Free Food Worthy of the Gods
David Lewis: After eating a vegetarian burrito given to me by a Hare Krishna on the Ave, I ventured out to Sammamish for a Love Feast.
I usually can’t remember something I ate more than seven years ago (unless it made me throw up or something). But I still remember that burrito wrapped in tinfoil. A Hare Krishna handed it to me on the Ave back when I was in college. “For you,” was all he said, silently waving away my offers to give it back. He went back to chant...

24-ISKCON Online-Chant Now Project-Pancharatna Prabhu (audio)
One of the problems with book distribution is that devotees who distribute books, they’re really focused in giving the books out, but often there’s not much follow-up.
Even devotees that put in the effort to follow up find it hard because the focus is on distributing books and getting as many books out there as possible. It takes time and a different focus to cultivate those who are interested…
So what is the solution…?
Listen to the interview with P...

Deena Bandhu Das: Today we celebrated the 10th Disappearance anniversary of my very dear Godbrother Vibhu Chaitanya Prabhu. (Album with photos)
A real Vaishnava, but unknown to most devotees. He worked tirelessly from 2 am to 10pm in Krishna Balarama’s kitchen for many years singing all the while. In fact, Srila Prabhupada told him that he didn’t have to chant his rounds, just sing and cook. His kachoris were out of this world!! When he couldn’t cook anymore due to old age, he distributed caranamrita with incredible devotion! He would...

Lord Krishna answers the prayers.
Shastrakrit Das: Initially It was difficult to give out even a Gita. We were praying like anything. Especially I wanted to distribute a Srimad Bhagavatam set on behalf of my friend Pavana Gour Gopal. Then this nice gentleman came over to our book table and grabbed an old broken volume of the Bhagavatam on display (he is holding the old book in his hand) and asked what the whole new set looks like? My wife and me we looked at each other in disbelief and I was like “give me 2...

Mangalavati Citra Devi Dasi: Today we (my fiancé Tattvavada Prabhu and myself) celebrated the Finish independence day in Domkyrkan in Helsinki. We were invited amongst the VIPs. It’s a very beautiful church which was constructed 1824-1852. We even found some Vedic symbols decorated in the ceiling like the sun and swastica. The construction itself is in the shape of a yantra, according to the Vastu principles. The Finish government was tod...

Surya Kund (Nov 2019) (Album of photos)
Our last parikrama of Karttika was to the very serene Surya Kunda where Krishna and Madhumangala disguised as strict brahmacaris engage Radharani in the worship of Surya Narayana (actually Krishna!) We also saw the mark of Radharani’s chandrika where She placed it on a stone to take bath before puja! Very calm spiritual atmosphere and a huge kunda that the government is going to fix up very nicely.
