Wednesday, December 29th through Tuesday, January 5th 2010

From Srila Prabhupada:
But devotees, being attracted to the flavor of the lotus flower of Krsna's feet, lotus flower... Krsna, His face is called also lotus-eyed, His navel is called padma-nabha, His feet is called lotus feet, pada-padma, and His garland is also padma. He is very much fond of padma. So when a devotee is attached to the lotus flower of Krsna's feet, automatically they forget the all such material activities. -- "Breaking Our Karmic Chains," Srimad-Bhagavatam 3.26.26

The North American GBC/Temple President's meeting will be held in Dallas from January 13th - 17th 2010. 
 
This is an excellent opportunity for the community to come together and ensure the meetings are a success.  There are many, many different services that are available over all of the days of the meeting.  Some require only a few hours, and some can be done at home.
 
There will be a meeting held on Thursday, December 31st at 6:00 p.m. held in the darshan room upstairs.  Everyone in the community is encouraged to attend this meeting.  If for some reason you cannot attend the meeting, but still want to be involved, please contact Manjuali, Dwaraka or Dharma.
