2. International Society for Krishna Consciousness
Founder Acarya: His Divine Grace A.C.Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada
Srila Prabhupada appeared in this world in 1896 in
Calcutta, India. He first met his spiritual master, Srila
Bhaktisiddhanta sarasvati Goswami, in Calcutta in 1922.
Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati, a prominent religious scholar and
the founder of 64 Gaudiya Mathas, liked this educated young
man and convinced him to dedicate his life to teaching Vedic
knowledge. Srila Prabhupada become his student and 11 years
later, his formally initiated disciple.
At their first meeting, Srila Bhaktisiddhanta
Saraswati Thakura requested Srila Prabhupada to broadcast
Vedic knowledge through the English language. In the years
that followed Srila Prabhupada wrote a commentary on
Bhagavat Gita. Back To Godhead, an English fortnightly
magazine, now being continued by his disciples in more than
30 languages.
In 1965 when he first arrived by freighter in New York
City, Srila Prabhupada was practically penniless. It was
almost after a year of great difficulty that he established
the International society For Krishna Consciousness in July
1966. Before passing away on 14th Nov 1977 he guided the
society and saw it grow to a worldwide confederation of more
than 100 Ashrams, Schools, Temples, Institutes and Farm
communities.
Srila Prabhupada's most significant contribution,

3. however, is his books. Highly respected by the academic
community for their authority, depth and clarity, they serve
as standard text books in numerous college courses.
His writings have been translated into over 64
languages. The Bhaktivedanta Book Trust, established in
1972 to publish his works, has thus become the world's
largest publisher in the field of Indian religion and
philosophy.
Srila Prabhupada had a great desire to preach the
message of Bhagavat Gita to the children and youth, as they
are the foundation of any country.
At ISKCON Hyderabad, we have Sunday School for
children between the age groups six to sixteen years of age
and ISKCON Youth Forum (IYF) for students above 17 years
of age and above, which is managed by:

10. 2 Who made all us?
The Sun, the moon, the stars and sky,
The fish that swims and the bird that flies.
The sandy beaches, the tall mountain,
The rivers and the seas &.. who made them all?
The creepers, the bushes, the plants and the trees,
The beautiful flowers and the humming bees.
The animals that walk, the insects that crawl,
Please tell me, dear, who made them all?
The lush green fields, the fruits and grains,
The monsoon clouds showering rains.
The air we breathe, the water we drink,
Who made them dear, who do you think?
Cities and town, man made them all,
The building you see that stand so tall.
Man made the planes and also the trains,
But do you know, who gave him the brain?
Pleasing to the heart, and attracting all,
Krishna is the creator of big and small.
He holds together everything,
As pearls are tied up with a string.
Krishna is our mother, father and best friend too,
Telling us what to do, what not to do.

11. Watching, protecting and caring from above,
To our eternal home, He is calling with love.
Krishna Has provided us everything, let us know His Opulence

13. 3 Vaishnava
In the temple we see many people but a person who
worships and serves Sri Sri Radha Krishna is called Vaishnava.
A Vaishnava is a devotee of Lord Krishna.
He is dearest to Lord Krishna.
We can recognize a Vaishnava by the tilaka on his fore
head, tulasi beads in his neck and is always chanting the holy
name of Krishna.
A Vaishnava is the ocean of mercy and he is very kind
and compassionate. Vaishnava can fulfill all desires just like a
Kalpa Vruksha.
Vaishnava is always engaged in the service of Lord.
Some of them make beautiful dresses, jewellery and garlands
to decorate the Lord. Some clean the temple and some cook
for the Lord.
The Lord is pleased when we serve Vaishnava with love.
He is happy when we show our love for Him and for each other.
Krishna gets hurt when we fight with each other.

Recite Shloka
As soon as we enter temple hall we must first bow down to all
the Vaishnavas and recite this shloka.

14. vancha-kalpa taru bhyasca

Jagannath, Baladeva and Subhadra Mai.

