KRISHNA
LORD
Welcome to Krishna Consciousness!

People are attracted to different qualities of God.

Some resort to power, others to humanity, someone else to the presidency, power, wealth. This means that God touches everyone.

He is All Attractive. If we translate this word into Sanskrit,

we receive the Name - KRISHNA (All-Attractive).

(Sanskrit is the ancient language of the Aryan civilization.


The word "Sanskrit" itself means "perfect").


Supreme Personality

God is Krishna

Krishna is God, the Supreme Personality.

Krishna is the cause of all causes, the lord of matter and spirit, the source of all emotions, experiences and sensations, the highest object of worship and love for all living beings.


Krishna said, “In My implicit form I tramsfix the entire universe. All beings are present in Me, but I am not in them. And at the same time, everything created is outside of Me. Meditate my mystical power! Being the support of all living beings and being everywhere, I am not part of the material universe: by the power of Myself I am the source of creation.”

(Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 9, Texts 4-6)


What is the Bhagavad-Gita?

"Bhagavad-Gita" (Sanskrit translation - "Song of God") is the world's only Divine knowledge, narrated directly by Lord Krishna Himself to his friend Arjuna on the battlefield of Kurukshetra over 5000 years ago. Their conversation represents one of the greatest philosophical and religious dialogues in human history, which took place before the first battle in the great fratricidal war.

Lord Shri Krishna

The soul is neither born nor dies. It has never arisen, is not arising and will not arise. It is unborn, eternal, always existing and primordial.

It does not perish when the body dies.

Appearance of Lord Krishna

Lord Krishna comes to this world for the sake of His devotees. He Himself says in the Bhagavad-Gita, "Whenever religion declines and godlessness prevails, I Myself appear into this world, O descendant of Bharata. To liberate the righteous and destroy the wicked,

and to restore the religion, I come here from age to age."

Krishna

Krishna's devotee Brahma said:

"He is known as the One who conquers sin, commands the senses, takes care of friends and cows, sustains the earth, is the essence of the Vedas and the life of His lovers, and He is also known as the One who commands all energy. He is the Supreme Spirit, the Absolute Truth. Those who lovingly meditate on Him and worship Him, attain immortality, which is attained only in this way."

Krishna's devotees

Krishna means "God." All of us are closely related to Him as He is our original father. But we have forgotten this relationship. When we ponder over the questions, "What is my relationship with God? What is the purpose of life?", we are called Krishna conscious.


(Srila Prabhupada - Founder of Krishna Consciousness Society)

Knowledge of the soul

Everyone has Krishna consciousness deep inside his/her/its heart. But because we live material, conditioned life, we have forgotten it. The process of repeating the maha-mantra - Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare / Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare - revives the Krishna consciousness that exists.

(Srila Prabhupada)

Freedom of choice

Krishna is an individual and He also wants to be treated as an individual, to be genuinely interested in Him and not just want to get something from Him. So that everything should be mutual . For this He gives us freedom of choice, because He wants us to love Him unconditionally and willingly, not by compulsion. He really wants us to be together with Him so that this is our true desire. Whether to practice in order to gain material benefits or to serve Him is our choice.

Holy Name

The nature of the Holy Name is that it is not distinct from Krishna Himself. There is also no restriction to invoke the Holy Name. The repetition of the Hare-Krishna-maha-mantra is the most powerful method of awakening the dormant love of God within us. Maha means "great song," manas means "mind," traya means "purification." That is, it purifies the mind.

"O all-attractive, all-pleasing Lord, O energy of the Lord! Please let me serve You faithfully."

Principles of Freedom

By following these principles, we reach the level of a civilized person, our life becomes more qualitative, empowered and meaningful.

4 regulative principles

Srila Prabhupada gives the regulative principles as restrictions, which only appear to limit bad actions because they actually give real freedom-freedom from unnecessary attachments. Therefore they are also called "principles of freedom." They are as follows:

1
NON-VIOLENCE
This principle includes not eating violent foods - meat, fish, eggs.
2
NOT TO USE INTOXICATING DRUGS
Avoiding the use of intoxicants - alcohol, drugs, and products containing caffeine.
3
REFUSAL TO GAMBLE
This includes all such activities that inflate insatiable excitement and the desire to profit without making appropriate efforts, as well as any deception.
4
REJECTION OF ILLICIT SEXUAL RELATIONS
This principle refers to sexual relations - they are only possible in marriage between legitimate spouses. And it is better if the spouses regulate their sex life, since its true purpose is to conceive godly children

One who has not established connection with the Supreme Lord (in Krishna consciousness) is unable to spiritualize his mind and concentrate his mind. Such a person does not know peace, and without peace , no any choices to happy life

(Bhagavad-Gita As It Is. 02.66)

SRILA PRABHUPADA

Lord Krishna sends his devotees to earth

We all know that if any person in the West has heard the words "Hare Krishna", it means they have come in contact with Srila Prabhupada or his devotees in one way or another. It is because of Srila Prabhupada the words "Hare Krishna" are known by all of us

Srila Prabhupada's teachings

Srila Prabhupada did not invent his philosophy. He taught only what he had been received through the chain of disciplic succession from his teacher Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakur.

Parampara

Happy devotees

Srila Prabhupada said: "Repeat 'Hare Krishna' and be happy." That was one of the sutras. And when Prabhupada was talking to one priest, he said, -You will recognize my devotees because their faces are glowing with happiness!

Bhakti Yoga

Srila Prabhupada brought to the West the teachings of Bhakti Yoga, a spiritual practice that helps us attain the highest perfection of life and become truly happy.

