“So, how did I, a peanut-butter-and-jelly Nintendo kid from America, the land of plenty and plenty more, choose to enter as a brahmacari into the tradition of Gaudiya Vaisnavism as brought to the West by His Divine Grace A.C Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada? Why did I choose this as my occupation, rather than […]

There is a lot more to the story of the arrival of Sri Govardhan Sila than recounted in the brief paragraphs of the original article. At one point, Sankirtana Das and Gopisa Das did a two man play(Sankirtana taking the part of Radhanath Maharaj, and Gopisa-and-pillow taking the part of Mahabuddhi) depicting […]

My dear Hladini Devi Dasi,
Please accept my blessings. I beg to acknowledge receipt of your letter dated January 1, 1973, and I have noted the contents with great pleasure.
It is so nice to see how enthusiastic you are in executing this process of devotional service and how much you like […]

Since I arrived here at New Vrindaban Dham almost 3 months ago, it seems I have done nothing but eat prasadam day and night. I have crashed countless “home programs”, and eaten with a lusty voracious appetite, pigged out on Birthday cake & ice cream at numerous birthday parties, and while stuffing my face, had […]

Even to the point of […]

Last week, Radhika Ramana Prabhu, Dr. Ravi Gupta (you may remember him as the Oxford-graduate child prodigy who used to write for BTG), brought his class from Center College in Danville, KY to visit New Vrindaban.

They visited the cows, the temple, the Palace, heard from Sankirtan Prabhu and Damodar Prabhu, and spent time meeting and […]
