Srila Prabhupada appeared on Nandotsava – the day that Nanda Maharaja had a big festival to celebrate the birth of Lord Krsna (Sri Krsna Janmastami). <b>This year, Srila Prabhupada’s Vyasa Puja falls on Wednesday, August 12th, 2020 and celebrations will be held virtually as the Temple remains closed.</b></span><br style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: "Open Sans"; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: "Open Sans"; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: "Open Sans"; font-size: 14px;">This day is known as Vyasa Puja because the spiritual master is a representative of Srila Vyasadeva who is the author of the Srimad Bhagavatam, one of our most important scriptures. Traditionally, Vyasa Puja "offerings" are made by devotees who write and present personal messages to the spiritual master. The Governing Body Commission (GBC) for ISKCON has stated that every devotee in ISKCON should write an offering to Srila Prabhupada on Vyasa Puja.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: "Open Sans"; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: "Open Sans"; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: "Open Sans"; font-size: 14px;">We would like to encourage all devotees in our community to write a personal letter, in the form of an offering to Srila Prabhupada for this year’s festival and, to further facilitate this process, we will be making a special Virtual ISKCON Toronto Vyasa Puja Book for 2020. Offerings can be submitted <a href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSd8Y8qb1GWob4F6CEyvVM8rfS5bIODPfYDZItSLGr-HeeMK8Q/viewform" target="_blank">HERE</a> by August 10th, 2020. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: "Open Sans"; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: "Open Sans"; font-size: 14px;">Please note – due to time constraints during the festival, we will not be able to have everyone read out their offerings during the main festivities. However, devotees are welcome to privately do so before or after the festival (there will be some special arrangement for this please stay tuned).</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: "Open Sans"; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: "Open Sans"; font-size: 14px;">We humbly encourage you to please take this opportunity to honour Srila Prabhupada with a personal offering!

Write in a style as if you are addressing Srila Prabhupada directly (e.g. “Srila Prabhupada, it is by your mercy that I have come to Krsna consciousness.”)</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: "Open Sans"; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: "Open Sans"; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: "Open Sans"; font-size: 14px;">The Vyasa Puja offering is meant for glorifying the spiritual master. So offerings need to be made in that mood and not be used as a platform for airing one's grievances. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: "Open Sans"; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: "Open Sans"; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: "Open Sans"; font-size: 14px;">You may wish to read the previous year’s Vyasa Puja offerings made to Srila Prabhupada by various senior devotees around ISKCON. It may give you some ideas of how to express yourself. These can be found here: http://prabhupada.krishna.com/homages</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: "Open Sans"; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: "Open Sans"; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: "Open Sans"; font-size: 14px;">It is a courtesy to start your offering with Srila Prabhupada’s pranama mantras; we have already printed these onto the official pages. A suggested opening is as follows: “Dear Srila Prabhupada, Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to you on this auspicious occasion of your Vyasa Puja.”</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: "Open Sans"; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: "Open Sans"; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: "Open Sans"; font-size: 14px;">The main content of the offering should glorify the role that Srila Prabhupada is playing in your life as well as express your indebtedness to him. You may also include reports about your spiritual growth, how you are meeting challenges and how you are carrying out his orders. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: "Open Sans"; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: "Open Sans"; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: "Open Sans"; font-size: 14px;">To end the offering it would be nice to show one’s appreciation and desire to please, by some nice phrase such as “Your Humble Servant” or something similar.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: "Open Sans"; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: "Open Sans"; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: "Open Sans"; font-size: 14px;">Please note, the temple reserves the right to not publish an offering if it is deemed inappropriate.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "open sans" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">To continue the tradition of Lord Jagannatha coming out to see the many devotees of Toronto, they will be travelling in style down Yonge St for a virtual parade! Starting at 11:00am, Lord Jagannatha, Baladeva and Subhadra will cruise along our usual parade route that EVERYONE can participate in, </span><span style="font-family: "open sans" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-weight: bold;">virtually from home</span><span style="font-family: "open sans" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "open sans" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">There’s more! The Deities will continue Their procession by travelling from Scarborough to Brampton, giving Their darshan to everyone. This means devotees can have once in a lifetime opportunity to have</span><span style="font-family: "open sans" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-weight: bold;"> “drive-by” contactless darshan</span><span style="font-family: "open sans" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">. Their Lordships will be stopping in three locations (see poster below for details). At these locations devotees will be directed to drive by the Deities (without exiting their car) to have darshan. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity!</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">On Wednesday, July 1st we will have a special Canada Day kirtan collaborated with Temples from across Canada. Traditionally devotees go out on street Harinama or chanting on this day, however, as we are advised to stay indoors this year, we are attempting to bring the mood of the various communities across Canada together- to your homes!