15. Stick a picture of pure devotee of Krishna
Example: Narada Muni, Lakshmi, Arjuna, and Hanuman etc.

16. 4 Jaya Srila Prabhupada
In the temple we see an old man sitting. But he is not
any ordinary old man he is Srila Prabhupada.
He is the founder acharya of ISKCON Hare Krishna
movement. He is our guru. A real guru is one who teaches us to
love and serve Krishna and follow the rules of scriptures.
Srila Prabhupada was born on next day of Janmastami
(Nanda Utsava) in Calcutta. His father Gaur Mohan De and
mother Rajani named him Abhay Charan.
His full name is Abhay Charanarvinda Bhaktivedanta
Swami Srila Prabhupada. But we lovingly call him Srila
Prabhupada.
When we go to temple after bowing down to Vaishnava
we should pay obeisance to Srila Prabhupada.
Learn the Srila Prabhupada Pranama mantra.

20. 5- Who is Nimai?
The two deities with Their raised hands are Lord
Gauranga and Lord Nityananda. We lovingly call Them Gaur-
Nitai. The right side deity is Nimai.
Nimai is none other than Lord Krishna Himself. He is
born on full moon day of phalguna on lunar eclipse day in
Navadvipa, Mayapur (West Bengal). When He appeared
people chanted Lord Hari name and took bath in the holy
Ganga river.
He appeared as a son of Sachi mata and Jagannatha.
Misra. He is named Visvambhara. (One who protects and
maintains the universe). He was also nicknamed Nimai by His
mother as He was born under a neem tree and Gauranga
because His body complexion is golden in colour. We also call
Him Gaura chandra, and Gaura Hari.
His elder brother name was Vishwarupa.
He was very naughty and gave great joy to people of
Navadvipa.
Even as a baby, the Lord made people chant holy names.
He would often cry loudly, but when His mother, friends
would begin chanting Gods name and clapping, He would stop
crying and begin smiling.

21. When He became a Sanyasi at the age of 24 He was
named Krishna Caitanya (all attractive living force). He
taught us how to chant Hare Krishna Maha-mantra.
Recite the Shloka
namo maha vadanyaya
krsna prema pradayate

Translation
O most munificent incarnation! You are Krsna himself
appearing as Sri Krsna Caitanya Mahaprabhu. You have
assumed the golden color of Srimati Radharani and You are
widely distributing pure love of Krsna. We offer our
respectful obeisances unto you.
Learn the poem.
WHAT CAN I DO?
Two little hands go,
Clap, clap, clap
Two little feet go
Dance, dance, dance

22. Two little eyes are open wide
To see beautiful Gaura- Nitai
One little head goes down
To take Their mercy.
Recollect the names of Nimai and play it like a game of
telephone, telephone.

23. 6 - Pastimes of Gauranga
REVEALING HIS DIVINE FORM
Once a brahmana came on pilgrimage at Navadvipa.
Jagannatha Misra (father of Lord Caitanya) hosted him and
supplied him with rice and other ingredients to cook for his
Salagrama-Sila. The brahmana prepared and offered
everything, just then baby Nimai came and ate some of the
rice.
The brahmana lamented that restless Nimai had
contaminated his offering, but upon Jagannath Misra request
he agreed to cook again. But as the brahmana was offering
newly prepared food, Nimai again tasted it. This time
Jagannath Misra locked his son in a room, and after saying
sorry, asked the brahmana to ready yet another offering. It
was midnight and all were asleep when again the brahmana
started offering, but somehow baby Nimai arrived again and
took his food.
The brahmana was in tears. Lord Vishnu does not want
me to eat today, he thought. I must have committed some
offense.
Nimai then spoke: don't you know that I am the same
Lord Vishnu for whom you daily prepare offerings? He then
displayed His four armed Vishnu form to the brahmana, who
danced in divine joy upon understanding that the child teasing
him was none other than the Lord of his life.

