25th Anniversary of Govindadwipa
Govindadwipa in Ireland is celebrating a wonderful three day festival on the 25th anniversary of the appearance of Radha Govinda from the 15 - 17 July. If you have never been there, this is the time to come! They own a whole island, Inish Rath, and all around the island they have made a Braja Mandala Parikrama! You will find Nandagram, Varsana, Radha Kunda, Govardhana, Kusum Sarovar, Madhuvan, Gokula, Kamyavan, and many more transcendental places of Braja. Last
if I am genuinely searching for krishna-prema, I have not after all made any mistake in accepting the shelter of the lotus feet of pure vaishnav. Such vaishnav will not fuel our desire for dharma, artha, Kama and moksha or our hankering for wealth, women and adoration. The purpose of the Moaha is to help free us from these miserable conditions of life and attain Krishna-prema. By taking shelter of the lotus feet of pure devotee of Krishna, beggars for Krishna-prema become qualified to attain the
WHAT THEY
SAY ABOUT BHAGAVAD GEETA.....
Albert Einstein
When I read the Bhagavad-Gita and reflect about how God
created this universe everything else seems so superfluous.
Mahatma Gandhi
The Bhagavad-Gita calls on humanity to dedicate body, mind
and soul to pure duty and not to become mental voluptuaries at the mercy of
random desires and undisciplined impulses.
Dr. Albert Schweizer
The Bhagavad-Gita has a profound influence on the spirit of
mankind by its devotion to God which is manifested by acti
We just wanted to point out the forgiving nature of the Lord and His devotees. We
devotees also in our dealings with each other should be very forgiving and
magnanimous. Krishna forgave Brahma and Indra. Yudhishthira forgave
Dhritarashtra. Some may say that we are not so magnanimous. You may not be that
magnanimous but by attempting to follow the magnanimous you can also become
magnanimous. .(Srimad-Bhagavatam 7.13.28),Nizhny Novgorod, 10.06.03

Hare Krishna Prabhujis and Matajis,
Please accept my humble obeisance. All glories to Srila Prabhupada and Srila Gurudev.
Many a times we all must have come across people who actually become happy when others are in distress. Or may be their happiness lies in only seeing others in distress and unhappiness. I personally have witnessed such crooked smile which enlightens one's face after giving some trouble to a person who has never counteracted. Some people are very much satisfied to see that peopl
Once I saw a young boy walking through the jungle. It appeared as if he was uttering some words. I greeted him and he replied accordingly. I inquired, "Where are you going?" Young boy retorted, "To the house of Allah in Makkah." I further asked, "What are you reciting?" "Noble Quran" he replied. I remarked, "You are at a tender age, it is not an obligation that you are required to fulfill at this stage." Young boy said, "I have witnessed death approach people younger than me and therefore would
Although originally their diet had been simple, it had lately become a habit with the cooks in Sydney to prepare "new and exciting" preparations for the devotees' lunch. As well as the standard dal and rice, the ladies now cooked bread buns, different types of vegetable dishes and big cookies with thick, sweet icing. But the most radical introduction had been the "brahmacari offering". Since somehow or other the devotees could not "hold out" till hot milk tim

This bhesha is mostly liked by the local kings of Orissa and they used to donate different golden ornaments bejwelled with valuable stones. The deities are decorated with 23rd type of golden ornaments.

Adikia ( Tribi
Those who have realized that this human life offers an invaluable opportunity to work towards attaining the supreme goal, prize every moment of it. They are unwilling to waste even an instant in any other endeavor. They know that living entities in other species of life do not have the facility or good fortune to make progress towards the supreme goal and, accordingly, they see no value in living their lives in the manner of the lower species. Hence, upon attaining this extremely rare human life
The preaching enthusiasm will come from our following the
principles of purity. Purity comes from sincerely following the principles of
devotional service. (Srimad-Bhagavatam 4.31.19), Sukharevo, February 2003.

We were on traveling sankirtan in Vavuniya, the northern province of Sri Lanka, where until three years ago the civil war was raging. Although now the situation has calmed down, the police are still patrolling every corner. This place is famous because it's where most of the Tamil Tigers are imprisoned.
This part of Sri Lanka was cut off for many years from the rest of t

"It was in Srivasa Pandita's house that Sri Caitanya enacted His pastimes of sankirtana. Those four brothers (Srivasa, Sri Rama, Sripati and Srinidhi) were continuously engaged in singing the names of Sri Krsna. They worshipped Sri Krsna and bathed in the Ganges thrice daily."
These four brothers previously lived in the district of Sri Hatta. Later
