VTE Teacher Training 1 Course Graduates

Rasanandini — Tue, 16 Mar 2010 03:14:45 GMT

Last Sunday twenty-four Melbourne devotees completed a nine-day-intensive teacher training course.

The course was facilitated by Atul Krishna das (Vaisnava Training and Education - Mayapur, India).

This course is very interactive and fulfills the training needs of bhakta and bhaktin leaders, bhakti vriksha preachers and all devotees who are called upon to become ISKCON educators. The system is based on the process of sharing knowledge, skills and values that Srila Prabhupada used to establish ISKCON.

Each participant received a VTE certificate, which qualifies them to sit further VTE certified
courses.

A smaller group of Bhakti Sastri graduates who hope to facilitate Bhakti Sastri courses will continue their training this week.

April Pancanga Bhakti Seminars

Rasanandini — Mon, 15 Mar 2010 03:33:24 GMT

April in Melbourne brings the Panchanga Bhakti seminars.

The panchanga (five primary limbs of sadhana bhakti) are: association with devotees; chanting the holy name; reading Srimad-Bhagavatam regularly; residing in Mathura, the birthplace of Krishna; and worshiping the Deity with great respect and veneration.

Caitanya Mahaprabhu says,
‘These five limbs of devotional service are the best of all. Even a slight performance of these five awakens love for Krishna.’ (spoken to Sanatana Goswami, cited in Caitanya Caritamrta Madhya 22.129)

The seminars will be facilitated by Mother Narayani. Narayani is a disciple of Srila Prabhupada and a Vrindavana Institute of Higher Education lecturer. Please take advantage of her visit to Melbourne Mahaprabhu Mandir to hear about these essential processes of sadhana bhakti. Classes will run from 7-9pm., Wednesday the 14th. to Saturday the 17th. of April.

Lotusimprints Blog » Melbourne Mahaprabhu Mandir -- Australia 1975

Aniruddha — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 07:10:09 GMT

Second article from Hari Sauri on Prabhupada's 1975 visit to Melbourne...

Here's the last of my unpublished pics. (unless I find some more!) from Melbourne 1975. Srila Prabhupada came in mid-May and installed what were then the largest brass Deities in ISKCON and in fact, the largest brass Deities ever cast in Bengal--Sri Sri Nitai Gaura. It was a brilliant event because along with Their Lordships' appearance, ISKCON Australia also revealed to the world its new headquarters at 197 Danks St. Albert Park. A beautiful 2 acre property that started off as a stately home, became a Christian Brother's college and then a Heritage-listed monument, and finally a Hare Krishna temple.

Lotusimprints Blog » Australia 1974 -- Jet-age parivrajakacarya

Aniruddha — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 07:03:58 GMT

The first of a couple of nice articles by Hari Sauri regarding Prabhupada's visits to Melbourne...

In 1973 Srila Prabhupada had promised to attend the Melbourne Rathayatra. We had built two new rathas, but the main factor in attracting him to come was the prominence of the small Australian yatra in the book distribution listings. Inspired by Buddhimanta prabhu, the Australians were leading the world in their attempts to spread Krsna consciousness and Srila Prabhupada therefore promised to attend the 1973 Rathayatra. Unfortunately he got sick in India and had to cancel.
He flew into Melbourne on June 25 1974 for his fourth trip to Australia with his secretary Satsvarupa Das Goswami. This time he only visited Melbourne whereas for his first three trips he had visited Sydney as well.

The Rathayatra on June 29 was glorious and Srila Prabhupada, after joining up with the rathas in the main city square, walked the whole route, terminating at the Royal Exhibition Gardens.
