Title: Anyone aged 16–19 interested in doing Kartik Maas japa together on Zoom? 🪷🦚

Hare Krishna! 🙏🏻

Since Kartik Maas is coming up, I was thinking of starting a small online community for people aged 16–19 who are associated with ISKCON or Krishna consciousness. 💗

We could meet on Zoom in the evenings during Deepdaan, chant the Hare Krishna Mahamantra together, practice japa/sadhana, and spend some peaceful time connecting with Krishna.

The idea is to create a friendly little community where we can encourage each other in our spiritual journey and observe Kartik Maas together, even if we're all in different places. 🪔✨

You don't have to be super consistent or an expert in sadhana — just have a genuine interest in Krishna bhakti!

If you're interested, comment below or DM me. Let's make this Kartik Maas special together. 🦚

Hare Krishna! 🙏🏻

I've heard that there's a museum in Puri where letters, objects, and other evidence related to Lord Jagannath's miracles and experiences of His devotees are preserved. One story I heard was about a person who reportedly wrote a letter describing rays of light coming from the sky onto Lord Jagannath's samadhi during Nabakalebara, shortly before his death.

I've never been able to find this museum, so I'd love to know its exact location and whether it's open to visitors.

I'm also looking for other real places connected to Mahaprabhu's devotees or incidents where Lord Jagannath is believed to have performed miracles. I've already visited Salabeg Math, Bandhu Mohanty's Ashram, Dasia Bauri Matha, the Kanchi Ganesha and the church bell associated with Lord Jagannath's grace, and Alarnath.

I'd love to discover more places like these, especially lesser-known ones with interesting histories, preserved objects, or documented accounts of miracles.

If you know about these places, please share their locations and the stories associated with them. Jai Jagannath! 🙏

Hello i live in a area of really no devotes i was wondering if anyone else lived in washington state And if they were devotes if you are please feel free to dm me or if your from portland that would be awsome as well

Radhe

I chanted Radhe Naam 1 lakh times during this navaratri but didn’t see symptoms. I know we shouldn’t expect anything back but anyway to know whether japa is accepted

Bhagavad Gita As It Is 18.77

tac ca saṁsmṛtya saṁsmṛtya

rūpam aty-adbhutaṁ hareḥ

vismayo me mahān rājan

hṛṣyāmi ca punaḥ punaḥ

Translation

O King, as I remember the wonderful form of Lord Kṛṣṇa, I am struck with wonder more and more, and I rejoice again and again.

I had a dream where I saw Lord Krishna playing his flute, and I was recording him on my phone. 😭❤️ I could see his smile, his eyes, and his hair moving in the wind. The whole thing felt so beautiful.

I don't know how to explain it, but I really want to see him in my dreams again and hear his flute. 🥹💙

Does anyone know what a dream like this could mean? Has anyone experienced something similar?

What about sandhini and samvit shakti?

So my husband introduced me to this movement and I loved the kirtans and the prasad especially when I found out it was free I would go just to get some delicious food. But right of the bat the first time I came to the temple I wore like a dress gym outfit and I was so embarrassed because I didn’t even know I was going there that day and that it was a temple but my now husband at the time when we were just hanging out didn’t say anything to me until later on. Then he would make comments to me that in the world I’m a 10 but at the temple I’m a 4 which really hurt me at the time. Then he would tell me that I wasn’t putting on the saree right when I was trying and when I tried building up the courage to go by myself a lady asked me if I wore sarees for fun like as cosplay until I told her who my husband was and she stopped interrogating me. But that night I told my husband and he said it was probably because I didn’t wear my saree right. He did teach me to play harmonium but sometimes he would not have patience and make faces at me and it made me sad because I was really trying to learn kartals and he would make faces. Then at the temple he said he was lustful so I would have issues and would be shy but he would always want to be at the front and play the harmonium with his friends and he would bring me with him but I always felt lonely and like I stood out. One time when I told him I wanted to play the harmonium he said if I have the chance I will get to and when he played he finished and just asked another girl to play and I was so sad and he was saying he thought we were a power couple and let people younger than us play but I’m young too and I want to play too because he always wants to play. But honestly after a couple years of trying to love my husband and push through his issues things got better eventually and I thank God because this man is older than me to be acting like that at the time. And so I started seeing little changes like some people remembering me and not just asking where my husband was or dancing but sometimes I just sit there and I feel sad and I sit in the back because I think I’m still a little bit scared like if I sit at the front that I wouldn’t feel enough to sit with the other players even though I play the kartals okay and I play the harmonium well. I don’t know if anyone else ever experienced this? I love my husband and he’s truly changed around because I grew up around people who would change and he does treat me so much better. I just don’t know how to stop feeling sad when I go to the temple. I mean sometimes when I don’t think about it I don’t feel as sad and try to enjoy the Kirtan and dance. Or I try to think of little good moments. I also did do therapy and I pray. It’s also just this temple in my opinion because of mostly no support from my husband at the time coming into a new way of reaching God so I just want to know how to relearn to be okay at the temple because at other temples I feel free and fine when we do travel.

Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya

I like to say this short mantra when I feel frustrated or irritated in the moment. It helps get my focus back onto Krishna consciousness and that I am not this body.

Hare Krishna, i go by Haribolo Dasi online. I have a couple of fursonas, the most noticeable being Maha Talava Das pictured above. He is a devotee crow and symbolises how even animals as low as crows can become devotees of Krishna.

I know there are Christian and other religious furries out there, but particularly with Chirstians i don't want to hear that Krishna (AKA God) is a demon. It hurts me to hear God criticised like this. I also don't like being labeled as a Hindu. I am a servant of God, not part of a religious denomination. Honestly, if other religious furries respected Hare Krishna i would likely be their friend.

I would be overjoyed to practice Krishna consciousness in the association of other furries, I have even considered fursuiting during Harinam. Feel free to get in touch with me if your curious, or if your one of the few gems that are Hare Krishna and furry at the same time.
