First live class over the Internet from Kolkata to the West
With the arrival of faster Internet access at our Dum Dum Park Temple, Sripad Bhakti Sudhir Goswami Maharaj tests the technology for live discourses from India. In coordination with Sripad Bhuvana Mohan Prabhu in Brazil, Sripad Goswami Maharaj delivered a class from our Temple in Kolkata to our Ashram in Sao Paulo. During the class, Sripad Goswami Maharaj mentions:
"Someone might be bewildered and think, 'Why are the sadhus using all this technology?' That also came in the time of Srila Saraswati Thakur, and his response was very surprising, original and instructive. He said, 'Actually, the latest technology should only be allowed to be used by sadhus, those who are Krishna conscious, because only they have a legitimate right to use it because they are conveying something substantial.' So we aspire to that, and we think that he may be blessing us with this attempt now....
"Srila Saraswati Thakur, we know that he would be pleased with this sort of transaction. He told that the printing press was the brihat mrdanga. We know a mrdanga, you can hear it for a block, a few blocks, but he said the printing press was the brihat mrdanga. But if that is the brihat mrdanga, then how shall we conceive of the Internet? As the maha-maha brihat mrdanga. Now we are beating that drum."
Praphulla Krishna Prabhu of Brazil was with Sripad Goswami Maharaj in Kolkata, and he introduces this lively, topical class.

Our illustrious Srila Gurudev. Prabhu Srutasrava gives a morning class at our Dum Dum Park Temple, Kolkata, last Sunday, Srila Rupa Goswami's disappearance day.
"Our appreciation for Krishna consciousness is our Krishna consciousness.... Krishna consciousness is something to us to the degree we appreciate it."
And:
"Srila Gurudev was explaining this morning a very, very important point for all of us: our approach to Krishna consciousness is not like government legislation, not like the rules of the government. And he said right then: although his Guru Maharaj was extremely strict, he is actually equally as strict, but we have to voluntarily give ourselves to that. He doesn't impose it on us. And that is based on love."

Sri Krishna Janmastami. This morning's informal discourse by Srila Bhakti Sundar Govinda Dev-Goswami Maharaj at our Dum Dum Park Temple, Kolkata. Later in the day His Divine Grace did indeed accept the invitation mentioned in this talk, and went to lead the Festival at our Kaikhali Temple, near Kolkata Airport.
"We will take anukalpa (a small amount of non-grains food) on Ekadasi, twice we are taking. But on Janmastami we are not taking that. On Janmastami we are completely fasting."
And:
"Vedavyasa very cleverly expressed the character of Lord Krishna.... Then we can understand what is the position of Lord Krishna and what is the position of Krishna's Rasa-lila. First we will see Him like a sun, from far, the fireball. The sun is a big fireball, but lookable from far, not near. Krishna's character is like that."

How special is that day! Sripad Bhakti Sudhir Goswami Maharaj addresses Brazil and Russia simultaneously from our Dum Dum Park Temple earlier this year, on the theme of Sri Jagannath Rathayatra Day.
"As Srila Gurudev was pointing out the other day: it is the ideal time, spiritually speaking, to start something new.... Krishna has so many jyotishis (astrologers), other than Him knowing everything..., so if He decides that this is the particular day that He will go to Vrindavan, that He will start from Dwaraka for Vrindavan, then we can understand how special is that day."
And:
"The devotees wisely invest all their serving capital at the lotus feet of Mahaprabhu wherein lies the entrance to Vrindavan.... This is one of the open secrets of the Krishna consciousness movement, that the entrance way to Vrindavan is located in Nabadwip and at the lotus feet of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu."
