Ter Kadamba Prabhu is preaching in front of Harvard University Science Center. We can do this anywhere!
A masterpiece that can be read again and again!
Indradyumna Swami: Dear Devotees: There are certain priceless treasures that I keep close to my heart as I travel and preach around the world. Things that give me great inspiration; like the holy names, my beloved deities, instructions that Srila Prabhupada gave me and certain special items like a bead from Srila Jiva Goswami’s japa-mala and a small piece of cloth from Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu. I also carry the following 1994 Vyasa Puja offering of Sivarama Swami everywhere I go. I must have read it hundreds of times… and each time I read it I cry. For me, it reveals the essence of Lord Caitanya’s samkirtan movement and the heart of my spiritual master, Srila Prabhupada. Some of you may have read it and others not. In either case, it’s a masterpiece and can be read again and again.

By Bhurijana dasa Srila Prabhupada: Everywhere, in the office, there is some immediate boss. So you have to please him. That is service. Suppose in office, in a department there is office superintendent. And if you do in your own way, “Yes, I'm doing my business,” and the office superintendent is not pleased, do you think that kind of service is nice? No. Similarly, everywhere we have got immediate boss. So we must work. That is systematic. If everyone manufactures, invents his own way of life, then there must be chaos. SUDAMA: Yeah, that's true. Srila Prabhupada: Yes. Now we are world organization. There is spiritual side, and there is material side also. That is not material side. That is also spiritual side, systematic management. Otherwise how it will be done? Continue reading "Management: Material or Spiritual?

ISKCON Holds Farm Conferences in Brazil and USA.
In the hopes of launching a support network for ISKCON farms around the world, the GBC Ministry for Cow Protection and Agriculture is holding conferences on simple living in four continents this year.
The first two, in South America and North America, were held last month with encouraging results.
The South American conference, running from August 5th to 7th, took place at the Goura-Vrindavan farm in Paraty, Brazil, three-and-a-half hours’ drive from Rio de Janeiro. Covering 1,600 acres, it is located in the middle of the Atlantic Rainforest, a large forest reserve that is richer in plant life than the Amazon.
Around 60 people attended the conference, including leaders and residents from ISKCON farm communities, as well as sympathetic professionals in relevant fields such as ecologists and agroforestry lawyers.
“The first day was an internal meeting for representatives from different ISKCON projects to identify our needs, and to discuss the benefits of networking and what we could achieve together,” says conference coordinator Kalakantha Das, a Brazilian agriculturist.

By Candrabhaga devi dasi Padayatra Iceland was a joint event largely made possible by the efforts of Bhakta Pavel, who last year had gone to the main town of Reykjavik on a book distribution mission. Happy with the success of his mission, he planned another visit for the summer of 2016 both to the city and to a remote tourist area of northern Iceland called Akureyri. While in Mayapur during the padayatra ministry seminars for the ILS event, I thought about how to expand, to do more padayatras to reach the goal of 50 padayatras for Iskcon 50. Being inspired by the stories of worldwide padayatras, I returned home to Sweden and inquired from Pavel about the opportunity to convert the book distribution mission into a padayatra program. We advertised far and wide, even amongst former padayatris, but ultimately it was a small team going to the remote villages surrounding Akureyri. Continue reading "Padayatra in Iceland

Сентябрь 2016 года ознаменует начало второго тура ХВП по сбору пожертвований в Южной Африке в честь празднования 50-ой годовщины ИСККОН и жертвоприношений Шрилы Прабхупады во имя миссии Шри Чайтаньи Махапрабху.
Первый тур, прошедший в 2013 году, стал нашим главным достижением: тогда преданные заявили о своей готовности пожертвовать ХВП более 3 миллионов долларов США. Однако в этот раз тур украсят и благословят падуки (сандалии) Господа Нитьянанды и ситари (шлем) Господа Нрисимхадева, которых будут сопровождать Его Милость Джананивас прабху, а также Амбариша прабху, Враджа Вилас прабху и Сваха матаджи.
Тур начнётся 15 сентября и продлится 10 дней. В ходе него делегация посетит храмы и дома в городах Дурбан, Кейптаун, Ботсвана и Йоханнесбург. Преданные в экстазе делают все приготовления для приветствия Господа и Его делегации и для того, чтобы максимально увеличить посещаемость мероприятий. Мы будем публиковать ежедневные отчеты на сайте ХВП и на нашей странице в Facebook, а также в социальных сетях ИСККОН.
Мы хотим поблагодарить Его Святейшество Бхакти Чайтанью Свами, ДжиБиСи, и всех лидеров движения в Южной Африке за их постоянную поддержку и удивительный дух сотрудничества в претворении этого тура в жизнь. Этот не проект, созданный несколькими вайшнавами, а результат усилий всех преданных и доброжелателей ИСККОН по всему миру. Вместе мы сможем осуществить его и поставить себе в заслугу возрождение великого движения Санкиртаны в истории современно цивилизации. Это принесёт подлинное духовное благо как нам лично, так и всему миру в целом.