24. The Instant Mango Tree:
Once, after Lord Caitanya and His devotees had
performed vigorous sankirtana, they were greatly fatigued
and sat down. The lord then sowed a mango seed in the yard,
and the seed fructified at once into a tree and began to grow.
As people watched, the tree became fully-grown, with ripe
fruits. Everyone was astonished. The lord then picked about
200 mangoes, and after washing them, offered them to Lord
Krishna to eat.
The mangoes were completely red and yellow, without a
skin or seed. Noting the quality of the mangoes, Lord Caitanya
was greatly satisfied. After eating some first, He
distributed the rest to the devotees. The mangoes were full
of juice and so sweet that a person would be fully satisfied by
eating just one.
Mangoes grew on that tree every day throughout the
twelve months of the year, and the devotees would eat them
to the lord's great satisfaction.
Recite Shloka (B.G.4.7)
Lord Caitanya is a present Yuga incarnation.
yada yada hi dharmasya
glanir bhavati bharata
abhyutthanam adharmasya
tada tmanam srjamy aham

25. 7 - Who is Nitai?
Standing next to Nimai is Nitai. He is Lord Nityananda
Prabhu. He is none other than Lord Balarama Himself.
Lord Nityananda was born around 500 years ago. He
appeared at Ekchakra (West Bengal).
Lord Nityananda was born to Hadai Pandita and
Padmavathi Mataji. He was married to Jhanavi devi and
Vasudha.
Nitai is very merciful and kind to all the fallen souls like
us. So to get the mercy of Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu we have
to get the mercy of Lord Nityananda.
On the order of Lord Caitanya, Lord Nityananda and
Haridas Thakura used to go door-to-door and begged people
to take Lord Hari name. Lord Nityananda is considered Guru
of all Gurus'.
Hear the pastimes of Patita-pavana (Nityananda Raya)
Delivering Jagai- Madhai:
Lord Caitanya sent Nityananda and Haridasa door to
door in Navadvipa to entreat everyone to worship Krishna,
chant His holy names, and study His teachings. Once while
preaching they came across Jagai and Madhai, two brothers

26. infamous as drunkards, meat eaters, and the worst of violent
criminals. Lord Nityananda, begins an ocean of
transcendental compassion, desired to deliver those rouges
and thus requested them to chant the holy names of Krishna.
In response, Madhai struck Nityananda prabhu on the head
with a piece of earthen pot, drawing blood- upon which Jagai
tried to restrain him. Hearing the news of the attack on Lord
Nityananda, who was dearer to Him than His own life, the
incensed Gauranga rushed to the spot and called for His
eternal discus weapon, Sudarshana, to kill Jagai and Madhai.
Seeing the Lord's fury, Jagai repented and begged for
forgiveness. But Madhai did not, so Nityananda, had to
restrain Lord Caitanya: My dear Lord, please do not kill him.
We have come to this world to save all fallen, wretched,
pathetic sinners. We should uplift Jagai and Madhai. Then we
will protect our reputation as the purifiers of the fallen
(Patita-Pavana). In other ages We killed many demons. Let Us
now deliver these two sinners.
Gauranga then forgave both of them on the condition
that they give up their sinful activities and chant the holy
names of the Lord. Henceforth these former terrors of
Navadvipa became famous as exalted devotees, which caused
the glories of Lord Caitanya to spread even more. In this
pastime Lord Caitanya demonstrated that although a devotee
should be humble and tolerant, and should forgive any
infringement against himself, he should not tolerate any
offense against Krishna or His devotees; rather he should
become angry.

We all have birthdays, but Krishna's birthday is
different. He appears according to his own sweet will. Krishna
came to the earth 5,000 years ago. His fathers name is
Vasudeva and mother's name is Devaki. He appeared in a jail
cell in Mathura. He had a wicked uncle named Kamsa, who
wanted to kill him.
But in the middle of the night a wonderful thing
happened! The guards fell asleep and the jail door opened.
Vasudeva hid baby Krishna in a basket and carried him to the
bank of the river Yamuna. The waters of the river parted so
that Krishna could be taken across to Gokula. There, Vasudev
placed Krishna in the safe care of Yashoda and Nanda
Maharaja. Krishna grew up in their tender loving care. They
looked after Krishna as their own child.

34. 10 - The Butter Thief
When Krishna and Balrama were young, they were very
naughty. They used to go to the houses of the gopis and steal
butter and curds. If the butter pots were hung up high, they
would stand on the grinding stone to reach the butter. They
feed the remaining butter to the monkeys.
Krishna and Balrama could steal the butter even in the
dark. The gopis could not understand how. Do you know how
they did it?
By the help of light radiating from Their body and Jewels.

