Awakening in the morning and thinking: Jay, another day with Gurudeva in Berlin!

What is better than any alarm clock in the whole world? - Knowing that Gurudeva is right at the next door and getting ready for Mangal Arati! Jay! Speeding with getting dressed, chanting and smiling are the bodily effects of that alarm clock personified.

At eight o´clock the lecture by Gurumaharaj was about cleaning ceremonies, pregnancy, and giving birth from the Vedic point of view. Gurumaharaj was reading out of the Srimad Bhagavatam. It was a very touching and enthusiastic lecture which gave us common aspects of life to rethink about.

New day, new start, new life: after the lecture a mataji from Bulgaria took initiation. Our new Godsister got the beautiful name Rasa Sthali. Jay!

Taking breakfast with all the other Devotees is the best way to energize physically for a new day in Krsna Consciousness. Meanwhile Gurudeva was more or less the entire day busy in the office of Prabhu Mandali the Devotees gathered, shared and had a nice spring day in Vrinda Kunja Berlin.

Around lunch time Gurudeva was calling all the children to talk a little bit about  Krsna and His Gopis and Gopas. It was so nice to see all the children together getting bigger and bigger glancing eyes while listening the beautiful Lilas of Krsna and Radharani. We, as adults, should look upon those children who take all the Lilas 100% as granted. It is more than for sure that those stories are 100% granted but the adults doubts are sometimes building unnecessary walls in front of them. How lucky we are that Gurudeva is always remembering us about the lilas and their truthfulness. What a mercy we have and  get through Gurudeva! Jay!

Today we had also two birthday children: Prema Kishor das - our major "priest" in Berlin already for many years. And, Ganga Sagar, who always enlightens the day with is bright smile. Happy Birthday!

At four o´clock the Sunday Love Festival started. A beautiful Bhajan, then a touching lecture followed by a lively Kirtan and having prasad under the sky. Wow, what a nice day! Many guests came, the temple room was packed and Gurudeva touched every single heart. Moreover he led the Kirtan with his charango which made our hearts dance and legs jump.

Gurudeva, ki jay!!!

Impressions from the lecture:

·         "Every Devotee has the ability and power to create new places of Vrindavan throughout the whole world. One has to spread and give the love of Krsna to the people coming to those places of Vrindavan."

·         "Do your loving seva and everything else will get fantastic."

·         "I wish and pray that the Berlin Temple gets a guiding example and power giving place to all the people coming here and also for the other temples."

·         "The top most important are the lovely relationships among the Devotees."

·         "Love means also understanding."

·         "Don´t judge the failures of others. Look for their reasons and their needs why they acted in such a faulty way."

·         "Gambling means games of lucks with which you put your money on a risk and with which you lose your time. I would consider playing golf as gambling."

Gurudeva, ki jay!
