Srimad-Bhagavatam 3.32.25 - from Sri Mayapur Candrodaya Mandir!

TRANSLATION: Because of his transcendental intelligence, the pure devotee is equipoised in his vision and sees himself to be uncontaminated by matter. He does not see anything as superior or inferior, and he feels himself elevated to the transcendental platform of being equal in qualities with the Supreme Person. Read the rest of this entry »

Apurvatam

Dear devotees,

Please accept my best wishes. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

It has been 4 weeks since I last wrote to you all, and a lot has happened in that time.

After I was in Lenasia I went to the Drakensberg Mountains between Johannesburg and Durban for a Japa Retreat with Giriraja Maharaja, who had not visited South Africa for 4 years, and Arcana Siddhi mataji from USA. It was quite an amazing experience, and I took lots of notes so I could duplicate the programme myself as I travel around. Read the rest of this entry »

SURFING THE WAVES OF MERCY IN SRI VRINDAVAN DHAM!!!

Please accept my humble obeisances.  All glories to Srila Prabhupada.  All glories to our most merciful Guru Maharaj!

I reported last from Jagganatha Puri Dham.  Our godbrother Avaduta Chandra das has covered the Sri Mayapur Dham part of the parikrama and I have the good fortune of reporting from Sri Vrindavan Dham.  I pray that I can successfully give you a glimpse of what we have been experiencing out here.

Most of us arrived in Sri Vrindavan Dham on the night of 10 November 2009. It was a long day of travelling.  We all left Sri Mayapur Dham very early and travelled in a convoy.  At the airport we saw Guru Maharaj briefly as we were on different flights.   We each had our own sets of austerities to deal with during our travels but we all eventually gathered in Sri Vrindavan Dham.

Puri parikrama report from Avadhutacandra prabhu

Saturday the 24th October. Arrival

I arrived in Bhubaneswar just before ten. Guru Maharaja’s flight was to be there after eleven, but it was announced the flight was late. I waited patiently, and then I saw that outside the devotees from Lithuania had arrived to receive our spiritual master. This was about 11.15A.M. Read the rest of this entry »
