Radhadesch News May & June 2017

08-05-2017

Dear Reader,

Nrsimha Caturdasi: Appearance of Lord Nrsimhadeva 2017. Tuesday, May 9th, 2017 is the auspicious appearance day of Lord Nrsimhadeva, the half man (Nara) half lion (Simha) avatar of Lord Krishna. Lord Nrshimhadeva especially appeared to protect the best of the mahajanas (great souls) Prahlada Maharaja and to make sure His devotee Lord Brahma would keep his promise to Hiranyakasipu. To fulfil the promise of Lord Brahma, Lord Nrshimhadeva appeared in the form of neither an animal, neither a man, and neither during the day, or the night. He appeared as half lion, half man, and he appeared during the dusk, to protect Prahalada Maharaja from his demoniac father who wanted to kill him personally, after he tortured, while trying to kill his own son Prahlada, for many months.

We will have a special program during that day, and we will post that on the Radhadesh website. Please check Radhadesh.com for more info regarding the program.Read More...

CARE FOR COWS

We have amazing news, the devotees have been working tirelessly to get permission from the authorities to get permission to build a new cow stable. It was not easy but they did! It is actually amazing. We finally got the permission to build a new cow stable. Now the next part is that we need your help to support the cow stable. Off course we want to build this a soon as possible so Gopinatha’s cows will not be cold during the winter.

	Prabhupada Says So along with the other little cowherd boys, Kṛṣṇa and Balarāma went into the pasturing ground and took charge of the calves, and there They played with Their playmates. While taking charge of the calves, sometimes the two brothers played on Their flutes. And sometimes They played with āmalaka fruits and bael fruits, just as small children play with balls. Krishna Book Chapter 11
