Hare Krishna,

Dandavats, Pranams, Srila Prabhupada Ki Jaya! Guru Maharaja ki Jaya!!

There are many devotees who will be missing attending the vyasa puja in person, as live in a place where no vyasa puja is held.

We are planning to hold an online vyasa puja on Sunday the 21st April at

10:00 am (EST), 9:00 am (CST) 6:00 am (PST) 7:30 pm IST (others may calculate their timings).

They will have to write to me (subuddhi@gmail.com) as I will be sending a link to join via email.

Few devotees have already given their names.

Please do it now as there is little time left.

Thank you,

Your servant,

Subuddhi Krishna das

Hare Krishna Prabhu,

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada and his followers. All glories to our Guru Maharaja.

As we all know, the 64th Vyasa-puja celebration of our beloved spiritual master His Holiness Jayapataka Swami Maharaja is on April 22, 2013. We warmly welcome you for this auspicious occasion where we can spiritually recharge ourselves simply by being present for it.

As with every year, we emphasize mass distribution of Srila Prabhupada’s transcendental books to help Srila Gurudeva please Srila Prabhupada. Guru Maharaja always reminds us, “My disciples expect some special instructions from me. Srila Prabhupada had instructed me to distribute 10,000 big books and 100,000 small books every month. So I need a lot of help. I don’t know how much that is now with interest because that was told in the 1970s, so with interest, maybe that is much more now. The Mayapur Sankirtan parties help me by distributing books but anyone here can help me pay my debts to Srila Prabhupada.”

As disciples of our beloved Guru Maharaja, it is our foremost duty to help him. In order to facilitate your attempt to serve him, the Vyasa-puja Committee has made a special plan by which all of us can please our Guru Maharaja.

Please see jpsdisciples Home Page for further information.

My Dear Diksa, Siksa, Shelter, Aspiring disciples and other well wishers,
All Glories to His Divine Grace, A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada.

Please accept my blessings.

From Saturday,18th August 2012 to Sunday,16th September 2012, we observed
the Purusottama month,the month that has been personally adopted by Lord
Krishna. It is the month of pure bhakti, which is free from all karma and to
which the Lord has given His special mercy.

In the glories of Purusottama month, it says that if one observes this month
then one leads a fairly happy and comfortable life in this world, and at the
end of life goes back to Goloka Vrindavan. We hope that all the devotees
have had a transcendental and blissful time observing the Purusottama month.

A few days ago, we celebrated Radhastami. We are very thankful to Radharani
because She came and established Navadvipa dham. This beautiful dham of nine
islands, was not only created by Radharani, but She created it to attract
Krishna. Krishna was so blissful in Navadvipa dham that He decided to take
the form and mood of Srimati Radharani when He appeared. Therefore He
appeared as Lord Krsna in the combined form of Radharani, or Sri Chaitanya
Mahaprabhu. This holy dham is very special because it is constantly giving
out unlimited mercy. It is the audarya dham, or the holy place of mercy.
Vrindavan is the madhurya dham or the place of great sweetness.Jagannatha
Puri is the aishvarya dham, or the place of opulence.
