1 June 2014 Dedicated to His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, Founder-Acharya of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness Celebrating Diversity with an enchanting evening of music Srila Prabhupada: The essence of everything is the Supreme Lord: He is called the saram. And those who sing and talk about Him are called the sarangas, or the pure devotees. The pure devotees are always hankering after the lotus feet of the Lord. The lotus has a kind of honey which is transcendentally relished by the devotees. They are like the bees who are always after the honey. Srimad Bhagavatam: purport Nrsimhadev The Protector The Appearance of the Lord s most protective and fearsome form was celebrated as never before at Bhaktivedanta Manor. On Tuesday 13th May the Manor School children charmed its audience with a drama and later that morning was the traditional fire ceremony. After a chanting street procession in Watford, in the afternoon there was an abhisekha (bathing ceremony) and the Bhaktivedanta Players concluded with another drama. On Saturday 31 May, the George Harrison Garden at Bhaktivedanta Manor, was brought to life with the enchanting melodies of his music, as a local community choir performed a special concert in celebration of their tenth anniversary. The Hertfordshire based choir, called 'Com.unity', was set up in 2004 for local people to participate in, particularly those that may be vulnerable, to come together and sing for pleasure. Priding itself on the diversity of its membership, the choir's sixty members include wheelchair users, members of all faiths, culture and backgrounds. Their repertoire includes popular upbeat songs, with uplifting, themes such as friendship, unity, hope, courage and peace. Over the past ten years, the choir have performed at a number of high profile events, including the Royal Albert Hall, and for personalities such as Simon Cowell and Sir Roger Moore. ISKCON's own Bhakti Choir formed in August 2013 by...continued on page 2

4 Every wedding guest gets a book A new initiative to distribute books at the Manor weddings is under way. The wedding guests at Bhaktivedanta Manor often includes many people that might not normally visit a temple. They enjoy their visit and often request tours and have many inquiries. Thus the temple wanted to make sure everyone gets a small book to take away with them. Over last two months they have already distributed 2000 books. Travel with the Monks, a summer tour of the UK A team of eight devotees are touring the country for the summer months. They are visiting ISKCON temples and sanga groups, sharing Krishna Consciousness in towns that may not have seen devotees for many years. Devotees are welcome to take part, so if you are interested please contact Sutapa das: sutapa@krishnatemple.com. Sharing Bhagavad gita with others Members of the congregation as part of their study of Bhagvad gita are sharing the wisdom of the Gita. They are visiting poeple in their locality to share the message. In April over 40 new devotee participants in Maidenhead, Wembley and Hounslow went out for the first time! Some of them have even begun one-to-one Bhagavad-gita study groups with the interested people they meet on their travels. Festival of Chariots in London London's most famous landmarks were brought to life in a dazzling display of sound, music and colour through the streets, as thousands of devotees from across the country came to the city to celebrate the 46th Rathayatra festival. Three beautifully decorated Rathayatra chariots carrying Lord Jagannatha, Lord Baladeva and Lady Subhadra, deities from ISKCON London's Soho Street temple, began their journey in Hyde Park and were pulled by hand to greet a huge gathering of devotees, visitors and tourists in the city's iconic Trafalgar Square. After the street festival, the celebrations continued in Trafalgar Square, where visitors sampled plates of delicious free vegetarian food, visited a range of stalls as well as enjoyed the vibrant stage show put on by devotees from across the country.

5 Volunteers Retreats The volunteers at Bhaktivedanta Manor are an integral part of the community. After all, huge and spectacular festivals such as Janmashtami and Diwali would simply be impossible to have without them! Last Easter Weekend 130 volunteers stayed over at Buckland Hall in Brecon, South Wales where they shared a morning program and participated in a variety of outdoor and indoor fun activities, including a quiz. There were also presentations by, Akhandadhi das, Gaura Gopal das, Navadvip Chandra das, Sahil Agarwal (Chair of the Pandava Sena), Saurabh, and Vraja- Valasini das spoke on Deity worship. Just weeks later 200 adult and 35 junior volunteers gathered at nearby Queen s School, when Gaura Gopal spoke on the teachings found within the Mahabharat, Sutapa das spoke on devotional service as presented in the Caitanya Caritamrta, and Ghanasyam Priya das shared realisations on how to apply the teachings of the Bhagavad gita in everyday life.

