Looking to start shelter for Women/Children not yet involved in Krsna Consciousness
Dear devotees,
I started a non-profit six years ago, the NEW LIFE SOCIETY, dedicated to helping women and children. (men are also children of the Supreme Lord, so ultimately, we hope not to exclude anyone in the services offered) Organization is established as a 501 C(3) for the public benefit, WITH tax exemption. Would like to procure a building in the Los Angeles area, with the intent of giving short term benefit to those materially destitute, but simultaneously offering long term su

Dandavat Pranams Mahalaksmi dasi. Please accept my humble obeisances.
We have an offering:
Through four years of severe austerities and distribution of the Holy Name via our records and stage performances from coast to coast, Whisper and I have found that the inhabitants of Ithaca, New York are thirsty for the sri Krishna Sankirtan. So much so, that after two years of finishing our tour here, we had been invited to host a regular kirtan at the Ahimsa Yoga studio, invited again to commence the program over the winter this third year. After three years, have been blessed with a beautiful house that we offer as an ashram to Srila Gurudeva, the deity of lord Chaitanya and the Radha-Syamasudara stone.
Our consistency has attracted a third aspiring Vaishnava, named Buffalo-Turtle-Snowflake Jim who has begged me to read the Bhagavad-Gita As It Is to Him. During the Third chapter we were blessed with a house to care for the deities and maintain a regular sadhana-bhakti yoga program in.
This acquisition was not an easy task but rather than maintain a false sense of proprietorship, Whisper, Jim and I would like to offer this ashrama to srila Gurudeva and his Vaishnavas as a sanctuary and outpost for the teachings of srila Gurudeva and the Vaishnava Acharyas.
You can consider this an invitation to come and discipline us, for we are merely chanting fools with no real knowledge of Chaitanya Chritamrita or Srimad Bhagavatam. We chant from the fire set in my heart by young Dwarakadisha Das Kamhout and Jagad Guru, and are requesting bhjana siksa and training in the Vaishnava way.
We are only three sincere aspiring Vaishnavas, yet we will maintain this ashram to the best standards as shown to me by Jagad Guru's disciples and pray for visits from his and srila Gurudeva's messengers... This is our humble offering.
Please consider our four years of distance from any Vaishnava community, how we long for Vaishnava association and and how difficult it is to maintain integrity in the separation from sri Guru and his disciples.
We have felt a tremendous sense of abandon by Gurudeva's community from the start and we are constantly being challenged with practical questions like, "Where is you community and why don't they help you." and "if this is the absolute truth we would see the fruits of your faith. You would have place to bring people to to provide for their every need." etc. These are valid points and we have given the last four years of our live glorifying Gurudeva's name. We have secured the place. It's so beautiful. We've done our part, acting on faith, preaching homeless for four years. Now we have been blessed with this beautiful ashrama. You encouraged us and empowered us to do this. You brought us to the feet of srila Gurudeva. Please don't leave us hanging without Vaishnava association.
Most humbly and respectfully,
Bhakta Ghandolff the Grateful
Bearer of the Radha-Syamasundara stone.

Radhe Radhe!
I just got onto sangaspace and am happy that you are here also. Long time since Badger '06 where we went for a swim. I've been wandering the country since then and now have concluded that my Bhajan kutir in the desert is a nice a place as any to chant the holy names. Want to join me?
