BCS retreats as the example of lovable exchange

16-8-14. 'If you want to see the practice of love - the loving exchange between the people of all background, race and religion, without any tinge of lust and ego, you attened the retreat His Holiness Bhakti Caru Swami Maharaj organises in different parts of the world every year' said Yasoda Priya mataji, a Belgian devotess speaking with the participants of the Naamhat program in Boxtel, Holland. She is relating her observations of the retreat held in Malaga, Spain early this month.

'In the retreat, one takes up the problems of the others, if any problems arises and everyone tries to see how to make the people nearby happy', she said, relating to many organisational work and arrangements for the participants more than two hundred of them. Really, if that type of disposition is adopted by everyone, there will be no problems in the families and the society at large. And, 'it is always practical' keeping the Lord Krishna in the center of our activities and the devotional attitude required to display from within, it is possible that people can live in complete happiness' she replies to the arising questions.

Yasoda mataji is an outstanding example of a Krishna Conscious person, very energetic and active although in her late age of 86. Last December she attented the International Retreat in Ujjain, India and she could defeat in the daily recours of other young devotees. Her husband Wilfred is also a pious devotees of Krishna, also aged 85, drives hours long to attend the Vedic Cultural Programs. 

Yasoda and Wilfred are to us like the elderly parents, and they worry for us too. In the separated families due to political problems at home (Bhutan), children looks out their roots- the love from the grand parents. This aspiration gets fulfilled when they visit our home for the Naamhat programs. It is amaging that Yasoda and Wilfred, being in this advanced age practices Krishna Consciousness in their lives perfectly and they doe deserve a prize for recognition.

Een kort omschrijving Ekadasi

In elke maand zijn er twee Ekadasi. Ekadasi betekent letterlijk de 11e van de dag voor volle maan en nieuwe maan. Deze dag is ook als een Madhava tithi genoemd, de favorite dag van de Heer Krishna. Om  Ekadasi  volledig na te leven, zoals Ambarisha Maharaja dat deed, is erg zeldzaam. We zouden het zo moeten proberen te doen, maar worden beïnvloedt door dit huidige tijdperk, Kali- yuga . Maharaja Ambarisha leefde in Satya- yuga , en hij was zo sterk dat hij een jaar lang zou hebben kunnen vasten zonder te slapen, terwijl hij op één been zou staan, zonder water te drinken of zelfs maar adem te halen. In Kali- yuga  zijn we echter noch sterk noch vergevorderd; maar we zijn toch fortuinlijk. Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu heeft uitgelegd dat als we hongerig zijn op  Ekadasi , we wat fruit, sap of melk mogen nemen. We dienen niet voortdurend te eten. Het is niet zo dat we een liter van een bepaalde soort sap drinken, en een half uur later weer een ander soort sap nemen, om...

The time to harvest the spiritual and the material yeilds - Kartik

The auspicious month of Kartik, (8th October to 19th November) more popular known as the Month of Damodara, is here once again heralding the spiritually enlivening ‘Festival of Lights’. Its the month for harvesting material yeild from the corn, maize and barley field and also harvest the stpiritual wealth by devotional service to Damodar. Mother Yasoda bound little mischievous Krishna with ropes to the grinding mortar for having stolen butter and thus He came to be known as Damodara. The significance is in that the Lord of the Universe can be bound only by the rope of pure love. During thus Damodara month, devotees get the opportunity to personally offer Arati to Lord Damodara with ghee lamps and sing the very enchanting ‘Damodara astakam’, to receive the special mercy of the Lord. The Glories Of Kartik month “Pure devotional service to Me which, because it places Me under My devotee’s dominion, is very difficult to attain, is easily attained by following this vow in Mathura dur...

Loving Exchanges with my Dear Godbrothers‏- HH Bhakti Caru Swami Maharaj

6/6/13 Santa Barbara, USA, .  Dear Devotees,  Please accept my best wishes. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. A few days ago when I got to know that H.H. Giriraj Swami Maharaja was in Santa Barbara I decided to cut short my visit to Sacramento by one day and visit him. My initial plan was to spend two days with my very dear godbrother Udayananda Prabhu in Sacramento. When I informed him of my change of plan, he was not at all happy but when I explained the reason he understood my need to visit Giriraj Maharaja. Fortunately H.H. Indradyumna Swami Maharaja was also present with Giriraj Maharaja. He spends one month every year in Santa Barbara to prepare himself for his Polish tour. It was indeed a spiritual retreat to meet these two very exalted devotees and very dear disciples of Srila Prabhupada. Giriraj Maharaja has a place in Santa Barbara which is about one and a half hours drive from Los Angeles. It is a very serene and beautiful place famous for ...
