By Ila devi dasi MVS<\/strong><\/p>\n New Harinama \/ Food For Life Website Launched!<\/p>\n By the grace and mercy of SriSri Radha-Madhava, Lord Nrsimhadeva and Sri Pancha-Tattva, we are launching the new Mayapur Harinama and Food For Life Website.<\/p>\n This website aims to promote the congregational chanting of the Holy Name across the nine islands, as instructed by Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu Himself:<\/p>\n \u201cThe Lord ordered all the citizens of Navadvipa to chant the Hare Krishna mantra, and in each and every home they began performing sankirtana regularly.<\/p>\n [All the devotees sang this popular song along with the Hare Krishna maha-mantra.] \u201cHaraye namah, krishna yadavaya namah\/ gopala govinda rama sri-madhusudana.\u201d<\/p>\n When the sa\u00eckirtana movement thus started, no one in Navadvipa could hear any sound other than the words \u201cHari! Hari!\u201d and the beating of the mrdanga and clashing of hand bells.<\/p>\n PURPORT<\/p>\n The International Society for Krishna Consciousness now has its world center in Navadvipa, Mayapur. The managers of this center should see that twenty-four hours a day there is chanting of the holy names of the Hare Krishna maha-mantra, with the addition of haraye namah, krishna yadavaya namah, for this song was a favorite of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu\u2019s. But all such sankirtana must be preceded by the chanting of the holy names of the five tattvas\u2014sri-krishna-caitanya prabhu-nityananda sri-advaita gadadhara srivasadi-gaura-bhakta-vrnda\u2026 Chanting of these six lines should go on so perfectly well that no one there hears any vibration other than the chanting of the holy names of the Lord. That will make the center spiritually all-perfect.\u201d<\/p>\n – Caitanya Caritamrita, Adi-Lila 17:121-123<\/p>\n Furthermore the website aims to fulfill Srila Prabhupada\u2019s desire to ensure that \u201cNo one within 10 miles\u2019 radius of any ISKCON Temple should go hungry,\u201d a desire he expressed with tear-filled eyes in the following story told by HH Jayapataka Swami:<\/p>\n \u201cUsually when Prabhupada wanted something he would say, \u2018Bring my secretary.\u2019 But in Mayapur he would call everyone. He would want everyone to hear what he was saying. At that time the devotees were just \u2018recovering\u2019 from a big feast.<\/p>\n When Prabhupada called, all the devotees came down rushing. \u201cWhat is Prabhupada calling for? What\u2019s happening?\u201d They saw Prabhupada intently looking out of the windows with tears in his eyes \u2013 he was crying! They looked out and saw a big pile of leaf plates thrown at the back of the temple after the feast. There were about fifteen dogs and about fifteen to twenty boys and girls and girls, little kids between eight and fourteen years, picking through the leaves and fighting off the dogs. They were eating the leftovers and licking the leaves. They were ordinary village children who were basically clean but poor.<\/p>\n Then Prabhupada revealed his mind, \u201cHow hungry they must be! They are picking the prasadam from the pile \u2013 they must be so hungry! We must arrange for their prasadam! If you want to make this mandir a house of Krishna, then you must see that within 10 mile radius, no one goes hungry. That will be success. Krishna is everyone\u2019s father. How can the son go hungry in the presence of the father? Immediately arrange to distribute prasadam.\u2019<\/p>\n The Mayapur Nagar Sankirtana Department has for the past three years been trying to execute the above two instructions \u2013 to distribute the Holy Names and Prasadam in all the villages of Mayapur.
