Srila Prabhupada's America sojourn is changing the world to better

Srila Prabhupada stepped the USA with the blessings of world peace and communal harmoney,  bestowed by the supreme personality of Godhead Sri Krishna.

He arrived with the Vedic trancendental revealed wisdom on 17th September 1965 at 5:30 in the morning. He put his lotus feet firstly at Boston's Commonwealth Pier, all alone and pennyless. He had a visa for two months but returned finally to India only after building 108 temples around the world in ten years period. He set a revolution to eleviate people of all background to the higher consciousness called Krisna Consciousness by building better society all over the world under the guidence of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness, he established in New York a year later. The life of anyone coming in cotact of this society or the books he wrote could see the change to trancendental bliss and meaningful, secured even for the life beyound this earth.This will eventually enable one to go back to the Godhead.

66th Vyaspuja celebrations in Boxtel

" I recognise the contribution of Srila Prabhupada and come to celebrate his arrival in the West" , said a Dutch man from Nijmegen who came to Naamhat Boxtel for the first time, on the occassion of Srila Prabhupadas Arrival Anniversay and the Vysa puja day of HH Bhakti Caru Swami Maharaj. Also came a Dutch lady and another deotvee from Leiden for the first time whose presence made this celebrations quite wonderful.

The program began with the glorification of Srila Prabhupada and of those who are contributing much to the mission of Srila Prabhupada. One cannot describe the strength and the contribution of the pure devotee of the Lord, so what Srila Prabhupada did for the peace and happiness of the entire world citizen is unfathomable. His disciples for example His Holiness Bhakti Caru Swami and grand disciples are continuing his legacy perfectly.

Participants of the celebrations discussing informally

Of the many many grand disciples, in my knowledge, the contribution of Shyam Sundar prahu who has been running Radhay Syam temple in Den Haag for more than a decade and organising Ratha Yatra in Den Haag is the contemporary example of the best contribution to the misson of Srila Prabhupada if his plan of contructing a temple in The Hague comes to a reality. On this occassion, therefore, Vrajendrasutta Das glorified his contribution and looks forward to help him in whatever way he can. Then all the participants spoke about their satisfaction of the Krsna conscious life and thanked Srila Prabhupada. Some auspicious items like diyo, kalas, tulasi, dainee sankha and upabita was offered to His Holiness Bhakti Caru Swami with the prayer for his good health and longivity. At that time Brahma Samhita was rehearsed followed by kirtan and prasad.

What Srila Prabhupada and his followers are preaching is the essence of the Varnasrma dharma, an eternal religion that a soul must do according to its constitutional duty. The duty, many times described as dharma or following the instructions of the Lord, as given in the Bhagavad Gita is to serve the supreme with love and  chant his holy name. Krishna is the almighty and the source of everything. For your peace prosperity and happiness one has to approach this original source directly. Prabhupad taught the methood so that you will attain the goal of life and we the followers facilitate that method for your wellbeing.  naamhat@hotmail.com
