In Vrindavan in 2014 we inaugurated the Gratitude Coin program to help fund the TOVP project.
Our first presentation was at Srila Prabhupada’s Disappearance Day festival during Kartik.

With so many other services and responsibilities they have taken up in their local temple, they have come forward to serve this International project an

By Deena Bandhu Das:
I am very sad to inform you that just two hours ago a very dear Godsister, Lilashakti Linda Forkash, left this world. She was one of the biggest book distributors the world has known. So devoted and compassionate in wanting to connect the fallen souls with Srila Prabhupada’s teachings. I know that Srila Prabhupada will take her in his embrace and lead her to Lotus Feet of her Lordships Radha Shyamsundar. Please
Hare Krishna.

Since last few weeks I am hearing a most nectarean seminar on `demons in Krishna’s pastimes’ and what anarthas they represent with in us by HG Srimati Mataji.

Their prayers teach us in what mood to pray to Krishna in difficulty and we know the result of such prayers to Him. Th
One’s love of God depends entirely upon one’s inner feelings. Love of God is the essential thing.

Friday evening 7 pm, Santa Monica Promenade
Harinam was going on full-swing and I was approaching people with books who were standing near the chanting.
I approached this friendly-looking man in his late 30’s. I put the Gita in his hand and told him that I’m showing books on mediation to all the nice people on the Promenade this evening.
He was polite and calm and with a smile asked if the book I’m trying to give him is in my lang
