    VYASA PUJA OFFERINGS 91ST Vyasa Puja of HDG Srila Bhakti Ballabh Tirtha Maharaja This publication is dedicated to the most holy lotus feet of His Divine Grace Srila Bhakti Ballabh Tirtha Goswami Maharaja, who, out of his causeless mercy, has descended into this material world as the direct representative of Supreme Lord Sri Krishna to rescue the fallen souls. His Divine Grace Srila Bhakti Ballabh Tirtha Goswami Maharaja has devoted his entire life to the promulgation of the glories of Sri Krishna while implicitly following the instructions of his diksha and siksha gurus, His Divine Grace Srila Bhakti Dayita Madhava Goswami Maharaja and His Divine Grace Srila Bhakti Pramode Puri Goswami Maharaja, respectively. He is recognized by all Gaudiya Vaishnavas as one of the greatest acharyas of this era. His praises are most deserved, as, along with many other things, he possesses a vast knowledge of shastra and its inner devotional meaning with an acute ability to communicate this knowledge effectively to all persons regardless of their backgrounds or predispositions. This efficacy of preaching is largely due to his sincere humility and warm, affectionate character, which transforms knowledge into feeling—an actual taste of the Transcendent. Therefore, while desiring nothing for himself, he has garnered the love and respect of all who meet him, especially of those who are making a serious effort to follow his superlative personal example and ideals. His Divine Grace’s active preaching activities have now drawn to a close and he has entered into internal lila, yet his presence and influence are undiminished externally and he continues to be a leader among men—a stalwart and imposing figure among the followers of the message of divine love of Sri Krishna Chaitanya Mahaprabhu.

  • Nitai-Zine One Some Reflections on Initiation
    Nitai-zine One Some reflections on Initiation (re-edited) Neal Delmonico (Nitai Das) June 13, 2005 [This is a corrected and edited version of the very first issue of Nitai-zine. My memory was imperfect when I first wrote this. After all many years had passed since the events described herein. As I thought more about those events I found they began to reappear with more detail. Hopefully, most of the misconceptions and misremem- berings have been corrected in this version. I have also tried to pin down the events of Sarasvat¯ı’s great admission before Pandit R¯amakr.s.n. a D¯asB¯ab¯athat he had not actu- ally received initiation from Gauraki´soraD¯asB¯ab¯ato a more specific time and location. Those details have been added to this version of the account. — Nitai Das] Recently, among the many other projects I have started and not finished, I was working on Visvan´ atha¯ Cakravartin’s Kr.s.n. a-bh¯avan¯amr.ta, a delightful poem embodying the r¯ag¯anuga-bhakti practice of smaran. a or visualization. The very first verse of the text contains the word parampar¯a, which, among other things, may be translated disciplic succession. The verse reads like this in my translation: I surrender to the rain-cloud Kr.s.n. a Caitanya, who instantly de- stroys the darkness of the world and refreshes the whole world through uninterrupted succession of showers of his beauty like the beauty of millions of gods of love.1 It is a nice image. Caitanya is like a rain cloud pouring down his beauty like rain on a dusty, thirsty world.

  • Some Important Facts About Hyerath... 1. Why Tithi Triyodashi Is Important
    Some important facts about Hyerath... 1. Why Tithi triyodashi is important to celebrate Hyerath; According to Bharav Yaag Granth Triyodashi is the deciding factor to solemnize the day of Hyreath. Triyodashi should be present at midnight. That is the reason our Hyreath festival is sometimes celebrated on Dwadashi and sometimes at Triyodashi. 2. Are Herath and Maha Shiv Ratri same festivals? No. Our Hyreath is Har-Ratri (Hura Ratri) celebrated on Triyodashi & MahaShivratri deciding factor is Chaturdashi that is the reason Maha shivratri is also called Shiv-Chaturdashi. Hyreath and Maha- Shivratri cannot be solemnized on the same day. Recent example is Year 2011, 1st march jantri Page already posted in the group. 3. All over the Hindu world Hindus celebrate MAHASHIVRATRI on Chaturdashi that falls on 24th Feb and they are fine with that. Why are few among us comparing Herath with MahaShivratri? Our Hyreath deciding factor is Triyodashi and Mahashivratri is based on Chatrudashi as per Dharam Sindu. This is the reason Triyodashi Festival cannot be celebrated on chaturdashi. 4. At what time Triyodashi starts on 23rd Feb? Triyodashi is starting at 09-19 PM on 23rd Feb which decides the Hyreath to be solemnized on 23rd Feb. 2017. 5. What is sparsh and what is its importance?

