Puri Temple Tickets in Different Colours


Dec 27, 2013 — JAGANNATHA PURI, ORISSA To streamline the sale of Parimanik tickets at Jagannath Temple in Puri, the shrine administration has decided to sell the tickets in different colours. Parimanik ticket holders are allowed to go inside the sanctum sanctorum every day, even as devotees can catch glimpse of the Deities free of cost by standing outside the sanctum sanctorum.
Just as the 'paid' darshan facility is available eight times a day, the tickets will be available in eight different colours for separate time schedules. Each Parimanik ticket costs Rs 25. The move to sell the proposed colourful tickets is aimed at curbing the menace of black-marketing by some unscrupulous priests and their assistants in the temple.
"At present the tickets are available in a single colour. Touts are purchasing the tickets in large numbers and selling to the devotees at exorbitant prices throughout the day. If we print the tickets in different colours, black-marketing can be checked," temple's Chief Administrator, Arvind Padhee said. "If possible, we will also introduce bar coding on the tickets to prevent tampering," Padhee said.
The temple sells nearly four hundred Parimanik tickets on a given day. The sale of tickets touches nearly two thousand on peak days, sources said. There is no limitation on the sale of tickets right now.
"We will ensure that only Parimanik ticket-holders gain entry inside the sanctum sanctorum. There were complaints in the past about entry of devotees, who paid the money directly to priests. We will stop it," Padhee said.
Though the Temple Administration had in 2011 planned to restrict the entry of pilgrims into the sanctum sanctorum, it was forced to drop its plan owing to stiff opposition by priests. Temple officials said an overcrowded sanctum sanctorum often led to inordinate delay in completion of rituals of the presiding sibling Deities. The administration wanted to enforce the restriction in compliance with the recommendations by the Justice P.K. Mohanty inquiry commission that was set up to probe the November 4, 2006 stampede inside the Jagannath Temple. The commission then found that the stampede stemmed from the heavy presence of pilgrims in the sanctum sanctorum. Four pilgrims were killed and scores injured in the mishap.
To streamline the crowd, there was even a proposal in 2010 to hike the Parimanik ticket from Rs 25 to Rs 250 to dissuade pilgrims from entering the sanctum sanctorum, but to no avail.

BY: DEENA BANDHU DAS (ACBSP) 

Dec 12, 2013 — VRINDAVAN DHAM (SUN) — This coming February marks the auspicious 11th Anniversary of Vrinda Kunda Temple opening! To celebrate we are organizing special parikramas to the Holy Places of Braja. The culmination will be our famous Kalash Yatra, an ecstatic Sankirtan procession with the ladies carrying water pots with coconuts on their heads. Parikramas will be going out from 14-27 Feb with the main festival day on Sunday 23 Feb. Even after that there will still be some parikramas.
Gaura Purnima will be next year on 16th March, so better to come to Vrindavan first, and then go on to Mayapur Festival and leave after Gaura Purnima when it starts to get hot! February is the best weather of the year in Vrindavan. Everyone who has come before told me they never knew such nice weather existed in the Dhama! And our festival ends with plenty of time to reach for Kirtan Mela (28th Feb - 4th Mar), Mayapur Festival with Maha-Abhisheka of Panca Tattva on 3rd March and Navadvipa Mandal Parikrama which starts on 5th March!
We will leave almost every morning from Krishna Balaram Mandir by bus going on parikrama to different pastime places of Braja. There will be lively narrations of the different pastimes that happened in each place. Then we will return in time for lunch prasadam in the temple. And on all bus parikramas, Sannyasis and Prabhupada Disciples and their families will go free of charge.
Then on Sunday 23rd Feb., we will be having the super ecstatic Kalash Yatra and sankirtan procession around Nandagrama. Kalash means water pot. All the ladies will carry water pots of water from the sacred Pavana Sarovara with colorful cloth and coconuts on top. We'll have 108 pots and the Brijbasi ladies will train our foreign lady devotees how to carry them. Even some of our own ladies who go every year will train you! The Brijbasinis even dance with no hands with their pots on their heads! All the ladies who have participated told me it was the highlight of their Vrindavan experience.
After reaching at Vrinda Kunda, there will be Krishna Katha, butter churning festival, artika, and then feast for one and all. Then everyone can help feed all the Nandagram Brijbasis. That day all transportation and prasad will be free for all who come.
So start planning now to come relish wonderful Vaisnava association in the Holy Dhama.

