New Website on Natural Healing: “Cures That Work”

Gunagrahi Das Goswami

Gunagrahi Das Gowsami has made the following announcement: 

Dear fellow Vaishnavas,

Throughout the years we have all sought natural cures for many of the illnesses we have had. In doing so, at times we have met with great difficulty trying to decipher which of the cures would actually be effective, often spending an undue amount of time in research or experimentation, even failing in the end. With the blessings of HH Prahladananda Swami, ISKCON’s Minister of Health, we are beginning a website called “Cures That Work.” It will consist of personal testimonials from devotees who have been successful in treating their illnesses or others’ effectively with natural remedies. If you or an acquaintance from any walk of life would like to submit an account, we encourage you to do so. Please include as many details as possible. Upon acceptance, your submission will be posted on the site as soon as we are up and running, which we hope will be by the end of January. The testimonials should be in English and include your name and also permission for further contact if you are agreeable to being reached by those who seek more information.

After this beginning phase gets established, we are considering expanding the website to provide additional resources, so we welcome any ideas you might have. Bhagavan das (GdG) is our project manager, and he will be receiving all testimonials and suggestions.

American ISKCON Devotee's Death in Goa Sparks Facebook Campaign

Friends of Caitanya Lila Holt, 30-year-old US national, who died after allegedly choking on mud in a paddy field last week, have started an online campaign on the social media seeking justice for the former US soldier.

The #JusticeforCaitanya campaign started on Facebook on Thursday, alleges that Caitanya, a member of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (Iskcon) in the US was "murdered by a lynch mob and the police in Goa. We seek Justice!"

As part of the campaign, a letter has been sent to Goa's lawmakers questioning the circumstances in which Holt was killed, insisting on the lynching theory.

"He was a United States soldier in US Air Force. He was a lifetime member of Iskcon and a devotee of Lord Krishna. We demand justice. We will not stop till you investigate his murder and arrest the people responsible," a letter addressed to Goa's legislators said.

Ahmedabad Holds 5-Day Padayatra for ISKCON’s 50th

Between March 2014 and the end of 2016 – ISKCON’s 50th anniversary year – the Padayatra Worldwide Ministry is aiming to hold 50 padayatras, a kind of journey on foot accompanied by kirtan.

The first one in 2016 was a five-day affair held in the Indian state of Gujarat. Between January 15th and 19th, devotees walked from the ISKCON temple in Ahmedabad to Dakor, a Vaishnava pilgrimage site known for its grand temple of Ranchod Rai (a form of Lord Krishna).

The walk was organized under the guidance of ISKCON Ahmedabad temple president Jashomatinandana Das and Padayatra Minister Lokanath Swami, who organized ISKCON’s first Padayatra in India in 1976 and since then has seen Padayatras held in over 100 countries. iskconnews.org/ahmedabad-holds-5-day-padayatra-for-iskcons-50th,5358/

Radha Krishna Camp in Brazil: More Than a Retreat

Considering the major part of the list of things to bring - mat, repellent, water bottle, flashlight - it may seem like a holiday camp like any other. However, it does not take too long until the recommended items reveal that it is a different kind of camp. The list shows: tilaka, japa-mala, devotional clothes. After all, as one can read in the promotional poster, it is “more than an retreat”. Indeed: it not a simple retreat, but a spiritual retreat, and unique to young vaishnavas.

It was in Nova Gokula, Pindamonhangaba, Brazil, that was held the second edition of Radha Krishna Camp (RKC).iskconnews.org/brazil-radha-krishna-camp-more-than-a-retreat,5359/

We are especially following Prabhupada.  Srila Prabhupada exposed material life as a defeat.  People think they will obtain happiness by sense gratification, but in the end, they are only frustrated.  Prabhupada taught this repeatedly because the struggle for happiness is so pervasive among the people of the world.  Although most people concentrate on money-making as their goal, Prabhupada instructs them, “No, that cannot make you happy.”  He also tells us not to seek liberation from material life.http://iskconnews.org/iskcon-50-meditations-february-1-2016,5355/
