This year, Gita Jayanti, the anniversary of Lord Sri Krishna's speaking the Bhagavad-Gita to Sri Arjuna, falls on Sunday, December 23rd.

For those whose lives have been forever improved by meeting Lord Krishna personally in the pages of the Gita, Gita Jayanti is not only a day of celebration but also a chance to express their gratitude. And the best way to do so is to share the Gita with others. Krishna Himself says, "There is no servant in this world more dear to Me than he, nor will there ever be one more dear." (Bg. 18.69)

The Gita teaches the essence of spiritual knowledge, purely and succinctly, in a way that anyone – in any situation of life – can practically apply its instruction and wisdom. And since Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, resides within the heart of every living being, He is always there to help the reader understand the Gita's profound message.

Many people in the world are innocent; and when they hear the message of the Gita from a devotee, they at once embrace it and attain perfection.

Krishna says, "Again there are those who, although not conversant in spiritual knowledge, begin to worship the Supreme Person upon hearing about Him from others. Because of their tendency to hear from authorities, they also transcend the path of birth and death." (Bg. 13.26)

More than ever before, people need the common sense and elegance of the Gita. Why? The modern media daily brings us foul rumors, incendiary disputes, and scenes of massacre. And a popular scientist has proclaimed, "The human race is just chemical scum on a moderate sized planet . . ." (Stephen Hawking, interview 1994).

It seems that the public demands these things—at least some studies suggest that they do. And news anchors across the world have come to count on the fact that people have developed an insatiable appetite for calumny and the gory details of tragic events.

As people disclose the acrimony and conflict that trouble their hearts in tens of millions of daily blogs, YouTube clips, Facebook postings, and interviews in the 24-hour news cycle, the resultant din is a toxic outpouring of malignant sound that flows into the ears of the innocent masses, leading the world's population into anxiety, despair, and mental illness.

The delicate human ear requires Krishna's soothing voice in the Gita to clarify the heart and fortify the intellect.

Even five thousand years after Lord Krishna's departure from this world, "the Bhagavad-gita can be consulted in all critical times, not only for solace from all kinds of mental agonies, but also for the way out of great entanglements which may embarrass one in some critical hour." (SB 1.15.27, purport)

Lord Caitanya exalts the Gita to Srila Sanatana Gosvami: "Krishna is so merciful that simply by aiming His instructions at Arjuna, He has given protection to the whole world." (Cc Madhya 22.56)

The Gita issues from the beautiful lotus mouth of Lord Sri Krishna, our best friend and eternal benefactor. And as that message passes through the pen of Krishna's empowered representative, Srila A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, the Bhagavad-gita "As It Is" becomes all the more relishable.

As Gita Jayanti approaches, please read the Gita, remember the Gita, give the Gita.

Humbly in service,

Vaisesika Dasa

Use of ISV Group Email.

Dear Devotees

 

Please accept my respectful obesisances. 

All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

 

In past few months, ISV management and Communication Department has observed that some devotees have used ISV group email ids for sending emails not related with ISV.

 

Kindly use your personal mailing lists for non-ISV temple information sharing.

 

I have been asked to send on the 3 main groups we have and the purpose:

 

Books: iskconsv_books@yahoogroups.com : share book scores and GNAB and communication related with book distribution. Devotees have to request to be added in this group.

 

General: IskconSV_General@yahoogroups.com:  this email is used for relevant temple services, devotees' needing/ wanting help, lost and found. Again though this is broad, the message has to be related with Temple.

Devotees have to request to be added in this group.

 

Announcements: announcements@iskconsv.org : Primary Broadcast communication vehicle for weekly announcements, any follow up related with schedule and information exchange with congregation. Typically these communications are informational and act as invitation for participation in events.  All new email addresses we receive at Temple and during Sankirtana get added in this group. 

 

General and books emails are treated outside of ISV Communication department

 

In case you have still Qs, please send mail to me / Vaisesika Prabhu/ Akruranath prabhu for clarification.

 

 

Your humble servant

Damodara Vamsidhari Das (Deepak Chandani)
