Visit to ISKCon Temple, Delhi

For a long time we were planning to visit the ISKCon temple in Delhi. Recently we went there.It is situated at the East of Kailash area. The temple is also known as Shri Shri Radha Parthasarathi Mandir. As we went before Janmashtami, the preparations of the celebration was going on.

This is the entry to the temple. The stairs lead to the main hall.

In this picture, the Idols of Jai and Vijay- the gatekeeper of the Lord- can be seen in left and right side of the final stairs. The idols of Jai Vijay are also there in the ground floor, near the main entrance of the temple.

'Hare Krishna' kirtan was going on in the main hall throughout the whole time we were there.

The main hall has Radha Krishna idols at the centre.

On the right of Radha Krishna, the idols of Gour Nitai and Shri Narsimhadev are there.

On the left side of Radha Krishna, the idols of Shri Ram-Lakshma- Sita and Hanumaanji are there.

The ceiling of the main hall is painted beautifully with many scenes from the life of Shri Krishna and Shri Ram.

The temple also has books stores, memorabilia store and food stalls.

ISKCon is doing really good work in spreading devotion to the Lord :)

Do visit the temple if you are in Delhi.

Jai Shri Krishna.

Bliss Generated by Shri Krishna: Some songs from Ramanand Sagar's 'Shri Krishna'

Just thought to post some songs from Ramanand Sagar's Shri Krishna serial, where we can FEEL the Bliss genrated by the Lord to all the persons around Him. Each of these songs are Sooo Special to me due to emotions (Joy) they produce! "Baal Roop dekhke jo Kanhaai" , posted by Lola (IF) Video:- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AvNLdKxH6BY&feature=related Baal roop dekhen jo Kanhaai, seeing the child form of Lord Krishna, Munivar ne sudh budh bisaraai; the sage lost track of his surroundings Harash apaar hriday na samaaye, his heart couldn't contain the immesne rush of joy N ayanan me aansoo bhar aaye. it filled his eyes with tears Antar gati jo bhayee lakhi swaami , his state of mind upon seeing his master So jaanat bas antaryaami; could only be known by the Master Himself Kaise abhinandan karen?

'Hari Haraye Namah Krishna'

This is a very famous and old stotra on Shri Krishna. I heard it for the first time in the film 'Aagantuk'. Utpal Dutt was reciting this stotra, the original voice was of Satyajit Ray's, I think. But there the stotra remained incomplete as the next events of the film started taking place. From then, I always wanted to listen the full stotra along with reading it. Very recently I came to the audio track of the same and got the lyrics on internet. It has 10 stanzas, written by Narottam Das. Above the post I have given the vidoe of the song from YouTube, and here is the lyrics, and the English translation (which I got from the internet, credit goes to the original writer who posted the lyrics). (1) Hari haraye namah krishna yadavaya namah Yadavaya madhavaya kesavaya namah (2) Gopala govinda rama sri-madhusudana Giridhari gopinatha madana-mohana (3) Sri-caitanya-nityananda sri-advaita-sita Hari guru vaishnava bhagavata gita (4) Sri-rupa sanatana bhatta-...
