To unlock the spiritual potency of the rare month of Purusottama, the ISKCON Congregational Development Ministry (CDM)[link] has launched an initiative to encourage and facilitate devotees worldwide to observe this auspicious period in the Vedic calendar. Purushottama Month, also known as Adhik Maas, is a sacred time that occurs approximately every three years and is highly cherished by Lord Krishna's devotees.

"Krishna - My Best Friend" is a new book written by Gourangi Gandharvika Devi Dasi and Acintyapriya Davi Dasi and published by the Congregational Development Ministry - Bhakti Kids. Their intention behind writing this book is to help children develop a personal connection with Krishna, viewing Him as their best friend rather than approaching Him with awe and reverence.

Beginning Saturday, June 3rd, 2023, ISKCON's Congregational Development Ministry will offer an online "Bhagavad Gita Course For Children." The exciting new offering, provided in both English and Spanish, will be taught by Nikunja Nivasini Devi Dasi. It's aimed at children between 5 and 16 (each age will be given age appropriate learning materials).

Esa spent 14 months at ISKCON Gita Nagari and during his stay he was always helpful, enthusiastic, and devoted to the process of Krishna Consciousness. He will be deeply missed by all those who knew him.
