  • Killing for Krishna
    Sulochan dasa (Steven Bryant) (ACBSP) (1952-1986) Memorial Service on the 32nd Anniversary of his death Cheviot Hills Park, Los Angeles (May 22, 2018) Note: The statements and philosophies promoted in the following tributes may not necessarily be those of the organizers of this memorial service, but we believe we must allow devotees to express their sentiments and realizations even if we may disagree with their conclusions. TRIBUTES Henry Doktorski, author of Killing For Krishna. My dear assembled Vaishnavas: Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. My name is Henry Doktorski; I am a former resident of New Vrindaban and a former disciple of Kirtanananda Swami. Some of my friends know me by my initiated name: Hrishikesh dasa. I am the author of a book—Killing For Krishna: The Danger of Deranged Devotion—which recounts the unfortunate events which preceded Sulochan’s murder, the murder itself, and its aftermath and repercussions. Prabhus and Matajis, thank you for attending this memorial service for Sulochan prabhu, the first of many anticipated annual events for the future. Although Sulochan was far from a shining example of a model devotee, and he was unfortunately afflicted with many faults, he should nonetheless, in my opinion, be respected and honored for (1) his love for his spiritual master, and (2) his courageous effort to expose corruption within his spiritual master’s society. His endeavors to (1) expose the so-called ISKCON spiritual masters of his time as pretenders, by writing and distributing his hard-hitting and mostly-accurate book, The Guru Business, and (2) dethrone the zonal acharyas, with violence if necessary, resulted in a murder conspiracy spearheaded by two ISKCON gurus, several ISKCON temple presidents and several ksatriya hit men from ISKCON temples in West Virginia, Ohio and Southern California.

  • Dance in Copenhagen, C. 1750-1840
    Dance in Copenhagen Dance in Copenhagen, c. 1750-1840 By Henning Urup The subject of this article is dance forms in Denmark, and especially in Copenhagen, in the period c. 1750-1840. The account is based on the preseryed source material, and this involves an important methodological problem. Dance is a transitory phenomenon in the form of motion in the present. The written sources are descriptions of something seen and experienced, or instructions on how the dance/music is to be executed. It has always been diffiCldt to write dan ces down, and for that reason many dan ces have never been recorded on paper. In the European musical tradition, the notation of mus ic plays a central role, and the concept ofthe work is ofte n tied to the notation. By analog)' with this, incomplete or inadequate dance notation poses a problem. Musical notation gives us information about pitch and durations as well as dynamics and phrasing. The notation of dance requires similar infor­ mation, but also indications of body movemen ts, orien tations of arms and legs and progressions of movement through space. Dance notation therefore becomes complicated, and the various systems of notation are usually associated with specific dance forms and styles where. because of certain shared assumptions, one does not need to write down too much. Elements that are self-evident in the tra­ dition in question are usually omitted. Many important details have thus never been written down, and this poses an important problem for later researchers. The relationship of the author to dance and music is of great importance in interpreting the source material.

  • Marco Polo – the Label of Discovery
    Marco Polo – The Label of Discovery Doubt was expressed by his contemporaries as to the truth of Marco Polo’s account of his years at the court of the Mongol Emperor of China. For some he was known as a man of a million lies, and one recent scholar has plausibly suggested that the account of his travels was a fiction inspired by a family dispute. There is, though, no doubt about the musical treasures daily uncovered by the Marco Polo record label. To paraphrase Marco Polo himself: All people who wish to know the varied music of men and the peculiarities of the various regions of the world, buy these recordings and listen with open ears. The original concept of the Marco Polo label was to bring to listeners unknown compositions by well-known composers. There was, at the same time, an ambition to bring the East to the West. Since then there have been many changes in public taste and in the availability of recorded music. Composers once little known are now easily available in recordings. Marco Polo, in consequence, has set out on further adventures of discovery and exploration. One early field of exploration lay in the work of later Romantic composers, whose turn has now come again. In addition to pioneering recordings of the operas of Franz Schreker, Der ferne Klang (The Distant Sound), Die Gezeichneten (The Marked Ones) and Die Flammen (The Flames), were three operas by Wagner’s son, Siegfried. Der Bärenhäuter (The Man in the Bear’s Skin), Banadietrich and Schwarzschwanenreich (The Kingdom of the Black Swan) explore a mysterious medieval world of German legend in a musical language more akin to that of his teacher Humperdinck than to that of his father.

Knox Roger C. Knox 702 North Tioga Street Ithaca, NY 14850 TO THE MEMORY OF RALPH PAGE THIS WORK IS RESPECTFULLY AND AFFECTIONATELY DEDICATED "He was a very special human being." (Dave Fuller) "It was a sad day for the dance world when he passed on. He left thousands of friends, and probably hundreds of his-taught Contra-callers who will perpetuate his memory for some time to come." (Beverly B. Wilder Jr.) "All who knew him have suffered a great loss." (Lannie McQuaide) "About very few can it be truly said that 'He was a legend in his own time,' but Ralph certainly was and is such a legend. The world of dance is a richer place because he was here." (Ed Butenhof) ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS There is a danger when one starts naming those who helped in a task that someone may have been left off the "Honor Roll." To avoid that problem 1 wish to thank everyone who gave me any encouragement, advice, orders for the Index, or anything else one can imagine. I wish specifically to thank several people who played an important role in this endeavor and I will risk the wrath of someone I may have missed but who will nevertheless live in my heart forever.

As the residents of this remote religious commune in West Virginia’s northern panhandle chant in unison, their voices rising and falling over the hourlong service, robed worshippers offer a series of objects to an image of Krishna to stir up their lord’s love for the Earth. The flame of a ghee lamp is waved before the image, offering Krishna the pleasure of warmth and light produced from the milk of the community’s sacred cows. Then the lamps are carried to each of the devotees, who, one by one, briefly hold their hands over the flame before placing them on their heads, transferring the warmth of the lamp to their own bodies. Next, a pink flower is held up to Krishna before again being carried to the devotees.
