The spiritual significance of Jagannath Ratha-yatra The meaning of the Ratha-Yatra parade is steeped in religious sentiment. The form that Lord Krishna takes as Jagannatha is the manifestation of His ecstasy that He feels when He leaves the opulence of His palaces in Dwaraka, represented by the Puri temple, to return to the town of Vrindavan and the simple and pure spontaneous love the residents there have for Him. Thus, there is no difference between Lord Krishna and Lord Jagannatha. So in the mood of separation from His loving devotees, Jagannatha mounts His chariot and returns to Vrindavan, which is symbolically represented by the Gundicha temple. In this way, the esoteric meaning of the Ratha-Yatra parade is that we pull the Lord back into our hearts and rekindle the loving relationship we have with Him. Many great poems and songs, such as Jagannatha-astakam, have been composed describing the event and the highly ecstatic devotional mood one can enter while participating. Many verses are also written in the Caitanya-caritamrita that describe the pastimes Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu had during these Ratha-Yatra festivals 500 years ago. To explain the internal meaning of Ratha-Yatra further, Lord Jagannatha is the embodiment of Lord Krishna's love for Srimate Radharani. While Lord Krishna was living in Dwaraka, he felt great separation from Radharani and the residents of Vrindavana. On the day of one solar eclipse, He traveled to Kuruksetra with His brother Balarama and His sister Subhadra on His chariot. There He met Srimate Radharani and other residents of Vrindavana, all of which wanted to take the Lord back to Vrindavana. While traveling and thinking of this meeting, He entered mahabhava, the highest sentiments of loving exchange. In that state, His eyes dilated like fully bloomed lotuses, and His hands and legs retreated into His body. In this way, the form of Lord Jagannatha is called radha-viraha-vidhura, the separation from Radharani, and also mahabhava-prakasha, the manifestation of mahabhava for Radharani. Lord Caitanya was the embodiment of Srimate Radharani's love for Lord Krishna. So Lord Caitanya taking Lord Jagannatha from the main temple to the Gundicha corresponds to Srimate Radharani's wanting to take Lord Krishna from Dwaraka back to Vrindavana, the place of spontaneous and ecstatic love of God. It is also explained that by participating in this festival, chanting and dancing, or helping pull the ropes of the chariots, one becomes free of many lifetimes of karma. One can even become liberated due to the spiritual potency of Lord Jagannatha's presence. One of the ways this happens is explained as follows: at the very end of one's life when the memories of his activities pass through the mind, when he remembers the amazing Ratha-Yatra festival his mind stops and focuses on that event. Thus, he dies thinking of Lord Jagannatha and is liberated from material existence and returns to the spiritual world, just like a yogi is transferred to the spiritual strata when his mind is fixed on the Supersoul at the time of death. This is why thousands of pilgrims come to Jagannatha Puri every year for Ratha-Yatra.... Read more...

Donation in kind and cash welcome . Srimati Radharani's Appearance Srimati Radharani is the eternal consort of Lord Krishna. Five thousand years ago, when Lord Krishna came to this planet to perform His pastimes, Srimati Radharani also appeared. This year we celebrate her appearance on September 17th 2018 Monday . This special day is known as Radhashtami. The following is adapted from a lecture by His Holiness Varshana Swami: "On a half-moon night in the month of Bhadra, King Vrishabhanu came to the Jamuna to bathe and found himself engulfed in a golden aura, the golden aura of pure love. It was emanating from a lotus, which had a baby girl standing on its whorl. When the king returned to the palace with the baby, Queen Kirtida was delighted. She was also shocked that the girl was blind. "Lord Krishna's mother, Yashoda, heard that her best friend Kirtida had a baby, so she came to visit along with her husband and her son. Krishna crawled up to the cradle and pulled Himself up and looked in. At that moment, Srimati Radharani's eyes fluttered and opened wide and blossomed like lotuses. It seems that she did not want to see anything of this world, only the form of Sri Krishna. Everyone was delighted. "Srimati Radharani is the mother of the universe, the spiritual mother of all souls. And the concept of mother is the most sacred symbol—that of purity, selflessness, caring, sharing, nurturing, and love. That is why our sacred mantra is the holy names. It is the holy names in the vocative. Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare / Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare. "'Hare' means 'Radhe.' It is a plaintive, desperate cry for the mother. 'Radhe! Please wake us up from this nightmare of mortal life! Remind us of the father we have forgotten and take us home!'" In the Krishna consciousness movement, devotees carefully worship Srimati Radharani as the bestower of devotional service to Krishna, by attentively chanting her name in the maha-mantra, by worshiping her deity form, and by following the instructions of the most merciful Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, who is the combined form of Radha and Krishna. "(Therefore) Radha is parama-devata, the supreme goddess, and She is worshipable for everyone. She is the protectress of all, and She is the mother of the entire universe." —Caitanya Caritamrita, Adi 4.89 Srimati Radharani's Artistic Qualities Singing Playing on musical instruments Dancing Theatricals Painting Painting the face and body with colored unguents and cosmetics Preparing offerings from rice and flowers Making a covering of flowers for a bed Applying preparations for cleansing the teeth, cloths, and painting the body Making the groundwork of jewels Covering the bed Playing on music in water Splashing with water Practically applying an admixture of colors Designing a preparation of wreaths Practically setting the coronet on the head Practically dressing in the tiring room Decorating the tragus of the ear Practical application of aromatics Applying or setting ornaments Jugglery Kaucumara – a kind of art Art of sleight of hand Preparing varieties of salad, bread, cake and delicious food Practically preparing palatable drinks and tinging draughts with red color Needleworks and weaving Playing with thread Playing on lute and small x-shaped drum Making and solving riddles Caping or reciting verse for verse as a trial for memory or skill Practicing language difficult to be answered by others Reciting books Enacting short plays and anecdotes Solving enigmatic verses Designing preparation of shield, cane and arrows Spinning by spindle Carpentry Engineering Testing silver and jewels Metallurgy Mineralogy Practicing medicine or medical treatment, by herbs Knowing the mode of fighting of lambs, cocks, and birds Maintaining or knowing conversation between male and female cockatoos Healing or cleaning a person with perfumes Combing hair Talking with letters and fingers Fabricating barbarous or foreign sophistry Knowing provincial dialects Knowing prediction by heavenly voice or knowing preparation of toy carts by flowers Mechanics The use of amulets Art of conversation Composing verse mentally Designing a literary work or a medical remedy Practicing as a builder of shrines called after him The use of lexicography and meters The art of concealment of cloths Knowing specific gambling Playing with dice or magnet Using children's toys Enforcing discipline The art of gaining victory The art of awakening with music at dawn...

