By ISKCON Portland As Kṛṣṇa told his friends that beggars sometimes are rebuffed, you knew the Lord would send you help, and help came soon enough. It came from low-class people who were fallen, blind and rough, and not from high-class smārta-types whose egos were too puffed. As brāhmaṇa wives and not their husbands brought Lord Kṛṣṇa food, it was these fallen souls who caught your missionary mood. While paṇḍits criticized your flock as muchis, foul and crude, you knew the Pañca-tattva did not favor or exclude. Continue reading "Our dear Srila Prabhupada (video)

Today we sent the book I’ll Build You a Temple: The Juhu Story to the BBT for printing. And coincidentally, a devotee shared with me a beautiful three-minute video of His Holiness Radhanath Swami speaking about Srila Prabhupada’s struggle in Juhu and my book about it. He said, “One of the most important books about Srila Prabhupada. It’s about Srila Prabhupada and his lila of years of heartbreak and struggle in Juhu, Bombay. No one could write this book like His Holiness Giriraj Swami Maharaja . . . he was there from the beginning to the culmination.”
You can hear His Holiness Radhanath Swami Maharaja’s inspiring talk here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bmHpahWsn3Y&feature=share&fbclid=IwAR2kuA0WEjbLy00xFsSfZFCqrBzIkFn0N8miVqn4IFbfErjCFAH1B_dtkjI

Please accept our humble obeisances!Toronto, Ontario
Your Picture On the Wall
A picture of you came my way,
All framed and looking good,
With pilot-type cap, shawl on shoulder,
Head tilted up as far as you could.
A pujari gave it with intent,
To be hung onto the wall,
For all to see and inspire
Any eyes who pass the hall.
It reminds us as to who is boss –
No question as to who sets the tone.
Your caring, commanding face says,
“I’m with you, you’re not alone.”
You were present in the summer of `75,
Inspecting the building’s levels and floors.
You gave a nod to make the purchase,
From basement to roof and all the corridors.
Your approval was expressed in words,
“This will suit our purposes.”
You warned there’ll be anxiety,
Help did come from divine sources.
The Christian owners said, frank and bold,
“We would rather burn it down,
Than sell it to the Hare Krishnas.”
I guess they wanted us out of town.
You proposed we’ll install Jesus,
For daily worship/meditation.
The owners refused, wouldn’t budge,
We secured the place with mild perpetration.
It all worked out for so many years —
Service at 243 Avenue Road.
Your visage that hangs on the modest wall,
Tells: “For Krishna – accept a load.”
Once a church, now a temple —
The aim of both was the same.
To love and serve each and all,
With concentration on His name.
May this source be with you!

By Kalakantha Das Sacred texts lie at the very heart of human history, where they are much more than pieces of paper bound between covers. Sacred texts are dynamic literary creations that possess incredible beauty and power, which can be applied for a variety of purposes. The Bhagavad-gītā, for example, has been recited orally for generations, published in hundreds of editions, translated into dozens of languages, performed on stage, painted on canvas, debated in courtrooms, employed in daily worship and venerated as an object of worship. The Gītā has been used to inspire action and facilitate meditation, to bring about war and to create peace. Most importantly, the text has given meaning and direction in the lives of countless individuals. Philosophers, scientists, social activists, and people of faith from every religious tradition have turned to the Gītā for inspiration.
