Ishtagosthi
Community Meetings
Thanks
to those devotees who attended the Ishtagosthi last Sunday. We have decided to
make these community meetings a regular event and have set aside the first Sunday
of each month for this purpose. The
next meeting will therefore be on Sunday December 7th, from 7.30 am until 9am.
The meeting theme is "Increasing the spiritual content of our lives",
and the program will include some fun games to get to know the devotees better,
as well as readings from Srila Prabhupada's letters on this subject, and a report
from the project development team. I
hope as many devotees as possible can come together and we can make this a regular,
fun and worthwhile event.
New
Govardhan Festival
Every
year we pack up Brisbane Temple and everyone troops down to New Govardhan for
the Christmas Festival. The highlights are the midnight Rathayatra with 40,000
people in Byron Bay, the daytime Beach Rathayatra and the kirtanas and association
with Jayapataka Swami, Indradyumna Swami, Prabhavisnu Swami, Ramai Swami and many
more wonderful devotees. Not to be missed...Byron Rathayatra.
Seva
Organisation Chart This
week we have posted the first draft of the ISKCON Brisbane Seva Organisation Chart.
This document has been prepared with assistance from a management consultant and
is designed to facilitate the seva of all devotees by showing who is responsible
for the various aspects of the temple's functions. To
download the organisation chart please go to our management page at http://www.iskcon.org.au/management.asp
and see the link there. This
is the first draft and we are working on the second draft now. Any constructive
comments would be appreciated.