- Srila Prabhupada Appearance Day, Sept 4 Dear devotees, please accept the blessings of Lord Krishna and Srila Prabhupada .This blog has been created for you all to write your offerings and glorifications to Srila Prabhupada on the occassion of his auspicious appearance day on the 4th September. Please fill the form below, write your offerings and glorifications to Srila Prabhupada and SUBMIT A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada appeared in a family of pure Gaudiya Vaisnavas in 1896 in Calcutta. From early childhood he showed signs of pure devotion to Lord Sri Krishna. At the tender age of five, he single-handedly organized a neighborhood Ratha-yatra festival to glorify Lord Jagannatha. He authentically decorated a small cart to resemble the Lord's colossal chariot in Puri. Besides leading the kirtana party, he organized cooking and prasadam distribution. With his enthusiasm and ecstatic love for Lord Krishna he engaged the community in chanting: Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare, Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare. Unlike other children his age who would waste their time playing, Srila Prabhupada preferred to visit the local Radha Krishna temple. For hours together, he would lovingly gaze upon the transcendental forms of Radha-Govindaji, absorbing Their divine blessings and beautiful darsana. In his youth, Maharaja Parikshit used to dress a Deity of Krishna. Similarly, from his childhood, Srila Prabhupada also began worshiping small Deities of Radha and Krishna. He quickly mastered the traditional beats and ragas on mrdanga and harmonium. With pure devotion Srila Prabhupada would sing sweet devotional bhajans to please Radha-Govindaji. At twenty-six, he met his eternal spiritual master Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura (Founder-Acarya of Gaudiya Math). At their first meeting, Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura gave Srila Prabhupada a divine command: "Go to the West and spread Krishna Consciousness in the English language." In full faith Srila Prabhupada embraced the order as his life and soul. After realizing his guru's teachings, he started writing and distributing Back to Godhead, an English language magazine on the science of Krishna consciousness. Although begun in 1944 in a small way, Back to Godhead now circulates worldwide in over fifty languages. Srila Prabhupada, like all pure Vaisnavas, showed immense compassion for the suffering conditioned souls. Although they are rotting in the materialistic life of ignorance, the stubborn conditioned souls insist that they "have no time for spiritual life." Neither their indifference, nor the sizzling summer heat of Delhi could keep Srila Prabhupada from distributing the cooling balm of Krishna consciousness. Once while selling Back to Godhead he collapsed on the street from heat stroke. Yet he remained fixed in his determination to please his spiritual master. He took sannyasa in 1959 after retiring from household life.Taking shelter of Vrindavana, he rented a bhajana kutir in the Radha-Damodara temple where he absorbed the association of Sri Rupa and Sri Jiva Gosvamis. Srila Prabhupada spent the next six years performing intensive Krishna bhajana. Regularly, he bathed in Yamuna, and took darshan of Madana Mohana, Govindaji, Gopinatha, and Radha Ramana. He prayed for the mercy of the six Gosvamis and continued writing and printing. During bhajana he would receive blessings, inspiration, and direct guidance from the all-merciful Sri Rupa Gosvami. At this time, he began his life's main literary work, an English translation with commentary of the Srimad Bhagavatam. For Srila Prabhupada it was out of a devotional outpouring than a mere translation from esoteric Sanskrit to understandable English. Gaudiya Vaisnava history reveals that some advanced Devotees would begin crying in spiritual happiness while reading the Srimad Bhagavatam. Smearing the ink on the pages, their tears would make the lines illegible. Similarly, Srila Prabhupada once said that his Srimad Bhagavatam commentaries are actually expressions of his "devotional ecstacies." Working alone, Srila Prabhupada wrote, begged money to print, and personally hauled the paper to publish the first three volumes of Srimad Bhagavatam. Recollecting these times, he once said humbly to his disciples: "I did not know anything about writing. But my spiritual master told me to spread Lord Krishna's glories in English. So this is what I tried to do, following in the steps of my Guru Maharaja. He was such a transcendental aristocrat. I had no great personal qualifications. I just tried to follow his instructions." Other disciples of Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura tried unsuccessfully to preach Krishna consciousness in English-speaking Europe. Srila Prabhupada, however, had full faith in his guru and Krishna's name. Fearless as Abhimanyu, he brought Krishna Consciousness to the world's most powerful country, America. Besides speaking English and being a "super power," America was leading the world in the sinful activities of meat eating, illicit sex, gambling, intoxication. If Americans would take up Krishna consciousness, thought Srila Prabhupada, then surely it would spread to "every town and village," as Lord Chaitanya predicted five-hundred years ago. After all, "What's a glorious victory without a glorious fight," which Srila Prabhupada would sometimes say. At the age of seventy, armed with karatals and a crate of Bhagavatams, Srila Prabhupada set off to America in 1965 on the steamship "Jaladutta." During the arduous forty-day sea journey the ship met heavy storms. For two consecutive nights, he had severe heart attacks which almost killed him. On the third night, Lord Krishna appeared to Srila Prabhupada in a dream. The Supreme Lord Himself was pulling the ship to America, encouraging Srila Prabhupada and giving him all protection. Srila Prabhupada penned this prayer upon reaching New York City: "My dear Lord Krishna, You are so kind upon this useless soul, but I do not know why You have brought me here. Now You can do whatever You like with me. How shall I make them understand the message of Krishna consciousness? I am very unfortunate, unqualified, and most fallen. Therefore, I. am seeking Your benediction so I can convince them. For I am powerless to do so on my own. "0 Lord, I am like a puppet in Your hands. So if You have brought me here to dance, then make me dance, make me dance. O Lord, make me dance as You like." In Manhattan, Srila Prabhupada struggled through the icy cold snowbound winter of 1965. He continued writing and occassionally selling a few