Ojai Valley News Editorial Alert! “Semi-Sunrise Easter” 

On Wed, April 26, 2006 the OVN was kind enough to publish the

article I submitted about the sunrise service I attended at Lake

Casitas Easter morning.   My commentary expanded on the theme that a

good Christian is a vigilant environmentalist.  In my article I

asked that if Christians really believe that they why they are not

more serious about adopting a vegetarian diet considering the well

documented fact that “… our nations insatiable desire to eat flesh

is a magnitude more devastating to the environment then all ten of

the plagues Moses inflicted on the Pharaoh of Egypt!”   I did not

attach this 800 word action-packed article with this newsletter for

the sake of brevity, but I will be happy to send it to anyone who

did not see it in the paper or would like a digital copy. 

Guest Speaker for Janmastami 2006?

AVA is particularly interested in hosting a senior Vaishnava to

speak at our Janmastami program scheduled this year on Saturday

evening August 12th at 6:00pm.  We welcome proposals from any

individual in the Vaishnava community who would like to speak at

this special event.  We humbly request all candidates to respect our

intent to follow Vaishnava protocol during the final selection

process.   Please note that AVA always schedules the Ojai Janmastami

festival on the First Saturday evening prior to the actual Lunar

Data for Janmastami which this year happens to be on Wednesday,

August 16, 2006.  This is done intentionally to accommodate working

members of our congregation and free the Devotees and AVA guests to

attend Janmastami scheduled later in the week at their local

temples.

Human Suffering = Unjust God?

Large Scale Suffering…!

        Natural disasters have always been a part of life, but why

do they seem to be occurring more frequently and with greater

destruction than what recorded history tells us has happened in the

past?  Consider the magnitude of these major catastrophes that

occurred in just the last 16 months!

Tsunami (Indian Ocean Earthquake): Sumatra-Indonesia, Dec.26, 2004

The tsunami that originated in the Indian Ocean, killed over 190,00

individuals and left another 42,883 missing.  This catastrophe was

one of the deadliest disasters
