Dear Prabhus,
Please accept our humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
It is our great honour and pleasure to announce the success of the First Annual Srila Prabhupada Glorification Festival at Sri Sri Radha Damodar Mandir, Vrindaban, India, on the auspicious disappearance anniversary day of His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Svami Prabhupada.
The festival went on without a hitch in spite of the protests of both their holinesses Narayana Maharaj and Puri Maharaj, who personally came to Radha Damaodar Mandir with the intent of stopping the ritvik initiation ceremonies.
The Gosvamis who manage Sri Sri Radha Damodara Mandir are very dedicated to Srila Prabhupada and had no other desire other than to see Srila Prabhupada glorified.
Although the Maharajas’ threatened to never come to Radha Damodara Mandir again if the initiation ceremony took place, the Gosvamis nevertheless held fast to their decision after consulting with senior Prabhupada disciples like Vishnu Murti Prabhu.
His Holiness Kapindra Maharaj performed the auspicious ceremony in front of the Bhajan Kurtir and Samadhi of Srila Rupa Gosvami. Five new disciples of Srila Prabhupada, from all over the world, were initiated with ecstatic kirtan followed by a wonderful prasadam feast.
This is a milestone in the push to reinstate Srila Prabhupada as our sole diksa guru.
Hope this meets you all well and happy in Krishna’s service.
Your servants,
Visvamitra das

Maharaj/Prabhuji/Mataji
Please accept my humble obeisances onto your lotus feet
All Glories Sri sri Guru Gauranga
All Glories to Srila Prabhupada
Bol Hari Hari Bol
We are all not this body, but only a soul,the soul is eternal
our love and devotion to krishna should not be dormant anymore,
now let we all start to love Krishna sincerely as how Srimathi Radha Rani does.
Very seriously to say this bodily concept of live is just a lump
repeatedly, seems no ending unless we turn our mind towards Krishna,
because the love cannot be forced otherwise the independent issue is questionable, that shows how Sri Krishna bhagwan is so mercy, He let us to choose to love Him or bewildered(bodily life). ” Krishna please bless us & guide us to go back to your abode with causeless mercy “.
Oh Govinda oh Gopala..this bodily life seems to be more worst as compared to prison life of state law punishment, because “that” punishment seems to be repeatedly done(force to take B&D) by YOUR authority,Ohh Krishna, Mangal Bhawan AmangAL hARI….PLEASE save us form the ocean of birth & death,
OUM tat sat, Hare Krishna