Bhagavatams. But for one year nothing really happened. Gradually, a few yoga students began attending his classes on Bhagavad-gita. The word spread that an "Indian swami was in town teaching a unique yoga method: chanting Hare Krishna." After his room was robbed, he moved into a small storefront apartment at 26 Second Avenue in the Lower East Side. In nearby Tompkins Square Park, Srila Prabhupada led the first public chanting of Hare Krishna in the Western world. On July 13, 1966, he founded ISKCON (The International Society for Krishna Consciousness) and initiated a dozen disciples. To receive initiation disciples must promise to give up all forms of illicit sex, meat eating, intoxication, and gambling. Srila Prabhupada was well on his way to realizing his mission. Under Srila Prabhupada's pure guidance the Krishna consciousness movement quickly flourished. Within months ISKCON Radha-Krishna temples opened in New York, San Francisco, Boston, Los Angeles, Montreal and London. In the 1970's, he traveled around the world fourteen times, establishing 108 Radha-Krishna temples in all the major cities of the Americas, Europe, Africa, India, Asia, and Australia. He initiated a total of five thousand sincere disciples from different nationalities. He opened ashrams and pure vegetarian "Govinda's" restaurants. On every continent he started Vedic gurukulas and goshallas. Srila Prabhupada was the first spiritual master to introduce both elegant Deity worship of Radha and Krishna and the annual Ratha-yatra festival of Lord Jagannatha in the western countries. ISKCON's Jagannatha Ratha-yatra festivals, complete with three beautiful wooden carts carrying Lord Jagannatha, Lord Baladeva, and Lady Subhadra, a thunderous sankirtana procession, and massive prasadam distribution, take place every year in over two-hundred cities worldwide. Though constantly traveling and preaching to priests, princes, politicians, philosophers, scientists, and his disciples, Srila Prabhupada kept translating the Srimad Bhagavatam. He wrote over eighty books about. Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead. The Teachings of Lord Chaitanya, Nectar of Devotion, The Science of Self-Realization, and English translations with commentaries on Srimad Bhagavatam, Bhagavad-gita As It Is, Isopanisad, Upadesamrta, Narada Bhakti-sutras, Mukunda mala-stotra, and Caitanya Caritamrta are some of his works. Prabhupada's books have been translated into fifty languages such as French, German, Italian, Spanish, Chinese, Russian, Japanese, Swahili, Hindi, Bengali. Almost a billion copies have been distributed worldwide. In only eleven years, between the ages of seventy and eighty-one, Srila Prabhupada accomplished his mission. He credited his phenomenal success to personal effort, an unshakeable faith in his spiritual master and the Holy Names of Lord Sri Krishna. He was not an ordinary person. Srila Prabhupada was personally chosen and empowered by the Supreme Lord to spread Krishna consciousness and chanting Hare Krishna all over the world. In Vrindavana, during the auspicious month of Kartika in 1977 on November 14, while surrounded by loving disciples singing their hearts out in kirtana, Srila Prabhupada chanted Hare Krishna and entered the eternal pastimes of Radha-Syamasundara. To this day ISKCONkeeps growing through cooperation and strict following of Srila Prabhupada's pure example and perfect instructions. As one of the world's most dynamic religious and cultural movemments, ISKCON has more than four-hundred temples on five continents. In former communist Russia, fifty ISKCON temples serve the people of the CIS (Commonwealth of Independent States). Srila Prabhupada's samadhi is in Vrindavana at the ISKCON Krishna-Balarama Mandir. ... Read more...

- Balarama Purnima ISKCON Chennai will celebrate the appearance day of Lord Balarama on 26th August, Sunday from 10am to 2pm with Jhulan yatra, arati and uri-adi (dahi handi). Please participate in the festival by bringing sweets, fruits and honey which are very much relished by Lord Balarama. Balaram Purnima Festival 26 August 2018 At ISKCON Chennai 9.30am : Kirtan 10.30 : Pot Breaking and Kirtan (Ground Floor) 11.15 : Abhishek 11.45 : Lecture In Temple Hall 12.30pm: Maha Arati 12.50pm: Jhoolan Festival 1.30pm : Prasadam Who is Lord Balarama? The Supreme Personality of Godhead, Krishna, is the fountainhead of all incarnations. Lord Balarama is his second body. They are both one and the same identity. They differ only in form. Balarama is the first bodily expansion of Krishna, and He assists in Lord Krishna's transcendental pastimes. He is the source of the entire spiritual world and is the adi-guru, the original spiritual master. He assumes five other forms to serve Lord Krishna. He Himself helps in the pastimes of Lord Krishna, and He does the work of creation in four other forms called the catur-vyuha (four armed) forms known as Vasudeva, Sankarshana, Pradyumna and Anirudha. He executes the orders of Lord Krishna in the work of creation, and in the form of Lord Sesa He serves Sri Krishna in various ways. In all the forms He tastes the transcendental bliss of serving Krishna. No one can approach Krishna without first getting the mercy of Baladeva. Descent of Balarama Whenever Krishna appears in the material world, He is accompanied by His associates and paraphernalia. Five thousand years ago when Krishna descended into the material world, He was first preceded by Baladeva. Only after Baladeva give His mercy did Krishna descend, such is the intimate relationship between Krishna and Baladeva. When Baladeva appeared as the seventh child in the womb of Devaki, she could understand that this was a divine child and this made her all the more concerned about His safety. Even Kamsa could sense His potency and he became fearful, thinking he may have been tricked by the prophecy that he will be slain only by the eight child of Devaki. At this time Krishna instructed Yogamaya, His internal potency, to transfer the unborn child from the womb of Devaki to that of Rohini, one of the other wives of Vasudeva, who was hiding from Kamsa in the house of Nanda Maharaja in Gokul. In this way Balarama was born in Gokul under the protection of Nanda Maharaja. Garga Muni the venerable kulguru (family priest) of the Yadu dynasty revealed to Rohini that the child she was carrying was indeed that of her husband Vasudeva. At the time of the name-giving ceremony he named the child Rama, one who gives all pleasures. Referring to the immense strength of the child, Garga Muni predicted that He will also be known as Balarama (bala meaning strength). Since He was forcibly attracted from the womb of Devaki to that of