The scriptures say that the highest perfection is to renew our relationship with God. Then true love for Him awakens in us, and out of that love we begin to serve Him. But service is not slavery, but a desire to live the happiness of another. It is a very happy process.

AVATARA

Avatara is the descent of the Lord into the material world in one of His forms with a definite mission (BG 4.8 com; UGC p. 111, SW 1.16.30). But even while manifesting in the material world, the Lord has a spiritual body (BG 4.6, SW 1.15.35)


Lord Chaitanya

The Last Incarnation of Krishna: Chaitanya Mahaprabhu

The Lord, the Supreme Personality of God, appeared on earth 500 years ago as Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, the golden avatara, "Gauranga."

Appearance of Lord Chaitanya

The Vedic scriptures foretold the appearance and activities of Sri Chaitanya, declaring him to be the incarnation of the Supreme Personality of God, Sri Krishna.


"Brahma thundered: "I will reveal to you a secret! On the bank of the Jahnavi (Ganga) in Navadvipa, which is called Goloka-dhama, the great one, transcendental to the three forms of material nature, Govinda is two-armed form of Gaura, the greatest mystic whose form is eternal, will manifest bhakti to the whole world.

Golden Avatara

Chaitanya-upanishad from the Atharva-veda
"This one Lord, the Supreme Personality of God, whose transcendental body is golden in color, was incarnated in previous ages in bodies of red, dark and white. In His original form as Sri Chaitanya, He is truly the life force, the embodiment of bhakti, God and the knower of bhakti. He sings the Hare Krishna maha-mantra consisting of the names Hari, Krishna and Rama.
One who honors Sri Chaitanya, worships Him and remembers Him - is freed from all sins. He becomes purified, realizes the Absolute Truth and comes out from under the power of suffering. And there is no other way to attain such perfection.

Light-skinned but dark within (Krishna), I shall take birth from the bosom of Shachidevi. Accompanied by My companions, servants and weapons, I will play the role of an ordinary man."

God in 5 hypostases

It is very important for one to ask questions related to the Absolute Truth. In the Bhagavad-gita (4.9), Lord Krishna says, "One who knows the divine nature of My appearance and deeds wil never be given a birth in the material world. Leaving the body, he attains My eternal abode, O Arjuna."

Panchatattva

The Supreme Lord appeared with His companions, who are called pancha-tattvas. Pancha means five, tattva means truth, that is, the Lord in five hypostases. We shall try to discuss briefly the divine appearance and the purpose of the arrival of pancha-tattva.

In the Srimad-Bhagavatam, the ancient Vedic scripture, Shukadeva Gosvami never once mentioned the name of Lord Krishna's eternal companion, Srimati Radharani, because the position of Sri Radha is so sublime and intimate that Shukadeva Gosvami considered himself unworthy to say anything about Her.
It is impossible to come to Krishna without Radharani's mercy. She is the personification of the principle of devotional service. She is the inner energy of God's pleasure.

So Lord Chaitanya has come as a devotee of God. He is Krishna Himself, but in the mood of Srimati Radharani (bhakta-rupa). There are several external reasons for His appearance. The first is to give the method of repeating and chanting the holy names of the Lord, which is recommended in this particular age for spiritual perfection. The second is to show by example how to follow the path of pure devotion to God and how to develop a relationship with God. The third reason, without which the first two could not be fulfilled, is that the Lord responded to the prayer of His devotee.

Sankirtana yagya

In the Sri Chaitanya-charitamrita is stated, "In the age of Kali, intelligent people, gathering together, glorify the Lord and worship his incarnation, incessantly chanting Krishna's name. Although the color of his body is not dark, it is Krishna himself. His personal companions, servants and associates are always with him".

A dream come true

There are individuals whose dreams are so bold and lofty that they ignite the hearts of thousands of people around the world. In the distant and very difficult nineties, Alexander Gennadievich Hakimov (Chaitanya Chandra Charan prabhu) began to think deeply about what he could do for sincere people seeking the Truth if he had the opportunity. His meditation on the law already described above began to take on more and more tangible form each year.

Alexander Gennadievich is inspired by the idea of creating a place for future generations, from which scientists, cultural figures or simply harmoniously developed individuals can grow.
One of the main attractions of the Park is the Sarasvati Hall Arts Center. The 250-seat Center with a theatrical stage will allow the most unimaginable and daring shows to come to life.
For guests who want to stay for a few days in our park, rooms are provided in a cozy, comfortable hotel with a restaurant where you can taste vegetarian dishes.

Vrindavan park is becoming a reality thanks to the blessings of our teachers and devotees from all over the world: His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, His Holiness Jayapataka Swami Maharaj, His Grace Chaitanya Chandra Charan prabhu.

NAKORMI.KZ and VRINDAVAN PARK

We present to your attention a delicious, charitable project!


First of all, this is a community of people who are trying to bring goodness and light to our society through food.


The food we prepare is not only tasty and healthy, it is also the energy of love and care.

TASTY PROJECT

The January 2022 events were the impetus for creating this project. It also allowed us to see how many people need support and care. So to this day we continue to cook and feed.

Every Saturday, the Feed.kz team cooks at Vrindavan Park and distributes an average of 150 portions of lunch. At the moment there are 4 locations where we distribute lunches.
Two settlements where there are many poor and many children, a psycho-neurological orphanage and a government house for abandoned children.

The goal of the project is to reach and feed the needy and much more.

You can follow the activities of the project in our instagram and telegram channel.
