The Appearance of Sri Gadadhara Pandita
Sri Gadadhar was the consant companion of Mahaprabhu from the time of their childhood. His father's name was Sri Madhva Misra and

Seeing that he had enjoyed his visits there last year, the devotees had chosen it again as a venue for his early morning walks. The park, the largest public reserve in Sydney, was named in 1888 to celebrate 100 years of settlement by Europeans in Australia. With its lakes, lawns, paths and statues, Centennial Park still retained its nineteenth century ambience.

By such association, one can receive instructions which are able to slacken the conditioned souls attachment for matter, and thus the intelligent man gradually gets rid of the illusion of matter and false ego and is promoted to the real life of eternity, knowledge and bliss.

Hundreds of devotees from all over Australia and the world will be converging on Sydney’s Hare Krishna temple from Friday May 20th to Sunday May 22nd, to celebrate forty years of ISKCON in Australia.
It was exactly forty years ago, in May 1971, that Srila Prabhupada and two of his disciples first set foot in Australia and inaugurated the country’s first Hare Krishna temple in a shopfront centre at 118 Oxford Street, Paddington.

Yet I’ve never seen even a single instance where the panic actually helped to solve the problem. Instead, panic is neutral at best and greatly interferes at worst.
