ISKCON Ujjain Global Spiritual Retreat 2014 with His Holiness Bhakti Charu Swami

25-Dec-14 to 31-Dec-14
Dear Devotees,Please accept my best wishes. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

I hope by Krishna’s mercy that you are happily situated in Krishna consciousness.
I invite you to the second Global Spiritual Retreat at ISKCON Ujjain from 25th to 31st December 2014.
For the last few years we have been holding regional retreats, and last December we held the inaugural annual global retreat in Ujjain for devotees from all over the world. I encourage you all to attend this year too.
ISKCON UjjainThe theme for this Retreat will be: Srila Prabhupada – The Founder-Acharya of ISKCON. Why have we chosen this theme? Because we need to constantly emphasise and remind ourselves of Srila Prabhupada’s unique position in our movement. There are many founders and many acharyas, but only one Founder-Acharya of ISKCON. We will cover in detail the GBC statement that Srila Prabhupada is the preeminent siksha-guru for everyone in ISKCON. We will also cover the prayers of Queen Kunti, relish in Gaura-katha and enjoy kirtan everyday!
ISKCON Ujjain has grown to become an outstanding and vibrant temple with a spiritual atmosphere that is admired by everyone who visits. Ujjain is a very important spiritual place of Krishna’s pastimes. It is here that Krishna came to study in Sandipani Muni’s ashram. He also came here to claim the hand of Mitravinda, one of the eight principal queens of Lord Krishna. Ujjain is one of the four holy cities where Kumbha Mela takes place and it is also the place of one of the 12 jyotir lingas where Lord Shiva eternally resides. It was for King Indradyumna, the King of Avanti (Ujjain), that Lord Jagannath appeared. Actually the spiritual potency of Ujjain is undoubtedly unique and that becomes revealed when you visit here. Many devotees have said that being in this place does not feel like being in modern India.
It is by Srila Prabhupada’s mercy that we have this wonderful opportunity to get together. The temples of ISKCON are actually the places of pilgrimage where devotees can meet. They are also educational institutions where sincere devotees get the opportunity to study the science of Krishna consciousness. At the same time, the temples of ISKCON are the hospitals where the living entities, suffering from the terribly contagious disease of materialism, get an opportunity to get cured.
As a representative of Srila Prabhupada, it is my duty to guide you to his divine lotus feet. Attending such retreats will undoubtedly give us an opportunity to take full advantage of what Srila Prabhupada has given us to make rapid spiritual advancement.
I very much look forward to seeing you at the retreat.
Yours in the service of Srila Prabhupada,
Bhakti Charu Swami

HH Jayapataka Maharaj I was very fortunate to have a long and intimate association with His Holiness Jayapataka Swami Maharaja since I joined ISKCON. Undoubtedly he is one of the most exemplary leaders of ISKCON today. With the sincerity he is serving Srila Prabhupada is extremely praiseworthy. As a matter of fact ever since he met Srila Prabhupda he offered himself completely to his service and the way he is serving him till today is a wonderful example for all of us. In the early days in Mayapur there were not so many devotees. Therefore, we had the oportunity to have a very close relationship with each other. Although he was the leader of Maypur, he was very humble and carin...

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...

Manav Dharma of Satpalji Maharaj will be better only IF they follow Krishna Consciousness also

OPINION By elevating yourself to Krishna Consciousness your goal of having a human form of life will be attained easily and quickly as you would qualify to get into the kingdom of God. On the earth too, you will live  in peace of mind.There is not other authentic quick and easy way. Every one needs peace and thus the human races has been in search of peace and happiness all the time. They are looking for the methods that would hopefully enable them attain peace mentally and physically. In the process some look out for the ascending order of methods, some the descendeing order. Both deserve equall respect although one method would be more beneficial and easy than the other depending on the individual themselves. The perfect wisdom to accept for peace or liberation is the descending process of wisdom. This means the proces of attaining peace and happiness by accepting the wisdom that is given by the absolute creator, Lord Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead. This wisdom ...
