The Week Ahead




Dear Friends,

We started the holidays with loads of events for students, from the Kids Winter Retreat to the BYS Retreat for university students. Some learners are spending the day helping around the temple. Well done to all those who choose to dedicate some of their holiday to devotional activities.

The Nandagram Eco Nursery, located at the bottom end of the Radha Radhanath Temple property, will open this Saturday, 6 July. You will find a variety of indigenous and exotic ground covers, ferns, palms, herbs, shrubs, creepers, grasses, succulents, roses, fruit trees and flowering trees at competitive prices. Entrance via the security gate opposite the Post Office. Contact Mayapur Candra Das 072 605 7165 or nandagram.ecovillage@gmail.com.

Submission of Vyasa-puja homages to Srila Prabhupada, the Founder Acharya of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness, is on the 25th July 2013. Send to SPVP2013@gmail.com. For enquiries please contact Haridev Das at the same address or call 039 978 3000.
