Sri Sri Radha Govinda


Recently, in order to secure much needed funding for the Dublin centre, we had a fundraiser in Govinda's 3 on Merrion Row. The highlight of this event was the visit of Their Lordships Sri Sri Radha Govinda from Govindadwipa, County Fermanagh.

Their Lordships were also joined by His Holiness Bhaktimarga Swami. The programme consisted of kirtan, a talk by Maharaja, reports on Rathayatra and ISKCON Dublin Temple progress and an amazing prasadam feast.

During the fundraiser some extra-special contributions were made by the following devotees whom we are all very grateful to. Please thank them personally if you see them!

Janmasthami : 808 euro
Gaura Nitai : 750 euro 
Nidhish : 721 euro
Medhavi : 551 euro
Praghosa : 502 euro
Shyamasundara Bhagavan : 500 stg.
Jayanta : 400 euro

I bet that you will post this
and when you do you will have a 1000 answers as to why you accept devotees from such diverse backgrounds who are eager to serve Lord Krishna. Iskcon allows all sorts of persons to visit their temples, and anyone who follows in the footsteps of Srila Prabhupada are encouraged and facilitated with suitable and true descriptions trying to promote their character, this is true, because i have heard it with my own ears. You guys have a clear idea how wonderful that makes you look in the eyes of others.

To come to the point. I have just spoken to an original Prabhupada disciple and god brother, who has like me served Srila Prabhupada for over 30 years and he was asked to encourage others in their Krishna Consciousness in one of your Irish temples by temple authorities. He accepted and now will be visiting regularly. Thats just completely wonderful and vaisnava like.

So please find solice in what Srila Prabhupada thought clearly represented by those who endeavour to serve him. I am sure that nothing has changed and if you really think about it, Srila Prbhupada will most certainly bless you. Hopefully this will make clear to you that you are in fact serving and glorifying a pure devotee. Whatever negative is being said about Iskon is totally untrue, Prabhupada's Iskcon is needed for our spiritual life so celebrate, because Krishna is watching :-)