Rohini, He was also be called Sankarshana. As the son of Rohini He was known as Rohini-nandan and as the elder brother of Krishna He was also called Douji. The form of Lord Balarama Powerful Lord Balarama is sixteen years old, full of the luster of youth and has a fair complexion the color of crystal. He wears blue garments and a garland of forest flowers. His handsome hair is tied in a graceful topknot. Splendid earrings adorn His ears and His neck is splendidly decorated with garlands of flowers and strings of jewels. Splendid armlets and bracelets ornament Douji's graceful and very strong arms and His feet are decorated with splendid jeweled anklets. Lord Balarama's beauty is enhanced by the earrings touching His cheeks. His face is decorated with tilaka made from musk, and His broad chest is ornamented with a garland of gunja. Balarama's voice is very grave and His arms are very long, touching His thighs The splendor of Lord Balarama's transcendental form eclipses many millions of glistening rising moons, and the slightest scent of His boundless strength is sufficient to destroy many armies of demons. Although He knows the supernatural power of His younger brother, Krishna, still, out of love for Him, He never leaves Krishna alone in the forest even for a moment. Balarama is Sri Krishna's dearest friend and is a great reservoir of the nectar mellows of many kinds of transcendental pastimes. Specific Pastimes of Lord Balarama Balarama slays Dhenukasura Dhenukasura was a powerful demon who had assumed the form of an ass. With his demon friends he was occupying Talavana, one of the twelve forests of Vrindavana. Out of fear of these demons no one could approach Talavana and enjoy the numerous flowers and fruits in the forest. Balarama, induced by His cowherd friends, entered the forest desiring to kill the demons. He began shaking the fruit trees, making a big noise. Dhenuka, furious at the intrusion, attacked Balarama with his rear legs, but Balarama easily picked him up by his legs and whirled him around until he died. As the other demon friends of Dhenuka rushed to attack, Krishna and Balarama picked them up and threw them on trees, killing them. Soon the forest was free of all demons, and it appeared that the bent trees were being directed by Balarama to pay obeisances to Krishna. Balarama kills Pralambasura Once when Krishna and Balarama were playing with the cowherd boys, a demon named Pralamba entered their midst, disguised as a cowherd boy. Understanding the invincible potency of Krishna, he instead decided to abduct Balarama. At the end of the game, as the losing party he was supposed to carry Balarama on his shoulders. Carrying the Lord on his shoulders he ran swiftly, but Balarama realizing the true identity of demon began to make himself heavier and heavier. Unable to bear the weight, the demon assumed his original form which was like a huge dark effulgent cloud, decorated with golden ornaments. Balarama then bought His fist down the head of the demon splitting it into two and causing him to give up his life. Balarama glorified by Krishna As the elder brother of Krishna, Balarama was the object of His love and respect. Once when walking in the forest of Vrindavana, Krishna observed the trees bending down as if paying obeisances. He glorified the lotus feet of Balarama as being the object of devotion even for the demigods. He said that the trees, which were impersonalists in previous life times, witnessing the personal form of Balarama were now praying for His devotion. At other times when Balarama would get tired by playing, He would lie down the lap of one of the cowherd boys and Krishna would personally massage His feet, fan Him and give Him service. Such was the sweet reciprocation of love between Krishna and Balarama. Yamuna devi chastised Once Lord Balarama, Who was at the time living in Dwarka, came back to stay in Vrindavana for two months. At this time He enjoyed pastimes with His gopi friends (who were different from the gopis of Krishna). Enjoying such pastimes on the bank of Yamuna at Rama-ghata, the Lord summoned Yamuna so that He could sport in the waters. When Yamuna devi did not respond. Lord Balarama took up His favorite weapon, His plow, and began to drag Yamuna in a hundred streams. Understanding the position of Balarama, Yamuna devi personally appeared and offered her obeisances to the Lord with many prayers in His glorification. Thus appeased the Lord entered and bathed in the waters of the river. Kauravas chastised Samba, the darling son of Jambavati and Krishna, kidnapped Laksmana the daughter of Duryodhana from the assembly were she was supposed to choose her husband. The furious Kauravas after a prolonged fight, finally arrested Samba by sending in six of their greatest warriors. When the Yadavas heard of this they prepared for battle but Lord Balarama pacified them, preferring to find a peaceful solution. However when He requested the Kauravas to return Samba and Laksmana, the Kauravas responded by insulting Him and the Yadava dynasty. Understanding them to be ignorant in their false prestige, Balarama took His plow and began to drag Hastinapura into the Ganges. The terrified Kauravas now surrendered to the lotus feet of Balarama, begging for His mercy. They immediately returned Samba and Laksmana and had them married ceremoniously with many opulent gifts. Balarama marries Revati In Satya yuga there was a King named Raivata whose daughter Revati was excellent in all respects. Unable to find a match suitable for her, the king took her to the court of Brahma for his advise. After waiting for some time when the king met with Brahma, he was shocked to learn that in the short time he spent in the Brahmaloka, millions of years had already passed on Earth and at the time Dvapara yuga was concluding. However Lord Brahma informed King Raivata that present at this time was Lord Balarama Who was more than qualified to be the husband of Revati. King Raivata returned and approached Balarama to accept Revati as His wife. However Revati belonged to an earlier yuga when people were much larger physically. So Lord Balarama placed His plow on her head until she shrunk to an appropriate size and accepted her as His wife. Balarama and Mahabharata In general Balarama was equally affectionate to both the Pandavas and the Kauravas. He accepted both Duryodhana and Bhima as His disciples in the art of mace-war. As a teacher He appreciated the superior technique of Duryodhana as opposed to the raw strength of Bhima. At the time of Mahabharata, He refused to take sides and instead went on an extended pilgrimage to the holy places. In the battle between Bhima and Duryodhana, He