Иосиф Кобзон – "Ом Намах Шивая" (мантра)

  • 08.12.13, 10:42
Анастасия Цой: Иосиф Давыдович Кобзон — великий человек. Запись, где он поет мантру «Ом Намах Шивая», действительно существует. Мы его уговорили. Текст был приблизительно такой: «Папа, вы гениальный певец, вы пели всем главам государств, даже Сталину пели, когда были маленьким, но почему-то не пели богу. Вы знаете, что я занимаюсь йогой, как и ваш сын, внук и даже ваша жена. А за этой практикой стоит философия. Это же великий Шива, он оказывает покровительство всем живым людям. Пожалуйста, спойте ему мантру. Тем более что это маха-мантра, в которой есть пять звуков, из которых, если верить индуизму, состоит Вселенная. Это будет очень хорошо для вашей кармы, если вы обратитесь к этому существу». Всем созерцания :)

Tagore Wrote India's National Anthem for Lord Krishna


BY: NIHAR SINGH
Nov 21, 2013 — HYDERABAD, INDIA (SUN) — Author claims to have proven Jana Gana Mana, India's national anthem written in Sanskritized Bengali by the poet Rabindranath Tagore (Nobel Prize Winner) was meant for Krishna.
Nihar Singh, a writer from Hyderabad, has shown that Rabindranath Tagore wrote Jana Gana Mana, India's national anthem, for Lord Krishna. While the song is popular because of its use, these questions about its origin remain: What were Tagore's intentions when he composed this song? Whom did he actually write it for? After looking deeper into what had transpired at the time the song was written, and after analyzing the lyrics line by line, Nihar has established that Tagore wrote Jana Gana Mana for Lord Krishna; around the time of King George 5th's visit to India. This fact is not so widely known by the general public.
Nihar says that Tagore's greatness and his vision for India can be gauged from just two of his poems. In "Where the mind is without fear" he says that Tagore lays the conditions in which "India should awake" which were the last lines of the abovementioned poem. But in Jana Gana Mana, he says that Tagore literally describes the real ruler of Bharat, the unifying element of all the cultures of India, namely Lord Krishna. Nihar says that Tagore wanted the people of India back then to know for themselves that the real ruler of India was not King George 5th but someone who was reflected in the different cultures of India and who was their ultimate controller.
In Stanza 1 Line 2 of Jana Gana Mana, Tagore states that the name of the ruler of India must resound in the provinces of "Punjab, Sind, Gujaratha, Maratha, Dravida, Utkala Banga...". Nihar states that upon reflection it is Lord Krishna's names that resound in these provinces as names of the people of India. Nihar proves what Tagore was hinting at, with a few examples. He says that a person may be called as "Venkat" in Andhra Pradesh and as "Harbhajan" in Punjab. He adds that these are names of people belonging to two totally different cultures; however both these names simply refer to two different incarnations of Krishna namely Venkat and Hari respectively.
Nihar adds that in the above Stanza 1 Line 2 of Jana Gana Mana, Tagore was referring to people with God's names from all the religions of India. He says that names of god in Islam like "Rahim" which means "The Most Merciful" which describe the attributes of God are also to be included. He adds that it is in Sikhism where we come to know that it is "Ram" who has exhibited the qualities of being "Rahim" or being "the most merciful" while he was on this planet hence the Sikh hymn "Ram Rahim". Similarly he says that Lord Vishnu is known as "Jehovah", the four armed God in Judaism and Christianity. Nihar says that Tagore was referring to the one god, even if he was called by different names in the different religions and cultures of India, whose names were the names of all the diverse but united Indian people.
In Stanza 3 Line 2 of Jana Gana Mana, Tagore refers to the ruler of India as "an Eternal Charioteer". Nihar says that Tagore could only be referring to Lord Krishna as he was a charioteer to Arjuna, when he gave Arjuna the discourse of the Bhagawad Gita. In Stanza 3 Line 3 of Jana Gana Mana, Tagore refers to the conch shell of the ruler of India. Nihar states that while Lord Krishna used a conch shell called the Pancajanya, King George 5th was neither a charioteer nor did he use a conch shell during a war. Nihar offers these references by Tagore as proof that Tagore was referring to Lord Krishna as the ultimate ruler of India.

JaNa GaNa MaNa

O! Dispenser of India's destiny, thou art the ruler of the minds of all people...

Thy name rouses the hearts of Punjab, Sindh, Gujarat, the Maratha country,
in the Dravida country, Utkala and Bengal;

It echoes in the hills of the Vindhyas and Himalayas,

It mingles in the rhapsodies of the pure waters of Yamuna and the Ganges.

They chant only thy name.

They seek only thy auspicious blessings.

They sing only the glory of thy victory.

The salvation of all people waits in thy hands,

O! Dispenser of India's destiny, thou art the ruler of the minds of all people...

Victory to thee, Victory to thee,
Victory, Victory, Victory, Victory to thee!

