I had the opportunity to spend much of the our Janmastami Festival weekend with two devotees from Toronto, Jaganatha Misra and Rajasuya Prabhus. They came with their families to New Vrindaban dhama to bathe the Lord, get association from the Vaisnavas and chant the holy name.
On Saturday morning we all walked up to Sri […]

On August 18th, the first 24 Kirtan festival was held in New Vrndavan.
Hundreds of participants flocked from all corners of the east coast, driving as far as 15 hours, to attend this historical event. There are no hard and fast rules for chanting the holy names, no specific time or place is required, and […]

This evening we began the celebration of Jhulana Yatra. Devotees are welcome to come at Gaura arati time and offer some love-tugs for the most beautiful trascendental couple. It will go on only four more days.

See  you there!

Janaka Mahajana invited me down to Sri Sri Radha Vrindabancandra’s water and sewage treatment facility, just a short way down the road from the temple. We met up with Tejo Maya Prabhu and his son Gopal, who have been maintaining these services for quite some time.

It was amazing to see how much energy was put […]

Another time, Sankirtana, newly arrived to New Vrindavana, was very thoroughly and devotedly washing the Deity plates after the noon offering and dumping the water down what he thought was a regular sink drain….and washing his own feet in astonishment. You could frequently hear his distinctive voice calling from the kitchen for Ruci to bring […]

The following are some excerpts from emails that I have received from Gopi lila’s husband, Haribhakta written on the 20th and 22nd. Please keep her in your prayers, as Haribhakta so nicely states below, “ to carry her through her treatment and soothe her soul”.
From the 20th:  “Just wanted to inform you about Gopi lila’s […]

Madhuvana-smokey, cold, crazy, and dirty.
Madhuvana-one of the 12 forests of Vrndavana where Dhruva performed austerities and met both Narada and Lord Visnu face to face.
Madhuvana-an extension of the Lord Caitanya half of Golaka Vrndavana where Lord Caitanya and His associates reside eternally. Where ISKCON along with Srila Prabhupada are and where […]

As all of the Temple area residents should be aware of, there is still a shortage of water supply with the New Vrindaban Water System.  Although we’ve had so much rain lately, that has no real immediate effect upon the lower levels of water in the ground far below us where our well get the water […]

Krsi goraksya vanijya. Krsi means ploughing or agriculture and goraksya, cow
protection. These are the staples of society, this is what people live on. All
living entities subsist on grains. So the ksatriyas may direct and instruct
people, the brahmanas may perform their yajnas, but if they don’t eat then
giving shelter or instruction is not […]
