A description of variety in spiritual world.   • Email to a friend • • Japa Group: High Standard Of Service Hare Krsna dear devotees, I hope you have come to this new year with lots of faith in the holy names of the Lord, especially convinced that we can be freed from all our material desires simply by chanting with pure hearts. I have noticed when I cook something to the Deities that when I engage my heart, my senses and become focused in what I want to present to the Lord as a service, it always has a perfect result. The preparation is delicious for everyone and maybe this is a sign that the Lord has appreciated my dedication to serve Him properly. The same way when we chant, our chanting must be focused and heart felt and expecting only to serve the Lord by calling out His names. May Krsna bless us all this year with accurate intelligence to serve Him with high standard and precious love. your servant, Aruna devi   • Email to a friend • • ISKCON Melbourne, AU: Today's Darsana The pastel blue and white set of our presiding Deities in Melbourne, with love hearts-shaped clouds, depicts today's weather: fresh and boreal!

All glories to Sri Guru and Sri Gauranga. We, the Executive Committee of ISKCON’s Governing Body Commission, wish to hereby express our bereavement on hearing of the passing of Sripada Narayana Maharaja. As a disciple of His Divine Grace Bhaktiprajnana Kesava Gosvami Maharaja, who was the Godbrother and sannyasa guru of His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, Founder-Acarya of ISKCON, Sripada Narayana Maharaja had been a long time acquaintance of our Srila Prabhupada. He assisted him in his early days in the United States, assistance for which Srila Prabhupada expressed his appreciation. At this time we remember Sripada Narayana Maharaja as a dedicated and powerful preacher. He traveled around the world to deliver the message of Srimad-Bhagavatam and spread Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu’s mission. He also translated important Vaisnava texts. Sripada Narayana Maharaja lived a long and fruitful life in devotional service and was an inspiration to many. We pray the Lord will give comfort to his disciples and followers in this difficult time. On behalf of all the members of ISKCON, we offer him our respectful obeisances. vancha-kalpatarubhyas ca krpa-sindhubhya eva ca patitanam pavanebhyo vaisnavebhyo namo namah The GBC Executive Committee, Madhu Sevita das Hrdaya Caitanya das Bhakti Caitanya Swami (Received via email) Share this story your way:   • Email to a friend • • Subhavilasa das ACBSP, Toronto, CA: Krishnas welcome New Year by chanting names of God 1M times The people of Utah were given a massive gift on New Year's Day, meant to bring peace, happiness and blessings. Devotees worshipping at the Krishna Temple in Spanish Fork spent the day chanting the names of God one million times, the first time such a feat has ever been accomplished in Utah, according to temple officials. Temple founder and priest Charu Das said the devote wanted to dedicate 2011 to God. "How can you start the New Year off any other way?" he said. "It sets the tone and course for the year." Worship at the Krishna Temple, which is also known as the Lotus Temple, and the Sri Sri Radha Temple, is always a joy-centered experience, and Saturday was no exception. In addition to a feast at noon, worshippers sang, danced and chanted in the temple sanctuary before a hand-carved altar marked with traditional offerings, flower leis and lush green plants. Das said he liked to explain the significance of the New Year event by likening it to proxy ceremonies in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. "We are doing it for all the people who live here," he said of the state of Utah. "We would like to do one name of God for every resident, if we could. Our mood is that we are going to donate our blessings to our fellow Utahns."

I plan to be in Baroda for both these festivals also. Sorry for the repeated changes. This should be final. hari-guru-vaisnava dasa, BVS   • Email to a friend • • Bharatavarsa.net: Bhakti Vikasa Swami: disciples as spiritual masters A spiritual master should be treated as good as Hari, the Supreme Person. But the spiritual master does not think of himself as Hari, although he is offered the respect of Hari. He thinks of himself as the humble servant of Hari and all others. A spiritual master takes his disciples as his spiritual masters. That is the position. He thinks Krishna has sent me so many spiritual masters. He does not think himself as spiritual master. He thinks of himself as their servant, because they have to be trained. Krishna has appointed him to train them. Therefore, he thinks of himself as the servant of the disciple. >>> Ref.