became angry at Bhima for killing Duryodhana by trickery, but was appeased by Sri Krishna. Killing of Romaharshana Towards the end of Dvapara yuga thousands of sages assembled on the banks of Naimyasharana to perform a thousand year yajna in an effort to reverse the onset of Kali yuga. They appointed as their leader Romaharshana, one of the main disciple of Vyasadeva, who was also present when Sukadeva Goswami narrated Srimad Bhagavatam to King Parikshit. When Lord Balarama entered the assembly, understanding Him to be the Supreme Personality of Godhead, all present rose to offer Him respect. However Romaharshana, proud at occupying the position of the leader did not get up. Lord Balarama could understand that even though Romaharshana was a an expert Vedantist, he had not yet realized these teachings. Considering him unqualified to lead the ceremony, Balarama touched him with a blade of grass causing him to die. He then instituted Suta, the son of Romaharshana as the leader of the assembly and continued with His pilgrimage. Mercy of Lord Balarama Lord Balarama exemplifies the service attitude to Krishna. His only mission is to please Krishna by rendering service to Him, whether it is in the creation of the material worlds, maintaining the spiritual world or as His personal paraphernalia. Lord Balarama is the eternal companion of Sri Krishna. He came as Lakshmana with Rama and later as Nityananda Prabhu with Caitanya Mahaprabhu. He is the original spiritual master, and any one desiring to make spiritual progress must first get the mercy of Lord Balarama. All glories to Lord Balarama !! Reference : Srimad Bhagavatam, Tenth Canto. Jhulan Yatra Jhulan yatra is that very special festival where each and everyone present can render personal service to Sri Sri Radha Krishna by swinging them. The Jhulan festival starts on 21st August and goes on till the 26th. It will happen on these days from 6.30pm to 7.30pm. On 26th Sunday, along with Jhulan festival in the afternoon, we celebrate the appearance day of Lord Balaram also. One of the most popular events in the holy town of Vrindavan, India – where Lord Krishna appeared 5,000 years ago – is the celebration of Jhulan Yatra, the Radha-Krishna swing festival. In Sri Vrindavan for five days, in many of the 5000 temples there, the small Utsav-vighraha functional Deities (Vijay-utsav bera) are taken from the altar and placed on an elaborately decorated swing in the temple room. After receiving the traditional arati worship, the Deities are pushed on Their swing. The atmosphere of this festival is especially sweet as everyone has the chance to intimately serve Radha and Krishna by pulling the swing. The same festival is observed in other parts of India too in this sacred month of Shravana. In our ISKCON temples we observe for five days in accordance with Srila Prabhupada's instructions. This is a wonderful ceremonial function of Lord Krishna's pastimes that reflects practically how we are to render service to the Lord for His pleasure. These festivals are not in any way mere rituals, as they all have practical service functionality to invoke loving servitude of the devotees for the Lord. Lord Sri Krishna is the Supreme enjoyer and doesn't have to work hard like us in this world. Everything He does is pleasurable, and He organises many situation in which He can incorporate us, His separated parts and parcels into His loving service which is our natural condition in the spiritual realm. When Sri Krishna had his pastimes in rural Vrindavan with His cowherd friends together they lovingly tended the cows, and wandered in the pastures playing, frolicking, and feasting. Throughout the various seasons they all continuously enjoyed being part of Sri Krishna's pastimes, and rendering loving service to Him as best they could. It is a most pleasing and satisfying festival, with the swings often highly decorated with forest creepers, Jasmine (Malati) that has newly blossomed in the season, and streamers of garlands. Sometimes they use a fine spray of rose water and direct it toward the Divine couple of Radha and Krishna on Their swing. On the last day of the Jhulan, on the Purnima (full moon) this comes Lord Balaram's appearance day festival. Let us participate in this festival and offer our loving devotional service to Sri Krishna and Srimati Radharani.... Read more...

TTC agrees to survey racial background of employees to monitor equity in hiring and promotion
April 2006 - The settlement sets out the following commitments:
Under the Code, every person has the right to be free from racial discrimination and harassment in the social areas of employment, services, goods, facilities, housing accommodation, contracts and membership in trade and vocational associations. You should not be treated differently because of your race or other related grounds, such as your ancestry, ethnicity, religion or place of origin.
Canada, its provinces and territories have strong human rights laws and systems in place to address discrimination. At the same time, we also have a legacy of racism – particularly towards Indigenous persons, but to other groups as well including African, Chinese, Japanese, South Asian, Jewish and Muslim Canadians – a legacy that profoundly permeates our systems and structures to this day, affecting the lives of not only racialized persons, but also all people in Canada.
Relevant policies:
April 2006 - The settlement sets out the following commitments:
July 2013 - In October 2012, the Ontario Human Rights Commission (OHRC) hosted an online survey to learn more about the experiences of both job seekers and employers in dealing with requirements for Canadian experience. The survey was not about statistics – it was about giving people an opportunity to talk about the barriers they faced, and in the case of employers, the reasons for keeping or removing requirements for Canadian experience. We included many of stories and comments we heard in our new Policy on removing the "Canadian experience" barrier. The following sections highlight some of the recurring themes we heard, and some of the more poignant stories of people facing discrimination because they did not have Canadian experience.
Some employers ask people applying for jobs if they have "Canadian experience." That can make it much harder for people new to Canada to find work. Some "regulatory bodies" (such as the professional associations for accountants or doctors) also ask for Canadian experience.
The Ontario Human Rights Commission (OHRC) believes that asking for Canadian experience can result in discrimination. Employers and regulatory bodies should always have to show why Canadian experience is needed.
