Global Spiritual Retreat in December 2015

Ujjain Global Retreat 2015 

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 Third Global Spiritual Retreat at ISKCON Ujjain from 25th to 31st December 2015. 

For registration and more information, please visit: https://goo.gl/KaG0lC 

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. The theme for this Retreat will be: Nectar of Srimad Bhagavatam – Krishna’s Pastimes in Mathura and Dwaraka 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

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
