ISKCON Delhi Update - That Time of the Year

Few happenings in temple, I thought of sharing.

Sri Sri Radha Parthasarathi Mandir, ISKCON, Delhi Update : Novemeber 27, 2009

Its that time of the year when Sri Sri Radha Parthasarathi themselves start handing out the Bhagavad Gitas to people. That is the spirit of Book Distribution in Delhi.

The morning Bhagavatam lecture is shortened to half an hour so that devotees can immediately leave for book distribution after honoring breakfast prasadam. No doubt Delhi is standing 1st in Book Distrbution for last 5 years.

New Addition to ISKCON Delhi temple, East of Kailash. Yes, this beautiful deity of Kaliya Mardan Krishna has finally been installed. It is situated just below the fountains. This beautiful pond is also slated to be hosting the Radha Krishna Naukavihar festival.

His Grace Rasaraja Prabhu gave Srimad Bhagavatam lecture on Sunday. He stressed on deeply understanding Srila Prabhupada’s books and not just superficially. On two accounts he illustrated how superficially I have been reading Srila Prabhupada Books –

1. What does it mean by nouminal and phenomenal world and

2. Body is source of senses or otherwise.

He then shared a considerable time with IYF devotees after the lecture and clarified many doubts. He also gave fitting replies for usual questions/responses people give when devotees try to give them Srila Prabhupada books.
