Brijabasi Spirit

Most of our readers see Brijabasi via feed readers and don’t see the comments. Jaya Murari posted the following as a comment and I think it deserves a wider viewing:
Hare Krsna, this is an English version of that same Damodara Song that was used in the RCV Temple during the “Interfaith Days” at New Vrindban, […]

Dear Devotees, Please accept my obeisances. Jai Srila Prabhupada. 
My wife, Kamalavati dasi, is en route to Bremen, Germany where she will undergo two major surgeries, one on her lower back and the second operation on her neck. The discs in her lower back and neck are pinching nerves due to deterioration. 
  The date of her surgery falls […]

(Krishna book second song from the first chapter)
Once upon a time there lived a righteous king,
Who ruled over Mathura and whose name was Surasena.
Now Surasena he had a son whose name was Vasudeva,
He married a young maiden, Devaki was her name.
Elephants, horses, chariots and beautiful girls
Followed the young bride into a unfamiliar world,
To ease […]

This past Saturday night, the streets of Athens, Ohio was filled with the annual hordes of The Halloween Street Party, a Mardi-Gras type of shindig where the crazy youth of America dress and act even crazier than usual, which is saying a lot. What a perfect time for the all-merciful Lord Jagannatha to make an […]

There has been a request to see more of Taru’s writings. He was the author of the Prasadam Addict series published in the 1970s in the original print version of the Brijabasi Spirit and recently republished here. The idea has occurred to me to collect all that he has written and make it […]

Dearest Vaishnavas,
During Kartik I greatly relish singing daily this English song glorifying Lord Damodar, and this year I thought I might humbly share this poem with others who might not be familiar with this superb rhymed verse originally penned in 1990 by my godbrother True Peace, and sung at New Vrindaban during Kartik for several […]

Haribol everyone,
This Sunday at 1:00 pm I will be starting a Sunday School for children 3 years and up. I apologize for the long delay.
Ruci has taken on the new school and can no longer do her class, so I am trying to see if consolidating two classes will work. We will give it […]

The following comment, was placed on the post titled
Confessions of the Prasadam Addict: Section 6 (final)
“His Divine Grace Srila Bhaktipada?!”
(the comment questions the use of this name in the article)
Thank you for pointing this out.
These articles were written in the 1970s.
That was his ISKCON approved name at the time. While it is no longer […]

In The Well
by Taru das
My dear readers, it is time to come to an understanding of the motivation behind these articles. We have attempted to be a little amusing and in this respect, there may have been a certain amount of success. But actually what we are trying to do is to describe the […]

Any questions or suggestions please contact Kuladri […]
