Update                                                  

Harinam

We have just found out that the Dutch national TV station BNN are coming to film the harinam tomorrow evening with HH Trivikrama Swami; this is such a great opportunity to take his association (and become a TV star at the same time…hahahaa). No, but on a serious note, there has already been feedback that devotees from all over the Netherlands will be participating – so don’t miss out!

 

HH Trivikrama Swami has come especially to go on Harinam Sankirtan this coming Thursday evening, 22-7-10 from 18.00 to 20.00 hrs. As mentioned in our email yesterday, he is Dhananjaya’s old friend & dear godbrother and, they’ve known each other since 1969. It would be a great benefit for all devotees & congregational members to take his association while he is here. He will also give Srimad Bhagavatam class at 7.30H & Bhagavad Gita class at 18.30H – both classes will be given on Friday 23-7-2010 in the temple room.

Schedule – HH Trivikrama Swami:

  • Thursday, 22nd July – Harinam 18:00 – 20:00 (departure front of Central Station)
  • Friday, 23rd July – Srimad-Bhagavatam class starting at 07:30 am, Amsterdam Temple
  • Friday, 22rd July – Bhagavad-Gita class starting at 18:30pm, Amsterdam Temple

 

Please note! For the classes, it is essential to arrive on time or a little earlier, so that Maharaj will not be disturbed whilst giving class. 

Indiaas karrenfestival; Ratha yatra Amsterdam 14 aug.

RATHA YATRA AMSTERDAM
ZATERDAG 14 AUGUSTUS 2010
 
Parade: 12:00 – 15:00 hrs
Kirtan (Dam Square): 15:00 – 17:00 hrs.
Prasadam (Dam Square): 15:00 – 18:00 hrs
 
The Ratha Yatra this year will be a truly incredible parade/carnival procession with floats, colourful & attractive costumes, dancers, Kirtan bands etc.
We will create a visual and musical spectacle that will be attractive and interesting for their Lordships Jagannath, Baladeva and Subhadra,
as well as catching the attention of Amsterdam’s public as we sing & dance through the city centre. Therefore,
the parade will be led by a wonderfully decorated “Music” float (a van with a 6m long, 2m wide trailer).
The Kirtan band on the trailer will have very powerful amplification for their music. 
 
Directly behind the float will be the remaining Kirtan group and dancers, with the musicians organized in groups.
The Giri Prabhus Festival crew (UK) has already confirmed leading the Kirtan but so also have many gurukuli kirtaneers from all around Europe.
Following this group will be a special costume parade area; expect quite a few of these groups to create a type of carnival procession through Amsterdam. 
 Behind this will be the main crowd followed by the Rath cart itself with Their Lordships.
Upon arrival at Dam Square at about 3pm, the Kirtaneers will all merge together to form a mega-kirtan with about 40 musicians and singers.
The Kirtan and procession will be sectioned off with tents around the outside for information, prasadam, books/gifts and
somewhere to sit and the rest of the public as onlookers.
There won’t be all-day entertainment as in previous years but there WILL be this amazing parade/carnival procession.

Aindra Das Passes Away In Vrindavan

By ISKCON News Staff for ISKCON News on 17 Jul 2010

Aindra Das is singing

Vrindavan, India — In a shocking and saddening turn of events, world-famous kirtaniya and beloved Krishna devotee Aindra Dasa was found to have passed away on the morning of Saturday, July 17, at approximately 8 am India time, in his room at ISKCON’s Krishna Balarama temple in the sacred town of Vrindavana. While details are not yet known, initial reports suggest that Aindra may have passed away due to an accidental gas leak in his room. Witnesses from the temple there reported that when Aindra did not appear at the temple for the morning services — as he ordinarily did — concerned devotees went to investigate in his room. There, they discovered that he had passed away at some point earlier.

News began to filter around the world almost instantaneously, largely through the use of popular social networking sites Facebook and Twitter. Condolence messages began to appear on Facebook within an hour of the discovery, including messages from popular ISKCON kirtaniyas Acyuta Gopi Devi Dasi, and B.B. Govinda Swami.

Additionally, some devotees in the west learned of the news through Canadian devotee Sanatana Rsi Dasa, whose father serves as a chowkidhar (caretaker) at the Krishna Balarama temple and was part of the team who discovered Aindra Prabhu’s body.

An American-born disciple of ISKCON’s founder-acarya Srila Prabhupada, Aindra moved to Vrindavana in the 1980s and was best known for his commitment to and love of kirtana chanting of the Hare Krishna maha-mantra. He was largely recognized as the heart and soul of the famous 24 Hour Kirtan Mandali in Vrindavana, and over the years his name became synonymous with deep, soulful chanting. Aspiring kirtaniyas and admirers traveled from around the world for the opportunity to chant with him and bask in his personal presence. He was also known for his scholarship in the realm of Gaudiya Vaishnava theology, expertise in deity worship, and exemplary spiritual practice.

ISKCON News will continue to cover this story as more details become available.