6 Bhagavad Gita A Short Summary in Acronyms by Sutapa das Based on Bhagavad Gita As It Is by His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada It is a sign of sanity and wisdom if one takes time to contemplate their death. During special festivals, Latin Americans hang skulls in their houses to remind themselves. Yogis in India meditate on the banks of the Ganges where openpyre funerals are being conducted. Although many would consider it morbid to contemplate death, it is nevertheless a real situation that nobody wants to experience but that everyone has to face. The Bhagavadgita outlines four such unavoidable predicaments: birth, disease, old age, and ultimately death. We often forget the inevitability of death, and thus, in Chapter Eight entitled Attaining the Supreme, Krishna deals with this very subject. D Doubts (Verses 1-4) Doubting is a function of intelligence and at no point in the Bhagavad-gita does Krishna reprimand Arjuna for asking so many questions. On the contrary, He encourages Arjuna to intelligently contemplate all His answers and subsequently make his own decisions. This chapter opens with Arjuna s doubts and questions on several spiritual concepts. Krishna concisely answers seven of Arjuna s eight questions immediately, and then prepares to answer the final question - How can one attain a spiritual destination at the time of death? The rest of the chapter is solely dedicated to answering this essential inquiry. E End of life (Verses 5-8) - Imagine you are going to watch a movie and you meet someone who just saw it. You ll never guess what happens, 8 - Attaining the Supreme they say... before they even finish that statement you ll interject and stop them; after all, knowing the end spoils the whole film. Similarly, for those engaged in worldly pursuits, hearing about, contemplating and accepting the end (death) is not the most inspiring reflection. It simply spoils their movie of life in the here and now. For a spiritualist, however, the end is not a depressing thought since his concept of life and its purpose is much broader. For one who is born, death is certain, and for one who dies, birth is around the corner. Krishna explains how a person s thoughts at death sum up their consciousness and aspirations cultivated throughout life. Thus, one s state of mind at the time of death determines their next situation. For those who remember God at death, they reach the kingdom of God. A Attaining the Supreme (Verses 9-22) - The entire world is a temporary university specifically created to dispense life lessons. When one becomes frustrated by the pursuits of this world, they realise that happiness lies in another realm. As spiritual beings, life in a complex world of matter is an incompatible situation. While the material world is rubber-stamped as a constantly changing place of misery, the spiritual world is distinguished as being eternal and all-blissful. There are many painstaking ways in which different spiritualists conduct their lives in order to attain that supreme destination, and having attained it one never returns to this temporary realm again. D Devotion (Verses 23-28) Since various spiritual practices are discussed in this chapter, Krishna concludes by outlining the most effective process to attain the Supreme. Bhakti-yoga, the path of active service to God in a mood of devotion, is described as the topmost spiritual path. In an age of rampant materialism and temptation coupled with individual weakness and lack of spiritual aspiration, a highly practical and powerful spiritual process is required. Through bhakti-yoga anyone can experience an incredibly fulfilling spiritual connection in a very short time. If one is thus able to saturate their consciousness in God, they will be sure to attain the supreme destination regardless of all the technicalities and intricacies that other spiritual processes may stress.

7 SUMMER 2014 So, summer 2014 is fast approaching and every IPS member has the opportunity to spiritually rejuvenate themselves during the summer holidays! Mother Urmila, who will be giving inspirational talks. Premisha Patel Age: 16 Studying: Preston Manor High School To mark the 20th Anniversary of IPS, Sutapa Prabhu has created a special 5 day programme for the boys of Pandava Sena where he will be taking them for Sankirtan and to distribute Prabhupada s books in the North of England Being based in Machester Temple, starting with Morning Program and class by Sutapa prabhu and others, they will go to a different town each day to do Sankirtan and then in the evening, they would participate in the local Namahatta! The towns include Sheffield, Preston, Liverpool, Bolton and Birmingham before heading back home to the manor. The whole reasoning behind the trip was to make an offering to Srila Prabhupada, who stressed the distribution of his literatures more than anything else in this movement. Spaces are running out, so contact Kishan: ASAP! For everyone who has signed up for the Senagetaway to Spain, the awaited pre trip BBQ will be on the 6th of July! Contact the trip team/rahul on for more information! How did you find out about Psena? I found out about pandava sena through the manor, I was told about the events that take place, one of the events that takes place is HARROW JAMMIN which was my first PS event! What did you like about the events? I really enjoy the ps events they are really engaging and interactive. Also the senagetaway trips are amazing, you come back with so many friends, everyone is so welcoming and friendly. What do you do in Psena?
