Ajita Krishna Prabhu will have a seminar about defeating atheism on Saturday June 21, more info will follow. The Festival of India (19/7/2008) flyer (Danish) and website (English) is now up.

Devotees' traveling
Bhakta Michael and wife Bhaktin Sinar just came home from Bali after becoming initiated by their spiritual master, receiving their new names Madhavanada Dasa and Bhuvanesvari Devi Dasi. Jahnu Dvipa, Laxmi Rupa and Gaura Krishna Prabhus are back now in Denmark this summer, from their bases in India. Govinda Prabhu is also again here this summer and will, as last year, teach mrdanga and harmonium lessons to everyone interested. Bhakta Robert and Anastasios Prabhus just also came back after their journeys in India and Venezuela, respectively. Welcome home to all.

Most of the temple's staff are traveling this month. Templepresident Caitanya Candra Prabhu is traveling on bookdistribution and will probably only come by on June 15's Sundayfeast. Gaura Nataraja Prabhu is in Germany from June 4 till ca. June 24. Govinda Prabhu is also traveling from June 8-24, as well as Gaura Bhavana Prabhu June 3-10 and Amogha-drk Krsnadasa June 4-17. So everyone is most welcome to come by the temple if you have time to help with the daily duties, especially on Sundays.

New retreat center opening
Bhakta Kalki Prabhu has a summerhouse near Frederiksværk which he just finished making into a little, but very much harmonious, ISKCON retreat centre. The devotees attending the first, of many we hope to come, sat-sangas there, can attest that Kalki had managed to create an indeed very suitable atmosphere there for cultivating Krishna consciousness.

Outdoor face-lift
The outside area of the temple has continued getting a face-lift this year, especially by the effort of Dharmasetu Prabhu, with many new stone installments and wood works, and Madhavananda and Jesper Prabhus with the flowers. And we finally got a new greenhouse for Tulsidevi. More garden pictures here.

Organic garden project
Last year we were kindly donated a little kitchen garden land close to the temple. This year is has been expertly been taken care of by Bhakta Pandit Prabhu, resulting in three times more land given to us by the inspired landowner, and a nice variety of organic vegetables being grown. Here is Pandit harvesting the first radishes to be offered to Sri Sri Gaura Nitai.
