First i saw his eyes….
And in his eyes i saw his Essence..
The warmth  that I longed for flowed into my heart
The purity of his Essence filled my eyes with tears
In his eyes i saw the reflection of his dazzling Essence,
My eyes dazzled…..

Then i heard his words coming from the depths of his heart,
The Essence in his words touched the innermost chambers of my heart….
My soul with LONGING bowed to his Essence…
My hearth embraced the Essence overflowing from his words….
My spirit was overjoyed and joined his soul high above….
The day became luminous, as if the sun rose upon us….
Together we glowed up above…..

Whenever I miss the essence in Your eyes…
Whenever my heart shivers with the essence in Your words…
My eyes close, my soul hastens to that glowing moment…
Again my soul with longing bows to Your soul, at that brightest moment of my dreams…
And words flow from my mouth, with the full power of my essence;
“Jaya Srila Guru deva ki Jaya….”

Our brain functions cancelled for a while when we get this information. We could not believe that this can be true.

We predicted that he might be in Samadhi however we could not estimate that he would pass away that quickly.

We broke down with the news as we were planning to visit Him in autumn 2010. As Srila Gurudeva passed away,  one more time He teached us “ to live at the moment“.  If you want to do something do it now and never cancel !

We feel very lucky that we had a chance to know You but among us we have friends who have not seen You yet and  want to see You a lot. Their sadness make us so upset that we do not even feel saddness about not seeing You once again. We have memories with You, we are very lucky. There are photographs and films taken together that lies eternity.

Indeed we are all very lucky that we have japas also, that were given by You.

There is a massage sent from You by Goswami Maharaj indicating that You have seperated a special part for Turkish devotees ( real turkish delight ) in Your heart. And we know, that  part is now in real home with You. We believe that on 27 March 2010 , we changed dimension together with You and we all in more spiritual frequency after that day. We are sure we all feel You more now and we will continue feeling You more.

We are grateful for everything. All of our love , devotion & service will be always with You. May Sri Krishna protect all Your devotees…

Hare Krishna , Hari bol

Murali Mohan Prabhu – Suddha Moyee Devi Dasi

We were all very sad but being together, we have remembered the words that Srila Grudev  has been told.  The memories have been told about Srila Grudev by the devotees who know him made us happy. We tried to prepare the foods which he likes and sang the bhajan “ Jaya Radha Mathava “ which He has sung with a joy.

With the Hare Krishna Maha Mantra and by concentrating Srila Gurudev’s picture we meditated and we understood that the picture is alive because His energy is always with us.

Jaya Srila Gurudeva ki Jaya

Wellcome!

We  restorated a village house, which is 450 years old, for four years as an ashram. It is 1300 mt high on the Taurus mountains. Srila Gurudeva  named this ashram as Sridhar Seva Ashram. Mahananda Prabhu who is living at Nabadwip Ashram, advised us to add Govinda to the name of the ashram also. This magic place is surrounded  by a very big garden.

Awakening with a various types of birds singing like partridges, nightingales and the bells of the herd on the dawn , you can fill up yourself the fresh air of the mountains.

On this natural circumstances, you feel the ashram life that fills your mind & spirit with the positive energy.

We usually do kirttan on the wooden veranda’s of the ashram  which sees all the valley. Also there are a lot of  tracking paths on the mountains near the ashram which you can feel the nature  for japa meditation.

Ghee is a healthy alternative to butter and oils. Ghee is an ingredient in many Middle Eastern dishes. It is also called clarified butter. It is available at natural foods and Indian product stores or you can prepare the ghee yourself. Is an unsalted butter that has been cooked to remove not only its butter fat solids, as in drawn butter, but also all water — so as to produce a food that contains no molecular oxygen, and is thus extremely storable and not subject to rancidity as in normal cooking oils. The health advantages accrue from the fact that ghee contains no oxidized cholesterol, the kind which leads to free radical damage in the cells of the body. Ingredients
