all f that. He is so well-known in Harrisburg that his picture has been in the news paper several times and everyone knows him as "Amal the flowerman" . After working for about nine hours he would drive back to Gita Nagari. The devotees often wouldn't cook anything for him and so he would pick food out of the garbage or look for some leftovers left by guests. Ali asked him, "What is it like now? You work for a few hours and then you have to rest?" "No it's more mental," Said Amalananda in his humble mood. "When I work we loose money and I prefer to be alone and try to figure it out." What he's trying to figure out is that his body is finished and he really shouldn't be working at all. Amalananda has taken to reading more. He used to read occasionally, out of duty. But he says now he reads Prabhupada's books and Swami Rupa's books and enjoys them. He's not been able to stop work entirely, but by working he is risking his life. • Email to a friend • •Bharatavarsa.net: Book distribution seminar: A Christian Pastor Becomes a DevoteeAbout a month and a half back I posted a story about how when I was going shop to shop in Lilongwe, Malawi, a pastor who worked as a manager in a car showroom bought four books from me and expressed interest in buying a Bhagavad-gita later. Well, I went back to see him periodically to find out how he was doing as he read through the books. He went through them very methodically -- highlighting, underlining, and marking many sections. He would ask me many questions about what he had read. About a month back I sold him the Bhagavad-gita, and he felt bliss to get it. I was surprised, because not only was the Gita new to him but he was from a culture that was not at all based on the Bhagavad-gita -- Malawian-African. And yet he still was so keen to read the Gita, and gradually he picked up on the philosophy and would ask me many questions. I found out that he had been born in a Catholic family and that in his teens he had begun to ask questions about God. When he couldn't get the answers, he became a Jehovah's Witness and then a Pentecostal. He told me how about fourteen years ago he had gotten a "call" from inside, which took the form of an intense desire to go deeper into religion. His friends advised him to become a preacher (pastor). He confided in me that although he went so deep into Christianity he felt something was missing. He also lamented how new ideas concerning "gayism," feminism, and abortion are entering the church. Finally he said, "I think what is missing is . . ." and he pointed to the Bhagavad-gita. I was surprised that this Christian preacher was drawn so much to the Bhagavad-gita and to Srila Prabhupada's books in general. Gradually he gave up drinking tea and, for the last three weeks, meat. He said, "After reading about the evils of meat-eating in 'The Laws of Nature,' I can't stand the sight it anymore." Once, after he had read all the small books, I asked him if he wanted some more books, and he told me that he was reading the small books all over again and was getting deeper meaning from them. I thought he might be lying and that he just didn't want any more books, but when I went to visit him in his office I saw him reading "The Laws of Nature" right there at his desk. Now he keeps telling me, "I don't know how to tell my congregation all these things, or whether I should." I just told him to take it slowly and first become strong himself. He has eight children and gave the youngest one (an eighteen-year-old son) one of the books to read. He liked it so much that he loaned it to his friends. Once I met him on a Monday and he told me that as he delivered his sermon in the church the day before his mind was on the Bhagavad-gita. The pastor is chanting one round every day and adjusting his diet. He's seriously considering becoming a Hare Krishna. In truth I haven't met him much. This all happened due to his reading and accepting with faith Srila Prabhupada's instructions. I pray to Caitanya Mahaprabhu that the pastor be guided to the path of sanatana-dharma.

This short talk took place after kirtan had already been going on in Pancha Tattva temple for hours. The previous kirtans were led by devotees like Radhanatha Swami and Lokanatha Swami. No one wanted to stop, especially because Aindra was about to lead the kirtan! Here is the link to the few words that Aindra spoke before he led us in hours of sankirtan. There is nothing like harinam sankirtan. I think that this clip can give us a glimpse at 1) how important it is to endeavor to constantly engage in harinam sankirtan 2) how blissfull it is…kirtans only increase in bliss 3) how important and influential Aindra is to our movement 4) how Aindra was such an influential preacher of harinam sankirtan.
Devotees in the temple: Gauranga! Gauranga! Gauranga! Gauranga! Gauranga! Gauranga! Gauranga! Gauranga! Gauranga! Gauranga! AIndra: Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare
Aindra again: Please rememberWorlwide ISKCON Grassroots…that means grassroots…don't wait for the big guns to get it together, the grassroots should do it grassroots Namsankirtan Revolution...if you do not know what grassroots means look it up in the dictionary...it is all of you!...those other than the power elite are the grassroots....we have to get it together and understand the philosophy of Krishna consciousness....the philosophy of Krishna consciousness is to chant and dance as much as possible in this human form of life...to get krishna prema (ecstatic love of God) and go back home back to godhead...the demoniac corporate governments are not going to slow down to wait for us to get it together…the demons are going mad, while we have the chance, in any part of the world we should take advantage and help push on nama sankirtan…it is on the upswing…be part of it!...part of the solution…not part of the problem.

