•ISKCON Melbourne, AU: Today's Darsana
"By such childhood pastimes as this He is drowning the inhabitants of Gokula in pools of ecstasy, and is revealing to those devotees who are absorbed in knowledge of His supreme majesty and opulence that He is only conquered by devotees whose pure love is imbues with intimacy and is free from all conceptions of awe and reverence.
With great love I again offer my obeisances to Lord Damodara hundreds and hundreds of times."
(Sri Damodarastakam)
With great love we again and again relish the wonderful darsana of Sri Damodara.

•Japa Group: Nectar Of The Holy Name
Hare Krsna my dear devotees, this is a very nice prayer by Srila Haridasa Thakur taken from the Harinama Cintamani. I hope you appreciate that.
Srila Haridasa Thakur's attachment to the holy name:
"My dear Lord, my consciousness is thoroughly mundane. Though I mouth the names of the Lord, I am too unfortunate to experience their transcendental touchstone qualities. O Lord! I beg You to please appear as the holy name and dance on my tongue. I fall at Your lotus feet and pray: if You like, You can keep me in this material world or place me in the spiritual sky. Whatever desire is Yours, You are free to fulfill, but please let me taste the divine nectar of Krsna's holy name. You have descended amongst the conditioned souls to distribute the holy name, so kindly also consider me, an insignificant jiva. I am a fallen soul and You are the savior of the fallen. Let this be our eternal relationship. O Savior! On the strength of this relationship, I am begging from You the nectar of the holy name."
I wish you have a great week of chanting and realisations.
your servant,
Aruna devi

•Toronto Sankirtan Team, CA: Looking for a home
I was at the corner of Yonge and College, one of the busy intersections in Toronto, and most people were simply zooming past me. That’s when a young girl with a smoke in her hand, stopped and turned back to look at what I had. She was really young so I wasn’t sure what to say. But I stuck with the basics and showed her the Bhakti Yoga. I had just read a beautiful note by Vijaya Prabhu about the ‘Dos and Don’t of Book distribution’ where Prabhupada explained that he wanted everyone to see pictures in his books as it would make them more curious. So I started to show her pictures and then requested her to take the book. All the while I was talking she kept appreciating the book but was looking at me with an empty stare and I could not quiet make out what it meant. When I requested her donation, she simply said ‘I am homeless’. I had a complete loss of words as the words just pierced my heart with shock. Gathering my wits I asked her oh, so do you believe in love or look for it. She gave a most definite yes and so I requested her to give me even a coin if she had it. She put a hand in her jacket and pulled out a begging coffee cup and gave me a coin that she had collected from begging. I gave her the book but could not check my emotions as she walked away. A quick look at some statistics showed that over 5000 homeless people in just the most affluent and industrial city in Canada. Actually who has a home in this material world, we were all living in homeless situations even when inside an apartment/house with what seems like a family. Had it not been for Srila Prabhupada’s powerful books and the magnanimous shelter of devotees, we would also be lost in the smoke screen of maya, wandering aimlessly through this life. Just like that little girl walking up and down the street with a smoke.
Srila Prabhupaa Lecture SB 6.1.25 Jul 1975 : Sanatana-dharma means when the sanätana-jiva, living entity, tries go to back home... That is our real home. Here it is not home. We have taken America as home. How long it is your home, sir? Say, fifty years, hundred years, that's all. Not this kind of home. So that home is eternal. That is called, therefore, sanätana.
Source Toronto.ca : If you include homeless people in Toronto’s correctional facilities, provincially run Violence Against Women shelters, and health care facilities, there were an estimated 5,086 homeless people in Toronto on the night of April 15, 2009, almost unchanged from the estimate in April 2006.

O Lord, I simply wish that this form of Yours as Bala Gopala in Vrndavana may ever be manifest in my heart, for what is the use to me of any other boon besides this?

