Srimad Bhagavatam
Canto 1 Chapter 9 Text 34

yudhi turaga-rajo-vidhumra-visvak-
kaca-lulita-sramavary-alankrtasye
mama nisita-sarair vibhidyamana-
tvaci vilasat-kavace ‘stu krsna atma

TRANSLATION
On the battlefield [where Sri Krsna attended Arjuna out of friendship], the flowing hair of Lord Krsna turned ashen due to the dust raised by the hoofs of the horses. And because of His labor, beads of sweat wetted His face. All these decorations, intensified by the wounds dealt by my sharp arrows, were enjoyed by Him. Let my mind thus go unto Sri Krsna.

Weekly Sanga Podcast Surpasses 10,000 Downloads!

Posted on by Rathi Krishna dasa

In April 2007, we officially started keeping track of the Weekly Sanga podcast downloads and today we surpassed 10,000 downloads of 132 classes! This count does not include classes downloaded prior to April 2007, so the actual count is much higher!
Weekly Sanga originally started in the fall of 2005 as a way for Srila Dhanurdhara Swami to keep in touch and instruct disciples and friends while he was in India. Since then almost every class Srila Dhanurdhara Swami has given has been available for download. What started out as being every Wednesday evening, grew in popularity and Maharaja decided continue the Weekly Sanga when he returned to the West. Eventually, Maharaja started giving class on Sunday mornings as well which became the most popular of the two classes.
Thank you to all of you who regularly listen to the Weekly Sanga. Whether you listen live via phone or by your MP3 player or your computer, your participation is greatly appreciated.
Gaura-premanande hari-haribol!
Samaveta bhakta-vrinda ki jaya!

tadopasamhrtya girah sahasranir
vimukta-sangam mana adi-puruse
krsne lasat-pita-pate catur-bhuje
purah sthite ‘milita-drg vyadharayat

TRANSLATION
Thereupon that man who spoke on different subjects with thousands of meanings and who fought on thousands of battlefields and protected thousands of men, stopped speaking and, being completely freed from all bondage, withdrew his mind from everything else and fixed his wide-open eyes upon the original Personality of Godhead, Sri Krsna, who stood before him, four-handed, dressed in yellow garments that glittered and shined.
