Holy Name Retreat in Sweden

4/30/2014

0 Comments

 
On my arrival in Sweden on the 24th of April I visited the devotees for three days in the Hare Krishna Center in the city of Stockholm. For many years the devotees have maintained a well established Govinda's Restaurant with an adjacent Preaching Center and Govinda's Boutique.
Indeed ideal preaching facilities....
And a ten minutes' drive takes us to Brahmakund - a nice two-storey Scandinavian style building with around ten little flats where devotees and vegetarian non-devotess are living. And in the cellar is a little temple room and well equipped kitchen. Again perfect facilities....

Germany

On my arrival in Germany on the 14th of April I visited my mother in Tubingen for three days. It was her 83rd birthday. Neighbors and friends from the village and the nearby city dropped in during the entire day expressing their good wishes and offering little gifts. Together with her sister I assisted her in welcoming the guests and entertained them with some little conversations. Some inquired about my life in Krsna consciousness, which gave me some little opportunities to preach.

Sometimes one's service attitude is the best preaching and leaves powerful impressions on people's hearts....
I cooked a nice birthday lunch for her, with mango chutney made from dried mango - all the way from Bangladesh. I had bought for her some Indian sweets at the Delhi airport which she always likes to eat, and I had requested the devotees from Goloka Dham in Germany to send her a little parcel with maha sweets from Sri Sri Radha Madana Mohan which arrived perfectly in time. And furthermore I had purchased for her some CD's with Christian meditations and prayerful rituals - something which will help her in developing God consciousness according to her practice. She was delighted by all the little surprises I had arranged for her and accepted them with gratitude.

Holy Name Retreats in Bangladesh

4/15/2014

On my arrival in Dhaka on the 23rd of March the devotees took me out to Rup Ganj, our ISKCON property outside the city where we had scheduled a Holy Name Retreat for students.

Rup Ganj is situated in a very peaceful rural area where the city planning will develop a new part of Dhaka in the near future. We are planning to develop this property in order to conduct all kinds of seminars, Youth Festivals and retreats. The location is very central and easily accessible for devotees from all around Bangladesh, and the peaceful environment invites to conduct programs to deepen our spiritual life.

Prabhupada himself liked to have a long term vision when purchasing properties. When he secured the land for our Krsna Balarama Mandir in Vrindavan people were wondering why Prabhupada took a property which was so far away from the center of Vrindavan. People were almost afraid to go there, being out in the no-where! A similar situation was there also with the Juhu property. So we are following in Prabhupada's footsteps - in fifteen year's time Rup Ganj will be in a newly developed part of Dhaka, surrounded by Universities and Colleges.....On my arrival in Dhaka on the 23rd of March the devotees took me out to Rup Ganj, our ISKCON property outside the city where we had scheduled a Holy Name Retreat for students.