This past week, California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger signed a bill that will essentially prohibit, starting in 2015, any egg from being sold in the state that comes from caged hens. This bill became law 20 months after a majority of California voters approved Proposition 2, making it clear that concern for the living conditions of livestock is no longer the province of animal rights activists alone. Recognizing how widespread concern about the humane treatment of farm animals has become, the California Milk Advisory Board has recently ramped up its 10-year "Happy Cow" advertising campaign with a new series of ads proclaiming that "Great milk comes from Happy Cows. Happy Cows come from California." These ads are now being shown across the nation. Unfortunately, there are a few problems with the ads. For one, they weren't filmed in California at all. They were filmed in Auckland, New Zealand. And that's just the tip of the iceberg. Current Milk Board ads claim that 99 percent of the state's dairy farms are family owned. But in order to arrive at this figure, they count as "dairy farms" rural households with one or two cows. Meanwhile, there are corporate-owned dairies in the San Joaquin Valley which have 15,000 or 20,000 cows. It is these far larger enterprises that produce the vast majority of California's milk. My concern, let me emphasize, is not with small-scale family farms. I have no problem with the many hard-working families who treat their cows well, take care of the land and try to bring a healthy product to market. My problem is with the much larger agribusiness enterprises, the factory farms to whom the animals in their care are nothing but sources of revenue. Thanks to the practices they employ, the amount of milk produced yearly by the average California cow is nearly 3,000 pounds more than the national average. This increased production may seem like a good thing, but it is achieved at great cost to the animals. The cows are routinely confined in extremely unnatural conditions, injected with hormones, fed antibiotics, and in general treated with all the compassion of four legged milk pumps. Roughly one third of California's cows suffer from painful udder infections, and more than half suffer from other infections and illnesses. Although genetically engineered bovine growth hormone is banned in many countries including Canada, Australia, New Zealand and much of the European Union, it is widely used in California's largest dairy operations to increase milk production. Unfortunately, it also increases udder infections and lameness in the cows, markedly raises the amount of pus found in milk, and may increase the risk of cancer in consumers. The natural lifespan of a dairy cow is about 25 years, but one-fourth of California's dairy cows are slaughtered each year (typically at four or five years old), because they've become crippled from painful foot infections or calcium depletion, or simply because they can no longer produce the unnaturally high amounts of milk required of them. The Milk Board ads present the California dairy industry as a bucolic enterprise that operates in lush, grassy pastures. Some of the ads employ the slogan "So much grass, so little time." But California's dairy industry is concentrated in the dry and barren Central Valley. Here, the cows are typically kept in overcrowded, dirt feedlots. Some never see a blade of grass in their entire lives. The ads show calves in meadows talking happily to their mothers. But the calves born to California dairy cows typically spend only 24 hours with their mothers, and some do not even get that much. Here is a video that reveals what actually happens to the calves:  The large-scale factory dairies in California's Central Valley produce more excrement than the entire human population of Texas. About 20 million Californians (65 percent of the state's population) rely on drinking water that is threatened by contamination from nitrates and other poisons stemming from dairy manure. Nitrates have been linked to cancer and birth defects. The Milk Board defends the ads by saying they are entertaining, and are not intended to be taken seriously. But the Milk Board is not in the entertainment business. It has not spent hundreds of millions of dollars on this ad campaign to amuse the public, but to increase the sales of California dairy products. Besides, does misleading the public become legitimate just because it is done in an entertaining way? The Milk Board knows that showing calves being taken away from their bellowing mothers and confined in tiny veal crates won't sell their product. Neither will showing emaciated, lame animals who have collapsed from a lifetime of hardship and over-milking, being taken to slaughterhouses and having their throats slit. But this is the reality for animals in the large-scale factory farms that produce most of the state's milk. Covering up this misery with fantasy ads of happy cows who are actually in New Zealand is not amusing. It is perpetrating a sham on the public. This is why I have joined with People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) in a lawsuit that challenges the Milk Board's ads as unlawfully deceptive. Thus far, the Milk Board has prevailed in court, even though it's obvious that the ads lie to the public. Why? Because the California Milk Advisory Board is the marketing arm of the California Department of Agriculture, a government agency. And in California, in a truly Orwellian twist, government agencies are exempt from laws prohibiting false advertising. Should we hold our advertisers, even if they are government agencies, accountable to reality? Should we require that what they tell us have some resemblance to the truth? This month, PETA has erected billboards throughout the state that read, "California Cheese Comes From Miserable Cows." PETA, of course, is an animal rights group, but this issue is increasingly being recognized as one that concerns not only vegetarians and animal advocates. Consumers who want the animal products they buy to be from humanely raised animals can be found in every segment of society. Consideration for the plight of animals is a central part of the American character. It is an essential part of who we are as a people. The "happy cow" ads are an insult to the legitimate humanitarian concerns of millions of people. As consumers, do we want to reward this sort of behavior with our hard-earned dollars? Abraham Lincoln was speaking not only for vegetarians or for animal rights advocates when he said, "I care not much for a man's religion whose dog or cat are not the better for it."  • Email to a friend • •H.H.

Do you have a Facebook Page? You don't? OMG! As my teenage son would say, you must be special. And that's not a compliment, apparently. There are, apparently, 400 million active members on Facebook. They say that if Facebook was a country, it would be the third largest in the world. And here's another 'apparently': I have 1905 friends, with 5-10 newbies everyday who ask me to 'come out and play'. Not much fresh-air on my computer chair though. So it's not surprising that many people still feel isolated and lonely despite a plethora of cyber friends. I say: Better a handful of real-life flesh-and-blood friends that drop by your house physically, than thousands of cheap-as-chips internet ones. That's not to say I don't respect my internet ones. It's nice to have friends in Kwazulu Natal, Turkmenistan and the Outer Hebrides. It's a great way of networking, no doubt. I've even got a friend who's a friend of Harry Windsor.