2005 - All Ontarians have the right to be free from harassment in the workplace or in housing accommodation because of, among other things, race, colour, ancestry, place of origin, ethnic origin, citizenship and creed. While the Ontario Human Rights Code (the "Code") doesn't explicitly prohibit harassment in the areas of services, goods and facilities, contracts or membership in trade and vocational associations, the Commission will treat racial harassment in such situations as a form of discrimination and therefore a breach of the Code.
July 2013 - While the Ontario Human Rights Commission (OHRC) recognizes the significance of all of the barriers newcomers potentially face when trying to access the job market, this policy will focus on "Canadian experience" as an employment or accreditation requirement, and as a practice that raises human rights concerns. The OHRC's position is that a strict requirement for "Canadian experience" is prima facie discrimination (discrimination on its face) and can only be used in very limited circumstances. The onus will be on employers and regulatory bodies to show that a requirement for prior work experience in Canada is a bona fide requirement, based on the legal test this policy sets out.
This submission outlines recent developments for the reporting period June 1, 2011 through May 31, 2012 related to discrimination in employment and the Ontario Human Rights Commission's (the OHRC) mandate. It includes OHRC activities, recent case law and comment regarding relevant ILO Committee observations and direct requests.
Monday July 15, 2013, 10 a.m. to 12 noon. Please join us as we launch our new policy addressing this pressing issue.

Credit Suisse's Return to Work Program a Hit
Credit Suisse observed a high success rate under their return to work program called Real Returns. This is a paid employment program that focuses on training, support and networking for professionals who have been out of work for a long period of time. This particularly benefits women professionals who take a break to raise a child, for example.
There is an assessment process that takes place to select the professionals to join the Real Returns program; out of 130 women applicants, 23 were selected. And a huge number of participants were absorbed by the bank.
"Upon completing the program, over 70 per cent of the participants have accepted full-time offers of employment at the bank, with many of them taking up officer-grade positions," TOI quoted a company statement as saying. The news report also quotes Mickey Doshi, CEO India at Credit Suisse, as saying, "We are committed to building a diverse and inclusive workforce, and Real Returns is a very positive way for us to do this. The program has attracted highly skilled individuals and has provided the bank with access to experienced professionals with proven, transferable skills who may not otherwise have been considered due to their time away from the workplace for various reasons."
The program was initially rolled out in New York and London in 2014, reached Zurich in 2015; in the Asia Pacific region, India was the first country where they rolled out the program. Return to work programs allow time for participants to get back in touch with their professional roots and give them an oft-needed buffer gap to adjust to the new environment. With the help of mentors, this program coordinates with the participants to get back to their feet with the skills that will give them a chance to be employed again.

Posts tagged 'ale'
Maredsous 10 Tripel
Maredsous 10 Tripel is a Belgian Ale in the Abbey style but produced by the Duvel Moorgat Brewery under a naming license from the Maredsous Abbey in Denée, Belgium. As with the Rochefort 8 this beer in one of three in the Maredsous line which consists of the 6% ABV Maredsous 6 Blonde, 8% ABV Maredsous 8 Brune, and this 10% ABV Maredsous 10 Tripel.
Samuel Smith Organically Produced Ale
This organically produced ale (no discerning name given) is one in the line of beers produced by the Samuel Smith brewery. Known for using the same strain of yeast since the 19th century the brewery produces almost all of its brews with a brewing method utilizing a yorkshire square. Given the history and unique method used to create this beer my hopes were high for a distinct taste.
Péché Mortel (Mortal Sin)
Péché Mortel is an imperial coffee stout brewed by the Dieu du Ciel microbrewery and pub in Montréal, Canada starting in 2001. This beer has the highest alcohol content of all their brews at 9.5% which pairs perfectly with the imperial stout characteristics.
Trappist Rochefort 8
Since I've been in the middle of a moving and home renovations I haven't been able to hop back on to the brewing wagon lately. However, for my birthday one of my friends got me an assortment of craft beers. Since it will be a while before I can get back into brewing I figured it would be good to take some time and review some other beers.
Lazy Sunday Candi Wheat (X04)
The idea for this brew presented itself after doing some research into various brewing adjuncts- specifically Candi Sugar. After reading how simple the process is to create this adjunct I decided to drag out a sauce pot and try my hand at inverting some sucrose molecules to make some amber colored candi sugar syrup. Having achieved what appears to be a level of success the question was then raised: On what kind of beer recipe should I use this liquid buffet for yeast? After some Google-fu the answer became crystal clear: a Belgian-style wheat beer.
Honey Bunny Sweet Wheat Update
If you were paying attention to the end of the post about the brewing of the Honey Bunny Sweet Wheat you may have noticed that there was a pretty steep drop in gravity from 1.069 to 1.010. This corresponds to a simliar spike in the final ABV of the beer, and terms of taste the higher alcohol content is absolutely front and center. I don't know at this point if the high fermentation level was from the large amount of DME, a highly attenuative yeast, or from the yeast feasting upon the easily digestible honey sugars but nonetheless there was a higher than expected level of alcohol in the final beer.
Honey Bunny Sweet Wheat (X03)
Not very much to say about this brew. While I'm still planning out the construction of a lautering tun the itch to brew once again kicked in, but I was in the mood to just make something a little less challenging. Therefore, after a little searching around I settled on a honey wheat. While I've never really been a fan of wheat beers up to this point with the inevitable heat of summer bearing down upon the region I figured now would be as good a time as any to attempt expanded horizons again.

It's hard to reconcile. I won't lie. It's tough. Definitely one of those things you really have to want more than anything. People like to call it "starting over" but it isn't. You already have a history. It doesn't magically go away just because you decide you want to change things and save your relationship.
Starting over really means you have to learn to know each other again, while working through all of the hurt and damage that's been done. You can't just forget it and move on. It also needs to be dealt with.
Reconciliation means you are committed enough and love that person enough to rip open all of the wounds, and let them bleed while you work on healing them together. It can't be done alone, and it can't be put behind you and left to fester and infect your future.
You work on healing while you work on learning who this person really is you married. Finding the things that you loved enough to marry them for in the first place. Remembering why. That's not easy to do when you know this person intimately already. It is hard to put aside what you think you already know, and to look at them as a new person you have never met before, yet you love them and are committed to them.