By showering Your glance of mercy upon me, deliver this poor ignorant fool who is immersed in an ocean of worldly sorrows, and become visible to my eyes.
Damodarastakam
Every living being is anxious for full freedom because that is his transcendental nature. And this freedom is obtained only through the transcendental service of the Lord. Illusioned by the external energy, everyone thinks that he is free, but actually he is bound up by the laws of nature. A conditioned soul cannot freely move from one place to another even on this earth, and what to speak of one planet to another. But a full-fledged free soul like Nārada, always engaged in chanting the Lord’s glory, is free to move not only on earth but also in any part of the universe, as well as in any part of the spiritual sky. We can just imagine the extent and unlimitedness of his freedom, which is as good as that of the Supreme Lord. There is no reason or obligation for his traveling, and no one can stop him from his free movement. Similarly, the transcendental system of devotional service is also free. It may or may not develop in a particular person even after he undergoes all the detailed formulas. Similarly, the association of the devotee is also free. One may be fortunate to have it, or one may not have it even after thousands of endeavors. Therefore, in all spheres of devotional service, freedom is the main pivot. Without freedom there is no execution of devotional service. The freedom surrendered to the Lord does not mean that the devotee becomes dependent in every respect. To surrender unto the Lord through the transparent medium of the spiritual master is to attain complete freedom of life.
Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam (Bhāgavata Purāṇa) 1.6.37
•Madhava Ghosh dasa, New Vrndavan, USA: Devotee Brothers Use Sports to Build Community and Keep Youth Fit
In Alachua, Florida—home to North America’s biggest ISKCON community—two second generation devotee brothers have found that sports can be a healthy part of a balanced Krishna conscious lifestyle.
Samba Zaldivar, 36, and Raghunath Zaldivar, 31, have played soccer for many years and have found it a good way to keep the “temple of the body” fit, as well as to build community and contribute positively to the development of the next generation of ISKCON youth.
Raghunath, a father of two, has served as a P.E. teacher in the local charter school for nine years, where a large percentage of the students are devotees.
He began playing soccer while at the Gurukula day school in Gita Nagari, Pennsylvania in 1986 and ‘87, and when he moved to Alachua the following year, began playing in the city’s local recreational soccer league.
At twelve years old, his talent was spotted, and he was picked to play for a select team by the US Youth Soccer Association, traveling to cities throughout Florida to play other all-star teams until he was seventeen. At the same time, Raghunath—known to his friends as Raghu—made the varsity team at his high school, Santa Fe, and became its all-time leading scorer with 62 goals, a record he still holds.
“I had some really cool experiences there,” he says. “There was a whole bunch of devotee kids on the team. Once while we were on the bus, some of the other kids starting asking us what the Hare Krishna mantra was, and when we told them, they wanted to chant it. The next thing we knew, the whole bus was roaring out the Hare Krishna mantra!”
After high school, Raghu received a scholarship to play for Carson-Newman, a Baptist liberal arts college in Tennessee. Traveling to neighboring states such as Kentucky, Georgia, North and South Carolina, Virginia, and Alabama while playing for its soccer team, he established strong bonds with his fellow players and introduced many of them to Krishna consciousness too.
“They’d see me chanting japa, and would have many questions about it,” he says.
Graduating from Carson-Newman in 2002 with a degree in communications, and a minor in psychology, Raghu didn’t have to wait long to find a job. Upon moving back to Alachua, he was contacted by the head of the local charter school who asked him if he’d be interested in applying for the position of P.E. teacher. He did, got the job, and now, nine years later, he hasn’t looked back.
“I love my job,” he says. “I teach 165 students right now, about half of whom are devotees, from Kindergarten through eighth grade. We do warm-up exercises, stretches, the Presidential Challenge Physical Fitness program, rock-climbing, and tons of games—American football, soccer, and many games that I made up and the kids gave crazy names. There’s Raghuball, which they love—it’s a combination of Capture the Flag and Dodgeball—and Death Lane, which is also a type of Dodgeball. In this country right now, we have a big problem with childhood inactivity, obesity and heart disease—so many kids just stay inside and watch TV and play videogames all the time. Our philosophy is to make sure the kids have a really good time and learn to enjoy physical activity, so that they have a positive outlook on it throughout their lives.”
Raghu also seeks to give youth a positive experience of Krishna consciousness, and has contributed to his community by organizing a mentoring program and other schemes in the past. Recently, however, he has managed to combine sports and Krishna consciousness for a wonderfully unique offering to the youth of ISKCON Alachua.
Coach Raghu (back row, third from the left) with teachers and P.E. students from Alachua charter school
Every year, in October or November, Raghu rents the gym at the Alachua Recreation Center, and organizes a spectacular lock-in for thirteen to eighteen year olds from the local ISKCON community. The teenagers stay up all night from 8pm until 8am, playing sports such as soccer, Basketball, Raghuball, and a gurukula favorite called Dadhi Bandha.
Prasadam is provided for them throughout the night, and mixed in with this healthy, supervised fun are many Krishna conscious activities. Various devotee speakers from the community make presentations on Srila Prabhupada, the Bhagavad-gita, the Holy Name, and even local preaching efforts such as Gainesville’s Krishna House.
“They absolutely love it,” Raghu says. “As soon as one lock-in ends, we get kids asking us when the next one is for the rest of the year!”
Raghu’s brother Samba, who has also played soccer since high school, also uses sports to create a positive social and fitness experience for the local Hare Krishna youth, but in a slightly different way—he has his own soccer team.
“Back in 1996, when I was twenty-two, we started a team called The Pandavas, after the heroes of the Mahabharata,” he says. “Eighteen out of the twenty-two players were devotees, who would come out and play with shaved heads and sikhas. The community would show up to our games playing mridangas and kartalas. It was crazy.”
Although the Pandavas only lasted two seasons, in 2004, Samba decided to start a new team of second generation devotees. While the number of devotee players has sometimes fallen, today, there are fourteen amongst the twenty team members of “Real Alachua.”
“What’s special about it is that I also used to teach P.E. at the New Raman Reti school on our ISKCON property years ago, and now many of the kids I taught have grown up and are my team-mates,” says Samba. “The team chemistry is great, because we all know each other so well.”
Affiliated with the Gainesville Regional Soccer League (GRSL), Real Alachua has won six League championships and five tournament championships, and remains one of the top teams.
“If you look at our roster now, it’s full of names like Govinda, Krishna, Balarama, Mathura, and Uddhava,” Samba says. “That’s pretty awesome!”
Describing his team as keeping devotee kids engaged in a healthy, clean way, Samba adds, “Apart from me and my brother, who is also on the team, many of the others are between the ages of eighteen and twenty. So sometimes I’ll find myself coaching them. If they loose their temper, for instance, I encourage them to relax and remind them that it’s just a game.”
Raghu, whose priorities are bringing his children up in Krishna consciousness, contributing to his community, and doing Deity worship both at home and at the temple, agrees.
“In sports, as in life, we must remember to play the game, but not be attached to the results, as Krishna says in Bhagavad-gita,” he explains. “Sports are good for your body’s health, and can be a positive recreational activity; and I think playing them is fine as long as we always remember not to take them too seriously and loose focus of what’s really important in life—Krishna.”

