Tulasi Jala Dan can be followed for one month during the hot season in the northern hemisphere.
One may hang a pot with a hole in it, fill it with water and drip water over Tulasi and Shaligrama Shila.
As it is hot this time of year it is pleasing for the Shaligrama to receive cool waters dripped upon Him.
In the southern hemisphere be careful not to overwater as we come out of Summer and into Autumn.
In this month the sun moves into Mesha rasi (Aries), making the new year for my Hindu calendar and it is in this month Keshava Vrata starts; it is said that for one month one should control the senses, sleep on the earth, bath twice daily in a river, worship the Lord and give cloth, […]

People say that, Prabhupada went back to Godhead. That is in a way minimising Srila Prabhupada because Prabhupada never left Godhead!

The article " Never left Godhead " was published on KKSBlog.
Mount Sinai Hospital, Toronto
Break a Leg
Off to the hospital and anticipating a new knee. I’m already called the bionic boy. I was wheeled into the
surgery. Just minutes before, I compiled a poem.
Break a Leg
You know the saying, “Break a leg,”
Well, that’s what Backstein is about to do
The surgeon will be opening my leg
A performance by him and his crew
When a bionic part enters my machine
He’d execute with care when it’s actually free
With trusty tools he’ll be sharp and clean
Months back he tackled my left knee
And today it’ll be the right
My body is a pod with more than a pea
I’ll all be finished by tonight
I’m glad I’m not a millipede
That would kill the doc for sure
Surgeons are in demand – a need
They live for a patient’s repair and cure
That is a part of their earned legacy
And when the operation is all over
He, I and the crew will be in ecstasy
And our hearts will be wrapped in clover
May the Source be with you!
The #GivingToNrsimha 12 Day Matching Fundraiser is scheduled for May 3 (Akshaya Tritiya) – May 15 (Nrsimha Caturdasi – India time). This is an opportunity to help complete Lord Nrsimhadeva’s TOVP wing so we can open it in 2023 as part of the TOVP 2024 Marathon. Ambarisa prabhu is generously matching a total of $250,000, so your donations and sponsorships will be matched dollar for dollar.
Also of great importance is that this opening of Lord Nrsimha’s wing will honor one of His stalwart servants, Sriman Pankajanghri prabhu, who served the Lord selflessly as His Head Pujari for thirty five years since His installation in 1986. Beloved by one and all, this is the first year since he departed from our vision, and this fundraiser is in the service of his wish to relocate his worshipable Deity into His new home.
As expressed in the video, it was his ardent desire that we complete the TOVP as soon as possible and relocate Lord Nrsimhadeva as well as all our ISKCON Mayapur Deities into Their new home as soon as possible.
Your participation in this fundraiser at whatever large or small level you can will help this important spiritual cause in the service of Pankajanghri, Srila Prabhupada and our acharyas and Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu. Go to the #GivingToNrsimha Page on the TOVP website today or between May 3-15 and support the campaign. Your donation will also be matched dollar for dollar by Ambarisa prabhu. And Srila Prabhupada declares if you help, you will go back to Godhead.
“If you all build this temple, Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakur will personally come and take you all back to Godhead.
Srila Prabhupada to Giriraja Swami
