Next month marks the auspicious 8th Anniversary of Vrinda Kunda Temple opening! To celebrate we are organizing special parikramas to the Holy Places of Braja, culminating with our famous Kalash Yatra, an ecstatic Sankirtan procession with the ladies carrying water pots with coconuts on their heads. Programs will be going on from 15-27 Feb with the main parikrama days between 19 and 26.

Last year there was Purusottama Month, so all the festival dates are late this year and the Vrindavan Festival a

Sri Radhe-Krsna's playful pastimes (vihara) - Javata

Once, Srimati Radhika was in mana and did not meet Krsna for several days. The sakhis tried various means to convince Her to give up Her mana, but on this occasion Her mana was fixed and therefore difficult to subdue. Krsna's separation from Radha filled Him with great distress. Subala sakha therefore began to hatch a plan to help Him meet with Radha. Subala exactly resembles Srimati Radhika in age, beauty, speech and so forth and is skilled in

Primary factor is Sankirtana

Posted by Pusta Gopika Devi Dasi on January 15, 2011 at 8:54am

Outdoor kirtana must be done, even at the cost of suspending all editorial work. That is your first and foremost business. Temple worship is not so important. If need be, the whole temple can be locked, but the outdoor kirtana cannot be stopped.
Letter to: Rayarama-Columbus, Ohio-17 May, 1969-05-17

We are not much concerned about the temple because temple worship is not primary factor in this age. Primary factor is Sankirtana. But sometimes we want a center where people may gather and see, so a te

Do the one thing that you aren’t doing now, but if you did do it well and regularly, would have the greatest impact in your life.
The 80/20 rule. 80% of the most important things to do in life are on the top 20% of your prioritized list. Therefore, put “First things First.”
Life has “speed bumps”—slow down, deal with the inevitable problems, and go on
Who said life was suppose to be “fair”?
Ask yourself: “Is this going to be important to me one year from now?”

Orissa Review June - 2009

Before dealing with the Puja system of the great
Jagannath Temple of Puri, we must look into
the real definition of the terms Vaishnava
and Vaishnavism. According to Indian
epics, there are three deities, known
as Trishakti, Trideva or Trio. They
are Brahma, the creator, Vishnu,
the maintainer and Shiva the
destroyer. These three attributes
are indispensable in all matters;
even now in science and in the
simple construction of a building.
Everything we think, feel, and hear is

Krsna Rescues His Teacher’s Son

1. Understanding that His parents were becoming aware of His transcendental opulences, the Supreme Personality of Godhead thought that this should not be allowed to happen. Thus He expanded His Yogamaya, which bewilders His devotees.

2. Lord Krsna, the greatest of the Satvatas, approached His parents with His elder brother. Humbly bowing His head and gratifying them by respectfully addressing them as

"With regard to your question about Bengali style kirtana and
mrdanga playing, one or two styles is best. To introduce more styles is not
good. It will become an encumbrance. If we introduce so much emphasis on
style of kirtana, then simply imitation will go on.

Devotional emotion is the main thing. If we give stress to
instrument and style then attention will be diverted to the style. That will
be spiritual loss."

"I understand also, there was a Kirtana performance given by Sri
Purna. You have rightly remarked whether they are devotees. You are right.
These people are professional singers.

Krishna Kirtana is not for earning a livelihood. Krishna Kirtana is
not meant for entertaining the public for demonstration of arts. It is
dynamic service to the Lord.

We do not therefore mind so much about the artistic presentation of
Krishna Kirtana but we want to see how much a devotee is satisfying the
Supreme Will."

"So if you have talent for musical achievement, that is nice; but if
you nourish some idea of becoming famous by playing some music, that will be
a source of frustration — the end.

So it is better if you play your music for Krishna by having very

introduced it, all of the devotees and also the general public as well will
be able to join together cooperatively in the glorification of the Supreme

This quote from Srila Prabhupada & the quotes in the following
e-mails were compiled by H.H. Indradyumna Swami in his harinama sankirtana
handbook entitled "Harinama Eva Kevalam".

He called this chapter “We Are Not Professional Musicians”. It
emphasises the importance of the propper mood of devotion & service while
out on harinama, and not the concentration on the musical performance.

The book was never published though. :(

Counter-vow : An idea to regularize Chanting for new devotees

Posted by Deepti Rajvanshi on January 13, 2011 at 7:19am

Though the Holy Name is so full of nectar, but I am so unfortunate that I can not relish this nectar.. When I become regular in my Chanting for a few days, Maya plays its tricks and I get some excuse for not Chanting one fine day.. Though I know its not good to skip Chanting for any lame excuse, but its difficult to control my mind.

The other day I heard in a lecture that some devotees take a Counter-vow to regularize their Chanting. Which means that with the vow of Chanting certain num

Prabhupāda: ...all politicians, let them come, study. [break] ...this is not
a movement sentimental. No. It is scientific. (indistinct) ...Christian,
anyone, because it is science. Automatic, "Two plus two equal to four." It
is four for everyone. Not that because one is Muhammadan it will be five, or
because one is Christian it will be three. No. "Two plus two equal to four."
Just like (indistinct). Similarly, this Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement will be
efficient for everyone if he studies impartially.
