How they were happy, the inhabitants of Vrndavana with Krsna and living and cows. That I want to introduce. At any cost do it and... Don't bother about big, big buildings. It is not required. Useless waste of time. Produce. Make the whole field green. See that. Then whole economic question solved. Then you eat sumptuous. Eat sumptuously. The animal is happy. The animal even does not give milk; let them eat and pass stool and urine. That is welcome. After all, eating, they will pass stool. So that is beneficial, not that simple milk is beneficial. Even the stool is beneficial. Therefore I am asking so much here and..., "Farm, farm, farm, farm..." That is not my program--Krsna's program. Annad bhavanti bhutani. Produce greenness everywhere, everywhere. Vrndavana. It is not this motorcar civilization.

Seattle 18th October, 1968 See entire collection here..... My Dear Krishna devi, Please accept my blessings. I beg to acknowledge receipt of your long letter dated Oct. 13, 1968. I am so glad to read it that you are writing your letter from hospital, and I thank you very much that you are so much enthusiastic that even in hospital bed, you are thinking of serving Krishna in different ways. When I received the news sent me by your husband to Jayananda that you are going to be operated, I was little bit perturbed, but immediately I submitted my prayer to Krishna, and I am so glad that Krishna is so merciful. He has saved your life and your baby, it is very much pleasing to me. So I am so much grateful to Krishna, and you should also know that how much grateful we should all be to Krishna. Actually, your case was life and death, without Krishna's Mercy you could not be saved. At least one life was at risk, either your baby's life, or your life. But Krishna is so kind that He has saved both of you. Now feeling this obligation to Krishna, you should be more enthusiastic to serve Krishna and I am very pleased to learn that you have got a nice beautiful Krishna Conscious child, so raise her to full Krishna Consciousness, and engage yourself, your husband, then the family will be very beautiful happy family. You will enjoy in this world, and in the next world. So it is all very nice by the Grace of Krishna. I am going to Montreal on the 23rd October, 1968, and from there I shall go to Santa Fe, and from there I shall go to Los Angeles. I understood that Dinesh was to see me this Sunday, but if it is not possible to see me on Sunday, then the next chance will be to see me at Los Angeles. I think the Sankirtana party can sell the records very nicely, and you can directly correspond with Tamala Krishna. They are also going to Los Angeles just after my departure. Hope this will find you in good health, and pray to Krishna for your quick recovery. Your ever well-wisher, A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami See entire collection here.....

Please accept my blessings. I am expecting you every moment. Krishna is very kind. He does not let go anyone who might have done a little bit of service. So how can He allow you to forget Krishna. You may be dragged by Maya for the time being but by Krishna's Grace that will have only temporary reaction; I am very glad that you are doing so much for decorating Krishna's temple. I thank Danny also because he is helping you in the service of Krishna. So I am also with you and I shall do my best to help you in advancing your Krishna Consciousness. Hope you are well. Your ever well-wisher, A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami San Francisco 30th March, 1968 My dear Subala, Please accept my blessings. I was just thinking about you since you departed from this place and was anxious to get your letter, and I am very glad to receive it. By Krishna's Grace you are finding everything favorable, and I hope gradually you will find the atmosphere more favorable. I understand in New York it is still raining and little cold, therefore I am extending my stay here in San Francisco, for a few days more. We had many engagements in radio and television and similarly we are going to have more similar engagements. Here the kirtana performances are going on, as nicely, and people are taking interest in them. The Radha Krishna statues prepared by Gaurasundara have been dispatched to Los Angeles through Aniruddha, and they are going to be cast in yellow brass. If one pair is successful then we shall get many pairs and one of the pairs shall be installed in your Santa Fe temple. Please don't feel lonely. krishna is always with you and I shall pray for you and to Krishna also that you may make progress more and more in this faithful discharge of duties in Krishna Consciousness. Thanking you once more. Your ever well-wisher, ACB Montreal 13rd June, 1968 My Dear Krishna devi and Dinesh, Please accept my blessings. I thank you very much for your letter of May 31, 1968, which is duly in hand. I had not heard anything from you in long time, so I was very glad to hear that you are doing well. I am pleased to hear that you have so nicely installed the Jagannatha Deities at your home, and that you are worshiping Them regularly with nice offerings of prasadam, incense and flowers, and also saying prayers before Them. That is very good. Please continue chanting and reading Srimad-Bhagavatam before the Deity, and you will progress nicely. Yes, the coloring book idea is nice, but for now there is greater need of your service to Krishna in helping out the Santa Fe Temple. You have requested me in your letter to please advise you about your devotional service, and I shall tell you frankly that the best thing for you to do now is to help the Santa Fe Temple financially. You were originally entrusted with the responsibility of that branch, as you helped start it, and so it is your duty now to help maintain it, even you are not present there. If it is closed down, it will be great shameful to you. So, at the present moment your former husband, Subala, is struggling alone there, and there is urgent need of financial aid to him. Therefore, I request you to do this service; you and your husband should earn money nicely, and send to Santa Fe at least $100.00 a month. That will be good for you both, and good for me, and good for Subala, and the best service for Krishna. Krishna wants that you should do Him this service, to help maintain His Temple there, so I request that you shall do this immediately. And Krishna will be pleased upon you, and will give you all aid in serving Him in this way. That is my desire. And, if after first giving service in this way, then, if you have got extra time and money, you can execute the coloring book idea, and I shall help you in the future on it. But the first duty is to help maintain the Lord's Temple as I have instructed. Hoping you are both well. Your ever well-wisher, A. C.

