Mantra Lounge in UNITEN, Malaysia
KAJANG – There is an amazing effect from our recent Kirtan Mela in Malaysia that the youth are getting. They are bonding like never before. Youths from various centers throughout Malaysia are getting together in each other’s events not minding the travel, time or money needed to spend to get together. During our recent ratha yatras we saw youth from Central and Southern zones of Peninsular Malaysia travelling up North to participate in the ratha yatra there and then just a week later youths from Northern Peninsular Malaysia traveled to the Central zone to do the same.

Saying Goodbye (Album 4 photos)
Indradyumna Swami: I am in Mayapur to pay my respects and say goodbye to Manorupa dasi, the wife of Prahlada Nrsimha dasa and mother of Sri Nama Vanamali dasa and Sri Paramahamsa Gaura dasa. Manorupa has terminal cancer and only a few days to live. Her and her family have served for many years on our Festival of India summer tour in Poland. I told her today that she’s definately going back Home, back to Godhead because in this life she has been the perfect disciple of her guru maharaja, ( Jayapataka Swami ) the perfect wife of Prahlada Nrsimha prabhu and the perfect mother of two fine sons. She is peaceful, calm and fearless in the face of death. Such a wonderful example for us all. Please all of you send her your love and blessings!

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.

BBC: The hazards of too much stuff
Srila Prabhupada: Everyone requires possessions such as food grains, clothing, money and other things necessary for the maintenance of the body, but one should not collect more than necessary for his actual basic needs. If this natural principle is followed, there will be no difficulty in maintaining the body. According to scriptures, collecting of more than necessary (atyahara) is prohibited. Now the entire world is suffering because of it. (The Nectar of Instruction, 2)
Here is today’s article from BBC which presents practically the results of such over accumulation: http://goo.gl/kvlGx3

Auckland New Zealand Friday night ecstatic Harinam (Album 32 photos)
Srila Prabhupada: We have seen many philosophical speculators. They simply talk in the meetings and that’s all. And if we examine their private character it is less than ordinary. A person may be a nice speaker but will that help you in your spiritual realization? On the other hand, if you chant Hare Krishna, it will give you immediate results. (Lecture 1968, Los Angeles)

Bhakti Groove (Album 15 photos)
SUBANG JAYA – Inspired by the success of Kirtan Mela in Malaysia, the youths from Klang and Kuala Lumpur gathered at one of the youth’s home in Subang Jaya to start a monthly gathering of spiritual and fun bliss called “Bhakti Groove.”
Bhakti means devotion emphasizing the mutual intense emotional attachment and love of a devotee towards the Supreme Lord, Sri Krishna. Groove in the urban dictionary is an adjective describing a rhythmic quality of music that is emotionally communicative and soulful.
The combination of both words “Bhakti Groove” formed a mystical formula of invocation, assisting communion with Sri Krishna.

Dramatic increase for the third year in a row for book distribution in USA!!
Distribution of ISKCON Founder Srila Prabhupada’s books in North America has made another dramatic increase for the third year in a row!
And there’s no sign of stopping. At the North American GBC and Temple Presidents’ meetings in Dallas, Texas this past weekend, leaders again set a goal of another 10%.
With Vaisesika’s encouragement, temple presidents and leaders have assembled ISKCON North America’s centers together as one team with one common goal over the past three years. In 2012 they set a goal of a 20% increase, in 2013 a goal of another 20% increase on top of that, and in 2014 another 10% increase. Despite the challenge of reaching percentage increases from higher and higher base numbers, North American devotees have smashed their goals each year. In 2012 they reached 26.5%, in 2013, 28%, and in 2014, 11.5%.

India’s next gift to the world could be Vedic mathematics!
Vedic mathematics, a set of supposedly ancient techniques that help even the most numerically challenged to conquer difficult sums, is surging in popularity as government ministers claim that they could hold the key to better education. From next month, three Indian universities will begin to offer courses in Vedic calculations while home-learners can watch an entire television channel devoted to the subject on one of India’s digital networks. Several thousand teachers have been recruited for private college courses. Its supporters believe Vedic maths could become a major export like yoga and curry. The rising popularity of Vedic maths is partly because of a renewed campaign by the nationalist prime minister, Narendra Modi, to lay India’s claim to the cornerstones of human knowledge. He marked India’s successful mission to Mars last year by claiming its ancient Vedic scientists had conceived of air travel thousands of years before the Wright Brothers made their first flight. It was a reference to a disputed ’veda’ which described ancient air travel between Indian cities and to other planets.
