A Constant Flood Of Mercy (10 min. video)
Indradyumna Swami: Our Ratha Yatra parade at this year’s Pol’and’Rock Festival goes up and down the main road of the event for 4 hours each day. Everyone sees us and most important Lord Jagannath sees everyonel. That is the true spirit of Ratha Yatra. The crowds love the chariot parade as witnessed by the hundreds of people who join in each time. A constant flood of mercy here in Poland by Srila Prabhupada’s grace. It was he who brought this all-auspicious event to the western world. Jaya Jagannath!

P. Mehta: With a sad heart, I report the passing of Sat-Cit-Ananda Das from Zimbabwe, on the 27th of July after a brief illness, he was soon to be 70.
A disciple of HH Giriraj Swami.and a pioneer in preaching in Zimbabwe, he, was an owner of a supermarket in a small town called Marondera his business was famously referred to as "Hare Krishna" even though it was of a different name and that was because he was playing continuous bhajans and kirtans for all the opening hours of the supermarket which was one of the largest in the town. He would wear his dhoti and kurta and tilak even as the only person in town, and thus everyone chanted "Hare Krishna"

Sometimes, in the interests of spiritual development, practitioners avoid, suppress, or disconnect from their feelings viewing them as taboo.

“Krishna Valley is not just for us to realize Srila Prabhupada’s vision of simple living, high thinking, but to show others that it’s accessible, and teach them how they can also live naturally while keeping God in the center, ” says Communications director Gandharvika Prema Dasi.
On the second weekend in July, about 10,000 people visited Krishna-valley, Hungary, to attend cultural programs, try tasty vegetarian meals and get acquinted with the different aspects of an environmental-friendly, God-conscious lifestyle. A video by Jaya Hari Das.

Indradyumna Swami: Ratha Yatra is integral to our presence at this year’s Polish Woodstock festival, or “Pol’and’Rock.” There’s a large avenue that cuts through the entire event of 2.2 million people and we go up and down that road for 4 hours a day, every day for 4 days. Everyone sees us and most important Lord Jagannath sees everyone as well. That is the true spirit of Ratha Yatra. The people love the chariot parade as seen in these photos. A constant flood of mercy by Srila Prabhupada’s grace. It was he who brought this all-auspicious event to the western world!

What do John Lennon, Indira Ghandi, Allen Ginsberg, Sterling Moss (Formula One Racer), have in common? They all met Srila Prabhupada. To say Srila Prabhupada, was an epic “Communications” person, is an understatement.
(Kadamba Kanana Swami, 3 February 2013, Prague, Czech Republic, Caitanya Caritamrta Adi Lila 1.2)
Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu had one desire. He had a desire to flood the entire world with an ocean of transcendental Krsna prema. One should see that in the spiritual world, Krsna is always engaged in loving exchanges with all His devotees. And it is said that those devotees purchase Krsna by their service. Rupa Goswami explains in the Nectar of Devotion that pure devotional service is sri Krsna-akarsani – that it can attract Krsna! So, that is the best thing we can do – flood the entire world! We are trying to attract so many things but one who attracts Krsna, attracts the perfection of life. After that, there is nothing more for us to desire – only more association with Krsna. So pure devotional service is like that – it is extraordinary!

Srila Prabhupada: The powerful hari-nama is so strong that even if one unconsciously or consciously they imitate; “Hare Krishna.” They have no intention to chant the holy name of Krishna, but they imitate or criticize, “Hare Krishna.” That also has effect. Calcutta, January 10, 1971
By Vijaya das Vaisesika Prabhu says that the initials ISV, which stand for ISKCON of Silicon Valley, also stand for "individual, spontaneous and voluntary service." These devotees were, in colloquial language, "fired up" in June. They did 47,082 book points, which means they were the No. 2 temple in the world and No. 1 in North America. I once asked Vaisesika whether he had had an exchange with Srila Prabhupada. He said he did. Prabhupada said to him, "Read my books." He took that instruction to heart and expanded on it by encouraging hundreds of other devotees to read the books. And on top of that, he inspires devotees worldwide to distribute millions of Srila Prabhupada's books, giving nondevotees the opportunity to read Prabhupada's books, too. He's a Vaikuntha man in our midst Continue reading "WSN June 2019 – World Sankirtan Newsletter – ISV No. 2 temple in the world and No. 1 in North America!

Success… Failure ….. Suicide
Ever wonder what drives people like VG Siddhartha (founder Cafe Coffee Day), or Kate Spade (Top Designer) to commit suicide? They were at the pinnacle of success but then they were lonely, surrounded by their family and friends. They were weak emotionally, their fears haunted them and pushed them to commit such a sin.
Sadbhuja Das: we have been working on installing the new Kailash on Srila Prabhupada's Samadhi. We are using the same reinforcements and methods that were applied to the Chakras for the TOVP, as well as the same Russian crew which are getting the job done. They are very glad to be back doing this service in total bliss. 
By Kesava Krsna Dasa Sometimes our fixation on who’s “junior” and who is “senior” within our ranks, can inhibit proper devotee relationships. And introducing corporate ideas for managing our devotees can hinder, rather than promote healthy interactions between ourselves Continue reading "Exploiting Humility

Temperatures in the U.K. reached an all time high, ever recorded, 39’C , it was unbearably hot but the next day Reading Rathayatra was hit with monsoon like rain.
While cooking in the morning I was thinking that nobody going to attend this festival, but we cooked anyway as if all was good.
Then by Lord Jagannath’s mercy the blue skies came and the Lord’s devotees came out in the masses.Vishal Gauranga and his wife Amala Manjari Prabhus are the main preachers out here. Running the Nama Hattas, Prasad Distribution, Festivals, and Rathayatras in 3 cities, Reading, Newbury and Basingstoke.
A great example of what can be done when the congregation get together and focus on the mission of Srila Prabhupada.
Reading is an historical city, in 870 Wessex was invaded by the Vikings, and Reading became their HQ , King Ethelred and Alfred the Great ( not so great) were defeated by the Vikings here. Then in 1121 King Henry built Reading Abbey and in 1361 the Black Death wiped out 60% of the population eeer, bad time to be around , but in the last 12 years the town is being blessed by the Lord of the Universe who rides His chariot surrounded by the chanting of the Mahamantra.
These days the residents of Reading can easily access the Lord’s mercy simply by being on the High Street as the Lord rides past.

Indradyumna Swami: Two days before Polish Woodstock [ Pol'and'Rock ] begins we were in full-action mode.

The Klungkung area of Bali is the smallest regency on the island with only two hundred thousand people. By Krsna’s mercy there are about 120 devotee families who come regularly to the temple.
For a long time there was no temple and programs were held in devotee houses. However, by devotion and hard work, the devotees secured land and built a small but nice facility that houses Their Lordships, Sri Sri Radha Kunjavihari and Sri Sri Gaura Nitai.
I always go for programs there.
