Dallas Ratha Yatra

Please accept my humble obeisances, All Glories to Srila Prabhupada!

Maharaja, enclosed a snapshot of the Dallas 2016 Chariot carrying Their Lordships Lord Jagannatha, Baladeva & Lady Subhadra to the awaiting Devotee's of Texas.

Was an interesting journey, our 2nd time at their Ratha Yatra, the community is very enthusiastic and accomodating. Drinks are passed out to all who will take while the parade is on, there is a small trailer to carry any who need to ride along and, of course, Prasadam is also distributed.

The weather was amazingly cool for May in Texas, we relished the moment and danced, chanted and followed the complete route. Police where very efficient and protected the avenues while we all carried on, no problems for the whole event. Returning to the Temple we enjoyed the park atmosphere of the Temple property. Nice lawns with tents of food, info and apparel to procure. We took much Prasadam from the TKG Academy booth, was a fund raiser for them and the baked goods were exquisite Seems the school is in need of expansion and more income, we did our part with investing in spanokopita's, savory pastries and a little ice cream... best deal of the day!

After attending other Ratha Yatra's the Dallas fanfare is the most intimate we've been to, the low-key ecstacy was a different change from the sometimes frenetic sidelines of the bigger festivals. As observed, the Lord's Rasa's adapt to every event and this was no exception, all involved were smiling along with Their Lordships.

Our next Ratha-Yatra will be in San Francisco, will see if I can bring some of that Southern hospitiality along!


All Glories to your service!!

ASA - Jaya Jagannatha Swami!   Thank you for wonderful report!  We are Boise for two days now. We have been packed with programs every day. Just like the Goswami Academy!

From 10.30am - 3.30pm was the inauguration of the Kaliya fountain on the new property. We had to work pretty hard with the Kirtan, yajna, talking with guests. Now few minutes with you all and then... Donor appreciation night in front to the new Hall - 160-donors.

Hare Krsna!

When do we have time for Dr. Samaresh or Peru conferenece?   Hmmm. Krsna will arrange. He is the Master of the Universe and our only job is to see to His happiness (returning to Braja!).

My personal question

9 years, 4 months ago by mukta singh in Special Category A

All Glories to Sri Guruji Maharaja and Gouranga Mahaprabhu

Radha Krsna Ki Jay and Goura Bhakta Ki Jay

Please accept my humble obeisances unto Sri Guruji's padmacharan that when I read Srimad Bhagavatam the explanation of 5.17.1. Among the explanation there is some portion " Standing on His right foot and extending His left to the edge of the universe, Lord Vamana became known as Trivikrama, the incarnation who performed three heroic deeds.

My simple question is what are the three heroic deeds? Guruji! Please explain clearly so as to understand smoothly.

I could not get the answer of my previous letter.

Yours fallen servant

Yamunesvara Das

HpS - ASA --- Bali Maharaja was very great. He conquered the King of Heaven, Indra-deva. Bali Maharaja was Master of the Universe.

With one step Vamana deva crossed the entire universe,

With another He pierced the covering of the universe,

With the third he defeated Bali Maharaja, the Master of the Universe and pushed him down to Patala.

Hare Krishna Maharaj,

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories toSrila Prabhupada.

Maharaj, as per your instruction for Sugopi's last year's Vyasapuja offering, we started a musical group with other devotees (Three of us, Mark, Inger and Juniper) and did a kirtan at a yoga studio on February 28th. The response was very very nice. All the attendees (15 total) bought a copy of Bhagavad gita.

The following are the comments on their facebook page:

"Thank you, thank you Boise Hare Krishna Temple for a wonderful Kirtan, tasty treats and stories from the Bhagavad Gita! We hope you will
come visit us again soon!"

"This was so amazing! I was deeply moved to tears! My entire body was tingling! So cool!!"

The Yoga Center also wanted Srinivas Prabhu to give another 2 hr class on Yama and Niyama. I am also approaching more yoga centers for
Kirtan. Thank you for your instructions Maharaj, and please give us sincerity and strength to follow your instructions. I hope to execute them for the pleasure of you and the guru parampara and not to inflate my false ego.

Your servant,

Sundari Radhika dd.

HpS - ASA - When we moved the Temple from San Francisco to Berklely Jayatirtha wrote to Prabhupada that the "preaching was good in Berkeley", and Prabhupada responded, "you have discovered that the preaching in good in Berkeley because you made the endeavor there. Wherever you make the endeavor you will discover that the preaching is good".

I see in it in my own life again and again. When I surrender to the situation, the preaching, Krsna shows me opportunities. Then we have to use our intelligence and sincerity how to do something in a new enviroment!

We have answered all the letters up to three days ago. After three weeks we have caught up on the mail!

We are Heros (TB/BW/UG et al).

Now it is 4.47PM. We have all our Gayatris, and 12 rounds done.

Phone call to India at 3.30AM and two to Boise.

Class to Hawaii.

Packing for ten-days of travel.

Hare Krsna!   Hare Krsna!

We live in a bubble of time and space,

Dominated by the feet of His Divine Grace.

There we chant the Maha-mantras, Three,

And thus we are informed on how things should be (Plans).

If you do the same,

Your tongue turn to flame.

And our Sankirtan burn all the stoopids to fire.

Urgente solución!

Gurudeva me gustaria que Ud. explicara y refutara estos temas en alguna conferencia futura con el libro viaje facil a otros planetas,  tengo una encrusijada debo explicar la teoria de Big bang, la cual es atea esta en la curricula educacional, y es la teoría emblematica, recuerdo que la mayoria de profesores cuando tocan ese tema dan una charla sobre la falsedad de la biblia y de la teoría creacionista, quisiera explicar esta teoría enfatisando su falsedad y me gustaria pasar la pelicula de Oscar de la luz de la bhagavata, que me recomienda, la geografía es interesante, ahora la veo mas como sankhya muy basico, que me sugiere, como ayudar a que los alumnos no rechasen o duden de su religión y a la vez conozcan de teorias cientificas y no sean influenciados por ideas ateas e impersonalistas de cientificos limitados.

HpS - Hare Krsna. Tiene que colectar la teoria del Big Bang en una forma simple y entonces podemos criticar.

Si puede tener con Hare Krsna Das en Mejico, el probablmente tiene gran lectura en esta area en Espanyol!
