About 20 feet apart should be suffice. I.M.O. <br /><br />The trees are very much needed so the devotees can walk and do more and more japa and less and less prajalpa (useless idle talk)...<br /><br />A nice cool walk around the complete property would be totally wonderful and great fully appreciated by every one. <br /><br />And when more land is available then we could arrange for more and more ten foot wide and cool walkways....<br /><br />I will try to figure out who is now a days and who I should write to but if anyone hears of such an idea then please speak up for the benefit of all..<br /><br />We all need such a round the dham walking trail..for both spiritual and mental healthkennethphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05318191688253404845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5274651702732174234.post-57958024895347886752009-12-23T14:46:41.428-08:002009-12-23T14:46:41.428-08:00I just read about the Kadamba trees being cut down...I just read about the Kadamba trees being cut down for a greater cause..<br /><br />Actually Kadamba trees are very easily grown and they grow ultra, ultra quick. Maybe ten foot or more a year and they spread out nicely to give comfort to all especially during the hot season. <br /><br />Hopefully the Agri Horti management can plant a New Kadamba Garden some where in a very big way ( at least several acres or more) because of this is not only inexpensive but it's flood tolerance is also great bonus. <br /><br />This is a wonderful cooling shade tree that could easily be planted this coming year in any area which could be utilized as a nice place to walk and do Japa and this tree could be utilized by the Cows of Sree Dham Mayapur, so they too can enjoy the cooling effect of its very broad leaves.kennethphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05318191688253404845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5274651702732174234.post-73689731854917494272009-12-13T04:25:08.441-08:002009-12-13T04:25:08.441-08:00hm... love this post )hm... love this post )Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5274651702732174234.post-26689974562511143482009-12-12T11:08:37.466-08:002009-12-12T11:08:37.466-08:00I should notify my pal about it.I should notify my pal about it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5274651702732174234.post-44130944727643179242009-10-16T01:47:03.789-07:002009-10-16T01:47:03.789-07:00Lately we have been receiving some opinions, 2 poi...Lately we have been receiving some opinions, 2 points are particularity prominent:<br />- the distance between 2 sites isn't great:<br />- the devotees funding the project are getting old and may go soon, then who will build?<br /><br />Well,<br />The "new site" for the Temple is over 1 kilometer away from the real site. This isn't close. <br />More than that - it is in a different island (Rudra-dvip) - a territory meant to accommodate different variety of transcendental mood and have different purpose and flavor. <br />This is important consideration, and not our's to make - Srila Prabhupada had already decided where this Temple should be built (see the article above) - we should simply stick to His opinion & decision and not manufacture our own to suite our own desires.<br /><br />If some senior devotees are feeling insecure about their old age - what to do? They should of worried about it earlier, they knew old age will come. Personal insecurity is not an excuse to mess around with acharya's predictions and Srila Prabhupada's direct instructions.<br /><br />It is strange assumption that there is not (and will not be) any other capable devotees who could get this work done.... This temple isn't one man's task, but for all of us to accomplish - when we realize this and when the right mood and understanding arrives among devotees - this Temple will manifest as a fruit of our love and cooperation. <br />Lord Chaitanya will not let this happen any other way. And longer we take to ripe, yes more senior devotees will leave their bodies.<br />So, sooner ISKCON arrives at the clear understanding & realization of real cooperation among devotees - sooner the Temple of Understanding will manifest.Padmalocan Das (ACBSP-1971)https://www.blogger.com/profile/04810907399823455830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5274651702732174234.post-15418904006045239222009-10-13T08:09:22.231-07:002009-10-13T08:09:22.231-07:00Just visited the the tovp website.

Some friends of mine who recently visited India gave me the news only this April. I have been very busy since leaving Vrindavan. I know too many friends by the name of Krishna das. When they said he was the Russian boy, I already thought it could be him. But now, looking at this site, with his picture, I am suddenly taken aback with grief and separation. Although he was many years younger than myself, he was always very close to me and his gang of friends from Vrindavan Gurukul where he grew up for some time. He would sweetly call me as "Gopal Krishna Prabuji" since I was a gurukula teacher. He is such as a talented young vaisnava, full of spirit and vigor. He loved making movies and even took many lesson from my cousin Govinda Das from the Philippines. I'll surely miss him. We had plans of making it big one day in hollywood and produce films like mahabharat and ramayan and so many stories form the vedas. I'm so sorry that I won't be able to see him again. All that remain are memories of such a wonderful and talented person who I knew was a real and trustworthy friend and ally! To you dear KD! May you glance over us, who are still down here. You are fortunate to have passed in the lap of Srimati Ganga devi. May she usher you to the Lotus feet of Our Lordships Sri Sri Radha Madhavaji! To mataji and Prabhu, although we've only met twice, I understand your pain and grievances. But I know also that you like all great vaisnav parents, understand that our Dearest Sri Radha MAdhav have better plans for him which is why he has left us earlier! My dandavats to my dearest Friend Krishna Das. you are truly a servant of the Lord!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