•ISKCON Malaysia: A Special Day with the Young Ones
BY MALINI PRITII DEVI DASI
Thank God It’s Friday (TGIF) is the first thing that comes to my mind, waking up on a Friday morning. As for most us, this is like the Heaven on Earth day, since it is the last day of the working week, unless you are some crazy workaholic.
Now we have the most SPECIAL inspiration; the Food For Life Malaysia and Bramacharis team organises FFL and Sastra Dana programs mostly at schools on Fridays. Of course some programs are also organised on other days of the week. So on 14 October 2011, a joyful event was organised at SRK(T) Thamboosamy Pillai, Sentul. For Simheswara, Rasa Parayana prabhus, it was bringing back time in memories, as it was their hometown!
Malaysian timing or Indian timing? NO WAY, when it comes to school programs. Everything has to be punctual. The event commenced at 10.00 am with Siva Caitanya prabhu guiding the school children to sing the Hare Krishna Maha Mantra. Ha, this is interesting! We had Rasa Parayana prabhu playing the kartal and Santi Vardhana Caitanya prabhu dancing on the stage, teaching them how to sway their body to the left and right and saying Haribol! Vallabhi mataji was also guiding the kids to chant. Good coordination ah? The children were having so much fun! All you can see is smiles and laughters! They were very enthused (Yes, better response than a Sunday feast program, haha). Soon after, they had a competition between boys and girls; as to who sang louder, correctly with proper coordination. They had to listen to Siva Caitanya prabhu singing and follow the dance steps of Santi Vardhana Caitanya prabhu. With eyes closed, you can tell, the girls obviously followed better (I am not being a feminist here, haha). Later, they also had volunteers from the students, to chant the Maha Mantra and rest to follow!
Santi Vardhana Caitanya prabhu gave a brief speech on Krishna Consciousness and Bhagavad Gita. When he asked “Who Krishna Spoke the Bhagavad Gita to?” Some of the kids answered “Indians!!!” haha! One boy got it right, he said loudly “Aaaaarrrrrjjuuuunaaaaa!” It was then time for Book Distribution! BBT Malaysia is very systematic, where books were given according to their age category which includes colouring books, children books, some simple reading philosophical books and we also had books for the teachers. Srila Prabhupada ki! Jai!
Santi Vardhana Caitanya and Siva Caitanya prabhus presented the books to the school teachers and kids. They were all so so so happy to receive the books and I personally saw some children going through them which was very encouraging.
Meanwhile the rest of the team were preparing prasadam packets for the kids! And Guess What’s special? It is Malaysians all time favourite NASI LEMAK preparation, with corn jelly and lime drink to quench the thirst of the noon heat!! These were prepared by our Masterchef Malaysia Mayapur Chandra prabhu and team.
After having prasadam, some teachers took the opportunity to learn more about Krishna Consciousness, they were speaking to Simheswara, Santi Vardhana and Siva Caitanya prabhus. They had many interesting questions and they personally were happy and thanked the team to have such encouraging, spiritually enlightening and wonderful program which benefits not only the kids but also the teachers themselves. In total: 26 Krishna Story Hard Bound and 309 small and medium size literatures and 350 prasadam packets distributed. P/S: Let me tell you, Children are so much fun.
And if you had a crazy week, consider taking leave on a Friday, because this is not only a spiritual program, it is stress relief, fun, exciting and very satisfying at heart. In summary: YOU WILL LOVE IT! We also need more volunteers to assist the FFL Malaysia team; it would be wonderful if you could give a hand. The more the merrier! Come on!
