Janmasthami





Srimad Bhagavatam 10:3:7-8
mumucur munayor devah


sumanamsi mudanvitah


mandam mandam jalardhara


jagarjur anusargaram


nisithe tama udbhute


jayamane janardane


devakyam deva-rupinyam


visnuh sarva-guha-saya


havirasid yatha pracyamdisindur iva puskalah



Translation


The demigods and great saintly persons showered flowers in a joyous mood, and clouds gathered in the sky and very mildly thundered, making sounds like those of the ocean’s waves. Then the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Visnu, who is situated in the core of everyone’s heart, appeared from the heart of Devaki in the dense darkness of night, like the full moon rising on the eastern horizon, because Devaki was of the same category as Sri Krishna
.

Jay Sri Krishna

Happy birthday sweet Lord !!!

Here are some pictures of the deities at the campus temple- exclusive to my blog. lol. Lord Krishna and Srimati Radharani gave us beautiful darshan in their blue outfits as well as Sri Ram and all the Devis. Durga Matha looked beautiful in her grey sari so I thought i might share her darshan. Westville Hindu Center ki jaya!!!

An auspicious prelude to Akashya Trithia

On Sunday the 26th April, Yashik and I headed off to the Westville Hindu Center to dress the Lord in his many different froms. There are various deities at the temple, almost the entire pantheon. There is even a deity of Lord Brahma, one hardly finds deities of Lord Brahma ever since his curse....
Yashik off course decided to dress all deities in relation to Lord Shiva like Shiv and parvati, Ardhnarishwar as well as Lord Brahma, Mother Gayatri and Devi Saraswati. He had worked the previous night hand sewing the outfits.

I had dressed Sri Ram Darbar among others........

Hope the deities like their new clothes and forgive us for any offences caused.

Lord Chaitanya's moon is rising

My first Blog is dedicated to Lord Chaitanya on the event of Gaura Purnima



trinad api sunichena

taror api sahishnuna

amanina manadena

kirtaniyah sada harih



One should chant the holy name of the Lord in a humble state of mind, thinking oneself lower than the straw in the street; one should be more tolerant than a tree, devoid of all sense of false prestige, and should be ready to offer all respect to others. In such a state of mind one can chant the holy name of the Lord constantly.
