OIDA Veda tour and donation for Mayapur temple, 2011

Picture
Dear devotees,
Please, accept our reverencies!

We share with you some news from the development of the Mayapur temples - Jahnavi kunja Gaudiya Math and Sarasvati kunja.
This year there was a group from Bulgaria with OIDA Veda tour where people could participate in the seminars of yoga, given by SriHaridas prabhu from Colombia, who lives there and meditation and OIDA seminars, given by Brahma Samhita prabhu.
The team of devotees serving in these two temples was wonderfully organizing everything for the tourists - mother Prisni and prabhu Sriharidas. They could
install new boiler for warm water in the mataji ashram for the visitors, cooked wonderful delicious prasadam and gave great association to the group.
This initiative is part of the desire of Gurudev to preach with OIDA Veda tours and to maintain the temples in Mayapur as in Vrindavan is already going on since few years.
The donation received in the temple is 1200 euro. We hope in the future to have more and more groups there. The environment is wonderful for preaching and very accommodating for groups. There are two temples with many rooms and cabanias and great opportunity to visit temples, sadhus and have an ashram experience.
There is also wonderful hall for yoga trainings and seminars.
OIDA Veda ki jay!
Jahnavi kunja Gaudiya math ki jay!
Sarasvati kunja ki jay!

Hari bol!

Project "Helping hands"for Vrindavan

Picture
This is a new project for helping Vrindavan to be beautiful. Here comes the New Year message from Guru Maharaj about the project:
Here in Vrindavan I am frequently meeting with other citizens of the holy dham. We are talking about how to improve things in the sacred land of Lord Krishna. Effectively, here in Vrindavan there is a lot of mercy. The bigger mercy is that it's so much mess around here which gives us insignificant souls the opportunity to be part of the solution of this mess.
I made a proposal of practical work here in Vrindavan.

I am going to ask every temple that is related to us to make meetings with the community of their cities and in these meetings you should wake up the appreciation for Vrindavan and its people. I want that you can wake up in them the desire to be part of the service of Srimati Radharani here in Vrindavan through a monthly donation. Because a worker guided by our mission is going to work here in Vrindavan in different areas of cleaning and organizing to transform Vrindavan into visible beauty. Inspiring a little gratitude for Vrindavan and also giving them blessings to have a connection to Vrindavan through this donation.

A worker with insurance cost a 100 dollars per month. This is not an ammount that is going to put anyone in problems. But if every devotee who have some resources or join together with others so they can send 100 dollars monthly to Vrindavan we can make a nice project here. Because from volunteers we cant expect too much, but when we pay and give a salary we can do it. And that is the idea. So I sincerely ask and beg that you collect this weekly every month.
In our web pages we are going to give importance to these donations. There we will show what our workers are doing in Vrindavan. So the ones that are giving money can see what is being done.
So if you in you join 100 dollars monthly we can have more workers beutifying Vrindavan. And vrindavan today can be discovered again in all of India.We are going to publish all this in web pages and the contributors are going to appear and also the areas where we are working and participating. For example in managing the garbage of Vrindavana.
I say thanks and appreciate your effort. I ask that you help Vrindavan from each temple and individual and if you want to send more just organize it.

Srila Prabhupada ki jay!

B. A. Paramadvaiti Swami