Light of the Bhagavat Verse 27 After good rains the grazing ground for the animals was full of green pasture, and both the bulls and the cows sat down on the grass fully satisfied. The cows, followed by their calves, appeared tired of grazing, because of full milk bags. Calmly and quietly the cows and calves rested and ruminated, chewing their cud ........................................................... those who are anxious to cultivate the human spirit must turn their attention first toward the question of cow protection. see entire verse and purport here> Srila Prabhupada's Light of the Bhagavat Verse 27 part of our "Position Paper" /images/graemlins/grin.gif

Srila Prabhupada wrote this letter to an Indian family, and before he had anything like a movement, so no need to be diplomatic. Plus we have many many more letters,conversations,lectures etc. that show Srila Prabhupada's NON-diplomatic admiration for Lord Jesus the Christ. You will not find "between the lines" anything against Lord Jesus, and i challenge you to show me some. /images/graemlins/grin.gif

I am obliged to your good daughter for awarding me a good degree as SWAMI JESUS which is actually a great honour for me..................... .(see entire letter here> The Swami Jesus letter!) /images/graemlins/grin.gif Some time the Lord speaks through innocent child and I take this honour as sent by Lord Jesus through an innocent child free from all formalities of the current society. Lord Jesus preached the message of God and I have taken up the same mission, and it would be a good luck for me if I can follow the foot prints of Lord Jesus who preached the message of God in spite of all persecution. Lord Jesus is a living example how one has to suffer in this material world simply for the matter of preaching the message of God.

Letter to Tusta Krishna 72-12-14 Ahmedabad 14th December, 1972 Byron's Bay, Australia excerpt, for entire letter see link below We advise everyone to address one another as Prabhu. Prabhu means master, so how the master should be disobeyed? Others, they are also pure devotees. All of my disciples are pure devotees. Anyone sincerely serving the spiritual master is a pure devotee, it may be Siddhasvarupa or others, a-Siddhasvarupa. This must be very clearly stated. It is not only that your Siddhasvarupa is a pure devotee and not others. Do not try to make a faction. Hoping this meets you and your good wife, Krishna Tulasi dasi, in good health and devotional mood. Your ever well-wisher, A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami ACBS/sda

From Hare Krishna Farm in Spain...... /images/graemlins/grin.gif madhuvan.org farm in spain

http://protectacow.typepad.com/goshalla/ /images/graemlins/grin.gif an agricultural and spiritual model of the cow sanctuary as originally envisioned by Srila Prabhupada. In the process, “Protect A Cow” has led the fight to uncover and rectify the abuses of prior systems of “cow protection” that freely borrowed Srila Prabhupada’s name but failed to fulfill his true philosophy. All donations to “Protect A Cow” go directly to the maintenance of each cow at the sanctuary and to the land supporting them.

