Sriman Gaurangasundarjiu on the altar in San Jose

On Rasapurnima day in the year 2000, the divine deity form of Sriman Gaurangasundar (Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu) who had already been in California many years, and was being worshiped at the Soquel Seva Ashram, was installed in what Srila Govinda Maharaj called “His own home” on St. James St. in San Jose. Srimati Kumkum Didi made all the arrangements for purchasing and remodeling the beautiful Victorian house to fulfill Srila Govinda Maharaj’s desire that there would be a temple in San Jose. These twelve years she has maintained the Ashram and the Lord’s daily worship with the dedicated help of many gentle and honorable Vaishnavas.

Here are some photographs from the lovely evening program held to commemorate and celebrate the fortunate day when Sriman Gaurangasundar arrived at the temple for the first time. That day He arrived on a palenquin in a grand parade from 17th St. with jubilant devotees chanting the Holy Name in sankirtan. Srila Govinda Maharaj personally oversaw every detail of the arrangements for the altar, the offerings, and altogether every aspect of the Lord’s worship.

Srila Janardan Maharaj in China

During the month of October 2012, Srila Janardan Maharaj travelled to China to visit with Yudhamnayu Prabhu Seva Vikram and the Chinese devotees. Accompanied by Satrughna Prabhu (Shuggie), they went to Chongqing and Shenzhen, where they were warmly greeted by the Chinese devotees. Everyone was extremely happy to have Srila Janardan Maharaj’s association. Here are some pictures from that tour.

Report on Srila B.P. Janardan Maharaj’s Trip to Portland, Oregon

Posted by Rama Chandra Das on Sunday, September 16th, 2012 in 2012 Photo Gallery | Comments (0)

My dandavat pranams to all the devotees who participated and helped with the Oregon programs. I would like to especially thank Srila B.P. Janardan Maharaj who came and blessed us with his holy association and sweet mercy. He gave so much nourishment to the devotees here in Oregon, the feedback was overflowing with joy. I also would like to thank Vidura Krsna Prabhu, Deva Priya Didi, Saki Charan Prabhu, Narayana Prabhu and Ratan Krsna Prabhu. Without their help this program would have been impossible. I am hoping for many more programs like this one in the future and invite all the devotees to join. Praying for the mercy of all the devotees and hoping to get there association soon.

An aspiring servitor,
Rama Chandra Das

Editor’s note: Vidura Krishna Prabhu talked about the trip on Tuesday evening and went on to give a very nice class about embracing the Lord’s guardianship and engaging in devotional service. Listen to lecture…

The weekend-long festival last month in Salt Lake City was wonderful. Here are some more pictures. On Friday there was a very nice public program in the park near the temple. Although the park was not so full of people, several guests came and were very much inspired and enlivened to hear from Srila B.P. Janardan Maharaj and Srila B.K. Ashram Maharaj, and to honor prasadam with all the devotees. Saturday morning a large group gathered in the mountains for an invigorating hike. It was a great way to connect with old and new friends alike. Here are some pictures from those two outings. Part 2 of my photo gallery will be posted next weekend.

Srila Sridhar Maharaj ~ The Guardian of Devotion

Posted by Yudhamanyu Das Seva Vikram on Wednesday, July 18th, 2012 in 2012 Photo Gallery | Comments (0)

His Divine Grace Om Vishnupad Srila Bhakti Rakshak Sridhar Dev-Goswami Maharaj’s Holy Disappearance Day, this year in 2012, gives us all another opportunity to render even more intense service to the devotees, Deities, and the Mission of the Sri Chaitanya Saraswat Math. Through Srila Bhakti Sundar Govinda Dev-Goswami Maharaj and Srila A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Maharaj Prabhupad, we heard about the super high position Srila Guru Maharaj held in the Gaudiya Vaishnava Sampradaya. Therefore, we can try our best to say or write something in glorification of Srila Guru Maharaj and to do whatever other service that comes our way. It is a special day and as Srila Guru Maharaj said, “We can thank our lucky stars” that in this lifetime, we got such a divine connection with the spiritual realm.

Please join us to honor Srila Sridhar Maharaj on his Holy Disappearance Day
Thursday July 19th at 6pm in Santa Cruz and 5:30 pm in San Jose

Saturday and Sunday, June 23-24

The last two days of camp were a blast! On Saturday we had a bake sale, learned the history of Sri Chaitanya Saraswat Math, made puppets, and ended the day with a bonfire at the beach. Srila Bhakti Pavan Janardan Maharaj and Sripad Parvat Maharaj came to the bonfire and led everyone in chanting the Hare Krishna mahamantra.

Sunday we honored all the children at an awards ceremony during the Sunday Feast. Srila Janardan Maharaj gave each camper an award for their special skills and contributions to the camp. After the feast we headed to the archery range to shoot bows and arrows…a wonderful way to end another wonderful kids camp at the Soquel Seva Ashram.

Anu Krishna Devi Dasi’s Initiation in San Jose

Posted by Kumkum Devi Dasi on Thursday, July 12th, 2012 in 2012 Photo Gallery | Comments (0)

All glories to Sri Guru and Sri Gauranga!

