Our time has come! Swine flu will revenge
us all!Death to the humans!
Life to the beasts!Hari Bol!
Hello! Welcome to the 30th Anniversary issue of the Kapi-Dhvaja! How are you? With all this good news about Swine Flu we’re delighted.
Again the beasts shall rule the world.
We started this fortnight in Tennesse with Nitai-gaurasundara, Hari-lila and Tandavika Prabhus. Hari-lila was so kind as to come with us from Houston.
We were sitting in the Temple room above the garage and the whole earth began to shake!Then the wind started to blow. The Wizard of Oz and the Tin
Woodsman flew by in the sky but HpSwami just kept on chanting (like a fool)!
It was a tornado. Just five houses away it took the roof, the walls and three big oak trees. No electricity or heating that night.
Then we went to the Ganesha Temple and had a great program on BG 5.29, the Peace Formula. People were standing up shaking their fists at us because it was so good. Sold 25-small books and 2-large Gitas.
We are so tired!Just finished our last Bhaktivedanta College, Nectar of Devotion, class.We learned so much by teaching it.
Hare Krsna.Our Web-Page was hacked and Globat still hasn’t got it back up!Bhakti-sastri is going fine. We will have more time for it now.That’s our focus: Nectar of Instruction. If you study it how can you not distribute it? We visit www.sdgonline.org frequently. Monkey sent two missles (letters) off and Piggy kept the Diary of the Traveling Creatures but we can’t post it until Globat answers our letters!From here we go to Spain for two weeks and then Russia. If we just go on chanting Hare Krsna we will see pastimes that we never read in any of Srila Prabhupada’s books.
Hello, Globat Technical Support.
How may I help you?
The Glories of Vrndavan DhamaBy Prabhodananda Sarasvati (trans. Kusakrata Das)
Sataka Four23 Vrndavana-dhama, the sweetest of nectars, has no equal or superior. Radha-Krsna, the two crowns and transcendental goals of our lives, have no equal or superior. The beautiful gopis, who nourish the pastimes of the divine couple, more dear to them than life, have no equal or superior.
24 What nonsense! What nonsense! What misfortune! Even though he is a ‘great man’ he still does not like blissful Vrndavana!
25 If even the ‘greatest’ person refuses to take shelter of blissful Vrndavana, he should be called the lowest of men.
26 I do not love blissfully sweet Vrndavana. What is the good of my knowledge, devotion, or renunciation?
27 Pathetic! Pathetic are my scholarship, noble birth, good character, and splendid array of virtues! Because in this life I do not love Vrndavana, I am a living corpse.
28 Because I have not renounced everything and taken shelter of Vrndavana I am more pitiful than those pitied by the pitiful and I am more foolish than the greatest fool.
29 Lord Caitanya’s feet are far away. Powerful Kali has appeared. How will love for Krsna be attained without love for Vrndavana?
30 Ah, only a fool, happy to be praised by pig-like men, will not take shelter of Vrndavana which is an ocean of bliss.
31 Alas! Alas! I have left Vrndavana to go to another place. I have spit out the sweetest nectar and knowingly drunk poison.
32 All directions are filled with glory! The world is full of bliss! Oh! Oh! I do not see
anything except Vrndavana!
33 What can I do? I am a madman. I will just say this one thing:
Knowledge, renunciation, and all
other virtues are worthless without
Vrndavana.
Jaya Srila Prabhupada!
