Utthana Ekadasi
Fasting.....................on Sun Nov 18, 2018
Breakfast................  on Mon Nov 19th, 2018 b/w 10:05am – 10:28 am

Every fortnight, we observe Ekadasi, a day of prayer and meditation. On this day we fast (or
simplify our meals and abstain from grains and beans), and spend extra time reading the scriptures
and chanting the auspicious Hare Krishna mantra.By constantly ‘exercising’ our minds through
regular japa we can train our senses to push the threshold of contentment.
English audio glorification of all Ekadasis is available here

Southport Govardhana Puja
→ Ramai Swami

The Southport Centre on the Gold Coast celebrated Govardhana puja a couple of days later on the Saturday. Devotees made preparations to put on the replica Govardhana hill commemorating the pastime of Lord Krsna’s instruction to the inhabitants of Vrndavan.

This was that all the paraphernalia, offerings and arrangements made for worshiping Indra, be instead offered to Govardhana hill.

The festival was very popular and a lot of guests came. I gave the lecture and led the kirtan so I was blessed to attend two Govardhana puja’s this year.

Giriraj like never seen before… (Album of amazing photos)
Srila Prabhupada: When the transcendental vibration of Hare Krishna is sounded, even the trees, animals and insects benefit. Thus when one chants the Hare Krishna maha-mantra loudly, he actually shows mercy to all living entities. (Srimad-Bhagavatam, 4.13.19 Purport)

By Bhakti Caru Swami

That night, Srila Prabhupada called me. I was attending Srila Prabhupada – actually one of us used to always be with Srila Prabhupada for two hours. My shift was 12am-2am. So it must have been around 1am. Srila Prabhupada called me, and told me: “The time has come for me to leave this planet, therefore you should make arrangement to take me to Vrindavan immediately.” He wanted to leave his body in Vrindavan. I was completely shocked and immediately ran downstairs to wake up Tamal Krishna Maharaj. Continue reading "Bhakti Caru Swami on Srila Prabhupada’s disappearance day (video)

Wish Fulfilling Trees!
→ Traveling Monk

Фотоальбом

In this album we see up close some of the famous ‘desire trees’ of Sri Vrindavan Dhama. These wish-fulfilling trees grant the desires of the residents of Vrindavan in their services to the Divine Couple. We spent a beautiful morning in such a forest of trees just at the foot of Varsana, the eternal residence of Srimati Radharani. While chanting and dancing there we were able to perceive the spiritual nature of that divine abode and the effect it had on purifying our hearts. The katha we had kept everyone spellbound for hours. We hanker to return there again and again!

Srila Prabhupada’s books in Mongolian (Album of photos)
Today, Srila Prabhupada got a parcel from Mongolia containing five copies of the newly published Mongolian “Science of Self-Realization”.
Designed in Sweden, and layed out and printed in Mongolia, this is by far the best-produced Mongolian BBT title ever. In Ulaanbataar, Ekala Isvara Prabhu, though very new at laying out books, perfectly executed each adjustment and fine-tuned the book to graphic and typographic perfection.
The printing and binding is so well done that the book is indistinguishable from any similar book printed in Europe.
It was such a pleasure to offer this amazing title to Srila Prabhupada.

The Vedic scriptures proclaim that the glories of Lord Krishna are unlimited and eternal and no one is able to reach the end of them. In the same way, who can fully describe the splendid glories of Sri Giriraja-Govardhana, the best servant of the Lord and at the same time non-different from the Lord Himself? […]

Amazing TOVP Main Temple Interior 360° Panoramic Photo
- TOVP.org

Amazing is hardly the word to describe this truly inspiring 360° panoramic view of the interior of the temple room produced by Srisha prabhu and his team at the TOVP 3D Modeling and Visualization Department.

Once you have the photo on your screen you can simply allow it to automatically take you on a tour, or you can manually go from right to left, left to right or up and down by holding down the left clicker on your mouse and dragging the photo in the direction you want to go. Through the manual control you can view every angle of the room, including the very top of the dome looking straight up.

We all look forward to more wonderful photos like this from Srisha and his team.

Professor of Arabic and Islamic studies in Middle East takes Arabic Gita, makes sure it gets into university library
→ Dandavats

Hare KrishnaDr. Khalifa Yaseen Bin Aradi, Director of Arabic & Islamic Studies at the University of Bahrain (located just 24 km. from the border of Saudi Arabia) receives a personal copy of the Arabic Bhagavad Gita As It Is from Sridhari Madhava Prabhu of the local ISKCON branch. The professor was so thankful and impressed to receive the Gita As It Is in Arabic that he personally took our Prabhu across campus to see Mr. Hedi Talbi, Director Of Library & Information Services at the University. Dr. Khalifa Yaseen Bin Aradi was prepared to insist that the university library take a full set of the Arabic books... ... He didn't have to insist. As the royal succession of the Kingdom of Bahrain's monarchy appeared to look over the historical scene from their photos on the wall, the library director happily accepted the Arabic Gita and the three small Arabic books for immediate addition to the Library's general collection, for access by the entire student population... Srila Prabhupada ki jaya!

The Desire Trees of Vrindavan (10 min video)
Indradyumna Swami: Varsana is the sacred home of Srimati Radharani where she lived with her parents during the early years of Her life. Along with Her gopi maidservants, She would traverse the wooded forests of Varsana as they went to the market to sell their milk products - sometimes meeting Her beloved Krsna along the way. One of Her favorite forests still exists to this very day with ancient “desire trees” still dotting the landscape. Our parikrama party had the good fortune to visit Varsana along with the mystic forest, where we hugged the trees as per tradition and begged one day become. eternal servants of the divine couple.

Disapproved but not Disowned
→ Dandavats

Hare KrishnaBy Gauranga Darshan Das

An ordinary person might break relationship with others just because they act against his will. But the Supreme Lord never breaks His relationship with the living entities although they act against His will millions of times. Even if the conditioned soul commits such abominable activities and becomes an insect, or a hot or a worm in the stool also, Krsna is willing to stay right in His heart as Paramatma or Supersoul. That is His unlimited kindness due to which He can never disown us. And that kindness of Krsna is our hope. However, one shouldn’t take undue advantage of Krsna’s kindness and purposefully perform wrong deeds. Continue reading "Disapproved but not Disowned