Kedarnath, Yamunotri Closed for Winter


Nov 10, 2013 — DEHRADUN, UTTARAKHAND (PTI) — Amid chants of Vedic hymns and light snowfall, the portals of Kedarnath and Yamunotri, the two major chardham pilgrimage centres in Garhwal Himalayas, were closed to visitors on Tuesday for Winter, during which they become snowbound and inaccessible.
While the portals of Kedarnath, which bore the brunt of the June calamity in Uttarakhand, were closed after an elaborate six hour ritual at 8 a.m., those of Yamunotri, located at a height of 10,804 feet, were shut at 1:15 p.m. in the presence of the temple committee and senior administrative officials.
Kedar Valley resonated with the chanting of Vedic hymns in the wee hours as the doors of the famed Himalayan shrine were closed ceremoniously.
Chief priest of Kedarnath Temple, Bagesh Ling performed the special prayers in the presence of nearly 150 persons, including devotees and officials who braved icy winds and a light snowfall to witness the closure ceremony, said Kedarnath-Badrinath Temple committee CEO B B Singh.
About one quintal of ashes brought from Nashik by Mahamandaleshwar Swami Samvidanand were applied to the Shiv Linga in the sanctum sanctorum of the temple during the elaborate Samadhi Puja, the ritual which preceded its closure for peak winter months, Singh said.
Later, a replica of the idol of Lord Shiva was carried on a palanquin known as 'Utsav Doli' to nearby Ukhimath town for its winter sojourn.
The portals of Gangotri were closed yesterday while those of Badrinath shrine are scheduled to be closed on November 18th, bringing down the curtains on the annual Chardham pilgrimage. The Chardham route was marred this year by the June 16-17th flashfloods in Uttarakhand, which led to a prolonged suspension of pilgrimage for over three months.

Capitol Hill celebrates its first-ever Diwali



Aziz Haniffa

The first-ever Congressional Diwali celebration on Capitol Hill on Tuesday evening was a spectacular event by any measure, with the House of Representatives Rayburn Building lobby overflowing with over 500 members of the Indian American community, scores of United States lawmakers, administration officials and well-wishers ranging from leading American business and industry and policy wonks and think tank heads from some of Washington’s premier institutions. Aziz Haniffa reports.
One had to be there to marvel at the parade of lawmakers, including the Indian American community’s own, Dr Amerish ‘Ami’ Bera and administration officials.
They were led by the newly minted Assistant Secretary of State for South Asian Affairs, Nisha Desai Biswal, Maryland House Majority Leader Kumar Barve, being garlanded with fresh jasmine flowers, stamped with a tilak on their forehead and then making their way to light the diyas caparisoned with more flowers of all hues and colors.
And this parade continued even as the rock-star priest -- ever since he officiated in the White House Diwali celebration attended by President Barack Obama three years ago -- Narayanachar Lakshminarasihma Digalakote of the SriSivaVishnuTemple, which co-hosted the celebrated with the Congressional Caucus on Indian and Indian Americans, recited shlokas.

EC Statement on Mahanidhi Swami

Official Statement and Resolution Regarding Mahanidhi Swami–Released by the Governing Body Commission of ISKCON October 28, 2013

At its recent meetings in Mumbai, India, the Governing Body Commission (GBC) of ISKCON passed a resolution regarding Mahanidhi Swami. That resolution is found below followed by a brief excerpt of the GBC Executive Committee’s letter to Mahanidhi Swami’s disciples and followers.
It is Resolved that:
Mahanidhi Swami has stated that he has resigned from ISKCON, therefore he is suspended as initiating guru and sannyasi within ISKCON. We would like Mahanidhi Swami to return to ISKCON. Should he choose to do so, he should approach the GBC Executive Committee, and assisted by the Sannyasa Ministry, agree upon a complete program for his rectification and reinstatement.
The letter to Mahanidhi Swami’s followers contains the following:
We want to offer our appreciation for your courage and humility in approaching the GBC Executive Committee with your concerns regarding Mahanidhi Swami’s problematic behavior.
We know that it was difficult and painful for you to come forward. We also know that you did so only after multiple, genuine efforts to assist your diksha guru by speaking with him directly.
We respect the sincerity of your efforts to help him, and we respect that you approached the GBC in a sincere mood of doing what was best for both Mahanidhi Swami and ISKCONi
We encourage you–especially at this time–to take shelter of Srila Prabhupada and his instructions, as he is the preeminent siksha guru for all ISKCON devotees.
We also encourage you to take shelter of other senior devotees in ISKCON. As long as you continue to take guidance of Srila Prabhupada and his sincere followers and remain strict in your spiritual practices, you will be safe and secure under Lord Krishna’s protection.
The GBC Executive Committee also wishes to request the devotees of ISKCON to offer their prayers for Mahanidhi Swami. We also request all ISKCON devotees to extend their full support, friendship and understanding to the disciples and followers of Mahanidhi Swami, who themselves are remaining as faithful followers of Srila Prabhupada and his ISKCON society.
Your servants,
The GBC Executive Committee