September 2016 will mark the undertaking of the second TOVP fundraising tour in South Africa in commemoration of ISKCON’s 50th Anniversary and Srila Prabhupada’s sacrifices for the mission of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu.
The first tour in 2013 was a major success bringing in over $3 million (U.S.) in pledges from the devotees. However, this time Lord Nityananda’s padukas (shoes) and Lord Nrsimhadeva’s sitari (helmet) will grace and bless the tour and will be accompanied by His Grace Jananivas prabhu and Ambarisa, Braja Vilas and Svaha prabhus.
The tour begins on September 15th and will continue for ten days visiting temples and homes in the cities of Durban, Cape Town, Botswana and Johannesburg. Devotees are ecstatically making arrangements to greet the Lord and His associates for the tour in order to maximize attendance. Daily reports will be posted on the TOVP website and Facebook Page and on ISKCON social media sites.
We want to thank His Holiness Bhakti Caitanya Swami, the GBC, and all the South African leaders for their continued support and wonderful cooperative spirit in making this tour possible. This is not the project of a few individuals but a worldwide effort of all ISKCON devotees and well-wishers. Together we can make this project happen and take the credit for pioneering the great Samkirtan movement in the history of modern human civilization. This will bring real spiritual good to both ourselves personally and the world in general.

«Ваша любовь ко мне проявится том, как вы будете сотрудничать друг с другом в мое отсутствие»
Шрила Прабхупада
Команда ХВП выражает глубокую признательность Его Святейшеству Гопалу Кришне Махараджу, всем его ученикам и преданным храма в Дели за их жертвоприношение, сотрудничество и пример помощи в сборе средств на строительство ХВП, которую они оказали на прошедшей недавно церемонии Вьяса-пуджы Махараджа. Уже во второй раз Махарадж пригласил нас на торжество. Он и его ученики являются лидерами в Индии по финансированию самого дорогого Шриле Прабхупаде проекта.
Несмотря на то, что большинство преданных, посетивших это мероприятие, присутствовали на нем и в прошлом году (когда собравшиеся пообещали перечислить проекту 2,4 миллиона долларов США), и уже жертвовали ХВП, некоторые из них несколько раз, в этом году эти же преданные пообещали внести еще 350 тысяч долларов. Мы навечно благодарны таким преданным Вайшнавам за их поддержку.
Враджа Виласу прабху, директор по сбору средств, выпала возможность дважды проповедовать собравшимся, и сам Гопал Кришна Госвами решительно высказался в поддержку проекта ХВП, ведь Шрила Прабхупада непосредственно дал Махараджу наставление помогать в развитии этого проекта. Махарадж вдохновил всех, кто уже заявил о том, что внесет определенное пожертвование, как можно скорее выполнить свое обещание, тех, кто еще не сделал такое заявление, сделать это вне зависимости от размера суммы, которую они могут пожертвовать, а тех, кто уже перечислил всю обещанную сумму, пожертвовать снова.
Что касается других мероприятий по сбору средств в Индии, на сегодняшний момент мы готовим тур в Гуджарате, который пройдет в предстоящие месяцы под руководством и с благословления Яшоматинанданы прабху. В нем примут участие Падуки Господа Нитьянанды, Стари Господа Нрисимхи в сопровождении Джананиваса прабху. Также на 2017 год запланированы туры по Северной и Южной Индии. Мы молим о благословениях Его Святейшества Гопала Кришны Махараджа и ДжиБиСи в Индии, а также всех преданных на все продолжающийся успех.
Сейчас мы видим, что самый важный проект Шрилы Прабхупады становится реальностью благодаря сотрудничеству и поддержке всех лидеров и преданных ИСККОН. Эти совместные усилия больше всего удовлетворяют Шрилу Прабхупаду, именно благодаря им на нас прольются его благословения и милость, и одновременно с этим мы выполним миссию Господа. Наша цель – завершить храм к 2022 году – нам вполне по силам.