Dandabat pranam to the feet of all the vaisnavas,

Young Allie got the fortune of meeting Srimati Govinda Nandini several months ago. She was very attracted to Govinda Nandini’s enthusiastic preaching and common-sense friendship, and frequently came to the temple to talk with her and attend our programs. When Govinda Nandini moved to Salt Lake City, Allie found that she seriously missed the association and decided to attend whenever she could and also to increase her service connection. Her natural, sincere inquiries became vital to her happiness and she found herself seeking how to extend Krishna consciousness to friends and acquaintances.

Around the first of June, she wrote to Srila Bhakti Nirmal Acharya Maharaj, asking for initiation, and he accepted her as his disciple. Because of his travel, it took a while to decide on a date for the ceremony. He chanted on beads which were shipped to our temple in San Jose, and all worked out for a connection by Skype on the evening of July 4th. By the great assistance of Nimai Chandra Prabhu, Srila Acharyadev spoke to her about the significance of this change in her fortune and instructed her how to chant on her beads. He said that, on the order of Srila Govinda Maharaj, he is giving this connection to her.

Srila Acharya Maharaj said that to make quick progress, know the nama-aparadha and avoid them; when devotees wonder why they are not experiencing taste, this is what they must consider. He also was very re-assuring that we can get devotion if we want it. He gave the example of a child who is crying when his mother and father leave him and becomes happy when they give him a chocolate bar, although he could get anything from his loving parents. We mustn’t be satisfied to get material happiness from our Lord. If we pray for pure devotion, we will get it. Sri Ramananda prayed for pure devotion and Krishna gave it to him, while his brother prayed for material things and he was awarded salary, comforts, etc.

He finally told her to contact him any time, with any question; saying she is now his daughter. He said to be satisfied only with talks of Krishna, service to Krishna, and eating only Krishna prasad.

Srimati Anu Krishna Devi Dasi ki jaya!

In service,
Kumkum

Photos of Vidura Krishna Prabhu’s Class on The Golden Volcano of Divine Love

Posted by Sushila Devi Dasi on Wednesday, June 13th, 2012 in 2012 Photo Gallery | Comments (0)

The last few months Vidura Krishna Prabhu has been giving class on Monday evenings at the Soquel Seva Ashram. After several weeks studying the six limbs of surrender in Sri Sri Prapanna Jivanamritam and the ten offenses to the Holy Name, the class read Srila Sridhar Maharaj’s commentary on Sri Sikshastakam in The Golden Volcano of Divine Love. Sri Sikshastakam are eight verses composed by Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. Every week the class reads about one of the verses. Vidura’s practical conclusion of this class on the last verse of Sri Sikshastakam was that we all need association with devotees in order to make progress in Krishna Consciousness. The following is Srila Sridhar Maharaj’s final comment on the last verse of Sri Sikshastakam in The Golden Volcano of Divine Love:

‘sadhu sanga, sadhu sanga,’—sarva shastre kaya
lava-matra sadhu sange sarva-siddhi haya

“The conclusion has been given in the scriptures that all perfection can be attained by the help of the saints. Good association is our greatest wealth in reaching the supreme goal.”

In Srimad Bhagavad Gita – The Hidden Treasure of the Sweet Absolute it is stated:

patram puspam phalam toyam – yo me bhaktya prayacchati
tad aham bhakty-upahrtam – asnami prayatatmanah
Bhagavad Gita 9:26

“If one offers Me with devotion a leaf, flower, fruit or water, I affectionately accept that offering of the clean hearted devotee.”

Jatindra Mohan Prabhu was inspired to capture the beauty around the Ashram and offers the following photos for the pleasure of Their Lordships and the devotees.

Rejuvenation Festival in Santa Cruz

Posted by Sushila Devi Dasi on Wednesday, May 30th, 2012 in 2012 Photo Gallery, Events | Comments (0)

May 19-20, 2012

Devotees from the Sri Chaitanya Saraswat Seva Ashram attended the second annual Rejuvenation Festival in Santa Cruz’s San Lorenzo Park. Many friends and guests visited our lovely booth and were very happy to talk with the devotees. We met many fortunate souls who have already had a connection with Srila Govinda Maharaj or Srila Prabhupad. Bilwa Mangal Prabhu arranged for the booth and Sripad Parvat Maharaj, Vaidehi Didi, Dinabandhu Prabhu, Ratan Krishna Prabhu, Nevine Krishna Prabhu, Vidura Krishna Prabhu, Ananta Rupa Prabhu, Lila Shakti Didi, and Premanidhi Prabhu, all helped to make the program successful.

We hope that everyone who met us at the festival will make the endeavor to come visit the Seva Ashram for the Sunday Feast. Please don’t hesitate. If you can do something wonderful right away, why put it off?

The following is an excerpt from The Search for Sri Krishna: Reality the Beautiful by Srila B.R. Sridhar Dev-Goswami Maharaj. You can read a much longer excerpt on the main international website of Sri Chaitanya Saraswat Math: click here.

pravistah karna-randhrena svanam bhava-saroruham
dhunoti samalam krsnah salilasya yatha sarat
(Srimad Bhagavatam: 2.8.5)

“When Krishna enters the heart through the ear, He captures the lotus of the heart and then gradually makes all the dirt in the heart disappear. Just as when the autumn season comes, all the water everywhere becomes pure, so also, when Krishna enters our hearts, all the impurities within will gradually vanish, and only Krishna will remain forever.
