Kartika is glorified in the Puranas as very special for making spiritual advancement and the best place to be in Kartika is Sri Braja Dham. In fact this month is known as Damodar, since in the middle of this month, the Lord performed His very enchanting Damodar Lila. Kartika month also represents Radharani, and devotees perform special austerities to gain Her favor.


With great happiness in our hearts, we invite everyone to join in the auspicious Kartika Festival in Vrindavan. We have organized a wonderful variety of parikramas to the Holy Places of Krishna's pastimes in Braja for all of you. Almost daily, we will be going by bus leaving in the morning and returning in time for lunch around 3 PM, unless otherwise noted. Sometimes we will also join up with Lokanatha Swami's Braja Mandala Parikrama and enjoy the association of the many devotees who will be wandering around Braja on foot. Tickets will be available from the newly renovated Welcome Center next to the temple, and all of Srila Prabhupada's disciples and accompanied family members are free!


The 3rd of November is the Holy Disappearance Day Festival of His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada and we extend a warm invitation to all to come and commemorate this sacred occassion with us in Sri Vrindavan, where His Divine Grace is sitting in Samadhi. Leading up to this day, every evening, senior disciples will be relating their memories of Srila Prabhupada.

Dear Devotees,

Since publishing the commemorative magazine "Bhaktivedanta Manor: 40 Years of Devotion" it has been brought to our attention that some readers felt our portrayal of the Manor’s history was lacking in sufficient details. Some names of important devotees were not mentioned and some historical episodes not included.

Bhaktivedanta Manor

Unfortunately, things like this do sometimes happen when you’re trying to tell a story that spans four decades – but you only have 20 pages to do it. Something – or someone – is going to be left out. Knowing this, we focused on the major projects and events in each decade. Inadvertently, however, we seem to have overlooked some important aspects and major contributions.

Our thoughts were that every single devotee in the history of the Manor has made an absolutely essential contribution and has a story worth telling. All their services helped the Manor become what it is today and they deserve all gratitude and respect. Yet our magazine was a small offering for the 40th anniversary year and was not meant to be an exhaustive and comprehensive chronicle of events and devotee contributors.

But we’re sorry about this editorial lapse and would like to make amends. So we’ll be putting together an expanded, online version that will include as much as our community wishes, and we’d like it to be truly representative of everyone’s efforts. So we’d like to invite you to send us your scanned images and stories for inclusion – and we’d like to have them within the next month. That way the 40th anniversary year can be completed with recognition for everyone who has contributed their time and efforts to creating, maintaining and protecting this temple.

Please send your images, scanned if possible, to:

radha.mohan@krishnatemple.com

Your Servant
Bhaktivedanta Manor Communications

Radhastami Festival at ISKCON Ludhiana


Radhastami Festival 2013


Radhastami Festival (An Appearace day of Srimati Radharani) was celebrated in temple today.Chhapan Bhoga was offered to Srimati Radharani. The festival started with very melodious kirtan recited by temple devotees. During recitation of kirtan there was panchamrit Abhishek of Their Lordship by the temple devotees. Devotees were on fasting till noon and some kept Nirjla (not even water) fasting.


On this auspicious occasion HG Akrur Das from ISKCON,Vancouver,Canada said that Srimati Radharani is the Supreme Goddess and is the eternal consort of Lord Krishna.Her special qualification is that She is the best devotee of Krishna. Krishna therefore loves her the most. Her name means the She is the most excellent worshipper of Lord Krsna.Later full dinner prasadam was distributed among the visitors.
