MIllion Dollar Krishna Wall update 9/25/12 : 134 Tiles Gone, Expected Collection: $268K

Dear Devotees

 
Please accept my respectful obesisances. 
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

With Kind Blessings from His Grace Vaisesika Prabhu and His Holiness Radhanath Swami Maharaj, we had a miracle at ISV on day of Sri Radhaastmi.

Devotees across the planet came forward on that day, and donated more than 55 Tiles that exceeded over $110K collection on a SINGLE Day.

We pray to the Lordships to shower unlimited blessings to the donors and their loved ones.

As a background, we intend to build a MIllion Dollar Tile at ISV new Temple at 1965 Latham Street, Mountain View, CA. This wall will have 500 signature tiles created by best ISKCON artist Dhriti Mataji and Ramdas Prabhu

Each Tile can be customized with name/s of dear one or with a short message and comes for $2000.

As of now we have sold 134 Tiles out of the 500 and they are going very fast.

Today is Ekadasi and tomorrow is Vamana Dwadasi and both days are very auspicious to donate  Tile/s and help in this temple.

Our phone lines are open and we are receiving request from every corner of world for securing a tile. Please contact isvnewtemple@gmail.com or call+1 949 981 4976 to secure a Tile.

Srimati Radharani

Srimad Bhagavatam 2.3.23:
"In Vrndavana all the pure devotees pray for the mercy of Srimati Radharani, the pleasure potency of Lord Krsna. Srimati Radharani is a tenderhearted feminine counterpart of the supreme whole, resembling the perfectional stage of the worldly feminine nature. Therefore, the mercy of Radharani is available very readily to the sincere devotees, and once She recommends such a devotee to Lord Krsna, the Krishna at once accepts the devotee's admittance into His association. The conclusion is, therefore, that one should be more serious about seeking the mercy of the devotee than that of the Lord directly, and by one's doing so (by the good will of the devotee) the natural attraction for the service of the Lord will be revived."

Caitanya-caritamrta, Adi lila 4.238-272 Purport:
Once Lord Krsna considered within His heart: "Everyone says that I am complete bliss, full of all rasas. All the world derives pleasure from Me. Is there anyone who can give Me pleasure? One who has a hundred times more qualities than Me could give pleasure to My mind. One more qualified than Me is impossible to find in the world. But in Radha alone I feel the presence of one who can give Me pleasure.

Although My beauty defeats the beauty of ten million cupids, although it is unequalled and unsurpassed and although it gives pleasure to the three worlds, seeing Radharani gives pleasure to My eyes. The vibration of My transcendental flute attracts the three worlds, but My ears are enchanted by the words of Srimati Radharani. Although My body lends fragrance to the entire creation, the scent of Radharani's limbs captivates My mind and heart.

Thus although, I am the source of happiness for the entire world, the beauty and attributes of Sri Radhika are My life and soul. In this way My affectionate feelings for Srimati Radharani may be understood, but on analysis I find them contradictory. My eyes are fully satisfied when I look upon Srimati Radharani but by looking upon Me, She becomes even more advanced in satisfaction. The flutelike murmur of the bamboos rubbing against one another steals Radharani's consciousness, for She thinks it to be the sound of My flute. And She embraces a tamala tree, mistaking it for Me. "I have gotten the embrace of Sri Krsna," She thinks, "so now My life is fulfilled." Thus She remains immersed in pleasing Krsna, taking the tree in Her arms. When a favorable breeze carries to Her the fragrance of My body, She is blinded by love and tries to fly into that breeze. When She tastes the betel chewed by Me, She merges in an ocean of joy and forgets everything else. Even with hundreds of mouths I could not express the transcendental pleasure She derives from My association. Seeing the luster of Her complexion I forget My own identity in happiness.

The sage Bharata has said that the mellows of lover and beloved are equal. But he does not know the mellows of My Vrndavana. The happiness I feel when meeting Radharani is a hundred times greater than the happiness I get from meeting others.""