We feel that we CAN associate with Srila Prabhupada still, as he indicated to all. And we also feel that he is our Brahmana, and our Sanyasi order. We fill in the other Varnas and Ashramas. So it is complete! And no falsities=best of all! Krsna Prabhu, (i am directing this to the Krsna Prabhu of Audarya Fellowship Fame) i get the feeling that you know me, i appreciate your post, and thread starting style. Do i know you? Please send email to me, if you have time. Who are you? This email is for these types of places, to keep the Internet Bots from my real email name.... muktavandya@hotmail.com or send it to my name just as you spelled it in the post at the top of this page w/hotmail.com (i hope you could do so)

How many have read this book??? Lived it! Joined there, live there (you can see my room in the picture), got catastrofic injury there, saved up to 200 cows there, walked there, played there, fell down there, dreamed there, learned that my Spiritual Master is Bhaktivedanta there, rejected my diksa guru there (when he asked to put the cows in a place not authorized by A.C.B.S.), got married there, had our child there, understood that THIS IS THE LIFE OF A HARE KRSNA THERE!..........plan on dying there, for the Cows of Srila Prabhupada/Krishna's Surabhi representatives. Read the book through Prabhupada's Books there!

Varnasrama and Brahminical Culture These two phrazes come up alot in our Spiritual Master's Books, and there Bhaktivedanta Swami says that Cow Protection is ESSENTIAL to human society, what to speak of Brahminical Culture or Varnasrama. We are not followers of Impersonality, but Followers of Krishna the Supreme Personality Cow Protector, also known as Go-Vinda! This is the way to solve ALL problems in this world, to Protect Krishna's Surabhi Representatives.

I reject your saying that we do not have the leadership, we are Protecting Cows the ESSENTIAL ingrediant for Varnashrama only because of our Leader, who is Prabhupada, and he is constantly leading us. The rest are following..........?

Vaisya! Actually the whole of Varnashrama in our opinion will come only after Cow Protection is established. All the Varnas require the Cow to survive. The Brahmanas need the Cow for Sacrifice, and Brain Food. The Ksatriya needs to protect the cow. The Vaisya needs the Cow to protect and feed the rest of the Varnas. And the Sudra needs the Cow to work as Oxen. Since Cow Protection is a unattractive service to most, (in my experience) Varnashrama will not take hold, on a Grand Scale, and therefore there will not be any peace in the world. So Varnashrama can only be seen where the Cow is Protected. Visit our small Varnashrama Project here............

Click here to go directly to entire page, of the following excerpt...... We know how to do it. Annad bhavanti bhutani parjanyad anna-sambhavah, yajnad bhavati parjanyah. Let them engage in kirtana. There will be more water for gardening, and it will be moist, and then produce fodder for the animals and food for you. And animal gives you milk. That is Vrndavana life. And they are absorbed in this so-called opulence. Krsna has taken birth. They are bringing so many nice, pleasant foodstuff, very well-dressed and ornamented. These are description. In the morning we were reading. How they were happy, the inhabitants of Vrndavana with Krsna and living and cows. That I want to introduce. At any cost do it and... Don't bother about big, big buildings. It is not required. Useless waste of time. Produce. Make the whole field green. See that. Then whole economic question solved. Then you eat sumptuous. Eat sumptuously. The animal is happy. The animal even does not give milk; let them eat and pass stool and urine. That is welcome. After all, eating, they will pass stool. So that is beneficial, not that simple milk is beneficial. Even the stool is beneficial.

