As those who read and follow the postings on PlanetISKCON will know that HH Mahavishnu Swami has started writing on his new blog, it’s important that we make some effort to reply and make comments to encourage by this way more postings will be added.

One thing we may not be aware of is that some lovely clips from his African tour have also been posted but not fed in the planetiskcon rss feed, these can be found here:

I’m sure if you take the time to view them you will become inspired as it’s amazing what a few inspired devotee’s can do

This is a small clip of the recent visit by HH Mahavishnu Swami to Bhaktivadanta Manor, London.
At the end of the class we had a very small bhajan which took us all by surprise but was amazing.

It has been an amazing week having such an amazing visitor to my home just one more week of such fine association to go.

The sun was shining on the sea front in Brighton Saturday mid-day, ready for one of the last Ratha-yatras of this year.

As usual I have put together some video clips; the first is the setting up and arrival of the deities and Srila Prabhupada

Watch Video

The second is a small clip of the festival itself

Many times I have heard some say "Why worry and follow these rules strictly when you can pick up and continue were you left off?"

I have also at times found myself thinking along the same lines especially as my mind wonders and I get caught up in emotions, so this class gave me lots to think about and I am sure it would also change many others view point.

Again I have posted it on YouTube here, "Re-Birth, return home to God Head":

Watch Re-Birth, return home to God Head

Again sorry for the delay in publishing these clips from Bhaktivadanta Manor 2008 Janmastami celebrations. I will edit and post some clips from the morning class over the next few days but hope you enjoy these few postings:

It was with some sweetness that some of Srila Prabhupada’s disciples shared a little bit with us:

This week we had a wonderful class given by Praghosa Das, UK GBC. It gave us many thoughts to ponder, this small point I felt should be shared:

After the filming of the opening of Radharani's Bakery's new shop, Kripamoya Prabhu quietly mentioned that it may appear on the net soon.

I hope as always that these clips meet the needs of the devotee's

For me one of the most inspirational devotees and it is always nice to meet up with him during Rathayatra.

Here is one of his devotional songs and although beset by some technical issues is a wonderful piece of music:

I have posted two clips of the recent visit by HH Devamrita Prabhu during his visit to Manchester this week, you can find them on the following links:

This is a continuation from the video taken last year.
I have related this story to some devotees but they were unsure of how accurate it was.
For those doing University exams I am sure you would wish to have a course like this.
You can find it at:

HH Devamrita Swami, Honors degree

This clip always makes me laugh.
Also sorry I do not have any video clips of his visit to the UK this month a failing on my part so I hope this clip makes up for it.

This continues with my archive material, this is a play performed in March 2007.
Due to ISKCON politics I have wondered about holding this play on video and too on publishing it but it shows what wonderful asset our youth are and what they have to offer.
Included as a bonus is the Bhakrividanta deities for your viewing pleasure.

This is in two parts lasting in total about 15 minutes:

Bhaktividanta Manor, Play March 2007 Part 1

This is a small clip but I cannot remember who it is if anyone could help me with a name I would be most appreciative.

Bhaktividanta Manor, March 2007

I hope my efforts to make these small video clips are warmly welcomed by all, I should start taking my video camera with me again and start filming.

Well after more than 10 attempts I have managed to upload this clip although it is very much edited,

HH Jakapataka Swami

Hope that my efforts and frustration is worth it and it gives you all as much pleasure watching as it does me

Enjoy

Continuing on the video theme please I have managed to upload an Archive video of HH Devamrita Swami during one of his visits to Soho Street.
