April 12th, 2023: Jayanti Radhika Dasi

Yesterday I visited 8-year old Jayanti Radhika dasi in the Bhaktivedanta Hospital in Mumbai along with her mother and several doctors. Jayanti was severely burned in a scooter accident in Mayapur last month. The burns covered 60 percent of her body and she barely survived but is out of immediate danger for now. The doctors say she has a long road to recovery. Please say a prayer or two for this little vaisnavi that she may fully recover. Her wish is to be back with her friends in Mayapura Dhama as soon as possible.

I just arrived in Mayapura for a one month stay to absorb the mood of this transcendental abode and pray for the purity and strength necessary to continue my service to Lord Caitanya’s movement. I also look forward to associating with the many wonderful devotees living here! Jaya Gaura! Jaya Nitai!

April 26, 2022: A Day in The Dham

“Gauranga said, ‘Without considering who is fit and who is unfit, in this incarnation I will freely distribute the treasure of love which is rarely attained even by Lord Brahma.’ Saying this, Gaurahari appeared in the beginning of Kali-yuga in Navadvipa by His own internal spiritual potency. Withdrawing the covering of illusion, Gauracandra revealed His eternal pastimes in Gauda-mandala.”
[ Navadvipa Dhama Mahatmya by Srila Bhaktivinode Thakur ]

April 27th, 2023: Stimulation for Ecstatic Love pt 23
Dear devotees: Tomorrow’s lecture ( Friday, April 28th ) is about Krsna’s tilaka. Unknown to many, Krsna wears a variety of different kinds of tilaka. We’ll discuss the various sizes, shapes and colors of tilaka Krsna wears and how His devotees put tilaka on Him each morning. It’s all so very interesting! As always, the lecture can be found on my YouTube channel. To hear and watch previous episodes visit https://www.vrindavanglories.com/
