Posted: 14 years 42 weeks agoMon, 09/17/2007 - 04:56 — NityānandaChandra This year's Janmastami was absolutely wonderful. For first time ever in Dallas we had some of the Gopis accompany Krishna on the altar. For the 4:30 am artik both Radha and Kalachandji were stunning. Kalachandji wearing His fancy turban and Radharani was there giving out blessing for all who came to see her beloved, Sri Krishna, on His most wonderful appearance day. The devotee danced ecstatically for the pleasure of Their Lordships, led in a...0 Comment(s)- Login to post comments

Posted: 14 years 42 weeks agoBlogging on Krishna.com is new, and is now in the experimental stage. For me it is a real privilege for so many reasons.

Posted: 14 years 42 weeks agoWe just observed the "birthday" celebration (or appearance day as we say, since there is no birth or death for the soul) of Shrila Prabhupada, the founder/acharya of ISKCON. The appearance day of the Guru is called, Vyasa-puja, or the worship of the representative of Vyasadeva. Vyasa is considered an empowered incarnation of God, who compiled the Vedic literature for this current age of Kali. Traditionally disciples write homages to their guru on the Vyasa-puja day to help them remember their...0 Comment(s)
