Sivarama Swami When a Krishna Conscious person is elevated to a responsible position, he never becomes puffed up. Just like a tree when overladen with fruits becomes humble and lower down; similarly, a great soul in Krishna Consciousness becomes humbler than the grass and bowed down like the fruitful trees because a Krishna Conscious person acts as the agent of Krishna, therefore he discharges his duty with great responsibility. - Srila Prabhupada   • Email to a friend • • ISKCON Melbourne, AU: February-May FOLK News Online Your February-May edition of FOLK news will arrive in your letterbox this week.

During the last month of the year, temples around the world make a focused effort to share (distribute) as many books of ancient, spiritual wisdom with the public! With continued inspiration from HG Vaisesika das, the goal this year was to distribute 5,000 books (that's twice the amount of last year's marathon goal). Were the devotees successful in their efforts? Watch this video to find out!   • Email to a friend • • ISKCON Melbourne, AU: Today's Darsana The description of Sri Nityananda-Balarama in the Sri Nityananda Caritamrita is quite befitting today: "He decorated His head with a turban made of colourful cloths. He wore beautiful earrings, and His brightly shining face defeated the beauty of the moon. He had bracelets on His hands and rings on His fingers... His head resembled that of a lion, and His shoulders those of an elephant... His golden limbs exuded prema..." Here's the darsana of the expansions of the Lord of the universe as Srila Vrndavana Dasa Thakura would see it through divine revelation.   • Email to a friend • • Japa Group: We Have To Very Cautious From this we can understand how we have to very cautious in executing our spiritual duties by observing the rules and regulations and regularly chanting the Hare Krishna maha-mantra.

He places them into the wombs of women who indulge in sexual intercourse regardless of the restrictions on time and circumstance. >>> Ref.

Well, as much as her newborn eyes can gaze.   We only invited two guests, but one brought four kids and the other brought one. I wanted to be sure we would have enough cake on hand. These cupcakes were the only non-vegan food at the party. Because none of the kids are vegan.   We went the easy route when menu planning. My husband made these delicious tofu kebabs in a spicy peanut sauce.   I made tofu kebabs in a barbecue sauce. Bindu was in the Bjorn, so Babu put them in the oven for me.   Vegan organic chocolate cake from Amaradha. My favorite!   My husband's first venture into American Cuisine: vegan Rice Krispie treats.   Salad + dressing, brown rice and tofu/eggplant/chickpea/spinach sabji rounded out the menu.   Best birthday ever...complete with Baby Bindu!   Clean Up   Art left by one of our small guests.   The next day, off to another party....     Tagged: brunch, dessert, food, tofu, vegan, vegetarian   • Email to a friend • • Dandavats.com: Message from ISKCON Minister for Health and Welfare By Prahlada- nanda Swami In 1967, Srila Prabhupada wrote to a disciple: "Be careful about your health frst. Tis information is not only for you but all my noble sons. I am an old man. I may live or die it does not matter. But you must live for long time to push on this Krishna Consciousness movement."