36. 11 Giridhari
There are many hills and forests in Vrindavana. One of
these is Govardhana hill. Govardhana is covered with trees
and soft green grass. It is very dear to the people of
Vrindavana. The cowherd men used to take their cows to
graze there. The cowherd boys used to take their calves to
graze at the foot of Govardhana hill.
In his childhood, Krishna enacted a wonderful pastime.
Once Indra, the king of the demigods, sent torrents of rain to
destroy Vrindavana. Krishna picked up the Govardhana hill as
easily a child picks up the mushroom from the ground. He said,
My dear Vrajvasis, you can now safely enter under the
umbrella of Govardhana hill which will protect you . Krishna
held up the mountain with the little finger of his left hand for
seven days and seven nights and protected the people of
Vrindavana. And thus came to be known as 'GIRIDHARI'.
Every year we have a grand festival to celebrate this event.

Krishna's Divine Gift Water
1Water is Krishna's divine gift to us.
2Water is very useful for every living being.
3Water is used for drinking and washing.
4We cannot live without water.
5We should always carefully use the water.
6Krishna says in Bhagavad-Gita I am the taste of
water .
7Krishna in Bhagavad-Gita also says If you offer a
little Water to Me with love and devotion I will accept it .
Draw a pot with butter and decorate it.

38. 12- The girl beside Krishna
The lovely, beautiful girl, standing next to Lord Krishna is
Srimati Radharani. Her body colour is golden. She is the queen of
Vrindavana.
King Vrishabhanu found her while cultivating his land in
Ravaal (just like Janaka Maharaja found Sita Devi) and brought
up in Barsana under the loving care of Kirtida Sundari.
Srimati Radharani is the mother of the universe, the real
mother of all souls. And the meaning of mother is the most
caring.
She is most pure, selfless, caring, sharing, nurturing, and
loving.
That is why our Hare Krishna Maha mantra is a prayer to
Srimati Radha first and Sri Krishna second "'Hare' means 'Radhe.'
(The energy of Lord)
It is a desperate cry for the mother. 'Radhe! Please wake
us up from this nightmare and remind us of the father we have
forgotten and take
us home!
She is the Supreme Goddess, because she controls
Krishna by Her love. Krishna is easily pleased when we make
Srimati Radharani happy.

47. 16 Bhakti Devi
Tulasi Devi is very dear to Lord Krishna. She is a great
devotee of Lord Krishna and appears for us in the form of the
Tulasi Plant.
Lord Krishna has promised her that He would not taste
any food offering without her presence.
Tulasi leaves are also placed on the lotus feet of Lord
Krishna and Right hand of Srimati Radharani.
Tulasi is also used for making Tulasi beads on which we
chant our Hare Krishna Maha Mantra rounds and it is also
used in making neck beads, which we wear around our neck,
Actually by wearing Tulasi beads, we declare that we belong
to Lord Krishna.
Every morning we should offer water and flowers to
Srimati Tulasi Maharini before going to daily duties. We can
worship Tulasi plant by pouring water, offering incense
(agarbathi), Ghee lamp and flower.
She is considered as Bhakti Devi, She helps us advance
in our devotional life.
As you all have learnt that Tulasi is very sacred and
loved by Krishna and is not just a plant but in the original
spiritual form she is a Gopi that is a cowherd girl named
Vrinda Devi. In fact Vrindavana, Lord Krishna's abode in

48. spiritual world is named after Vrinda Devi.
Krishna sells himself to a devotee who offers him
merely a Tulasi leaf and a palm full of water.
By the circumambulation of Srimati Tulasi Devi all the
sins that one may have committed are destroyed at every
step, even the sin of killing a brahmana, provided we repent
for our sins and don't repeat the sins

56. 20 Mother of Devotion
Ekadasi is a day of fasting observed by all devotees.
There are two ekadasi in a month it the eleventh day after
new moon and eleventh day after full moon.
Srila Prabhupada usually observed Ekadasi in the
simplest manner prescribed in scripture. We must avoid
eating grains like wheat, rice etc. we should not even eat dahl,
peas, beans type of vegetables, mustard seeds and their
derivatives like wheat flour, mustard oil, soy-bean oil etc.
Some devotees eat only fruits, some take only water and some
fully fast.
The real purpose of Ekadasi is not just fasting but to
increase our time for hearing Krishna Katha and chanting
about Him.
Taking grains the next day breaks Ekadasi fast.
Cutting hair and nails is also forbidden on Ekadasi.

