Doctors have diagnosed Bhutatma's Condition as Cancer and have given him just a couple of months to live....of course this does not mean that his condition can not be reversed by the blessing and prayers of the Vaishnavas

Dhira dasa is a wonderful devotee. I served with him for many years in Boston back in the early 1980's. Among the many other services we performed together we used to go out on harinama together regularly in the Boston Common (see the other attached photo).

Vishoka Dasa: Kusakratha Prabhu’s life is an inspiration to the devotees of Lord Krishna. I first saw him in the San Francisco temple, where he was staying for a short time, just coming from the NY temple.
He was sensitive to the cold weather, and so he wore pants or jeans under his dhoti. He chanted japa very, very slowly, carefully pronouncing each syllable of the maha-mantra, taking several hours to chant his rounds. This is a great example for us all, to remember to slow down and carefully enunciate the holy names during our japa.

Puskar das: In 1956, I moved from one area of Brooklyn (near the temple) to the Benson Hurst area, where I entered fifth grade. Peter Viggiani (a.k.a. Kusakratha) was in my class for the next two years. He also attended the same junior high as I, and we shared some of the same classes. For approximately 5 years we were good friends. He was always quite eccentric and didn’t appear to have many other friends.

Nrsimhananda das:Caitanya Mahaprabhu proclaims that the Holy Names will be glorified in every town and village. In our village within a town, the local Topanga Canyon media resonated Lord Jagannath's mercy. Even though He could not appear on the beach amongst ten thousand or so happy festival goers, He found his way into every home in our small community nestled in the mountains of Los Angeles county.

The "Digital SongBok" project aims to make known texts and translations of the most important Vaisnava Songs that have been handed down to us from the previous Acharyas belonging to the disciplic succession.

Shri Sita Thakurani is to be worshiped just as much as Sachidevi herself, as the mother of the universe. She is the eternal wife of Shri Advaita Acharya. She was the daughter of Shri Nrishinga Baduri. She was married to Shri Advaita Acharya in Phuliya Nagara. After their wedding, Advaita Acharya went to Nadiya, to live in Shantipura. Sita Thakurani was always absorbed in vatsalya prema for Shri Gaurasundara Prabhu, and, out of parental concern used to instruct Jagannatha Mishra on how to care for the boy.

Devotees worship the Tree with Aarti and Kirtan Before Sending it Away

When the cook was cutting the fish, he found a nice baby within the belly of the fish, and he immediately presented him to the charge of Mayavati, who was an assistant in the kitchen affairs. This woman was surprised to see how such a nice baby could remain within the belly of a fish, and the situation perplexed her. The great sage Narada then appeared and explained to her about the birth of Pradyumna, how the baby had been taken away by Sambara and later on thrown into the sea, and so on. In this way the whole story was disclosed to Mayavati, who had formerly been...

When we see we are meant for something more There’ll be a change of tide like never before We’ll reprieve the earth and mend our ways And receive divine blessings till the end of our days

Now, a few months later, we hardly know what to do with all these vegetables. It is astonishing to see how much abundance comes when you work with agriculture. We have practically only been out on the farm four or five times during the summer, to take care of the weeds and enjoy a picnic in the fresh air. Krishna is doing the work through His energies. The Sun shines, clouds pour rain and Mother Earth provides the nutrition. All we have to do is sow seeds and wait.

We kindly request all of you to please pray intensely for the speedy recovery of Maharaja.

Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu’s transcendental mission is to distribute love of Godhead to everyone. Anyone who accepts God as the Supreme can take to the process of chanting Hare Krishna and become a lover of God. (Sri Caitanya-caritamrta, Adi-lila, 4.41 Purport)