  • London Gaudiya Calendar 2010-11
    All glories to Sri Guru and Sri Gauranga Gaudiya Vaishnava Festival Calendar (2010 – 2011) Founder Acharyya—Srila Bhakti Rakshak Sridhar Dev-Goswami Maharaj President Acharyya—Srila Bhakti Sundar Govinda Dev-Goswami Maharaj Sri Chaitanya Saraswat Math London, United Kingdom All glories to Sri Guru and Sri Gauranga Gaudiya Vaishnava Festival Calendar 2010 to 2011 - Sri Gaurabda 525 This calendar is based on the translation of the Bengali Vaisnava Calendar, "Sri Gaudiya Parvva Talika," compiled by Sriyukta Dibyendu Bhattacharyya, M.Sc., B.T., Jyotibhushan, Headmaster. Translated to English by Sripad Bhakti Nirmal Acharyya Maharaj. All dates and times listed here are calculated for Kolkata, India, as referred to at Sri Chaitanya Saraswat Math, Sri Nabadwip Dham. Ekadasi dates and paran times are calculated for London, United Kingdom by Sri Devashis Das with corrections by Sri Natabara Das. During his 21st World Tour, Srila Bhakti Sundar Govinda Dev-Goswami Maharaj instructed that throughout the world the devotees will follow this calendar for all dates except for Ekadasis and their associated paran (break fast) times which may be calculated locally according to the lunar calendar. In this way the days of Appearance, Disappearance, and other Pastimes of the Lord and His great devotees will be observed on the actual day they took place in India, rather than according to the technical local calculation of the 'tithi' (lunar day) which often had devotees observing, for example, the Appearance of Mahaprabhu a day before He actually appeared in Nabadwip. Start of 525 Gaurabda year. MARCH 2010 VISHNU 1. (Mon) Krishna-pratipad. Paran between 06:52 and 10:26 a.m.

  • Dipika's Detailed 2020 Hindu Calendar Prem Namaste, Vanakkum, Jai Mata Di, Jai Shree Krsna, Jai Shree Raam We at Pray That You Are Well
    Dipika©s Detailed 2020 Hindu Calendar Prem Namaste, Vanakkum, Jai Mata Di, Jai Shree Krsna, Jai Shree Raam We at www.dipika.org.za pray that you are well... Many thanks for remaining an awesome Hindu¼ Many have asked us to compile an article on the Hindu calendar for example what are the Festivals dates and Rahu kalam . *** Do note that SOME of the information given below for the festival dates is from the S.A.H.M.S. We don't take any responsibility for the information supplied by them. We ONLY have done this for Hindu uniformity within South Africa. Should you have any issues with their dates below please do contact them on 031 3091951 or email [email protected] ***. {Another point of note is when you see a * before a prayer date it means this is not in the general Hindu calendar that Hindus have in their homes. I have added these dates because these are equally important prayer dates that sadly seems to be ignored every year.} DO NOTE:- All times indicated below, associated with the start or end of a religious day are in 24-hour format. Firstly the Festival dates are the dates that a Hindu observes. This is quite self explanatory. For example for Shree Ganesh Chaturthi, we have a full explanation of this very important festival date on our website. Many ask what is this festival all about and how does one go about celebrating it. Hence this website is meant to make people from all cultures more aware of these important Hindu festival dates.
