The Spoon Revolution and Kurukshetra´s Veggie Club

The Spoon Revolution

This is the tittle of a post in a local magazine called ``Zitty``,advertising different places in Berlin where you cango to eat,drink or enjoy the life.By some mercy we also had the chanse to avertise the delicious vegetarian food and the idea of being a vegetarian.

The Spoon Relution Ki Jay!

Kurukshetra Mandir Ki Jay!

"We've had enough!" Say NO to GMO

A group of activists fom Vegetarsich-in-Berlin,representing the Spoon revolution,suported with presense a big demonstration in the center of Berlin.Here is little info from the organisators of the event:

Say no to Genetic Engineering, Factory Farms and Export Dumping!

At the invitation of the German federal government, international agricultural ministers and agro-chemical corporations will be meeting in Berlin on January 22, 2011. Within the framework of the "Grüne Woche" Monsanto, Müller Milch, BASF and others plan to further their agenda of industrializing farming through GMOs, factory farms and export dumping.

The agro-chemical companies want free markets and millions in additional subsidies for genetically engineered seed, chemicals and industrial food. They want factory instead of family farms. German Chancellor Merkel and her government support these companies and their plans.

Because of these plans, farmers, environmental activists and consumers got together to the streets on January 22, 2011.

Yes to family farms and organic agriculture. Yes to healthful and fair foods.

Here you can see some of us on the demonstration :

And some of the many gropus of activists:

So many people are awaking for the counscious life....I saw many inspired people there....and many of them are even not vegetarians.....This made me thing of the mercy we have got through the prasadam and the message of Mahaprabhu-how deeper philosophies we can be part from and how much more we are able to do ,becouse of this high goal?Important for this is the sadhu sanga and the being together.The team work.Human relationships are very complicated but wirth the wight atetude and organisation,with love,we can inspire others to seach for the highest.Big responsablity.Good luck and let´s make more together.Hari bol.

OM Club in Vrinda Kunja ahram

Der Omclub ist ein für alle offener Veranstaltungsort. Unsere Veranstaltungen widmen sich Kunst und Kultur und orientieren sich vor allem an einer ganzheitlichen spirituellen Entwicklung der Persönlichkeit, mehr als an der reiner künstlerischer Fähigkeiten. Wir wollen an diesem Ort gleichzeitig einen inneren Ort erschaffen, einen Ort im Herzen für alle diejenigen, die wie wir auf der Suche sind nach einem spielerischen, offenen und liebevollen Weg zur Bewußtwerdung unser ganz eigenen spirituellen Identität.

Der Omclub Berlin veranstaltet jede Woche in Eigenregie organisierte Workshops, bei denen jeder, der mag kostenlos mitmachen kann.

Der Omclub Berlin versteht sich als offener Ort für kreative Unruhe und neue Ideen, welche weiteren künstlerisch-spirituellen Aktivitäten an diesem Kreativ-Ort in Reinickendorf stattfinden können.

Aktuell bieten wir wöchentlich an bestimmten Tagen (freitags und sonnabends) die Möglichkeit, Alternativ- oder Independent-Filme – professionelle wie Amateurarbeiten – zu präsentieren. Alle Videokünstler sind herzlich eingeladen, ihre Arbeiten mit uns und dem Publikum zu teilen.

Der Ort verfügt über eine kleine Theaterbühne, Beleuchtung, Soundanlage und einiges mehr, um die künstlerischen Ansprüche aller Beteiligten zu sättigen.

Es geht uns darum, die Möglichkeit zu eröffnen, sich zu begegnen, andere Kulturen und ihre Menschen kennenzulernen, und dies zu keinem größeren oder geringeren Zweck als dem zu TEILEN: Erleben, Erlebnisse und Gewohnheiten genauso wie (auch das gehört dazu) die Schattenseiten des menschlichen Daseins auf diesem kleinen Planeten Erde. Wir scheinen so unterschiedlich, so getrennt und so entfernt zu sein... aber im Grunde.... ist dies nur eine weitere Illusion.

