FARM IN SPAIN
A group of experienced Vaisnava ecologists, under the guidance of Badraseva Prabhu, Anadir Prabhu, and Prataka Prabhu are developing a Vedic village concept.

KURDS AND VEDIC INDIA
The Kurd people live in some remote territorities of Eastern Turkey and Iraq. They are not actually at home in the Muslim environment, although at present there is hardly any possibility of establishing Kurdistan proper

FIRST RATHA-YATRA IN CAITANYA BAITAG
On June 19, 2004 the first Ratha Yatra Festival was celebrated in Caitanya Baitag where Sri Caitanya came to take rest. Desiring to introduce this festival to this holy place, Pujyapad Bhakti Pradip Paryatok Maharaja constructed a Chariot for Lord Jagannath, who was brought to Vrindavan by Murari Gupta, Sri Caitanya's associate.

IN EVERY TOWN AND VILLAGE
In order that the prophecy of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu be fulfilled we need an army of pure preachers. If we desire that the Holy Name be chanted everywhere, we will need countless gurus guiding countless disciples in their spiritual life.

THE SCIENCE OF RELATIONSHIPS
by Swami B.A. Paramadvaiti
Spiritual life is the science of wonderful relationships based
on love. One of our main problems in this world is that we
scarcely have good and loving relationships. This is also
why we seek liberation from material existence and try to
attain a higher truth. We desire real love and happiness.

THE VISION OF A VAISHNAVA
by Srila B.B.Tirtha Goswami Maharaja
President of the WVA
Question: How could Vaishnavas come to a better understanding among
each other?
With our http://www.vina.cc website we try to promote this type of
consciousness and for that we need the blessings of all the Acaryas.
Answer: Vaishnavas are mutually always in the best relationship,
otherwise they cannot be Vaishnavas. The only target of Vaishnavas is
to satisfy Vishnu. By serving Vishnu, they give contentment to Vishnu
and contentment to all.

Answer by Srila Bhakti Ballabh Tirtha Goswami Maharaja:
Vaishnavas are mutually always in the best relationship, otherwise
they cannot be Vaishnavas. The only target of Vaishnavas is to satisfy
Vishnu. By serving Vishnu, they give contentment to Vishnu and
contentment to all. Prahlad Maharaj said to his father Hiranyakshipu,
“My dear father! Please give up your demoniac mentality.
Do not discriminate in your heart between enemies and friends; make
your mind equipoised toward everyone. Except for the uncontrolled and
misguided mind, there is no enemy within this world. When one sees
everyone on the platform of equality, one then comes to the position of
worshiping the Lord perfectly.” (Translation by Srimat Bhakti Vedanta
Swami Maharaj)
Last message of Srila Bhakti Siddhanta Saraswati Goswami Thakur
to all ascetic and household devotees was this: “All of you should
remain in close co-operation with the objective to propitiate the
Supreme Lord with wholehearted allegiance to the grace incarnate form,
Gurudeva, who is the Absolute Counterpart of the Supreme Lord. All of
you should somehow maintain your livelihood in this most perishable
non-eternal world, with the only objective of satisfying Supreme Lord.
Don't give up worship of God inspite of hundreds of troubles, hundreds
of humiliations and hundreds of abuses. Don't be discouraged by seeing
that most of the conditioned souls in this world are not accepting the
service of Sri Krishna sincerely, without deceitfulness. Never give up
your own worship, and never give up your only wealth, the
'be-all and end-all' of your life, which is the hearing and chanting of
the glories of Sri Krishna. Always do Harikirtan with the qualities of
being humbler than blade of grass and more forbearing than tree.”
So the conclusion is that the root cause of all troubles and sufferings
is aversion to Sri Krishna, and that the problems of this world cannot
be removed by retaining the nescience.
