The small Sri Sri Radha Madhava deities (uttsava-murti) are brought in a procession amidst kirtana to the lake at Srila Prabhupada’s Pushpa Samadhi Mandir. Their Lordships are placed on a boat and taken on a boat ride during a boat festival evening. The festivities intend to engage everyone in Krishna’s service, thereby giving us a chance to perfect our lives.
The pujaris apply sandalwood to Their sacred bodies. After the boat ride, Their Lordships are seated on a swing decorated with colorful and fragrant flowers and fruits. Devotees then have the wonderful opportunity to swing Them while singing bhajanas for Their pleasure. They also grab the opportunity to cook and offer bhoga to Their Lordships and distribute them to other devotees! Read more ›

The Right Vision
Weather conditions were such that it made it prohibitive to trek a serious length. Today I walked pacing our inside balcony back and forth. I did walk intellectually through a string of verses from the Bhagavad Gita, a kind of power tight rope walking. From chapter 13, Nature, The Enjoyer, And Consciousness.
13.27:
“Oh chief of the Bharatas, know that whatever you see in existence, both the moving and the non moving, is only a combination of the field of activities and the knower of the field.”
13.28:
“One who sees the Supersoul accompanying the individual soul in all bodies and who understands that neither the soul nor the Supersoul within the destructible body is ever destroyed, actually sees.”
13.29:
“One who sees the Supersoul equally present everywhere, in every living being, does not degrade himself, thus he approaches the transcendental destination.”
13.30:
“One who can see that all activities are performed by the body, which is created of material nature, and sees that the self does nothing, actually sees.”
13.31:
“When a sensible person ceases to see different identities due to different material bodies and sees how beings are expanded everywhere, he attains to the Brahman conception.”
13.32:
“Those with the vision of eternity can see that the imperishable soul is transcendental, eternal, and beyond the modes of nature. Despite contact with the material body, O Arjuna, the soul neither does anything nor is entangled.”
13.33:
“The sky, due to its subtle nature, does not mix with anything, although it is all pervading. Similarly, the soul situated in Brahman vision does not mix with the body, though situated in that body.”
13.34:
“O son of Bharat, as the sun alone illuminates all this universe, so does the living entity, one within the body, illuminate the entire body by consciousness.”
13.35:
“Those who see with eyes of knowledge the difference between the body and the knower of the body, and can also understand the process of liberation from bondage in material nature, attain to the supreme goal.”
May the Source be with you!

Hare
hyasphutam rayati priti-bharena hari-cestam
gayatiti mata dhirair hara rasa-vicaksanaih
Filled with ecstatic love, Radha sometimes sings the glories of Hari’s exploits quietly, and sometimes She sings them aloud. Those who are expert in the secrets of divine sentiments call Her Hara.

(Kadamba Kanana Swami, 01 January 2014, Mayapur, India, Caitanya Caritamrta Seminar) If we want to approach Krsna in a mood of friendship, then we must fulfill his desire.

Gopal and Sally Agarwal, an elderly couple who played a significant role in ISKCON’s origins. They are forever etched in the devotees’ collective memory as two of the Western world’s earliest recipients of Srila Prabhupada’s mercy.

Indeed, for one month their home served as Prabhupada’s earliest refuge outside India. Read more ›