Also this disturbing news similar to this at Saranagati......... Gita Nagari has sold all it's trees for the cutting (to pay for taxes, but it is a "non-profit farm") and the cow population is now down to the point where the fields are mowed for hay, but the hay is sold and used to fatten up the neibhors Beef cows, headed to slaughter, by Gita Nagari hay. /images/graemlins/blush.gif

srimad bhagavatam canto 3 chapter 5 verse 29 mahat-tattvad vikurvanad aham-tattvam vyajayata karya-karana-kartratma bhutendriya-mano-mayah vaikarikas taijasas ca tamasas cety aham tridha mahat--the great; tattvat--from the causal truth; vikurvanat--being transformed; aham--false ego; tattvam--material truth; vyajayata--became manifested; karya--effects; karana--cause; kartr--doer; atma--soul or source; bh uta--material ingredients; indriya--senses; manah-mayah--hovering on the mental plane; vaikarikah--the mode of goodness; taijasah--the mode of passion; ca--and; tamasah--the mode of ignorance; ca--and; iti--thus; aham--false ego; tridha--three kinds. TRANSLATION Mahat-tattva, or the great causal truth, transforms into false ego, which is manifested in three phases--cause, effect and the doer. All such activities are on the mental plane and are based on the material elements, gross senses and mental speculation. The false ego is represented in three different modes--goodness, passion and ignorance. PURPORT A pure living entity in his original spiritual existence is fully conscious of his constitutional position as an eternal servitor of the Lord. All souls who are situated in such pure consciousness are liberated, and therefore they eternally live in bliss and knowledge in the various Vaikuntha planets in the spiritual sky. When the material creation is manifested, it is not meant for them. The eternally liberated souls are called nitya-muktas, and they have nothing to do with the material creation. The material creation is meant for rebellious souls who are not prepared to accept subordination under the Supreme Lord. This spirit of false lordship is called false ego. It is manifested in three modes of material nature, and it exists in mental speculation only. Those who are in the mode of goodness think that each and every person is God, and thus they laugh at the pure devotees, who try to engage in the transcendental loving service of the Lord. Those who are puffed up by the mode of passion try to lord it over material nature in various ways. Some of them engage in altruistic activities as if they were agents appointed to do good to others by their mental speculative plans. Such men accept the standard ways of mundane altruism, but their plans are made on the basis of false ego. This false ego extends to the limit of becoming one with the Lord. The last class of egoistic conditioned souls--those in the mode of ignorance--are misguided by identification of the gross body with the self. Thus, all their activities are centered around the body only. All these persons are given the chance to play with false egoistic ideas, but at the same time the Lord is kind enough to give them a chance to take help from scriptures like Bhagavad-gita and Srimad-Bhagavatam so that they may understand the science of Krsna and thus make their lives successful. The entire material creation, therefore, is meant for the falsely egoistic living entities hovering on the mental plane under different illusions in the modes of material nature.

I think the argument is that too many people will move to be near the large temple, and build houses where the rice fields are. As far as i can tell, Prabhupada wants the Mayapura Iskcon to be self sufficiant in its food production as well as have nice temple. So if the rice fields are made into houses for people to live (as 2nd homes?) and no food is being produced off the land, then it would be a problem.

I have noticed the same thing, however i have found that Public Libraries do take the books and people do check them out! A case of Prabhupada's Original AUTHORized Bhagavad-gitas for only $70 went quite fast for me, so i ordered another, then that one went too! So i got onto the "Weekend Warriors" list for Distribution. Try it you might like it!

Since we have been featured now twice on this new full of Transcendendal Energy Website, i thought good to provide link for you.......... Please check it out!..... http://harekrsna.com/sun/news/news.htm#76 Excerpt from Sun Article as well as Quote from the original.... Sep 3, USA (SUN) — On August 29th, the Sun ran an article entitled "Ambassador of Bhakti Yoga" in honor of Srila Prabhupada's Vyasa-puja day. Assuming that the article had come from the Vedabase or a similar archive, we didn't look-up a specific source citation. We were pleased to learn that there is, in fact, a very interesting story behind the 'Ambassador' article. On September 22, 1965, just five days after arriving in the U.S., Srila Prabhupada gave a lecture at the YMCA in Butler, Pennsylvania. The local newspaper, the Butler Eagle, printed an article and picture of the event. Given their dedicated service to cow protection, the devotees were very pleased to discover that Srila Prabhupada had made mention of the cows in his very first article from the West: "Life and Milk of Cow" is all-important to the Swamiji's way of life; all else is artificial, he claims.
