New Vrindavan, USA: Ramachandra Vijayotsava


Lord Shri Ramchandra

Lord Rama’s victory over the demon Ravana is celebrated as Ramachandra Vijyotsava. The Yuddha-kanda of Valmiki Ramayana states:



Empowering the arrow with the required mantras, Rama placed the terrible Brahmastra upon His bowstring. While gazing upon the flaming arrow, the monkeys became filled with delight, while dread penetrated the hearts of the Rakshasas. As Rama pulled the bow string back to His ear, the earth began to shudder and the heavens appeared to be thrown into confusion. At last, when Rama released the Brahmastra, it sped through the air like death itself, striking violently the chest of the Rakshasa king. Piercing through Ravana’s heart like a thunderbolt, the fierce arrow then entered into the earth, taking Ravana’s sinful life along with it. Then, as the wonderful Brahmastra reentered Rama’s quiver, Ravana dropped his bow from his hand. Vomiting blood from his ten mouths, he fell down dead upon the ground.



With Ravana dead, the rishis and demigods felt blessed relief and peace of mind that they had not enjoyed for a long time. A gentle, cool, fragrant breeze then began to blow, and the sun serenely spread its rays, so that happiness appeared to pervade all directions.



To celebrate this victory, in the evening a huge effigy of Ravana is burnt on the bonfire, followed by a display of fireworks. The devotees rejoice as evil is overcome by the Lord to benefit everyone.

Institute for Sustainable Society, NZ: Awakening the White Lotus: A Meditation-Based Workshop


Please join us at Gaura Yoga in Wellington from Oct 13 for a 4 week meditation-based workshop series. Based on the premise that certain states of consciousness lead to certain actions which in turn have certain consequences, we will explore the 5000 year old tradition of bhakti-yoga to see how it can provide a framework and practice that will reawaken the qualities of consciousness necessary for truly sustainable behaviour.

Srila Prabhupada's Letters



1970 October 5: "One has to hear the message of Godhead from the lips of a pure devotee. That message is coming in disciplic succession and one who is purely in that chain is called Acarya. Religion is practically presented by the bona fide Spiritual Master."

Srila Prabhupada's Letters


1970 October 5: "When the scientist philosopher medical man will get the opportunity to study what is God, what are His energies, what is my relationship, how to approach Him, only then there will there be paradise. Otherwise life in ignorance of God is parasite in paradise."

1974 October 5: "In Vrindaban Krishna calls the cows each by his own name. When cows were purchased in the beginning I have seen them crying because the calf was taken for killing. They can understand. Not that they are animal and cannot understand."

Bharatavarsa.net: Bhakti Vikasa Swami: offering obeisances to Krsna will not go in vain


...this offering obeisances to Krsna will not go in vain. It will have effect. So it is inexpensive. It is very simple, without any loss. Suppose you have got a picture of Krsna and you simply think of the picture, man-mana, and you offer a little lamp, a little incense, and if you don't offer, if you simply offer your respect, what is your loss? Is there any loss? [break] We are all businessmen. We calculate everything in terms of loss and profit. So there is no loss. That's a fact. But if there is any profit, why don't you try it?
