Thailand Temple Video 3-D

I now live here in Bangkok Thailand with my wife and children. Thailand is an amazing place, just two hours flight from India. People here are sensitive, cultured, kind and humble and un-like India, where greed is so rampant, most people look to serve and help you out from the kindness of their hearts. All worship our Param Guru Lord Brahma and are followers of Lord Buddhadeva and recognize Him as an incarnation of Vishnu. The remnants of Vedic culture are everywhere. I’ve spent the last two years designing a Temple complex here at a cost of half a million dollars. The project itself will cost an estimated one hundred million dollars. We hope to attract the world with this Temple Complex sitting of 250 acres of land and make it the center for Asia preaching operations. A self-sufficient, sustainable farm included. We want to create the world’s most beautiful gardens with Bhagavad Gita sculptures, hotels, world-class restaurants, Vedic Planetarium and more. Please down load the file to see the Temple 3-D, not completed with detail). There’s so much preaching to do here in Asia. There is Laos, Burma( where the government wants to give land for a Krishna Temple) Vietnam and Great China.

Michael Jackson Received Vaishnava Books

In 1999 Satya devi dasi, of Sri Sri Radha Govinda Mandir in Brooklyn, New York, twice catered prasadam for the late Michael Jackson at private dinners for two with a man we know in New York City.

When she offered the singer a copy of the Bhagavad-gita he said he already had the book. The host then asked if the book Jackson had was Srila Prabhupada's Bhagavad-gita As It Is; Jackson confirmed that it was. When presented with a first-edition Krishna Art book, he looked through the illustrations and said he liked the paintings. He took that Krishna Art book home.

He was one of the fortunate persons in this world to honor Sri Sri Radha Govindadeva's Maha-prasdam, enjoying Radha Govinda Temple's world famous Burfi and other Mangal-arati sweets. He got Satya's gourmet prasadam cooking for dinner on two consecutive evenings, discussing reincarnation and karma at the dinner table with the host.

Satya reported that Jackson was very nice, soft-spoken and friendly. At that time he was staying in a luxury suite at the Waldorf Astoria with his daughter Paris Katherine and first son Prince Michael; his third child was not yet born. Jackson had been in New York to receive the Bollywood Outstanding Humanitarian Award.
