| | | | | | | | | From Srila Prabhupada: You cannot understand Krsna without the mercy of these Panca-tattva. Therefore Krsna, although He came personally, He taught the teachings of Bhagavad-gita and asked people, sarva-dharman parityajya mam ekam saranam vraja [Bg. 18.66]. But because we are mudhas, we misunderstood Krsna. We could not take the last instruction of Krsna. Therefore Krsna again came as Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu to teach us how to approach Krsna. If we read the life of Caitanya Mahaprabhu, His acceptance of sannyasa order, His preaching all over India, His chanting and dancing, His living at Jagannath Puri, His activities, His meeting with the devotees, His Gundica-marjana, His Ratha-yatra kirtana -- if we study all these activities of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, immediately you understand Krsna. -- "Stop Serving the Senses," Caitanya Caritamrta Adi 7.3, March 3rd, 1974 Read and hear the entire lecture |

| Interview with Ambarisa Das, Chairman of the TOVP This week Ambarisa Prabhu came to Mayapur to check on the progress of the new temple. I had the pleasure of sitting with him one afternoon to discuss a few key points regarding what his feelings are about the project. I was a bit nervous to conduct this interview as he is such a big face in the ISKCON community, but right when I sat down with him my butterflies flew out the window. Amdarisa Das is a very warm and gentle man with a big heart, and he embodies the attitude of a disciple trying to carry out his guru maharaja's wishes. Jaya Srila Prabhupada! Mandakini d.d: How do you feel about the development of the New Temple? Ambarisa Prabhu: I have been extremely amazed at the pace of progression since I came to Mayapur last February. The grounds have changed rapidly and now the foundation of the temple is starting to rise. What was once a dream is now becoming reality, and as it manifests, more and more people from around the world want to get involved. This is truly inspiring. Read full article... |
