Vrinda Kund is the eternal abode of Vrindadevi, Krsna’s Lila potency. Early every morning she, Purnamasi and Nandimukhi meet at this kund to arrange Radha and Krsna’s pastimes. By Her grace, we were fortunate to spend the day there with our parikrama party to hear and chant her glories and beg for her divine mercy. A video by Ananta Vrindavan.
Sponsorships for the Chakra installation abhisheka seva are starting to come in as more and more devotees hear about and become enthused by the idea of personally bathing the Chakras that will be placed onto the TOVP Domes.
This is a once-in-a-Lifetime opportunity to participate in a most amazing historic and prophesy fulfilling seva, our focused effort to build the TOVP as our combined offering to Srila Prabhupada and Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, as well as the new home for Sri Sri Radha Madhava.
“Similarly, if one is a businessman, an industrialist, an agriculturist, etc., then one should spend his hard-earned money for the cause of the Lord. Think always that the money which is accumulated is the wealth of the Lord. Wealth is considered to be the goddess of fortune (Lakṣmī), and the Lord is Nārāyaṇa, or the husband of Lakṣmī. Try to engage Lakṣmī in the service of Lord Nārāyaṇa and be happy.”
Srila Prabhupada, Srimad-bhagavatam 1.5.32
Radha Madhava Dome: 63
Lord Nrsimha Dome: 98

Update on Agnideva Prabhu’s health.
Dear devotees, friends and well wishers: The following is an update on Agnideva prabhu’s condition in a hospital in Sydney, Australia. Please keep the donations coming. Doctors are still trying to determine the cause of his lung failure to enable specific treatment.
The doctors maintain his status as, “Seriously ill, but stable.” Results of nuclear testing of blood samples have eliminated most bacterial infections. Chest x-rays show a slight improvement, however, he is still not breathing on his own and still requires a ventilator. His blood pressure is unstable. Doctors are investigating the possibility cardiac disease or damage through trans esophageal echocardiography.
Yesterday all nutrition drips were stopped to prepare for this procedure. Sedation was reduced and when his son Sadbhuja das said, “Haribol Dad, I’m going now,” Agnideva prabhu opened his eyes for a second.
Your servant,
Indradyumna Swami

By Prishni devi dasi Krishna-kripa dasa is known for his blissful engagement traversing the planet singing the glories of the Holy Name. But three decades ago he began what may appear to be a very different kind service with the Bhaktivedanta Institute: In 1988 he visited the San Diego branch and offered to engage his BA in Computer Science from Brown University, in its scientific preaching mission. The San Diego BI team – Sadaputa, Drutakarma, and Madhavendra Puri Prabhus – invited him in. He soon became a dedicated assistant of Sadaputa Prabhu, working hand-in-hand with him as he published many of his 9 books and dozens of articles on a wide range of topics dealing with science and the Vedic tradition.
