The advent of the truth



Today is the day on which we celebrate the advent of Lord Krishna to this world. Tomorrow we will have the party for the public and once again you are invited 17:oo to Nimahuset with some flowers or fruits. Read more here about the advent of Lord Krishna :)

Below I post some pictures from our last days in the farm. Imlitala farm is becoming soooo nice and sweet and it is a blessing to just be there not to speak about the pleasure of working there as you can see on the pics :)




After tasting these cucumbers I am convinced i have never eaten real cucumbers before




These beans are so nice, they melt like butter in the mouth.




Fresh salad directly from the garden


Ellinor with the most tasty tomatoes you can imagine


This beautiful machine is completely transcendental since every vegetable grown in Imlitala is offered to the Absolute truth Sri Krishna!


"Working hard like an ass, for nothing more but grass" is a saying that is not valid in this case. The grass is to be used in loving service to Mother Earth and Krishna. With the grass we cover the earth so that she will not freeze too much during the winter and all the worms will be very happy...


This is Makhanchor, then man behind the camera that takes all the nice pictures




Happy Sadhu with a hard work trident. This trident represents working hard for a good cause.


(picture borrowed from internet) A sadhu with a another trident. The trident represents that he is a Shiva devotee.

Deeply absorbed in the service

Last Weekend at Nimai

SWE
Förra helgen slet vi som oxar på en åker.
Jag, Makhan Chor, och en fin kille på besök från Tyskland, Subrahamanya, höll till i köket medan Srimati och Shyamananda ockuperade kontoret.

We worked like oxes on at field last weekend.
We had a nice guy from Germany here, Subrahamanya. He and me, Makhan Chor, worked in the kitchen while Srimati and Shyamananda occupied the office.







You learn alot in the Hare Krishna movement, you better come and join us!



Jay, hard work in the office to get the news letter out to the people.

Wisdom in Sofia



I (vasudeva) am right now visiting Brahma in Bulgaria together with Gurumaharaj. I wish everyone could come and see the Bulgarian Nimai-team. They have such a nice place in the middle of Sofia. Gurudeva has given very revolutionary talks here and i have fortunatly filmed almost everything. Those who are curious can visit us in Nimahuset and copy the files to get a good dose of purifying nectar. Yesterday we were in the Rodopi mountains. Incredible beautiful. We visited a hippie-Eco festival there and Gurumaharaj gave a speech about the importance of waking up to reality, to be consequent with your ideals. Then we sang some nice bhajans. The hippies were very happy and we got two new sisters in the family.

Can you see the Aum in the dill?


Two sisters, above and below, got intiation into the sacred order of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu.




Myself (in the background) on the other side of the camera


Gopal Nrisimha, a very serious devotee who in two weeks will get married to...


...Yashoda Shakti, who also is a very serious devotee with divine motherly qualities taking care of all people surrounding her and always caring for Gurudevas health. She and Gopal is proffesionals in chinese massage, and I can tell you that that kind of massage is anything else but sense enjoyment, its extremly painful but very effective :)


Sanketvan Matajee who always makes sure that all devotees are well attended.

We celebrated Gurudevas sannyas day (the day Gurudeva took sannyas from Srila BR Sridhar Maharaj). Brahma expressed our gratefulness that Gurumaharaj renounced the small family (becoming lifelong monk) to be able to accept us all in the family of Acyuta - the infallible Lord.


Attentive listeners


Happy Swami Maharaj :)


This is the nice terass connected to Brahmas and Bhaktis apartment. There will maybe be veg-club and concerts. (the mess is due to construction work). Here Gurudeva gave such a nice class, unfortunatly the wind catched my notes so i cant give full comment on it. It was about Science and spirituality and Gurudeva explained who is a real scientist, in other words someone who is concerned with consciousness rather than matter.


Jouful kirtan swaying the heart of the visitors...


Sharango combined with cello producing the most beautiful bhajans...

This painting is a step towards realizing the Eco Veda Park that the bulgarian devotees are working hard to be able to create in the near future. Gurudeva gave the idea and now you guess who painted the picture :)

Transcendence in Eastern Europe


(From left: Sripad BV Sadhu Maharaj, Sripad Krishnananda Acharya and Srila Gurumaharaj BA Paramadvaiti)


It is said that the three wise men came from the east so I decided to visit eastern europe to meet them. And in Hungary i found them giving devotees shade from the burning sun of ego-sufferings. It was a one week festival of vaishnava nectar flowing and flooding the area with joy and enthusiasm. I give you some pictures here in this blog to dwell upon. Right now im in bulgaria capital city Sofia (wisdom) visiting Brahma and Bhakti Shakti and there will be more pictures from here. Btw, Sofia reminded me of delhi...


(This is Sri Sri Gouranga Radha Gopi-Vallabha, the beautiful and
very loved deities of Nanda Falva, the farm of our family in Hungary)



Srila Gurumaharaj always in bliss



Vamsi Vadana Prabhu sings like a Ghandharva (heavenly singer)



Goura Shakti distributed mind soothing melodies on his Sitar


Prema Vilas took care of all the sound equipment and will podcast every bhajan sung at the festival, you will get the link when its ready.



Vrindavan-lila making flower garlands for the devotees



Devotees are more revolutionary than even the zapatistas...



This fellow you might recognize, we are hoping he will come back soon to sweden


Sripad BR Swami Maharaj in 35 C heat... hopefully he will visit us in sweden during August


Here you can get a glimpse of our new recruit for Sweden, bhakta Simon, who here got pre-initiation from Srila Gurumaharaj.


Sripad Govinda Maharaj making the Agnihotra (fire sacrifice)


Odissy Dance performance


Of course pizzafestival was there. But i only got 2 piece, torture



Siddhanta Prabhu from New Hampshire in US gave yoga seminars. He is one of those stalwart devotees who has opened up his doors for others to participate in spiritual life.



Incredible Prasadam


RadhaShakti dd from Croatia shared her singing genius


This animal is tricky. She is praying, but what she is praying for is to be questioned. After intercourse with the male, she kills and eats the male. That is a high price for a little sexual enjoyment, but seemingly the male is ready to take the risk. This world has unique features i must say...


Hard workers, Hari and Govinda who both has visited us in Sweden.
