1) There is mentioned in Pancaratra-Pradipa that a fan is offered only during warm weather. Does it mean that one should offer it according to temperature outside or to warm season in general?
2) If there is an additional offering of bhoga to be done after prescribe offering, should one perform dhupa-arati after the main offering or after the additional one?
3) Does dhupa-a

A common controversy.
Bhagavad-gita 7.7
O conquerer of wealth [Arjuna], there is no Truth superior to Me. Everything rests upon Me, as pearls are strung on a thread.
TRANSLATION
PURPORT
There is a common controversy over whether the Supreme Absolute Truth is personal or impersonal. As far as Bhagavad-gītā is concerned, the Absolute Truth is the Personality of Godhead Śrī Kṛṣṇa, and this is confirmed in every step. In this verse, in particular, it is stressed that the Absolute Truth is a person. That
Unless you inquire submissively and hear attentively, you cannot preach the message of Godhead. Actually no one is guru except Krishna, everyone is disciple, everyone is servant and it is our service being disciple to teach others and take position of guru. So here we find, Lord Brahma humbling himself before Vishnu, “I do not know please philosophically explain, who I am, who are You? What is this material world? And what is happiness? Arjuna asked Krishna the same question, Sanatana Goswami as
SCIENCE – "TWO" SHORT TO ROPE THE UNIVERSE
-Damodara lila special
One of the important legends associated with Diwali is Damodara lila, a pastime in which mother Yashoda tried to tie Krishna with a rope. The rope turned out to be two fingers short. So she tied more rope, but, no matter how many ropes she tied together, the combined rope remained two fingers short.
This pastime signifies that no matter how much we try, we will always fall short in our attempts to understand God with our intelligence
We are not independent. Just like in the state, in your country, although you have observed the independence ceremony, but you are not independent. If you go... "Keep to the right," you go to the left, immediately your independence finished. You'll be punished. So this so-called independence is conditional. It is not absolute independence. If you want absolute independence then you have to go back home, back to Godhead. This is Krsna consciousness. We are hankering after independence, but so lon
Freedom means you must have independence. But because you are not absolutely independent, so you suffer. The Absolute Independent is God, Krsna. Just like government. The government orders: let this crowd be shot. Let there be bullet shot. Hundreds of men die. But government is not responsible for such death. But if you kill one man, you'll be responsible. So your independence is subordinate independence. Similarly, all living entities, they have been given independence by God, but his independe
Srila Prabhupada rang his buzzer early this morning. I entered his room, offered my obeisances, looked up -- and got a shock. Srila Prabhupada was smiling -- revealing a gap where his tooth should have been.
With mixed dismay and surprise I asked, "Srila Prabhupada, what happened to your tooth?"
Without saying anything, Srila Prabhupada reached down and pulled open the drawer of his desk. The tooth was lying inside. During the night it had either fallen out

Oh, My Master’s Lotus Feet Are Bittersweet
By Tamal Krishna Goswami
God’s greatest gift, service to my master,
Exorcist of the ghost of past desire,
Sweet purgative, bittersweet oil of castor.
I’ve found my master’s service does inspire
Desirelessness of all but pleasing him;
Without remorse, I watch life’s joys expire.
Let lust retire, that most acidic sin,
By guru’s grace, its misery alkalize
My soured life, rescued by his discipline.
I hide my sin in shame lest he recognize
My faults and condemn what I e
though, see it as a reality to believe it. The Lord will be visible to

Devotees eager to witness this grant consecration ceremony- a feast to
the eye, ear and tongue- may please join us.

LONDON — A gas explosion ripped through a ISKCON Leicester temple in England on Friday destroying part of the building but leaving no one injured.
Rescuers combing the rubble for trapped devotees said everyone was accounted for.

Temple officials said the explosion was caused by a gas leak at the temple. Gauran