The single highest priority of ISKCON Toronto will always be the health and safety of our community. As such, the Temple was closed to the public on March 21, 2020.
The province of Ontario has moved into phase two of reopening with guidance to the gradual opening of places of worship. At the current time across GTA ISKCON Temple leaders are evaluating the process of reopening safely so that people can visit us. This requires multiple measures to be put into place because we care about your safety and well being but be assured we are working hard to bring you all back. As of now we (<a href="http://www.iskconbrampton.com/" target="_blank">ISKCON Brampton</a>, <a href="https://www.iskconmilton.com/" target="_blank">ISKCON Milton</a>, <a href="http://www.iskconscarborough.org/" target="_blank">ISKCON Scarborough</a>, and <a href="http://www.torontokrishna.com/" target="_blank">ISKCON Toronto</a>) remain closed to the public until further notice.
Please watch the video below of Bhaktimarga Swami updating us on the situation of our GTA ISKCON Centers. He will be back on June 30th with our next updates.
In the meantime, we will continue to bring all our programs to you online. Please visit our <a href="http://www.facebook.com/torontokrishna" target="_blank">Facebook Page</a> and <a href="http://www.torontokrishna.com/" target="_blank">website</a> for more information.</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #1c1e21; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Pandava-Nirjal Ekadasi: Tuesday, June 2nd, 2020</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #1c1e21; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #1c1e21; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Devout followers of the Hare Krishna tradition are used to the idea of enthusiastically celebrating their spirituality through chanting, dancing and feasting! The feasting is such an important part of our tradition, that we have become known as the "kitchen religion"!</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #1c1e21; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #1c1e21; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Now every fortnight, we observe Ekadasi, a day of prayer and meditation. On this </span><span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #1c1e21; display: inline; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">day we fast (or simplify our meals and abstain from grains and beans), and spend extra time reading the scriptures and chanting the auspicious Hare Krishna mantra.<br /><br />Once a year, we honour Pandava-Nirjal Ekadasi wherein, on this auspicious day, devotees do a complete fast from all food, even from water! The purpose of this day is to spend more time in focusing on feeding our spiritual needs! On this auspicious day of Pandava-Nirajal Ekadasi we will be hosting a special live kirtan. Bhaktimarga Swami will be going live on Tuesday June 2nd accompanied by some of our resident devotees, join us at 6:00pm EST for live Kirtan and Darshan on our Facebook Page!</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">For the pleasure of His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, we are pleased to announce the Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura Book Distribution Marathon.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura made a great effort to send books about Lord Caitanya all over the world. We can too!</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">During this pandemic, let’s follow in his footsteps by providing sacred knowledge to every part of the globe. We are shipping books through contactless deliveries as well as e-books for all devices.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">We’ve discovered how easy it is to distribute books via the Internet, and also by phone, through texting and calling!</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">To make it fun, we’ve started “calling parties” in which devotees join together simultaneously on Zoom and call contacts, friends and family wishing them well and providing them opportunity to read books during these testing times.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Alongside friends who share successes, advice, and smiles, makes each event feel like a festival. The time flies</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">and so do the books. Please join us!</span><br />

