The ISKCON Leadership Sanga is in full swing in Mayapur!
\nBB Govinda Swami: We have had 2 full days of ISKCON Leadership Sanga since I last posted.
\nThe meeting opens daily at 10 AM with a plenary session with keynote addresses presented by an variety of the wonderful servants of ISKCON.
\nThen the delegates break out into a vast array of seminars.
\nMore than 1,000 ISKCON leaders have come from around the globe to associate, hear seminars, share their experiences, and come \u201cup to date\u201d with ISKCON\u2019s Organisational Development initiatives.
\nA beautiful meeting area has been developed by Her Grace Laxmimoni Mataji. She has spent each day since late November here in Mayapur and has organised an amazing team to perform this service for the pleasure of His Divine Grace.
\nIt is simply fantastic seeing smiling faces like a rainbow: black, white, yellow, brown, haven\u2019t seen blue faces yet, and old rednecks like me \u2026 becoming inspired to return to their countries and firmly establish the Krishna consciousness movement to carry the legacy of Prabhupada to future generations.
\nThe mood here is calm, peaceful, audarya Mayapur.
\nThe pre-meeting tensions were stirred by an individual who took advantage of an already tense situation to stir up the hearts of our ever sweet, gracious, loving Bengali vaisnavas hosts.
\nI remember years ago hearing some song:
\n\u201cDon\u2019t Funk With My Heart.\u201d
\nWell, I really don\u2019t feel we should funk with Vaishnava hearts to gain political momentum.
\nSo, it is beautiful here. Enthusiastic here. Peaceful here.
\nThe Gaura Prema is flowing, filling the hearts of all those who wish to taste that sweetness of His love.
\nMay the love imbued rays of Sri Mayapur Chandra fill our hearts with enthusiasm to serve ever diligently;
\nTo bring the slightest sweet smile to the face of Srila Prabhupada.
\nGood night to all from Sri Mayapur Chandradoya Mandir.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