It is a tough road, but I think it is one that is so worth walking, if you know at the end of it there will be a man or woman you love, and a renewed relationship waiting for you. Don't give up. It's not easy, but the rewards are worth more than gold.

Luis Gutierrez Retiring To Create "American Cuba" In Puerto Rico
Luis Gutierrez is retiring from Congress but not from politics. He's got his sights on Puerto Rico and becoming the next Fidel Castro, a demanding governor of the parasitic
- 774Shares
There's an old saying that when you kill a fly two more come to his funeral and in this case, the surprise and welcome departure of Luis Gutierrez from Congress, we must hope it doesn't also hold true for cockroaches. He's retiring, but he's endorsing someone else for his seat who may well be just as bad, Jesus [Chuy] Garcia.
Gutierrez makes his announcement at a time when there is increasing public awareness of scandalous misappropriation of government funds by Congressmen to cover for sexual and other harassment and indiscretions, including the on the job drunkenness of his close separatist Mecha ally, Rep Raul Grijalva (D-AZ). Is Gutierrez attempting to get out of harm's way while the getting's good?
The supposed reason for his departure is to help rebuild Puerto Rico in the wake of two hurricanes. Perhaps he sees, as all Democrats before him in that territory have, a Clinton-like opportunity to great wealth, as there was in hijacking and funneling relief money in Haiti.
As a US territory the money pipeline will continue from the US Treasury to the Puerto Rico money pit. Gutierrez, in relocating to Puerto Rico, not only escapes the harsh Illinois winters, but gives himself an opportunity to, if he plays his race cards right, become the new Fidel Castro in a few years.
Fundamental transformation of the United States is conducted on a state or territory level, as it has been done in California. Gutierrez may have gotten that call from George Soros he's been waiting for.
In spouting his phony humanitarian garbage as his excuse, Gutierrez said, "I cannot be here in the 4th congressional district and be rebuilding the home of my mom and my dad, the place that I love so much — and I'm gonna work really hard until she's completely built to 21st century standards, but I can't do them both."
Anyone in that district, if there are any Americans remaining, should know he hasn't represented them anyway. He's a skin color and race-based legislator and that will never change. He's going to attempt to gain control of Puerto Rico, where his true constituency lies and where he can create a communist siphon on the American people. Maybe he'll encourage a little illegal immigration through the filter of Puerto Rico as well, providing voters to key states where Democrats need a boost.
Humanitarianism is a disguise for their communist attacks on our freedoms, in the interest of "fairness and equality." It's not fair that the rest of America has better roads and electricity than Puerto Rico. We'll be sending our money down there in record amounts if this clown is able to worm his way into power. And he'll have the necessary leftist backing to make sure that happens.

Thanks so much for submitting a report. It has been emailed to the Rum Captain and will be actioned shortly.
Have you found an online vendor selling Avua Jequitibá Rosa?

Thank-you for your submission. It will appear on the site once verified.
Sort by: Popularity | Date | Rating
Avua is one of my favorite cachaça brands, and to me, his falls right in the middle of their lineup - below the Amburana and Tapinhoa, but above the Oak and Prata.
If I liked cachaça more I'd rate this a lot higher as it is one of the better cachacas out there, but that's not my favorite style.
Definitely a good cachaça, however, and worth it if you like the style.
There is a subtle floralflavor to it all, smoother than many and mellow.
Despite being aged for up to two years in Jequitiba Rosa wooden casks, this one is clear colored and tastes like it has barely any aging. After reading descriptions from their website on this one months ago, I did not think that I would like it. Oh well, there goes another $56. It is simply not worth the extra money over their much cheaper Prata. It cannot even compare with their Amburana, which is in a class all by itself. Their Tapinhoa tastes like a premium tequila anejo and not like a rum at all.
With it's pink label, it is obviously marketed towards women, but the taste is anything but feminine. The only thing that mixes with it is mango nectar. I have lowered my initial rating of 6 down to a 5 and I will never buy this one again. This is clearly the worst from Avua, but I give them credit for trying.

Builder versus Housing Company?
Interesting. In our opinion if you want exceptional quality in your new home you need to carefully choose a builder, not a housing company who will give you any builder. Problem is housing companies pay their builders on a m2 rate, so the faster they can 'smash up' your dream home the more money they can make. These companies and their builders are all about 'quantity' and that's when you get 'quality' going out the window. At Keystone Construction we pride our selves on quality, we will not rush a job to get it done quickly, we will take the time it's takes to achieve perfection on your new home.

Though the title in someway may sound complicated, I'm rather surprised that no android music player has implemented such a simple feature.
This is to trigger the start of the next track at a user defined -db level, WITHOUT killing the track that is still fading off underneath.
This means with the user defined -db level, the next track will always come in whether the previous track is a slow fade or a rapid cold ending as the software will detect the end of the track by the nominated -db level.
Just to confirm, would please love to see this as a DSP for Foobar's mobile android edition.

Call to fix interoperability of office suites
Joinup - Last week Monday, five European public administrations published a new call for tender, to further improve interoperability between free and open source office suites and the ubiquitous proprietary alternative. This is the second time that the German cities of Munich, Leipzig and Jena, the Swiss Federal Court and the Swiss Federal IT Steering Unit have issued such a call. ICT specialists have until 30 April to submit proposals.
The office suites' interoperability project is again managed by the OSB Alliance, a trade group representing open source service providers from Austria, Germany and Switzerland.
According the alliance's press release, one of the main features to be developed concerns change tracking between open source and proprietary office suites. The public administrations issuing the call want to improve the specification of change tracking, and make this part of the Open Document Format ISO standard.

[What you need to know to start the day: Get New York Today in your inbox.]
Documents proved there were cover-ups: The industry knew about the dangers, but hid facts from consumers, and millions of pages described false advertising and suppressed scientific research. The details, once surfaced, not only revealed wrongdoing but changed public perception.
