Radhadesh Rebuilds!

Radhadesh didn’t undergo only structural changes. Lots of work is also done in the castle.

New windows are placed in the temple room followed by a huge maha-clean up thanks to the help of many residents.

Also the side entrance was given a full refurbishment, together with the former bhakti shastri-room, which is now transformed into a cosy place where residents can take their prasadam if it is too cold outside.

Last but not least, some devotees are working very hard at making and painting of panels containing the Maha-Mantra. These will be places between the window styles in the temple room

Summer time help

During the summer period, June-September, Radhadesh is very busy. Besides the tourists, there are also events and courses, such as the kirtan course, the yoga teacher training, the summer festival, the Janmastami festival. In addition, our retreat center and restaurant are fully booked almost every weekend by groups that rent our facilities.

With so many visitors, some extra manpower is very welcome. We are therefore looking for people who want to help us this summer in our restaurant, our retreat center and our shop and sometimes also in the kitchen and / or garden.

We are looking for people who can speak English (knowledge of French and/or Dutch is an advantage, but not necessary). Other requirements are: candidates must enjoy dealing with visitors, be able to perform 6 hours of physical activities per day, be able to work well in a team and be responsible. Unfortunately, we do not have facilities for married couples.

We offer a free stay and prasadam, the opportunity to follow our temple programs and deal with the many experienced devotees we expect to receive at Radhadesh this summer. Other conditions, benefits and needs can be discussed on an individual basis.

I WANT TO HELP!

Natuurlijk gaf Maharaja ook lezingen waarvan hieronder een korte teaser.

Srila Prabhupada geeft het voorbeeld van Ajamila. Ajamila werd geboren in een brahmana (priester) familie en van zijn vroege kinderjaren was alles goed, was alles correct. Alles wat zijn ouders hem onderwezen was correct. Hij hoefde zich niet helemaal te heroriënteren, zoals de meesten van ons moeten doen. En toch viel Ajamila van het pad van religie. Prabhupada zei: “Wat voor kans hebben wij dan. Als hij het niet kon volhouden, hoe zit het dan met ons?” Hoe kunnen we het dan voorkomen? Wij hebben de Heilige Naam, en de Heilige Naam zal ons beschermen. We worden niet alleen zelf gekwalificeerd door het chanten van de Naam, maar de Naam zal ons ook beschermen. Krishna in de gedaante van Zijn Naam zal aanwezig zijn en zal ingrijpen. Heer Caitanya is daar. Srila Prabhupada beschrijft in de Caitanya Caritamrita, Adya-lila, hoofdstuk 9 dat waar er kirtan en prasadam is, dat Heer Caitanya daar persoonlijk aanwezig is... Dat maakt het mogelijk.

Als je de lezingen in hun geheel wil horen, kun je naar RADHADESH.TV gaan.

Between May 22nd and 31st some very experienced devotees will visit Radhadesh, such as Krsna Ksetra Swami, Anuttama Dasa, Shaunaka Rsi Dasa, Madhu Sevita Dasa and Yadunandana Swami. They will also give the morning lectures. So if you have time, listen on RADHADESH.TV, or listen to the recordings afterwards.

Ointment is applied to the eyes, for clear vision. When the ointment of love of Godhead will be applied in our eyes, then with these eyes we shall be able to see God. God is not invisible. Simply like a man with cataract or any other eye disease, he cannot see. That does not mean the things are not existing. He cannot see. God is there, but because my eyes are not competent to see God, therefore I deny God. God is there, everywhere.
