"Ready to cook for Prasadam Big Time ! Out of the this World !! New Bar has been raised !!!"

Dear Devotees

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

1) His Grace Ratna Bhushan Prabhu gives a Thumbs Up for  ISV new Temple KItchen . Watch the video and see the Saint!

Vaisesika Prabhu told that if someone wants to see how His Grace Jayananda Prabhu was than they should see His modern avataar as His Grace Ratan Bhushan Prabhu from Los Angeles. He is direct disciple of Srila Prabhuada and always prefers to be in background doing BIG services.

ISV was fortunate enough to have His association as Prabhu lead the New Kitchen Orientation class for ISV cooks and inaugurated the kitchen by preparing the First meal for Sri Sri Radha Madan Mohan, Sri Gauranga MahaPrabhu and Sri Sri Laksmi Narashingadeva

We were lucky to get a small interview from him and this is presented for your pleasure

He said

"Ready to cook for Prasadam Big Time ! Out of the this World !!  New Bar has been raised !!!"

We would like to thank Her Grace Jagarani Mataji for leading the construction project and providing such facilities

2) Your Name and Message for Million Dollar Wall

We are sending the first batch of messages for the Tile as per the enclosed word document.

Appreciating Capacity - CHAD - Chapter 8 until 5 May 2013

Dear Devotees,

Please accept our most humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupad!  

In his recent  Caitanya Caritamrita reading session, HG Vaisesika Prabhu read, “ The Lord’s pastimes are differentiated according to the appreciating capacity of the different types of bodies of the living entities. The Supreme Lord bestows the most merciful benediction upon human society when He appears in His human form. It is then that humanity gets the opportunity to engage in different kinds of eternal service to the Lord.”(CC Ādi 4.34 purport)

Most often we present a list of material requests and complaints before the Lord and He answers our prayers and fulfills our petty petitions. It is His merciful nature to help those who cry out to Him. Unfortunately, we take this attribute of the Lord for granted and we never take the time to understand and appreciate all the wonderful works He has performed in our lives. We are very busy adding more items to our daily prayer petition list. The problem with this type of worship is that, no matter how many abundant  blessings we receive from the Lord we will continue to remain empty in our hearts and never taste the nectar of unalloyed devotional service.

Being an ocean of mercy, the benevolent Lord Krishna appreciates our devotion even if we are motivated by selfish desires (BG 7.18), but he also encourages us to rise to the higher platform of selfless loving devotion. For this purpose, Lord descends and gives us knowledge about Himself, His devotees, and His abode  through his instructions to Arjuna in Bhagavata-Gita.  When we recognize and relish His message, and positively appreciate His compassionate nature, then we become eligible to receive a much greater gift: Krishna Himself. 

Tomorrow is the all-auspicious Ekadashi day, per our CHAD plan, we will be reading Bhagavad Gita  Chapter 8, until  May 4^th, 2013. In this chapter titled, ‘Attaining the Supreme’, Lord Krishna explains how by remembering Him in devotion throughout one’s life, and especially at the time of death, one can attain to His supreme abode, beyond the material world. Attached is the chapter in the convenient CHAD format. 

In the Gita Mahatmiya, Lord Siva explains to Parvati  how the devotee named Bhavasharma pleased Lord Vishnu by continuously chanting half a verse of the eighth chapter of the Bhagavad-gita. If only half a verse has so much potency, imagine the pleasure that Lord will derive if we recite the entire  chapter!

Simply by spending 7 minutes every day to recite one chapter of Bhagavad-gita, with the beginners mind, we can tremendously increase our appreciating capacity. As Vaisesika Prabhu often points out, a big shot is a small shot that keeps shooting!

With Gratitude,
Your servant,
Gandharvika Radha,

Not Yet!,(New temple opening at ISV delayed one last time.) - ISV Board and Vaisesika Prabhu

Dear devotees and well-wishers of ISV, 

Hare Krishna!

After looking at every possible way to open the new temple this Sunday, April 6^th, the project leaders and ISV counsel members have unanimously agreed that it will not be possible. However, with certainty, and Krishna's mercy, we will open on Friday, April 19^th, Rama Navami day. 

Our original target to open the new temple this weekend was based on projections and promises from our construction company. However, they were not able to keep their promise.

We've all waited a long time for this. We beg your patience for just a few more days. It will all be worth it. 

Now we are definitely in the last stretch and will soon see Their Lordships finally settled in their new temple for Lord Rama's divine appearance day.

Humbly in service,

Vaisesika Dasa.

ps : We would continue our service in Bascom temple as per usual schedule

Sunday Feast will happen in Bascom at Normal time, same with Saturday Program.