Kinder sind für den Omclub Berlin die Ehrengäste. Aktuell suchen wir Menschen mit Interesse an der alten Kunst des Puppentheaters, um Szenarien zu schreiben, Puppen zum Leben zu verhelfen, Musikeffekte zu erschaffen und  schließlich zu spielen. Natürlich möchten wir unser künstlerisches Tun an dem „universellen Bewußtsein“ ausrichten, daß – quasi einen Wimpernschlag in der Geschichte später...sei es nun Fluch oder Segen – die Kinder von heute die Großeltern von morgen sein werden. Wir wünschen uns, daß diese Großeltern zufriedene, liebevolle Großeltern sein werden, weise und voll de Gefühls der Dankbarkeit.

Der Omclub Berlin finanziert sich dank der Unterstützung von Freunden und anderen nahestehenden Menschen, die uns monatlich oder gelegentlich ihre Zuwendung geben. Dies tun sie von ganzem Herzen, großzügig und mit natürlicher spontaner Geste.

OKIs virtual marathon

From November 21 to 28th, the members of the Spoon Revolution Hill perform a virtual marathon of OKIS, and for this the idea is to “inundate” Internet with these messages of vegetarianism, ecology, love and respect for the animals.

The idea is that all the contacts and all the contacts of the contacts of the activists may have an OKI in their screens for the first time. Put OKIS in your profile picture, tag all yoour contacts, put them in the walls of your friends, OKIS´ slides in blogs and websites, send them by mail, so in this way, we can draw the attention of the people so they can be aware of this message.

This marathon will be full of surprises and it is known that a very big one will be there for the one who publishes more OKIs.

If you still do not know what´s an OKI, visit:

 …and join the marathon!!!

Little nectar from Sri Vrindavan

Radhe Radhey!Some of us have the mercy to be in Sri Vrindavan dham for the month of kartik and the parikrama with our beloved Guru Maharaj.The circumstances don't allow me that i can share a lot of nectar with you,but later more posts and reports will come.Please be patient :)Here a few photos for you and wishings for a beautiful Diwali festival and specialy Govardhan puja festival tomorow!

The beautiful Vrinda Kunj Mandir

Their Lordhips Gouranga Radha Vraja Mohan

Paramadvaiti Swami always blessing us with his mercy.

Parikrama in the holly land of Love.Kesi ghat,where Krsna killed the Kesi deamon.

Visiting special places as Radha Damodhar temple...

Following the footsteps of the acharyas....

like Rupa Goswami.....

Singing the holly name....

The place where Krsna was decorating the hair of Radharani and the favorite place of Nityananda prabhu in Vrindavan....Please,notice the deities of Goura Nitai,often we meet Mahaprabhu in this form,but personaly  i have never seen Lord Nityananda with this position of the hands.And the deities in front of them are very special...

Chir ghat,where Krsna stole the clothes of the gopis.

 Guru Deva realy loves the holly dham.He is organising a lot of cleaning programs on the Yamuna and many other places from the parikrama.He is not only organising it but he is cleaning with his hands.Special is that he cleaned a few holly kundas throwing the garbage from inside with a stick.Guru Maharaj is great.

Cleaning the holly places cleans your heart.

And to pray for more purification in the month of kartik is even more intensive while cleaning the holly dham.

 

Today is Dewali festival and we are going to have a nice festival in Vrinda Kunj.After we wil visit Mungir mandir,the place of Sadhu Maharaj.Guru deva has a special meditations in this kartik giving us many homeowrks,questions to which we have to write an answer.In one of the next posts the topics will come,but the homework from today is:write a letter to krsna to explain him what do you realy want.This is a strong meditation n which we have to be honest.And also to be careful,becouse Krsna is going to read it and he is fulfilling all desires.Good luck.Radhe Radhe!!!

Govardhan fest

Diwali fest

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.
Swami B.A. Paramadvaiti
