For the leading service to the auspicious body of Srila Prabhupada is HH Bhakti Caru Swami Maharaj awe-inspiring

'The principle of Sankirtan, as the future church of the world, invites all classes of men without distinction of caste, creed or clan to the highest cultivation of spirit.This church will extend all over the world and take place of all sectarian churches which exclude outsiders from the precincts of their mosque, church or temple'.  - Bhaktivinode Thakur, 1896.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada. Jay Sridham Mayapur. The land of the Golden Avatar. The place where the Supreme Lord’s inconceivable pastimes took place. And the Global Headquarters of Srila Prabhupada’s International Society for Krishna Consciousness. 

Festival season, and Kirtan Mela peaks in a frenzy of harinam sankirtan and ecstatic dancing – both in the temple and rocking on every street corner. Every few meters in this bustling Vedic city, we pay our obeisances to extremely elevated Vaishnava personalities. 

Here, it was announced on 17th February 2015 that His Holiness Bhakti Caru Swami Maharaj was nominated and voted in by his whole GBC peer group to become the Second Vice-Chairman of ISKCON’s Governing Body Commission.

The protocol is as follows: 
The GBC has more than 25 members, and is led by a 3-member Executive Committee – that is the Chairman, the First Vice-Chairman, and the Second Vice-Chairman. 

Every February, at the Annual General Meeting of the GBC in Mayapur, the Chairman resigns and is replaced by the First Vice-Chairman … and then the latter’s place is taken by the Second Vice-Chairman, who’s seat is taken by a new nominee… and so on. 

The new current Chairman is HG Praghosa Prabhu, and First Vice-Chairman is HG Sesa Prabhu. 

This means that HH Bhakti Caru Swami Maharaj will be the Second Vice-Chairman from Feb 2015 to Feb 2016. - First Vice-Chairman from Feb 2016 to Feb 2017. - Chairman from Feb 2017 to Feb 2018. 

Thus, Guru Maharaj will become Chairman of the GBC in a couple of years, for the second time - almost 30 years after he first served as the GBC’s Chairman (in 1989) - and 40 years after he joined ISKCON. 

Maharaj is very much looking forward to serving Srila Prabhupada’s ISKCON in this way over the next few years, with your continued support. 

Maharaj has been one of the pioneers in fortifying ISKCON centers around the world and very effective in protecting and preserving those facing dilapidation. Of such great contribution was to save New Mayapur Dhaam in France and Bhaktivedanta Manor in UK. Srila Prabhupada described his esteem society ISKCON as his body and himself living in his books.

Meanwhile GBC has announced the approval for the Sanyasa order of life as desired by two disciples of Maharaj, His Grace Ganganarayan Das and Lilasukha Das. 

The Sanyasa ceremony will be held on 5th March in Ujjain for Ganaganarayan and on 30th May for Lilasukha prabhu in Radhadesh.

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 daarna binnen een

The day after the  Lord Sri Krishna Janmastami  is the  Appearance Day of His Divine Grace Srila A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada , the  Founder-Acarya  of International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON).  He is the savior of the world from sinful maneuvers though his preaching of the Vedic literatures.  Srila Prabhupada was sent by the Lord to fulfil Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu's prediction  Prtvithe ache yata nagaradi grama, sarvatra pracara haibe more nama   - In every town and village of the world, My name will be heard . Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura wrote in his  Sajjona-tosani , "Soon there will be a time when the chanting of Krishna's name will be heard in England, France, Russia, Germany and America." His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, Founder-Acarya of International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON), appeared as Abhay Charan De, in 1896, in Calcutta. He first met his spiritual master, Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saras

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
