Vaishnava Publications

The 7th issue of Gaudiya Touchstone http://gaudiyatouchstone.net commemorates the advent of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, which falls this year on March 16th 2014, so in this edition we have many articles glorifying Mahaprabhu and the sankirtana movement.

Gopal Jiu Publications is pleased to announce the release of issue #14 of Sri Krishna Kathamrita magazine, "The Glories of Mahaprasada". Prasada, the sacred food remnants of the Lord, are revered by devotees everywhere. However, in Jagannath Puri that tradition reaches heights that are not found anywhere else.

ISKCON Cinema, in association with the Vedic Community Foundation (VCF) will produce the Documentary Feature Film, ACHARYA—One Who Teaches by Example; a 90 minute, broadcast quality, HDTV production depicting the life and teachings of Srila Prabhupada.

Pranam and affection to you all!

Sorry for submitting 2 articles in the same day... If this is not possible, than may I suggest the article relating to Ratha Yatra as it is current and Ratha-Yatra is now in Jagannatha Puri Dham!

Haribol,

thank you for your consideration and seva!

This issue of the Gaudiya Touchstone's cover story is Kumbha-Mela, the world's largest act of faith. During January/February of this year news media across India and around the world turned their attention to the confluence of the Ganges, Yamuna and mystical Saraswati rivers at Allahabad.

According to United Nations, a disease tsunami is sweeping the world. Humanity is dying out. This is the result of our deep ignorance about our food. Food processing and health care are now multi-trillion dollar industries.

After forty years of managing temples or Mandirs in many different ways, as well as traveling all over India and seeing how others utilize successful plans, Stephen Knapp has put together a book that explains the most important programs that any temple can use for more effectively protecting and perpetuating the Vedic traditions.

Published in 1970 by Srila Prabhupada's ISKCON Press, The Krsna Consciousness Handbook is now available as a free 116-page PDF document, which you can download here.

We join Achyutananda in his visits to mathas and missions as he meets Narayana Maharaja, Bon Maharaja, and B.R. Sridhara Maharaja, among others. It is here especially that Blazing Sadhus, while decidedly non-political (and seldom politically correct), intentionally or not makes a strong statement about the condition of Gaudiya Vaishnavism today, particularly as it relates to siksa and the free flow of faith across now-rigid institutional boundaries.
