Sri Sri Radha Madhava Murtis in the Making
- TOVP.org

The making of a special set of Sri Sri Radha Madhava/Ashta Sakhi fiberglass murtis has recently commenced.

The purpose of these murtis is specifically to place on the altars with the Pancha Tattva and Guru-parampara murtis for decorating the area as well as to determine how all the murtis on all the altars fit nicely together in Their places. This will make the altar complete and give us indications for future work to be done.

Additionally, these murtis will also serve the purpose of designing and measuring new Deity outfits.

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.

→ Dandavats



Sri Ganga-puja, also known as Sri Ganga-dushara (she who removes inauspiciousness), appears in the month of Jyestha (May/June) on the 10th day of Sukla-paksa, or the waxing fortnight of the full moon. On this day, Maharaja Bhagiratha’s desire of bringing Ganga to this mortal world was finally fulfilled as the sacred river descended from Lord Siva’s blessed head at Mount Kailasa. The River Ganga then flowed through the Himalayas behind Maharaja Bhagiratha’s chariot and entered Jahnu Rsi’s asrama. Afterward, he successfully let the Ganga to Rasatala, in the lower planetary system, to liberate the sixty thousand sons of King Sagara.

Srila Baladeva Vidyabhusana – Disappearance
→ Dandavats



Srila Baladeva Vidyabhusana - Disappearance.
Sri Baladeva Vidyabhusana (Sri Govinda Dasa) appeared in the 1600’s near Remuna, Orissa. In his youth, he mastered Sanskrit grammar, poetry, and logic. After carefully studying the commentaries of Sankara and Madhva he took initiation in the Tattva-Vadi disciplic succession of Sripad Madhvacarya. Baladeva Vidyabhusana became a dig Vijaya Pandit (conqueror of all opponents) and began visiting the holy places. Wherever he went he defeated the local sages, scholars, and sannyasis.
The exact time and place of Sri Baladeva Vidyabhushana’s birth are unknown. Perhaps one day historians will be able to establish these facts beyond any doubt. From the little information that we do have about his life, we can conjecture that he was born in the 17th century of the modern era. Though we do not know the name of the exact village where he took birth, it was likely in the Balesore (Baleshvara) district of Orissa, somewhere near Remuna. From the date given in his commentary on Rupa Goswami’s Stavamala, it is clear that Baladeva was still living after the Battle of Plassey in 1757.

Varnasrama Education In The Modern World
→ Dandavats

Hare KrishnaBy Karuna Krishna Dasa

When Srila Prabhupada began his preaching labor in the West, in New York City, towards the second half of the 1960s, he synthesized in a sentence the essence of ISKCON's philosophy: "The process of Krishna consciousness is simultaneously easy and sublime." Although the phrase became very popular in those days, and was widely used as a slogan for the young preachers of our movement, it has been only with the passing of the years that we have been able to understand what Srila Prabhupada tried to communicate with that wording. The word "easy" does not mean "cheap". ISKCON as a hereditary, spiritual institution of Gaudiya Vaishnavism, has its goal as a creation of a community of pure devotees, people who serve God, without personal motives, uninterrupted and free of material desires. The progress in Krishna Consciousness should be shown by a gradual disappearance of the manifestations of lust, anger and greed in the heart of its practitioners. For that reason, we now understand that the word "easy" used in this slogan means "possible" or "available". In this way, if we follow this process it will be "easy" to reach positions like "sublime" within Pure Bhakti. Continue reading "Varnasrama Education In The Modern World

We want to communicate that we are having a lot of success with classroom teachers who are working along with our on-line proposal, using its resources and offering them to its students. This, undoubtedly, would be promoting the “best of each world” and benefiting the actual Vaishnava community which is eager to obtain an integral experience in its learning processes. We invite all teachers of the Krishna Consciousness in Spanish-language to take advantage of the resources e-learning that we offer in our educative campus and in this way improve our services which are vital to the improvement and evolution of our institution and our communities.

By Srila Prabhupada’s and the Lord’s mercy and with your and all the devotees’ prayers, I survived the stroke. Then, they found that when I was attacked in Madrid Airport by a crazy person in 1989, they had given me a blood transfusion to make up for the lost blood and that contained Hepatitis C virus. They postulated that the virus was from there because when they did the genetic workup of the virus, it was found to be a European strain.

My Favourite Pastime…
Jayapataka Swami: That’s the island of Simantadvipa. And Simantadvipa is named because Pārvatī took the dust of Lord Caitanya’s lotus feet and put it on her forehead, on her simanta. The part of the hair of the ladies where they put their sindoor. Most ladies have a parting in the middle. Some part on the side. The one in the middle is called the śimanta. The place of Lakṣmī.

Indradyumna Swami’s and my talks at the Panihati Cida-dadhi Festival in Laguna Beach on June 16 “Lord Nityananda was by nature very merciful and funny. Being merciful, He spoke to Raghunatha dasa as follows. ‘You are just like a thief, for instead of coming near, you stay away at a distant place. Now that I have captured you, I shall punish you. Make a festival and feed all My associates yogurt and chipped rice.’ Hearing this, Raghunatha dasa was greatly pleased.” —Sri Caitanya-caritamrta Antya 6.49–51 Continue reading "Panihati Cida-dadhi Festival, Laguna Beach

Hare KrishnaBy Bhaktivedanta Manor School

A quick glimpse into the Bhaktivedanta Manor Gurukula, the new temporary location on the Hilton property site in Watford. See how free and happy the children are and where they develop their connection with Krishna and Srila Prabhupada's movement. Why parents put their children into Bhaktivedanta Manor Gurukula: Some of the parents of the Bhaktivedanta Manor Gurukula give their opinions of why they feel the Gurukula is the natural and perfect choice for their children and what makes it so special. I don't want any child to say to their parents 'why did you put me in a Hare Krishna School.' Mother Gunacuda talks passionately about why being a teacher at Bhaktivedanta Manor Gurukula is such an important service and how giving students the best academics alongside love and care will ensure that these beautiful children will remain part of Lord Chaitanya's movement.

Hare KrishnaBy Hanumatpresaka Swami

Like the six blind men approaching the elephant I can only see things from my perspective, either in my siddha-svarupa or currently embodied intelligence. With sincere attachment to my perspective on the elephant (maybe from the tail) I should be able to have a practical appreciation of the viewpoint of others, but a really practical view of the beast can only result from a dialog with other blind men attached to its other aspects: legs, sides, ears, tusks, trunk.
