Please accept my apology for the not having updated in so long. My computer has expired and I need to buy a new one. Hopefully soon I will be adding pictures again. Since my last update, my 7 year old daughter, Chandramukhi started dressing our Lords. She is doing a fantastic job. Radha Madan Mohan also have a new temple room with a pujari room. Kartik is now in full swing and our Lords are attracting a lot of people to our house every night. It is all very exciting. I cant wait to post pictures. Radha Madan Mohan ki!!!

Bhakti Roberto wanted me to post some pictures of times that I have dressed Radhe Syam at the temple. I told her that I would not do it because this was Radha Madan Mohans blog but after a lot of thought I have decided to post just a few. You better be happy Bhakti!

I dress Radha Madhan Mohan every Sunday. Last week after dressing Krsna and Balaram at the temple I was asked to fill in for someone and dress Radhe Syam. It turned out that the outfits that I was to dress both Radha Madan Mohan and Radhe Syam were very similar. I also decided to accent the same way just for fun. This was the result of both. It was really fun.

Despite me, He is still all-merciful!

2010-12-15T03:47:00.000-08:00

I know I do not deserve His mercy. Yet still He gives it everyday. Patiently He waits for me to surrender. I still don't. He still waits with a merciful smile on His loving face. He is the most merciful Lord, Madan Mohan and I offer my respectful obeisances unto his glorious, beautiful lotus feet.

Gopasthami!!! I love dressing my Radha like a Gopa. I dont know how she was able to trick anybody by dressing up like a Gopa. She is way too beautiful!!!

When we started worshiping our Lords I was clueless on how to properly dress Them. Although I still have a long way to go, it is nice to see that I have made some progress.

When Krsna das Kaviraj Goswami went to pray at the lotus feet of Radha Madan Mohan, the all merciful Lord dropped His garland. This garland was then placed around the neck of this very advanced devotee. Kaviraj Goswami then understood that the Lord was giving him his blessings for writing Caitanya Caritamrta.

Dear Vijay Prabhu,

This post is for you. I will do more posts if you like. These are some of the belts that my Lords have inspired me to make for Them.

A few friends and I have started a Deity Seva club. We meet every week and make jewelry for our deities. They inspired me to organize my beads and I am now making the best jewelry for my Lords that I have ever made. Due to the association of these devotees I am having more fun than ever making belts, anklets, bracelets and so on.

Today marks the 6 year anniversary of the day when my wife and I committed ourselves to the worship of Sri Sri Radha Madan Mohan! We did a very small but very sweet ceremony in our home. We had a very beautiful abhisheka with pancha gavya (milk, yogurt, ghee, honey and sugar water). We allowed all present to participate fully (even the 2 and 3 year olds). It was a bit chaotic because of the kids but it was a lot of fun. I hope that the experience of bathing Radha Madan Mohan will deeply affect the little ones. Just see how beautiful my Lords are!

After seeing these pictures do I need to say more? I'll just say it was amazing.

2009-08-04T12:58:00.000-07:00

I dressed my Lords simply because they are going to be dressed up for Janmastami next time. My Lords are dressed every Sunday. Next time They will be sporting a new outfit and I am in the process of making Them all new jewelry. Very exciting times.

Every Janmastami in Alachua, many devotees come together and work long hours to re-create Vrindavan Village, Lord Krsnas favorite place. In our "Village of Vrindavan" we have the 7 main temples of Vrindavan. They are Radha Madhan Mohan, Radha Damodar, Radha Syamasundar, Radha Raman, Radha Gokulananda, Radha Gopinath and Radha Govinda. These different deities are worshipped with much love and attention in the homes of different devotees in this community. They all come together the night of Janmastami and bring Vrindavan to us, Their undeserving residents of Alachua. My beautiful Lords are getting ready for their 3rd annual appearance at the village of Vrindavan. You can see a clip of our 2007 festival on google video. Just type Village of Vrindavan and it should be the top choice.

This is my Radha Madan Mohans new backdrop. Its a banner made from a picture I took when I was in Vrindavan. It makes it look like they are Home.

Dressed with Bhakti by Bhakti. Bhakti has dressed Radha Madan Mohan about 25 times.

"Just like Madana-mohana, He was talking with Sanätana Goswami. Madana-mohana... Sanätana Goswami at that time had no temple; he was hanging his Deity on the tree. So Madana-mohana was talking with him, "Sanätana, you are bringing all these dry capatis, and it is stale, and you don't give Me even little salt. How can I eat?" Sanätana Goswami said, "Sir, where shall I go? Whatever I get I offer You. You kindly accept. I cannot move, old man." You see. So Krsna had to eat that. (chuckles) Because the bhakta is offering He cannot refuse. Yo me bhaktyä prayacchati. Real thing is bhakti. What you can offer to Krsna? Everything belongs to Krsna. What you have got? What is your value? And what is the value of your things? It is nothing. Therefore real thing is bhaktyä, real thing is your feeling. "Krsna, kindly take it. I have no qualification. I am most rotten, fallen, but (begins to cry) I have brought this thing for you. Please take it." This will be accepted. Don't be puffed up. Always be careful. You are dealing with Krsna. That is my request. Thank you very much. " Srila Prabhupad, Deity Installation, Los Angeles 1969.

Radha Madhan Mohan are covered in Jasmine flowers when it is in season.

It was an unbelievable experience. The wonderful Yadu Prabhu accompanied us to Dvadasyaditya teela. A few people asked if I would give my Lords to them. Many shouted "Radhe!" but everyone that crossed our path was amazed by Their beauty.

We arrived. This was the place where Sanatan Goswami worshipped His dear, most merciful Lord. This was the most wonderful home of Madhan Mohan. This was the best day ever!

2009-06-17T04:35:00.000-07:00

Radhanatha Swami was in town recently and he told everyone that the first Deities Srila Prabhupad saw were Radha Madhan Mohan!

2009-02-06T09:02:00.000-08:00

My wife, Yamuna, and I began worship of Radha Madhan Mohan on August 30, 2003. We had a little festival in our home, where we made the commitment to worship Them. Thirty-five people came to the festival and helped us welcome our dear Lords and nothing has ever been the same for us. Every single day for the rest of my life will begin in the same glorious way that it started out on August 31st, 2003. Each day will begin with worship of the Conquerer of cupid and His beloved consort. It feels awesome to be able to do this personal service to Them. To accept This worship from us, with all of our faults, you know that They must be the most merciful of all.

When Krsna Das Kaviraj Goswami wanted to write in glorification of Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu he started out by going to the temple of Radha Madan Mohan and praying to Them.

jayatam suratau pangor
mama manda mater gati
mat sarvasva padam bojau
radha madana mohanou

"Glory to the all merciful Radha and Madan Mohan. I am lame and ill advised, yet They are my directors and Their lotus feet are everything to me."
Srila Prabhupad said:

"Worship of Madan-Mohan is on the platform of reestablishing our forgotten relationship with the Supreme Personality of Godhead. In the beginning of our spiritual life we must worship Madan-Mohan so that He may attract us and nullify our attachment for material sense gratification. This relationship with Madan-Mohan is necessary for neophyte devotees. "

Now please let me pray like Krsna Das Kaviraj Goswami that I may glorify these all merciful Lords through this blog.
