Those people, they would probably like to hear about Krishna.\u201d When Srila Prabhupada finally went to Russia in 1971, in just five short days, he planted the seed of Krsna consciousness.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>We can already see this international community coming into existence, here in Sri Dham Mayapur. Today in Mayapur, forty-six years later, we have approximately five-hundred and fifty Russian devotees residing here. They significantly contribute towards the Mayapur community and have dedicated their lives to the service of Lord.<\/p>\n<p>It is only by the causeless mercy of Srila Bhaktivinoda \u00a0Thakura, streaming down the parampara, through Srila Prabhupada \u00a0that we have the rare opportunity to be engaged in the loving devotional service of Sriman Mahaprabhu, in His own Dhama, guided by His teachings, loving devotees and the Holy Names.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/0B_LiYlL4oDRpUUJDajF4UUltM2s\/preview\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\"><\/iframe><br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/0B_LiYlL4oDRpNi1yM1hCZVdVX1E\/preview\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\"><\/iframe><br \/>\n<!--<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/0B_LiYlL4oDRpX1VsQzZNVldyT2s\/preview\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\"><\/iframe>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/0B_LiYlL4oDRpSndqRFZyVXBxd0U\/preview\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\"><\/iframe>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/0B_LiYlL4oDRpUldpeUNlNU5HS1U\/preview\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\"><\/iframe>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/0B_LiYlL4oDRpT3loR3hBRTUxeXM\/preview\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\"><\/iframe>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/0B_LiYlL4oDRpa3Q3blpZME9XOGc\/preview\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\"><\/iframe>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/0B_LiYlL4oDRpVTZ6ei1NTVNmbDg\/preview\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\"><\/iframe>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/0B_LiYlL4oDRpMEg3M2wwaVcyT28\/preview\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\"><\/iframe>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/0B_LiYlL4oDRpUHBRU3VCbnM0Nnc\/preview\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\"><\/iframe>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/0B_LiYlL4oDRpSkQzS3J4ZU5XRW8\/preview\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\"><\/iframe>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/0B_LiYlL4oDRpaUIzalVONG4xaE0\/preview\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\"><\/iframe>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/0B_LiYlL4oDRpaWE0TWJfOFdNSXM\/preview\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\"><\/iframe>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/0B_LiYlL4oDRpeE9kVGJpQS1wX0U\/preview\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\"><\/iframe>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/0B_LiYlL4oDRpRXNiR0xKR0RZeUE\/preview\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\"><\/iframe>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/0B_LiYlL4oDRpMXZFemI1cEE1RTQ\/preview\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\"><\/iframe>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/0B_LiYlL4oDRpQVRhUDFBVi1CM1E\/preview\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\"><\/iframe>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/0B_LiYlL4oDRpSjE0MXRGWjNiTWs\/preview\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\"><\/iframe>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/0B_LiYlL4oDRpRmI2WjV2TERaWEE\/preview\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\"><\/iframe>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/0B_LiYlL4oDRpSTJqVzN3RGNkeEk\/preview\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\"><\/iframe>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/0B_LiYlL4oDRpQnUyTFN1WktwTE0\/preview\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\"><\/iframe><!-- --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i.imgur.com\/n8zzZhk.jpg\" alt=\"Hare Krishna\"\/><strong>By Mayapur Internal Communications team<\/strong><\/p>\n<p> In the book The Seventh Goswami, a biography of Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura , it is stated that Thakura Bhaktivinoda prayerfully invoked the Lord, and expressed his heartfelt desire,  \u201cWhen will that day come when the fair-skinned foreigners will come to Sri Mayapur-dhama and join with the Bengali Vaisnavas to chant \u2018Jaya Sacinandana, Jaya Sacinandana!\u2019 \u2026 Very soon the chanting of Harinama sankirtana will be spread all over the world.
