TKG (Tamal Krishna Goswami) Academy: Another wonderful school year has come to an end!
Another wonderful school year has come to an end. An adventurous year it was, with many new students and exciting events. And so it was befitting that the conclusion was extraordinary as well. On Tuesday, May 19th, we went to the Armstrong Park in Duncanville. Despite our concerns, the weather was pleasant and perfect. As soon as we arrived, the children ran forward and practically disappeared into the large castle-like structure. We played many games and engaged in various activities, though the students were perfectly happy to simply climb and hide and follow their imagination…

Hare Krishna! Brahmananda prabhu eulogies.
By Madhusudan das, and Kanchanbala dasi.
His grace Brahmananda Prabhu was my 1st temple president on 26 2nd Ave. I am eternally grateful to him as he gave me such spiritual, Krishna conscious protection. I was always moved by his unwavering devotion to Srila Prabhupada. AT the time, a new, young devotee that I was, was not familiar with the term “siksa guru” but in retrospect, can see that he was this to me. At the same time, I felt him to be my older brother, godbrother as I was 16-17 years old and he was in his mid 20’s, which I considered “old.” I couldn’t make it to the temple every day as I lived far away, going to high school and there was opposition in my family regarding me participating at the temple. So Brahmananda Prabhu didn’t know about my devotional activities at home.

Mayapur children’s Summer Camp (Album with photos)
Bhakti Vedanta Youth Trust, Mayapur organized a Summer Camp for Mayapur community’s children on 20th and 21st, June. The camp gave the children an opportunity to come together and engage in spiritual practices like chanting, hearing, Harinaam, aratis and of course, honoring wonderful prasadam feasts. The children were enlightened with spiritual knowledge through lectures by HH Bhakti Vidya Purna Maharaj, HH Bhakti Purusottama Maharaj and HG Sankarsan Nitai Prabhu. On 20th evening, the children did a parikrama of the campus doing Harinaam sankirtan. HG Venudhari Prabhu and some other brahmacari devotees also joined the sankirtan. After that they attended Sandhya Arati in the temple. Next day morning, there was Mangal arati and japa in Gita Bhavan. Later in the afternoon, there was ‘Sloka competition’. Children were organized in groups and read out English translation of a verse or song. They had to quickly identify the original verse and recite it. The event ended on 21st evening with a group picture of all participating children. Both the children and their parents seemed very happy with the camp.

Hare Krishna! Arabic Perfection of Yoga Stuns Syrian Actor
…then he says “Oh well if this book is in your language or English it’s the same to me” (meaning he can’t understand either). Paramatma then gave me intelligence that he speaks Arabic. I always carry a Gita and a few small Arabic books in my hand, but I had just finished distributing the last Arabic book that I was holding to another nice gentleman from Saudi Arabia. So I asked him “Can you read Arabic”? he replied with a smile “Of course i can that’s my language”. So i reached into my book box and pulled out a Perfection of Yoga in Arabic and handed it to him. His eyes went wide and he was in a total shock that I had a book on ancient yoga teachings of India in his own beloved Arabic.