Lawsuits against cigarette manufacturers exposed crucial confidential records and completely transformed the tobacco industry.
Now, families of the victims from the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School hope to replicate the tactic: using litigation as a means to pry open the gun industry, employing the discovery process to unearth internal communications and examine the practices behind marketing and selling powerful firearms like the one used in the attack.
"We can find out what the Remington defendants have tried every step of the way to block in discovery," said David Wheeler, whose 6-year-old son, Ben, died at Sandy Hook, about the gun maker that was among the companies named in the lawsuit.
Joshua D. Koskoff, a lawyer for the families, described the discovery stage as "really the most important thing we've been waiting to do."
The ruling last month — allowing the families to maneuver around the vast federal protections shielding the gun industry from some lawsuits — arrived more than six years after the gunman stormed into the elementary school in Newtown, Conn., killing 26 people, including 20 first graders.
Gun companies are protected from most legal action when their weapons are used to commit a crime, as stipulated by Congress in 2005. The families tested a novel strategy to pierce those protections by focusing on the marketing for the AR-15-style Bushmaster used by the gunman in the attack.
In the lawsuit, the families assert that the weapon used in the massacre was marketed in a way — with militaristic and hypermasculine slogans — that specifically reached out to troubled young men like the one who carried out the attack.
The families' aim, according to past legal filings, is to compel the companies to turn over troves of documents in hope that the records will bolster the case, like those discussing strategies for branding and promoting the weapon, including product placements in video games and marketing it as a good gift for family members.
Financial documents filed by Remington with the Securities and Exchange Commission show that increasing sales of the Bushmaster AR-style rifles was one of the company's highest priorities in 2009. That year, a Remington executive's bonus was tied to implementing a plan for the company to hit specific sales targets for the Bushmaster weapon like the one legally purchased by the gunman's mother. The executive exceeded the company's target for 2009.
The recent court decision offered a moment of triumph for the Newtown families, who still face new struggles and daily reminders of their loss. Newtown was shaken again by the recent suicide of Jeremy Richman, whose 6-year-old daughter, Avielle, was among the Sandy Hook victims.
It remains unknown exactly what records will be excavated in the Sandy Hook case, but hundreds of miles away in Florida, Fred Guttenberg took notice.
He is pursuing his own legal action, in his case against the parent company of Smith & Wesson, which made the weapon used in the attack at the Parkland, Fla., high school where his 14-year-old daughter, Jaime, was killed.
The development in Connecticut has emboldened him in his own effort.
"They're concerned and they should be concerned," Mr. Guttenberg, whose daughter was one of 17 people killed at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, said of the gun industry.
By bringing a lawsuit against the companies that manufactured and sold the weapon used by the gunman, legal experts said, the families were pursuing a familiar strategy that had led to the revelation in other industries — the tobacco business, car manufacturers and pharmaceutical companies — of dishonest practices and a disregard for the well-being of customers and the public.
"There are just so many product liability cases that have unfolded in similar ways," said Carl Tobias, a law professor at the University of Richmond. "They dug and dug and dug and found out what actually happened," he added. "Discovery is the tool."
Remington and the other companies named in the lawsuit, along with others in the gun industry, have mounted a vigorous defense.
They counter that federal law shields the companies from these kinds of claims when their weapons are used in a crime. Remington has asked the state court to delay any ruling in anticipation of an expected appeal to the United States Supreme Court.
Lawyers for the gun companies did not respond to requests for comment.
The discovery process is a portion of the case where lawyers amass evidence, drawing from depositions with the sworn testimony of executives, experts and others, written questionnaires submitted to the other side and documents that the opposing side is compelled to turn over.
The volume of lawsuits against tobacco companies prompted the release of documents — from the discovery process during suits as well as disclosures from corporate whistle-blowers — that showed the companies had known far more than they had publicly acknowledged about the harmful effects of their products and the addictive nature of nicotine. The information led to a shift in society's impressions of tobacco.
Now, large volumes of documents about cigarette companies are available online; one archive maintained by the University of California San Francisco has 90,111,026 pages, much of it coming from lawsuits.
"It stripped away all credibility of anything the industry might say," said Matthew L. Myers, the president of the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids and a leading figure in the litigation against tobacco companies.
But just as other plaintiffs have drawn lessons from tobacco litigation, so have other industries. Mr. Myers said it was very likely that the gun companies had studied the tobacco companies' shortcomings.
"What became clear from the tobacco industry documents: There was a brazenness in believing they could keep these documents from the public eye," Mr. Myers said. "They wrote down things that careful people would not write down."
The Sandy Hook gun lawsuit has attracted intense interest because, unlike other legal battles over weapons, it has not been clobbered by the protections enshrined in federal law.
In a 4-to-3 ruling, the Connecticut Supreme Court agreed with a lower court judge's decision to dismiss most of the families' claims, yet also found that federal law did not prevent the families from bringing a lawsuit based on wrongful marketing claims under Connecticut state law.
The National Shooting Sports Foundation, a trade association representing the firearm industry, said the ruling was "at odds with all other state and federal appellate courts that have interpreted the scope" of the federal protections.
Scott Wilson, president of the Connecticut Citizens Defense League, a Second Amendment rights organization, criticized the ruling. "I think it's a miscarriage of justice," he said. He also disputed the depiction of the semiautomatic rifle as a combat weapon too dangerous or complicated for civilians.
But advocates of gun control and others welcomed the ruling as an indication that the federal protections were not impenetrable.
"Any industry needs robust oversight," said Alla Lefkowitz, the deputy director of affirmative litigation at Everytown for Gun Safety, an organization that advocates stricter gun measures. "I'm not aware of any other industry that has this kind of protection and I think it's particularly inappropriate for any kind of industry to have this kind of protection."
The victory is not clear cut. The case has languished for years in court; legal experts believe it is still years from being resolved, and could likely return to the State Supreme Court and even advance to the United States Supreme Court.
Still, Mr. Guttenberg was forward-looking. "We're not going to continue being victims," he said. "We're going to fight. We're going to get this somehow or another fixed."