61. 22 Chanting the Holy Name
Our day is filled with many things like studies, sports,
watching TV and games. But we should keep some time from
our daily life to chant the holy name of Lord Krishna.
By chanting the Maha mantra we are praying for Radha
and Krishna service.
First and fore most is we should be clear and loud in
saying the words so that we can hear it properly but our mind
will go here and there, just listen to the sound.
If we chant with devotion and love everyday the Lord
will shower His mercy from above.
Krishna is non different from His names and so His
names are equally powerful as Himself. They will benefit
young, old and children too.

64. 23 Dancing in Kirtana
Everyone enjoys Kirtana in the temple. Devotees sing
Bhajans about Lord Krishna. They sing in many different
tunes.
One devotee leads the Kirtana. He sings first. The
other listen carefully. Then they sing after him and claps as
they sing.
Some devotees play kartala and others play mrdangas.
When we dance we should do it gracefully without bumping
into one. Lord Krishna is happy when He sees devotees
enjoying in the Kirtana.
Some times many devotees get together and go on
Harinama. During Harinam sankirtana a group of devotees go
out on to the street. They loudly sing the holy names of the
Lords. The deity of the Lord usually heads the procession.
As the procession moves forward more and more
people join in. Thus the people who do not visit the temple get
a chance to hear the holy names of the Lord.
The mercy of the Lord is also distributed in the form
of books and prasad.

66. 24 Mercy of Krishna
Everyone who comes to the temple is given delicious
prasad to eat. No one should go home without honouring
prasad. Why prasad is so important?
In the Bhagavad-Gita, Krishna says that if we offer to
him with love, a fruit, a flower, a leaf or even some water, He
accepts it. He accepts our devotion.
We should learn how to cook and offer tasty dishes for
the Lord. We must remember to place a Tulasi leaf on every
offering. This is called offering Bhoga to the Lord.
Offering bhoga is the way of showing our love for the
Lord. Lord Krishna accepts the offering and returns it in the
form of prasad. Prasad means mercy of Lord Krishna. We
should never eat any thing without offering it. We should
never waste prasad.

69. 26 - BUNDLE OF STICKS.
An old brahmana priest lived in a holy place, in an
ashram, with his seven disciples. There they worshipped very
ancient and sacred deities of Radha and Krishna. Many people
would come to see these deities and make donations for Their
worship.
The Guru, however, was growing weak due to old age.
He knew that soon it would be time to leave his body. He did
not feel confident to hand over to his disciples the entire
services of these deities.
One day a pilgrim donated a large ruby to the deities.
I think it should be sold for money, one disciple
declared.
No, no! another cried. Radha should wear it.
Yet another gave his opinion. It would be far better if
we cut it into many small rubies. Then we could make a
beautiful necklace for Her.
The disagreement among the disciples carried on for
so long that the brahmana felt that the deities would never
get the ruby. But he did not interfere. He wanted his
students to learn how to manage the ashram themselves.
After a while he said, that's enough. Now each one of you go
to the woods. Bring back one stick, no more than an inch