Dear ISV Devotees

We have Harinama Tonight staring at 6:59 PM at Palo Alto Downtown, intersection of University Ave and Emerson

Be part of Big Harinama performance with massive book distribution. His Grace Vaisesika Prabhu wrote in one of His emails earlier

"

The work of going door-to-door, town-to-town to distribute Bhagavad-Gita, Srimad-Bhagavatam, Caitanya-caritamrta, and so on, is the highest welfare work. 

Not only that, it is the yuga-dharma, the specific sacrifice prescribed for Kali-yuga in the Vedas and confirmed by the great Acaryas. 

Karabhajana Muni says: 

"Those who are actually advanced in knowledge are able to appreciate the essential value of this age of Kali. Such enlightened persons worship Kali-yuga because in this fallen age all perfection of life can easily be achieved by the performance of sankirtana." (SB 11.5.36)

According to our Acaryas, Sankirtana includes not only the congregational chanting of the holy names of the Lord; it also includes the distribution of transcendental books, or written kirtana. In 1974, Srila Prabhupada wrote: 

"So I am always emphasizing book distribution. It is the better kirtana. It is better than chanting. Of course chanting should not stop, but book distribution is the best kirtana." (SPL to Srutadeva dasa, 24th October, 1974)

And in his purport to Srimad-bhagavatam 3.25.21, Srila Prabhupada describes the mood of the devotees who go out to distribute transcendental knowledge to the public: 

"A sadhu, as described above, is a devotee of the Lord. His concern, therefore, is to enlighten people in devotional service to the Lord. That is his mercy. He knows that without devotional service to the Lord, human life is spoiled. A devotee travels all over the country, from door to door, preaching, `Be Krsna conscious. Be a devotee of Lord Krishna. Don't spoil your life in simply fulfilling your animal propensities. Human life is meant for self-realization, or Krishna consciousness.' These are the preachings of a sadhu. He is not satisfied with his own liberation. He always thinks about others. He is the most compassionate personality towards all the fallen souls."

Please join us!  we will meet in Palo Alto, (University and Emerson) to congregationally chant the holy names. 

On Saturday and Sunday, we will all be going out to distribute books around the Bay Area in a variety of spots. 

There are at least four ways that you can participate:

1. Join the book distribution team.

2. Come out for Harinama Sankirtana.

3. Donate money to support the book distribution.

4. Volunteer for backup services. 

The human form is especially given to us for performing yajna, sacrifice. By doing the proper sacrifice, we can attain the highest goal of life.

Take advantage this weekend and be counted by joining this historic event celebrating the life of one of our greatest Acaryas, Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura.

Param vijayate sri krsna sankirtanam!

With gratitude and affection,

"

Also Other programs in this week are

Saturday morning, Sep 15, 7:30 am - 10:30 am: ISV Temple at 951 S Bascom Ave, San Jose.

Brief Bio of Maharaj

 

A bhakti yoga practitioner for more than 30 years, Radhanath Swami is a spiritual teacher, community builder, activist, and acclaimed author. He is the founder and director of the Radha Gopinath Ashram in Mumbai, India. Under his inspiration and guidance, the project has grown to include missionary hospitals, orphanages, eco-friendly farms, schools, temples, emergency relief programs, and a food distribution program that feeds more than 250,000 indigent children in downtown Mumbai every day. In spite of his many responsibilities, he also travels widely, teaching Eastern philosophy and spiritually throughout Europe, Asia, and America. He has been featured as a guest speaker in universities such as Harvard, MIT, Columbia and Stanford, and in corporations such as Microsoft, Intel and Oracle.

 

His memoir, The Journey Home (Mandala Publishing, 2008), chronicles a young man's emergence into a deep state of personal and spiritual awareness, providing a penetrating glimpse into the heart of India's rich mystic devotional tradition. Rooted in this tradition, Radhanath Swami's message is as profound as it is simple: by cultivating a rich inner life of self-awareness and a genuine practice of service, we can become instruments of compassion and agents of sustainable change in the world.
