Our special guest Madhudvisa Prabhu is visiting Australia from Los Angeles:
'Madhudvisa...joined the Krishna consciousness movement in San Francisco in the early days of 1967, and had taken initiation from Srila Prabhupada in 1968. His wealth of experience would be a particularly valuable asset in Australia. Soon after his arrival in Sydney [1972], he set about training the young men there in the art of mrdanga playing, inspiring the devotees with his memorable street kirtanas.' (Kurma Das:The Great Transcendental Adventure)Madhudvisa Prabhu personally assisted Srila Prabhupada to install Sri-SriRadha-Vallabha (1973) and Sri-Sri Gaura-Nitai (1975), and headed ISKCON Australia's purchase and development of Their Lordships' home: Mahaprabhu Mandir (1975).
Please join us for an unforgettable transcendental celebration in honour of Lord Sri Rama.

Wednesday, December 5, 2007Snana Yatra celebrates Maharaja Indradumnya's installation of Jagannatha, Balarama and Subhadra's Deity forms in Puri in the far distant past. We commemorate the installation in our own Melbourne summer so Their Lordships will relish a cooling bath.
During the Hati-vesha arati following Their bath, we offer Lord Jagannatha, Balarama, and Subhadra special preparations made from flat rice and yoghurt (or condensed milk) with sweet fruits, berries, nuts or a spicy salad combination. Usually this special Mahaprasadam is auctioned off to the highest bidding devotee. However this year, we are planning to pre-sell each pot with a stunning handpainted picture on it.
Anandini mataji is looking for enthusiastic volunteers to help with the painting of the pots. She will also be looking for sponsors who will be the fortunate recipients of Their Lordships special Mahaprasadam remnants.
Keep an eye out at upcoming Sunday Feasts for Anandini. She will be manning a stall to show off the beautiful devotional pots, and to accept offers from sponsors.
The pots will be presented to donors during Snana Yatra on the 26th of December after the abhisheka and arati.
Here are some of the wonderful pots already painted by Parvarti devi dasi.