70. thick.
The seven disciples stopped their quarrelling and set
out to obey their Guru's order. When they returned, the old
brahmana took their sticks. He tied them all firmly together
with a couple of lengths of rope. He then asked, Which one
of you can break this bundle?
The seven young men each tried in turn, but even the
strongest failed. It's not possible, they exclaimed,
watch, their Guru said, cutting the rope with a knife. Taking
each stick on its own, he very easily snapped it into two; I am
getting old. Soon I will die. You are like a bundle of sticks. If
you try to help each other, cooperate and work together, you
will be strong and serve me well. But if you become divided and
fight, you will become weak like these separate sticks. And
then, who will care for our Radha and Krishna deities?
Remember united we stand and divided we fall.
Realizing their folly, the seven disciples agreed to set
the ruby in a gold ring. That ring, they decided, was to
decorate one of Krishna's fingers. Their Guru, pleased at
their decision, finally set ready to leave them. Soon after, he
peacefully gave up his body and returned to the spiritual
world.
Later, when people came to see the old brahmana's
famous deities they often asked, How did Krishna get such a
beautiful ring?

71. The disciples would always answer, by the strength of
a bundle of sticks.
MORAL OF THE STORY:
In this story we have learnt the importance of unity.
Pleasing Krishna is our common goal. We should keep this in
mind and cooperate with each other.
There are many more values we have to develop, as we
grow up like you, these devotees are also trying to inculcate
these values to enhance their Krishna Consciousness.

72. 27 THE SPARROW AND HER EGGS.
Once upon a time a sparrow laid her eggs on the
seashore of the ocean. The big ocean carried away her eggs on
its waves. The sparrow was very upset and asked the ocean to
return her eggs. But the ocean did not listen. The poor
sparrow cried in despairs but the ocean paid no attention.
The sparrow was very determined to get back her eggs.
So she decided to dry up the ocean. She began to pick up the
water in her small beaks. Everyone laughed at her for her
impossible determination.
Soon, Garuda heard the news. Garuda is the king of all
birds and the carrier of Lord Vishnu. He came to see his little
sister and was very pleased to see her determination. He
wanted to help her. He threatened to dry up the ocean if he
did not give back the eggs. The ocean was very frightened and
quickly returned the eggs.
MORAL OF THE STORY:
Thus, we see that the Lord helps those who help
themselves. The Lord was so pleased with the sparrow's
determination that He sent His representative to help her.

73. 28 - HANUMAN AND THE SQUIRREL
The wicked ten- headed demon Ravana kidnapped Sita
and took her to Lanka. Rama and Lakshmana searched
everywhere for Her. Sugriva and his monkey army helped
them
The monkey army had many, many strong soldiers.
Hanuman was the strongest of all. He jumped 100 yojanas
(800 miles) across the ocean. He went into the palace of
Ravana and found out where mother Sita was hidden. Ravana's
soldier tried to catch hanuman but he escaped after setting
fire to Lanka.
Finally Lord Rama decided to wage a war against
Ravana. A huge bridge was to be built across the ocean. Under
Lord Rama's instruction, millions of monkeys began to
construction. They tore up great rocks, trees and the entire
mountains and brought them to the shore. The huge stones
and the trees were thrown into the ocean and by the Lord's
mercy they started to float.
Hanuman carried huge boulders. He was working very
hard to please the Lord Rama. As he was working, he came
across a tiny squirrel that was kicking dust into the ocean.
The little squirrel was trying to help in building the bridge.
Seeing the squirrel effort, hanuman began laughing and said,
we are carrying big boulders, and please move aside or you will
get hurt.

74. Unknown to them Lord Rama had heard this entire
conversation. With a serious voice He addressed Hanuman
Why are you saying this? Both, you and the squirrel are
serving Me. You are lifting mountains peaks and she is moving
small grain of sand. According to your capacity both of you
are doing your best. I therefore consider your service and his
service to be equal. Both of you are equally dear to Me.

Sankirtana and sing Vaishnava Bhajans.

Causeless mercy on Krishnapriya for advancement in Krishna
Consciousness without any material desire but to serve the
lotus feet of Their Lordship and always engage in devotional
service.

78. Later on we offer the homemade pure vegetarian cake
and delicious bhoga to Sri Sri Radha Krishna and Krishnapriya
will cut the leftover remnants of cake left by Lord.
All the devotees and friends will sing Vaishnava
Birthday Song for her by loudly chanting Hare Krishna Maha-
mantra and again all of them sing ecstatic Hari-Nama
Sankirtana.
Then all of them will honour the prasadam offered to
the Lord.
