Everyone is in search of peace and happiness. In pursuit if this they, the convert into another forms religion, but the true formula for peace and happiness is already given in the vedic scriptures .This was the message given at the vedic cultural program on 3rd Saturday of March 2010 in Boxtel. More than 30 people participated in the program led by Sri Viswaroop prabhu. To attain peace, one has to consider three things: ie try to realize who you are,  who God is, and what your relation or duty towards God.

Nitya Nanda Triyodashi that fell on 28th January this year, is the commemorating day that began more than six centuries ago when the supreme personality of Godhead Sri Krishna appeared as a devotee in the mood of Radha with his entourage. The emminent among the entourage was Sri Nitya Nanda prabhu. He is also understood as Sri Sesha in the Vedic satyayug, Laxman in the century of Sri Ram and Baladev in Dwaper yug when Krishna the supreme God descended from his spiritual abode- Golok galaxy to this material universe, in His original transcendental form.  To glorify Sri Krishna's pasttimes Nityananda established a system of kirtan called sankirtan that embraces men of all races and faiths to gloryfy the supremem God collectively.

In this modern age, the problem of every kind are caused due to men's forgetfulness or ignorance of sin. What can be called as sin and why one should not commit sin is the issuse ignored in the modern academic pursuit. Ignorance or forgetfulness of this vital norm is the cause of all the problems, like terrorism, human rights violations, environmental pollution etc. In other words, people's disinterest in transcendental knowledge as mentioned truely in The Bhagavad Gita and such holy scriptures. This was discussed in the montlhly Vedic cultural program in the first month of the year.

A Belgian vaisnava devotee, Lalassamayi saw the Lord Krishna last Sunday personally and went with Him back to the spiritual kingdom of God. At the time of leaving her body, she streched her hands to touch something that others did not see. Another devotee attending her, asked if she has seen something. Lalassamayi replied replied: ' yes can't you see! here Krishna has come'. She narrated that she saw bright light in the room that made her turn towards it. And there was Krishna himself, came to take His pure devotee back to Golok- the top most universe in the spiritual realm. Thus the facts as is told in the Bhagavad Gita 4.9 never fails. Sri Krishna said to Arjun thus: janma karma ca me divyam, evam yo vetti tattvatah, tyaktva deham punar janma naiti mam eti so 'rjuna. This means One who knows the transcendental nature of My appearance and activities does not, upon leaving the body, take his birth again in this material world, but attains My eternal abode, O Arjuna.L...

Door: Sacha Wijmer Selissenwal kent een kleurrijke bevolking. Vanuit alle windstreken zijn mensen in de Boxtelse wijk neergestreken. Een van die mensen die zich in de afgelopen jaren hier een plaats heeft verworven is Nanda Gautam met zijn gezin. In 1999 kwam Nanda Gautam als een gevluchte journalist vanuit het koninkrijk Buthan naar Nederland. Drie jaar later kon hij zich herenigen met zijn vrouw en dochtertje. Hij werkt op Sint Lucas als docent video en als werkplekbegeleider. Om hier een plek te veroveren bedacht Nanda destijds iets praktisch. Hij en zijn vrouw Chandra begonnen elke derde zaterdag van de maand hun huis open te stellen voor mensen. Om samen te koken en te eten. Met koken beginnen Nanda en Chandra zaterdagochtend vroeg om 8 uur. Vanaf ongeveer 10 uur komen de gasten binnen, die onder hun leiding Buthaanse gerechten gaan koken. Halverwege de middag begint om vier uur de maaltijd. Iedereen mag zelf ook een bepaalde groente meenemen. Contact en integreren v...
