I [...]

Please accept my obeisances. Jai Srila Prabhupada! This is the first chance I’ve had to communicate via email. Kamalaati is slowly recovering the use of both arms.

by mrupa I’m afraid I do not remember too much about the coming of Saligram Sila to New Vrindavana. I do recall when Srila Prabhupad was deciding to begin the introduction of worshiping Saligram Sila in ISKCON, He first entrusted this highly delicate and demanding service to two long proven and highly devoted pujaris: Jananivas [...]

As Taken from the Oct. 1978 Issue of the Brijabasi Spirit:            The following was compiled from an interview with Kasyapa dasa wherein we talked about how he came to Krsna Consciousness and about his two major engagements-dressing Lord Jagannatha and driving a bulldozer.           I was always real attached to animals because that [...]

Haribol everyone, Last week Sunday school started and this Sunday for all those who come bring an empty shoe box for our Govardhana Puja project. Hope to see y’all there! Your servant, Rama Lila dd

by mrupa I’m not sure of the time sequence exactly. It must have been very early ‘70’s though and Big Lord Jagannatha was staying in one of the old (not the present log cabins) shacks along the little road out from the Vrindaban temple building. These were small one room uninsulated wooden board buildings, some [...]
