Sri Krsna Janmastami
The auspicious day of the appearance of Lord Krishna is celebrated all over the world as Sri Krishna Janmastami. It is celebrated on the eighth day of the Krishna Paksha (waning moon) of the month of Shraavan. Krishna, who is the Supreme Personality of Godhead, appeared in Mathura as son of Vasudeva and Devaki.
In Bhagavad Gita 4.8, Lord Krsna teaches the reason for his descend:
paritranaya sadhunam
vinasaya ca duskrtam
dharma-samsthapanarthaya
sambhavami yuge yuge
"To deliver the pious and to annihilate the miscreants, as well as to reestablish the principles of religion, I Myself appear, millennium after millennium".
In Bhagavad Gita 4.9, Lord krsna teaches us how to get out of this wheel of misery
janma karma ca me divyam
evam yo vetti tattvatah
tyaktva deham punar janma
naiti mam eti so 'rjuna
"One who knows the transcendental nature of My appearance and activities does not, upon leaving the body, take his birth again in this material world, but attains My eternal abode, O Arjuna".
The Appearance day of Srila Prabhupada falls on Monday 18th August.
Vyasa-puja means "worship of Vyasa," Vyasa being the compiler of the Vedic scriptures and thus the original spiritual master.
Devotees honour Srila Prabhupada - our Param Guru on the spiritual master's appearance day (a respectful term for "birthday") because he authentically transmits the teachings of Vyasa.
Although ISKCON has many spiritual masters, or acaryas, Srila Prabhupada, the founder-Acharya, holds a permanent position of special esteem. So just as when he was physically present (1965 through 1977), each year devotees gather on his appearance day to praise him and recall his glories.
Devotees fast until noon on this day
Special feast on Friday- 22nd August 2014:
We will have a grand feast on this day to celebrate Srila Prabhupada’s appearance day on 22nd Aug 2014

Kamsa’s moment of doubt
→ KKSBlog
(Kadamba Kanana Swami, 09 May 2014, Bhaktivedanta Manor, England, Srimad-Bhagavatam 8.23.36)
In the Nectar of Devotion, we have a description of Kamsa’s moment of doubt. I like it! Kamsa sits on his throne in Mathura, in his ultimate mood of demoniac nature, and he is thinking, “Hah, what can Krsna do to me? Nothing! I have powerful malice. So many. I mean Keshi, you know Keshi, the ultimate personification of power. What is this Krsna going to do to me?”
Just then, the messenger runs into the court, “Your majesty, your majesty, your majesty. Tragic news!”
Kamsa, “WHAT?”
“Your majesty… Keshi!”
Kamsa, “Noooo, not Keshi!”
“Your majesty, Keshi is no more.”
Kamsa, “No, he (Krsna) is too powerful, he is inconceivable! How is it possible? Maybe, maybe I should just surrender unto him? But what would people say, imagine me, Kamsa! No, I could not do that! Maybe then I should just go to Vrindavan and inflict pain on the residents. But how can I go when I’m too afraid to leave the palace because of Krsna.”
Isn’t it nice that even Kamsa, for a moment, was thinking, “Maybe I should just surrender!” Just see, that gives us hope. If that can come up in Kamsa’s head and heart then anybody has a chance. That is nice. Even the demons are touched by Krsna. Krsna is Bhagavan.
Greetings From the New Vrindaban Gardens 8-14
→ New Vrindaban Brijabasi Spirit
Beautiful new entrance to the teaching garden.
As we have entered into August the weather has been anything but typical. The abundant rain has allowed us to use almost no irrigation. But the lack of sunshine, cold temperatures, and constantly wet plants has caused devastation to our crop of tomatoes. Late blight has struck nearly all of the 600 tomato plants in the Garden of Seven Gates. Next year we will move the crop, use all new supports, and increase the potassium in the early season. For more information about late blight check out this link. http://www.longislandhort.cornell.edu/vegpath/photos/lateblight_tomato.htm. On a very positive note we have been doing tons of flowers and vegetable harvesting. We are currently picking: tomatoes, peppers, swiss chard, kale, green beans, basil, mint, beets, radishes, cucumbers, dill, watermelons, lettuce, bittermelon, raspberries, and much more. Within the next few weeks we will be harvesting squash, sweet potatoes, soy beans, amaranth, sunflower seeds, and pole beans. Flowers have been thriving and we have a beautiful abundance and great variety. Each day flowers are picked for the deities and for the Pushpa Abhishek festival we were able to pick 154 gallons of marigolds.
First two ripe golden watermelons.
The rain has been great for germinating new seedlings. This week we started fall seedlings: cabbage, beets, kale, spinach, kohlrabi, and peas. We are also starting to plant cover crops. One of the fields that has been resting to increase soil fertility first had a crop of buckwheat and has now been planted with daikon radishes. With 1 acre we will have unlimited greens and radishes and what we don’t use will be used as a ground breaking compost.
Seeding cover crops
Daikon Radish field
The most exciting improvement in the Garden of Seven Gates has been the reconstruction of two former greenhouses. We are building a hot house (heated green house) for both our spring and fall seedlings. We are also building two high tunnel greenhouses one for year round greens and the other for season extending flowers. The three greenhouses are located within the gates of the Garden of Seven Gates. As we enter into the late summer we will continue to plant and harvest while plans for next years gardens are already being drawn out. Happy Harvesting!