<br>
On May 6 we celebrated the festival that marked the appearance of the Lord in his wondrous form of half man-half lion. Lord Nrsimha stunned the worlds when He appeared and continues to do so today with his contradictory personality. Just like a cub that feels safe in the mouth of the lion, a sincere devotee is assured that the Lord will protect him from all kinds of impediments.<br>
<br>
The online festivities lasted from May 3-6, however, for the children the fun will last a WHOLE MONTH! We have Camp Nrsimha <span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: "open sans";">(ages 5-12 years), a virtual weekly interactive event that will be held every </span><b style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: "Open Sans";">Tuesday</b><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: "open sans";"> of the month: </span><b style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: "Open Sans";">May 5, 12, 19 and 26</b><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: "open sans";">. </span>These sessions are facilitated via beautiful visuals, sharing of the pastime (story), and other learnings by our beloved teachers at Krishna Funskool. Pictures of the session to be included shortly!<br>

Celebrations on May 6 will continue into the evening with a special yagna (fire sacrifice) ceremony. Prayers to invoke powerful mantras for protection, appealing to the Lord's incarnation who destroys negative forces, along with His weapons will be chanted. Such Vedic Sacraments are highly sanctifying, bring auspicious influences, increase devotion as well as peace. As such, this special Nrsimha yagna is potent in today's trying times.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>

<b><br /></b>
<b>Camp Nrsimha</b> (for ages 5-12 years) is a virtual weekly interactive event that will be held every <b>Tuesday</b> of the month: <b>May 5, 12, 19 and 26</b>. This will involve a bunch of fun activities like learning the pastime of the Lord while imbibing key values like compassion, steadfast devotion and strength to deal with stressful situations like the five year old prince Prahalad. There will be role play, crafts and more with some weekly assignment that children can work on over the week. </div>
<div dir="auto">
<br /></div>
<div dir="auto">
Also below are a list of activities that we would like to encourage children to engage in as per their age and/or ability. Some of these will be selected and <b>posted on this website every week!</b> Parents can send a picture of their child's work every week by 9:00 PM on Saturday to: <a href="mailto:kids@torontokrishna.com" target="_blank"><b>kids@torontokrishna.com</b></a>. </div>

<br /></div>
<div dir="auto">
The <b>theme</b> for the month of <b>May </b>is, the <b>Pastimes of Lord Nrsimha and Prahlad Maharaj</b>.</div>
<div dir="auto">
Suggestions include:</div>
<div dir="auto">
1. Colouring pages</div>
<div dir="auto">
2. Drawing events related to the pastime</div>
<div dir="auto">
3. Creating dioramas using modelling clay and recyclables (Lord Nrsimha emerging from the pillar is a great hit!)</div>
<div dir="auto">
4. Creating themed crafts, for eg: make a Nrsimha lion mask or talons to wear over your fingers</div>
<div dir="auto">
5. Sharing recipes prepared for offering to the Lord </div>
<div dir="auto">
6. Writing poems </div>
<div dir="auto">
7. Writing small biographies on the personalities like Prahlad Maharaj who is one of the twelve mahajans, or the identity of Hiranyakashipu in Vaikuntha, describing their roles and relationship relevant to the pastime</div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #606060; font-family: "helvetica"; font-size: 15px;">We pray that you and your loved ones are safe and blessed. We have some major updates regarding our 48th Festival of India that is held annually on the Toronto Centre Island and attended by thousands over the two-day event.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #606060; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 15px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #606060; font-family: "helvetica"; font-size: 15px;">On March 23, Mayor John Tory declared an emergency in the City of Toronto, including suspending all major events until June 30, 2020. This is part of the City of Toronto’s ongoing efforts to stop the spread of COVID-19 and will ensure the municipal government can continue to act and respond quickly to the pandemic and any other events that arise in the weeks ahead.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #606060; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 15px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #606060; font-family: "helvetica"; font-size: 15px;">To ensure the safety of all of our attendees as well as the close proximity of the deadline to our festival date, the Temple and Festival management have decided that we will have to </span><strong style="background-color: white; color: #606060; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 15px;">cancel our grand Ratha-Yatra/Festival of India on July 11-12, 2020</strong><span style="background-color: white; color: #606060; font-family: "helvetica"; font-size: 15px;">. It is certainly not an easy decision to make as it is a festival that is very dear to all of our hearts and you all participate in so enthusiastically. </span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #606060; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 15px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #606060; font-family: "helvetica"; font-size: 15px;">Although the Temple is closed for visitors the care of our presiding Deities Sri Sri Radha Ksira-Chora Gopinatha continues.
