Here in the Northern Hemisphere, spring is all around us! The flowers are blooming, birds are chirping, and the temperature is rising. For devotees of Krishna, the changing of seasons don’t affect our devotional service, but merely present opportunities, as auspicious occasions are constantly in our future. Krishna.com recently celebrated Gaura Purnima with successful Webcasts and entertainment for your viewing. It was a great opportunity to spread Krishna consciousness and serve all of you. Thank you for taking part in the 2008 Gaura Purnima festivities and worship of Lord Gauranga! As technology grows, so do we at Krishna.com, finding ever new ways to use technology to serve Krishna and give Him to you!
Your servants,
The Krishna.com Team
Krishna.com is now proud to present Live Shows! We recently bought a state-of-the-art Webcam and laptop from which we can broadcast local live Webcam shows with live sound. Our first test was at the local Alachua Youth bhajans, and our debut was on Gaura Purnima. Throughout the week Krishna.com will be putting on live shows, such as store product demonstrations, How-To’s, Krishna conscious interviews, bhajans/kirtans, and festivals. We’re also working closely with temples around the world to upgrade to these live shows in addition to the already established “interval picture Webcasts”. Please tune in to the new “Krishna TV” and enjoy the show!
The ISKCON Mayapur Project, 3D Visualization Division, recently finished this animation of the Vedic Planetarium Temple that will be built in Mayapur, India. Construction is set to begin in October of 2008 and it’s dome will host a giant model of the universe as described in the Puranas, especially the Srimad-Bhagavatam.
Millions of years ago in the age called Treta-yuga, the Supreme Personality of Godhead Lord Sri Krishna descended as a king: Lord Rama, or Ramachandra. We celebrate His appearance this year on April 13. The purpose of Lord Rama’s advent is to attract us conditioned souls to the timeless, transcendental path of Bhakti-yoga, devotional service, and to establish the principles of religion, morality, and righteousness. On this special occasion please visit our dedicated section and read some the amazing stories and pastimes of Lord Ramachandra.
From Mayapur festivals, to Gaura Purnima in Chowpatty, to harinams here, there, and everywhere (most recently London), follow Krishna Kripa Das as he travels around the world preaching and engaging in Lord Krishna’s service.
In a special appearance, Aindra Prabhu and his 24 Hour Kirtan Group traveled to Sri Dham Mayapur for the Gaura Purnima festivities and performed amazing kirtans (congregational singing of the Lord’s name). This wonderful video was filmed at Sri Mayapur Candrodaya Mandir by Rupa Dasa on March 7, 2008, and is the first of what should be many more kirtan videos to come.
This recent addition to our audio series features The Pastimes of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, the most merciful incarnation. He is Krishna Himself appearing as His own devotee. He has assumed the golden color of Srimati Radharani (Lord Krishna’s eternal consort) and widely distributed pure love of Krishna. Narrated by professional voice artist Harinama Chintamani Dasi.
As Lord Rama becomes the protector of the forest sages, He also sparks the fury of Ravana, the seemingly invincible demon who terrorizes humans and gods alike. In a vengeful act, Ravana kidnaps Sita, taking her across the ocean to Lanka. Now Rama, with the help of an army of monkeys, must fight to reclaim His dear bride and His honor. For your reading pleasure and to help fix your mind on Lord Ramachandra, Krishna.com provides the following abridged version of the Ramayana. Ramayana: A Tale of Gods and Demons by Ranchor Prime, illustrated by B.G. Sharma.
