ISKCON’s Mission
Srila Prabhupada’s sole mission in life was, as was his spiritual master’s and his spiritual master’s before him, the mission of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, to help the fallen conditioned souls who are rotting within this material world by teaching them the process of Krsna consciousness, devotional service to the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Lord Sri Krsna. Not only teaching, but benedicting and practically forcing them in one way or other to get some transcendental benefit.
Hare Krishna Dear Devotees,

Prabhupada's appreciation
On his return from the program, Prabhupada entered the temple, bowed down before Radha-Gopinatha, then stood, palms together respectfully in traditional Indian greeting. The lone brahmacari pujari, absorbed in singing and offering the late evening arati was blissfully unaware that Prabhupada was standing right behind him.
Afterwards, Prabhupada asked, "Who was that?"
"That was Kurma dasa, Srila Prabhupada."
Prabhupada smiled brightly and said, "Oh -- Kurma deva".

हरे कृष्ण....!!
किसी भी कार्य को प्रारंभ करने से पूर्व यह समझना अति आवश्यक है कि वह कार्य हम क्यों करने जा रहे हैं. अतः इससे पहले कि कोई श्री कृष्ण के विषय में जाने, समझे, विचारे, यह अत्यधिक आवश्यक है कि हम श्री कृष्ण के विषय में क्यों जानना चाहते हैं? कौन हैं कृष्ण? कृष्ण के विषय में ही क्यों जानना है? कृष्ण ही क्यों मददगार हैं?
तो जब हम कृष्ण की बात करते हैं, तो सबसे पहले यह जानना आवश्यक है कि हम कृष्ण के विषय में क्यों जाने....!!
कृष्ण का अर्थ है सर्वाकर्शक....!!!

On Friday, 11 August 2017, ISKCON BiH devotees held a sitting harinam in downtown Sarajevo. This time of year is especially busy for Sarajevo because right now the famous Sarajevo Film Festival is taking place. The city is full of tourists and this proved to be a very good audience to hear the maha mantra and watch Odissi dance. We are very happy to have Anuradha dd and her husband Maha-jvala das with us this week, because they both participated in the harinam. Anuradha danced and many people
Krsna’s Village of Peace at this year’s Woodstock festival in Poland exceeded the expectations of everyone. With a steady stream of people passing through our site the lines for prasadam got longer and longer, large crowds spilled out of the Mantra Yoga Tent and all other activities were fully packed. From this one can appreciate that Lord Krsna is truly ‘all-attractive.’
ISKCON’s GBC (Governing Body Commission) opposes the sale of the ISKCON Radha-Govinda Mandir because the GBC considers selling or moving the temple a risky proposition that’s contrary to the instructions of Srila Prabhupada, ISKCON’s Founder-Acarya.
Acccording to a false story being spread by Ramabhadra Dasa, the GBC would favor the sale if it were to get a cut of the proceeds. Since the Bharati Board won’t agree, so the story goes, the GBC opposes the sale.
None of that story is true.
In April
In spite of being bound by iron shackles and confined in a prison cell and in spite of having witnessed the killing of their six little children by Kamsa, Vasudeva and Devaki were indifferent to all the pains because they always meditated on Krishna and were eagerly waiting for his arrival.
And when finally beautiful Krishna appeared in their lives their hearts were inundated with infinite bliss. Not just Krishna’s presence but in fact his mere remembrance mitigates all the sufferings.
The cele
Earlier this year, I visited the city of Kolkata and was taken by a kind devotee to an old building on a short backstreet known as Ultadanga Junction Road. I had never been there before, but had heard about the place for forty years. The square, brown brick, rather plain three storey building was formerly known as Bhaktivinoda Asana and it was here, on the flat roof-top, that Srila Prabhupada met his spiritual master for the first time. I had always been intrigued by the idea of a sacred meetin

August 1973 at the Bhaktivedanta Manor, in the countryside near London. Several thousand guests (including the Indian High Commissioner) listen to His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada speak about the day Lord Krsna made His appearance on earth.
Your Excellency the High Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, I thank you very much for your coming here and participating in this ceremony -Janmastami, the advent of Krsna. In
“I am so much obliged to you that you have become so enthusiastic for offering Vyasa-puja… And I am very much hopeful that … even if I die, my movement will not stop, I am very much hopeful. Yes. All these nice boys and girls who have taken so seriously…”
– Srila Prabhupada, Sri Vyasa-puja, London, August 22, 1973
Srila Prabhupada’s Vyasa-puja celebration is one of the most important festivals for every ISKCON devotee, because it is only due to the mercy of Srila Prabhupada that ISKCON exists a