The exaggerations in the karmakanda section of the Vedas appeal to ambitious materialists. Concessions to selfishness are absent from the scriptural presentation of the method of chanting the holy name in pure devotion. The scriptures frankly declare that the results of the karmakanda process are merely transient sensual enjoyments, whereas the results of chanting the holy name and engaging in Krsna's service are eternal and permanent.

Welcome to Krishna-land! Children’s area in Bhaktivedanta Manor (Album 19 photos)
→ Dandavats.com
This is where the kids want to be and where the parents want their kids to be.
Its not a theme park, there certainly are no merry-go-rounds but there's a guarantee that all children will enjoy this experience. The volunteers in Krishna-land are individually CRB checked and cleared. So guests can trust their children are safe!
The attractions for the little ones and the young at heart include stage performances, puppet shows, a treasure hunt, arts and crafts for the creative, face painting, a bouncy castle and the opportunity to engage in yoga. If that's not enough, children are given the opportunity to swing the beautiful Radha and Krishna dolls and if children missed the famous Rathayatra festival, they can see and play with Their Lordships Jagannatha, Baladeva and Subhadra dolls.

New Vrindaban dhambasi, Dharma, the Bull
Last month, New Vrindaban cowherd: Ray built an outdoor facility for resident bull, Dharma. The previous facility proved to not be strong enough to contain Dharma as he had a history of break outs which have led to the impending welcoming of at least 5 new calves in the months to come. With the new outdoor facility Dharma will be able to sunbathe as often as he likes as opposed to being confined to his pen inside the big barn.
Dharma’s New Bullpen
Currently an addition is being added to the milking barn in order to provide a roomier loafing area for the milking cows & a nicer feeding isle set up. Vyasanana Prabhu (one of New Vrindaban’s expert carpenters) and Rafael (now known as Radhanatha Prabhu) as his assistant, have been diligently working on this project. The extension on the barn will allow the yard to stay drier (from the snow/rain) & provide the cows with an outdoor resting area that is separate from where they eat. These improvements will hopefully facilitate the cows staying as clean as possible in anticipation of the pilgrims braving the frigid winter weather to get their darshan.

