Letter of Gratefullness From Srila Paramadvati Swami on the day of his vyasapuja.
To my dearest, the one who believe me and love me:
Every year we celebrate the birthday in which I could find with my eternal master, Srila Prabhupada.
Share this feeling with you is even sweeter, for the valuable moments we have joining in the responsibility to protect the purity of so sweet and beautiful projects as the sanctuaries of Vrinda are.
Each of our centers is a branch of Vrindavan itself, which is delivered daily the Srimad Bhagavatam, where people can feel included in family Vrinda through my chats and the chance to serve, even taking spiritual responsibilities with the of life others.
I want to share what I have received.
Share with Gurudeva Atulananda and all the humble leaders dedicated to expand and protect our little success. Although it has its dangers. Very easily the leader of a beautiful monastery Yoga can feel like a superior, or independent, standing above all who have helped him and even of the Guru founder of the yoga monastery.
Is real, pride comes before the fall.
Thus, it is a special challenge to become an effective leader, loved by his people but also humble. Someone who just wants to see his Guru continue blessing his service as an expansion of the message of Srila Prabhupada and other souls who have encouraged me in this way.
We are a family, all your support and prayers are the blessings i received from my Guru through you. Honestly, I want to see each of you as a Guru, as the true disciple is automatically a Guru. Meanwhile the one that wants to be a Guru, or who feels or behaves as a Guru, it is not even a good discipule.
That is the paradox of the life of the genuine servant: to the one that want to serve, people see and treat him as Guru. While the one thats wants to be treated as Guru loses his shakti and even fall. At last Krishna controls everything and we should tolerate it.
On this day I send my prayers, wishing you all become Gurus and never fall. That's my hope. Because of my age, I also want to see many of you form communities, but its also good that the leaders of a place sometimes make a trip so they can increase their experience. Anyway there must be a lifelong relationship with those who are inspired by one, they are sons of our soul and have been inspired by the seed that the Guru placed in us.
Thus we strengthen the real. the family of Sraddha, a family without envy.
Due to the inspiration, we must be grateful to our Vartmana Pradarsaka Gurus (those that have put the soul in contact with the devotion to Sri Krishna and the spiritual master)
So, everything is sincere and very deep.So my mind: Love, love, love, and love.Forever.What else will there be?What else worth?
This love is not ours, is owned by Srila Prabhupada, with all rights reserved by him.He was a messenger of love, a messenger of peace.Messenger of vegetarianism, ecology and even more, of mercy in the form of Prasadam
Messenger of the philosophy and the Siddhanta par excellence (the conclusions that help us understand the meaning of our life)Messenger of the Holy Dham Vrindavan and Mayapur.Messenger of our existence, who gave us this mission and all our relationships.
So this is our chance to fall again to his feet in deep gratitude, demonstrating how we are eternally indebted to him.
Forward dear partners in this fight against Maya.Forever.

TRANSLATION
Refrain: O, brothers, (o brother) The Supreme Lord Krsna will bestow virtue upon you -- but He will do this only when Srimati Radharani first becomes pleased with you. This I surely declare to you.
1) Sri Srimad Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura, who is very dear to Lord Gauranga, the son of mother Saci, is unparalleled in his service to the Supreme Lord Sri Krsna. He is that great saintly spiritual master, most magnanimous within this universe, who bestows devotion to Krsna in various places throughout the world.
2) His desire is very powerful, and thus he is causing the Holy Name of Lord Gauranga to spread throughout all the countries of the Western World. In all the cities, towns, and villages on the earth, extending to all the oceans, rivers, and streams, everyone may accept the Holy Name of Krsna.
3) Thus all directions will be conquered by a flood of transcendental ecstasy flowing with the excessive mercy of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu. When all the miserable living entities that have been corrupted by maya become happy, then the Vaisnava's desire is fulfilled.
4) Although my Guru Maharaja ordered me to accomplish this mission, I am unworthy to do it, being very fallen and incompetent. That being the case, O Lord Krsna, Your mercy is today arising in a befitting manner to make me become worthy, for You are the wisest of all.
5) If You bestow Your divine power, then one attains the factual substance which is service to the spiritual master - and life becomes successful. If that service is obtained, then one becomes truly satisfied, and ultimately received Your association due to good fortune.
6) (As stated by Prahlada Maharaja to Lord Nrsimhadeva in the Srimad Bhagavatam, 7.9.28:)
"Thus, by associating with material desires one after another, I was following the general populace by falling into a blind well full of snakes. My dear Lord, O Supreme Personality of Godhead! Then the great sage Narada Muni kindly accepted me as his disciple, and instructed me how to achieve the transcendental position similar to his own. How could I ever leave the service of your servant?"
7) O Lord Krsna, You are my eternal companion. Forgetting You, I have suffered the kicking of maya birth after birth. If today the chance to meet You occurs again, then surely I will be able to rejoin You.
8) O my dear brother! In Your company I will experience great joy once again. Wandering about the pastures and fields, I will pass the entire day with You in tending the cows. Joking with You and frolicking throughout so many forests of Vraja, I will roll upon the ground in spiritual ecstasy. When, oh when will that day be mine?
9) Today that remembrance of being with You came to me in a very nice way. Feeling great longing I called out for You, O Lord Krsna! Only because I am Your eternal servant do I desire Your association so much. Except for You, I have no other refuge.

Suppe & Mucke
Soup and music is a name of a street festival in Berlin.
The Kitchen was very happy to have the company of many happy vegetables,who tranformed themselves in different soups.And they warmed up many hearts in that day.
Vegetarisch-in-Berlin is winning more and more friends with the delicious preparations!
Who was there to smile to the guests.... :)
And to the neighbors :)
We were distributing....
3 types of fantastic soups,invitations.....
with some parsley on top :)
it was working :)
Find the 10 diferences...from before......
and after.... :)
we realy finished a lot of kg soup for short time....
around the festival were different stages with music and art performances
The organisers had some stands from where you could buy a bow and a spoon,becouse nobody was allowed to distribute plastic plates.So some of the friends had with them a cup or a plate,and others just took on the place.
This is the Spoon revolution,fighting against the ilusion....
a new friend fell in love with the Love revolution :)
Everybody was distributing the sopus for free and had the chanse to have his stand with advertisment there.Something intersting was the orrange soup.Almost all soups were vegetarian or vegan.
Even with a lot of soup in the end of the festival there were still many hungry people.
Preaching and inviting the people to our Radhastami festival,who was in a few days....
The soup made us happy and we hope that also the people were happy with us.
Prasadam distribution Ki Jay!
