Guru, Swami and 40-year Monk
Hridayananda Das Goswami (Dr. Howard J. Resnick, Ph.D.) is one of
the most senior and respected spiritual leaders of the
International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON). He is
the first westerner to translate the sacred Bhagavata Purana from
Sanskrit into English and include authorized commentary.
In 1996, he received his Ph.D. in Sanskrit and Indian Studies from
Harvard University and began teaching at the Graduate Theological
Union in Berkeley, California. He has also served as a visiting
scholar at UCLA, taught at the University of Florida, and lectured
at hundreds of universities around the world. Harvard Press,
University of California Press, and Columbia University Press have
all published his articles.
Eager to reach a much wider audience, he has just completed his
first major novel, and is already busy at work on a creative
trilogy, based on the central story of the Mahabharata.
March 27 (Saturday) - Festival of Lord Ram - 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm
Free Admission !
The Supreme Personality of Godhead incarnated Himself as Lord Sri
Ram, appearing as usual, to establish the principles of religion
and annihilate the disturbing elements of the world. Lord Ram is
the ideal king for maintaining and protecting the highest culture
of humanity and is specifically the protector of the cows and the
brahmana (spiritual) teachers. Thus He enhances the prosperity of
the whole world. We'll have a grand festival with drama, dancers,
musicians, a special performance by Fire Dancer Troupe

Quote of the Month
Bhagavad-gita As It Is - by A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada
“… by eating sanctified foodstuffs one's very existence becomes
purified; by the purification of existence finer tissues in the
memory become sanctified, and when memory is sanctified one can
think of the path liberation, and all these combined together lead
to Krishna consciousness the great necessity of present-day society.”
