Navadvipa Prasada Distribution.
Latest Developments Regarding Navadvipa Service.1) Vaisnavis can cook in the evenings and distribute prasadam to the Westerners during the day.2) Devotees can include one kilo of bhoga in their bags towards the prasadam.3) Devotees can donate Punjabi suits towards the girls who are distributing prasadam.4) We can include on item in our bag to donate to any Bengali devotee and try to make their stay with us more comfortable.5) Vaisnavis can help with decorating the temple and the Vyasasan or contribute to the purchase of flowers or garlands for both decoration and the Vaisnava's.
Vaisnavi's Cooking and Distributing Prasadam.The happy news for Navadvipa Parikrama this year is that Vaisnavi's will be cooking for the evening prasadam. So if you have an interest in cooking then this may be the service you can be involved with. There will need to be Vaisnavis who either have a skill and sensitivity for cooking or those who are strong and capable of taking on service on a large scale and other girls/ladies to help prepare and chop vegetables or fruits, whatever is required."Just Include One Kilo" is the motto for this year.
Also if you could include any items, atleast one kilo of bhoga, in your bag appropriate for Prasadam this would be very very very helpful. "Just include one kilo" is the motto for this year, so please encourage other devotees who are coming for parikrama to please do the same. But of course, if you would like to be involved in the prasada distribution on a larger scale, we are very much welcoming all the support we can get.To distribute prasadam Vaisnavis will be required to wear Punjabi suits for general cleanliness. If you have any Punjabi suits you would like to donate for this service this is also welcome. Some of the Vaisnavis distributing prasadam live in India dedicating their full energy to bhakti activities, dontating alot of their own money to the temple and festivals and live very simple; therefore, do not have the finance for new Punjabis.Suitable Ingredients - milk powder (is most important), honey (for abhisheka), ghee, rice, dahl, basil, oregano, dried fruits are excellent, nuts and seeds (like sunflower), pasta, olive oil (bottles and bottles), olives, anything suitable for spanish cooking, dried beans (kidney beans, anything hanging around the cupboard because now in India dried beans are very expensive), good quality salt and sugar, soya flour, tomato paste, good quality rice, breakfast grains like porridge and semolina and yeast.Just basically on the way out the door we are encouraging devotees to include one kilo of bhoga to contribute to the festival.With support we can make this a really great festival.Help Take Care of the Bengalis During the Festival.We can include on item in our bag to donate to any Bengali devotee and try to make their stay with us more comfortable. Like something soft to sleep on, or anything for their daily requirements, like toothbrush, soap. Even if we approach the festival with a preaching mood and come with the understanding that some Bengalis are visiting for the first or second time, so just anyhow helping them to feel sheltered by Srila Gurudeva and Our Gaudiya Matha. Anyhow making them feel that we care deeply for them.
The Need For Extra Help this Year ?Two factors have contributed to the hope that devotees can provide financial assistance to the Navadvipa Parikram this year:1) The number of Navadvipa Parikrama devotees, especially Bengalis, is ever increasing (due to the open heartedness and deep deep compassion of Our Srila Gurudeva and his desire to pull jivas out of maya),2) This year there was a lack of rain in India and many farmers lost their crops. As a result the price of all types of bhoga, including potatoes and other vegetables has increased. Sadly this year there were many reports in the Newspapers of Indian farmers taking their own lives out of financial destitution and for any other associated reasons. This Parikrama is a good chance to help very poor people and people in need of sadhu sanga, who require shelter from some very harsh types of living conditions. If you can at all help shelter jivas from maya there is no greater service.Latest News Regarding the Decoration of Srila Gurudeva's VyasasanThe latest news regarding Srila Gurudeva's Vyasasana is Vaisnavis have constructed a series of coloured lotuses to decorate the stage. A series of pictures accompanied by sloka's or appropriate compositions that were designed for various holy days (in the last couple of months) may also be displayed, conjuring various spiritual bhavas and devotional thoughts. There may be a new display for Gaura Purnima or other important days during the Navadvipa Parikrama festival, so feel inspired to bring along your favourite pictures and/or slokas and items for artistic decoration. Please let us know if there are any artists or sloka pandits interested in partaking in this seva which involves the representation of spiritual days via artworks and various types of composition. We have also purchased various cloth to decorate the Vyasana and are very much interested in safron, yellow and colours that represent anuraga, like deep red. -

Question: How will we recognize a messenger from Vaikuntha and the authenticity of his message? Answer: If our prayers become sincere and honest, then by the mercy of Bhagavan, who is omniscient, everything will be revealed to us. A student can recognize an erudite scholar only with the help of another erudite scholar. Sri Bhagavan, who resides in our heart, will help us in every aspect of our life. We only have to depend on Him exclusively. If we want to acquire knowledge of some entity there are two means by which we can do so. The first means is through knowledge and experience pertaining to this world. But in the case of transcendental entities the experience and knowledge of this world are to be considered incomplete. Thus the second means is to exclusively surrender one’s self to that great personality who has descended from the same realm as that transcendental entity. By hearing from him we can gain an understanding of that entity.(with thanks to Vraja.info)

Appearance day of Srila Bhaktivedanta Vamana Gosvami Maharaja - Thursday, 10th December 2009.
Distinguished disciple of Om Visnupada Sri Srimad Bhakti Prajnana Kesava Gosvami MaharajaClick here for biographical information and discourses given by and about Srila Bhaktivedanta Vaman Maharaja.
"There are so many jivas in this world, and although some are inclined towards Bhagavan, most are averse to Him. Their instrinsic forms are as eternal servants of Krsna, but forgetting this, they are wandering in material existence. Without bhakti they will never possess any auspiciousness. Therefore sometimes Krsna Himself descends into this world, sometimes He assumes different incarnations, and sometimes He sends His sakti in the form of the guru. Otherwise it would be impossible for the jivas to ever receive auspiciousness. Only by bhakti can they attain their ultimate good fortune; yet bhakti is not a thing of this world....."
