Rtvik Initiation In Melaka

Hare Krishna!

Dear devotees, members & well-wishers,

There is always so much to tell from the pavilion of Sri Krishna Mandir but time seems to be a constraint.

Nevertheless, the last weekend is worth mentioning as some new developments transpired in regards to preaching in Malaysia.



On the Friday last, Raghupati Prabhu, Bhakta Pancha Tatva and our humble self left for the Malaya Giri Dham to stay for the night. The next morning, on the 13th of November, 2010, we had our lunch Prasadam at the Malaya Giri Dham and left for Melaka. A program was scheduled by Svarat Prabhu, the President of Pedas temple, in Melaka wherein 7 new devotees were to get initiated and one devotee took Brahmana initiation. That night we had a yajna and 7 devotees took initiation (became disciples of Srila Prabhupada) from Srila Prabhupada through the Rtvik system of initiation as authorized by Srila Prabhupada. His Grace Sundar Gopal Prabhu acted as the Rtvik representative of Srila Prabhupada and conducted the ceremony on his behalf. The yajna was conducted by His Grace Sacisuta Prabhu. All the new initiates were happy to accept Srila Prabhupada as their spiritual master and work under the direction of their respective temple presidents just as Srila Prabhupada wanted.

The next day, we observed the Govardhana Puja at Taman Sentosa, Klang. Almost 60 to 70 devotees attended the festival. Owing to the shifting the temple from Bujit Tinggi to Taman Sentosa, the devotees at Klang could not celebrate the festival on the actual date, that is on the 7th of Nov, 2010.



Stay tuned for more!

Hare Krishna!
