    Hare Krishna News Letter 17th - 26th January 2012
    13-1-2012 - Friday kirtan @ Amsterdam ISKCON temple
    a brief impression of last Friday's kirtan @ the Amsterdam ISKCON temple: 13-1-2012

    Update!!!                                                                                                             

    Dear all, Please Accept Our Humble Obeisances.

    HG Hari Krishna das (ACBSP)
    What a wonderful surprise last Sunday to find out that HG Hari Krishna das
    (ACBSP) was giving class; as usual he caught everyone's attention with his in-depth explanations. The talk was inspired by a program he saw on the BBC when theists and atheists came together.
    HG Hari Krishna das (ACBSP) Sunday Feast: 15-1-2012
    HG Hari Krishna das (ACBSP) during class, Sunday Feast @ Amsterdam temple, 15-1-2012

    Sunday Feast / Friday kirtan cancelled during last weekend of January 2012
    There will be no kirtan evening on Friday evening, 27th January &  no Sunday Feast program on Sunday, 29th January. This is because so many devotees and guests will be in Radhadesh for the kirtan weekend.
    Anyway...the weekly Friday evening kirtan happening is really going quite well, on average there are between 15 - 20 people turn up and this coming Friday won't be any different...we suggest that you definitely give it a try. Also...please note that this Sunday, the Rotterdam devotees will be cooking....mmmmm, yummy!!!

    Russian court declares Gita legal
    (by BBC News Europe)

    A Russian court has dismissed a call to ban an edition of the holy book Bhagavad Gita in their country, in a case that triggered protests in India. Prosecutors in the Siberian city of Tomsk wanted the edition to be ruled “extremist”. The Russian foreign ministry said it was the commentary on the text that was under scrutiny. A lawyer representing the movement in Tomsk, Alexander Shakhov, welcomed the judge’s decision, saying it “shows that Russia really is becoming a democratic society”.

    Update!!!                                                                                            

    Dear all, Please Accept our Humble Obeisances,

    Last Saturday's 6 hour kirtan marathon
    What a wonderful kirtan last Saturday in The Hague. Many, many thanks & humble respects going out to the initiators; HG Jagadananda das, bhakta Miso, bhakta Michel, HG Janmastami das and of course to all others that offered service. There were about 250 people and more later in the afternoon from all over The Netherlands & beyond. A perfect venue, tasty Prasadam, nice sound system & plenty of ecstatic moments made this an event worth repeating.


    above: An ecstatic moment during the 6 hour kirtan, The Hague: 24-12-2011

    Fortunately we managed to find a picture when people really started letting loose; a whole room of people dancing back & forth with hands-in-the-air was the icing on the cake. We'll keep you posted about future upcoming kirtans. All that's left to say now is ...dearest Lord Krishna....we want more, more, more; we can participate every Friday evening at the Amsterdam temple or check out the big one in January at
    Radhadesh Mellows 2012 here!!!

    Support the devotees before Jan.1st...help nominate Samadhi Dance Company
    Wouldn't it just be wonderful if the Samadhi Dance Company were nominated for the 'Danspublieksprijs' (Danspublieksprijs = an annual award given to your favourite dance happening in 2011)? All they need are YOUR votes for their performance of 'Saranagati'.

    a perfect example of how to give others an opportunity to find out more about Bhakti yoga - (click to enlarge)


    We're not trying to promote them but...just see (& listen) to this amazing devotional performance for yourself then you'll understand. If you missed out, you can see 3 short videos here, here & here. Submit your votes before January 1st 2012 here.

    The Gita's Secret Message of Love
    Love is one of the most spoken and least understood words in our daily vocabulary. Love is commonly equated with sensual enjoyment, but does such superficial titillation offer....click here to read or here to download.