Come by any day of the week at milking time (7am or 6pm) to see the updated facilities, as well as, Caitanya Bhagavat & crew’s freshly painted red fence surrounding the milking cows pasturing grounds.
Exploitative desires reduces a living spiritual movement to a stagnant organised church
→ The Spiritual Scientist
"The idea of an organized church in an intelligible form indeed marks the close of the living spiritual movement. The great ecclesiastical establishments are the dykes and the dams to retain the current that cannot be held by any such contrivances. They, indeed, indicate a desire on the part of the masses to exploit a spiritual movement for their own purpose. They also unmistakably indicate the end of the absolute and unconventional guidance of the bona fide spiritual master.
Huge preparations in Bhaktivedanta Manor, UK, for the Janmastami Festival 2014 (Album 71 photos)
→ Dandavats.com
Bhaktivedanta Manor’s spectacular Janmashtami festival is expected to attract over 70,000 pilgrims to celebrate the birth of Lord Krishna on earth 5000 years ago. The festival will demonstrate the spiritual variety of India’s ancient Vedic culture in all its glory.
On arrival, visitors will walk through the newly completed ‘New Gokul’ complex, Europe’s largest cow protection project, as they make their way to the colourful festival site. At the site, the main marquee will stage cultural dances and musical extravaganzas. Over 50,000 pilgrims will also eagerly queue in anticipation to greet Sri Sri Radha Gokulananda, the temple Deities, in the Manor’s exquisitely decorated shrine. Even the queue itself will be a spiritual experience, as it makes its way along a flowered walk-way around the Manor’s lake, with pilgrims admiring the illuminated displays of Krishna’s pastimes.

The Gurukuli children in Nigeria (Nanda Gram) did their painting competition in the Temple last Sunday, 10th August 2014. The competition was part of the Janmasthami celebrations coming up on the 17th of this month. Children painted Krishna; mother Yasoda, Nrishimadeva, Balaram, Devaki and Vasudeva. Winners of the competition will be announced on Janmasthami day and prizes will be given to them. Meanwhile, serious rehearsals and trainings is going on at the temple, ranging from Drama, Music, Bhajans, Gita recitations, Rasa dance, Fancy dress competitions and others to make this year’s Janmasthami a memorable one. The Temple President, His Grace Nataraja Das, has assured Devotees that, he has reached out to the prominent media practitioners both electronic and print media houses to inform and enlighten the public about the event. The Nanda Gram Temple has also taken a new look as serious work is ongoing to mark the event. Read more › Harinama in Jackson Heights 74 St (New York City Subway) (Album 10 photos)

In the chanting of the holy name of the Lord, capriciousness, cheating and exaggeration are shunned. For instance, when a devotee inspires someone to chant, he does so without self interested motives. He engages another in Krsna's service only for the pleasure of Krsna. Though attractive material results of chanting the holy name may be mentioned in some scriptures, a pure devotee pays no heed to them, for he is beyond material desire.

His Grace Madhudvisa Das
→ Ramai Swami
His grace Madhudvisa prabhu was a great inspiration to the Australian and New Zealand yatras being the GBC and a wonderful leader from the early to mid 70s.
Actually, he was the GBC for the whole area including countries like Indonesia, Singapore, Fiji, and Papua New Guinea. He was very attached to Srila Prabhupada and always talked of him constantly telling stories and giving instructions.
Recently, Madhudvisa Prabhu left his body in his apartment across the road from the Los Angeles temple. He was one of the best friends I ever had and I will miss his association greatly. May he be blessed with eternal service at the lotus feet of his beloved guru, Srila Prabhupada.

A Fight in the Tree
Fierce fighters they were. One block from our ashram were a family of four ‘rascal raccoons’ as some people would call them. They were cussing and snapping at each other off of narrow branches from a single tree. It was 4 AM, they would not let up. It was a real show, or rather, a show down. It halted my short trek, it was a station break for me. Entertainment at its best.
Seeing those guys lunging at each other was a simple reminder that species outside of humans usually occupy themselves, in and amongst other things, with this kind of fare – fighting. Oh, there are plenty of testimonies given by people of spiritual things that animals sometimes enact. Some of those creatures demonstrate great qualities of benevolence and virtue, such as the dog’s loyalty, which is a far cry from what you find in many humans.
A raccoon’s snarl, such as what I heard and witnessed when seeing those perfect rows of jaws jutting out, was a family feud performance. It seems to be quite common amongst these guys. I believe we all have aggressive little raccoons in our head.
Aggression was probably the theme of our drama practice this evening. As the director, I was bringing out the raccoon in everyone. Aggression is what the scene calls for. I applaud my tree friends, the raccoons, taking the lead in showing this passion. The rehearsal was good. By the way, you really get to know people when you ask them to surrender who they think they are and when they’re trying to be someone else. Deep down inside we are humble entities and naturally take a service role.
May the Source be with you!
