Sunday Program in Moscow (Album 5 photos)
Srila Prabhupada: The Hare Krishna movement is present in every millennium of Lord Brahma’s life, and the holy name is chanted in all the higher planetary systems, including Brahmaloka and Candraloka, not to speak of Gandharvaloka and Apsaroloka. The sankirtana movement that was started in this world five hundred years ago by Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu is therefore not a new movement.
(Srimad-Bhagavatam, 2.7.15 Purport)

Raganuga for Beginners?
→ The Enquirer

We’ve come to think of Rāgānugā Sādhana as an “advanced” practice. From what I can tell by considering what I have considered, it is more of a practice that evolves from a simple to a more advanced stage. There are advanced practitioners of Rāgānugā Sādhana and there are also beginners. Their qualifications and activities are … Continue reading Raganuga for Beginners?

Excerpt About a Place and a Monk

An excerpt from Satsvarup Goswami’s book, “Srila Prabhupada-Lilamrita” read this morning in the front of the assembly of yogis, spiritual leaders from across the US and Canada.  I was impressed by the contents, composition, set in ’58, India and to do with our guru, Srila Prabhupada.

“Alone and poor, Abhay (Prabhupada) returned to Vrindavan.  He was sixty-two, but he wasn’t thinking of retiring.  More than ever his mood was reflective and renounced.  Because few people know him and because he wanted to unite, he kept to himself. 

He enjoyed deep peace as a resident of Vrindavan.  Outside his window, the sacred Yamuna flowed by in a peaceful panorama for his private audience.  The Kesi-ghata neighbourhood was quiet, though in  the predawn he could hear a few devotees bathing and chanting.  When the moon was full the river seemed like a coolly resplendent jewel.  And in the morning the sun would appear, like a red smudge, a fire burning through an opaque wall at last bursting forth and clearing the entire sky, until in the hot blaze of noon, while the room would be in shadows, Abhay could see from his window a shimmering sun high in the sky and glittering across the silver sheet of the gentle river.  Without so much as leaving his room, from his doorway he could see hundreds of temples clustered together for miles in the friendly town of Vrindavan.  The various punctual kirtans and bell ringings in the temples, the spontaneous songs of  Lord Krishna in numerous homes and in the streets rose and filled the air with devotion.”

I love the writing about this monk who poised himself before taking a journey to western soil.

May the Source be with you!

The Miracle Food
→ NY Times & Bhagavad Gita Sanga/ Sankirtana Das

About a mile down the road from me, at the New Vrindaban Dairy, I get a half gallon of whole milk fresh from the cows. Here’s a pic of Ananda Vidya, the cowherd guy. He and/or his wife milk seven cows daily like clockwork, at 7:30 in the morning and 6 in the evening. The cows produce close to 25 gallons a day. Usually they give milk for 2 or 3 years. One cow gave milk for over 5 years. This is because they feel calm, happy and protected. One thing about milk – for kids its great, but as you get older it’s better to cut back. If you have problems getting to sleep, best to have a piping hot cup in the evening (with a little honey) before retiring – this creates a sound and restful sleep.
