Hare Krsna!
Thank you very much for
your patience. Around May 9, 2010, the new proposed things, like the video page
and the inclusion of more mahamantra notations, will
slowly be implemented. The only videos posted are the Ramayana videos and the
first eight episodes of Mahabharata. Due to certain incompletions,
there may be some broken links as a result. Please report any broken links, but
clicking the Contact KKSongs.org link from homepage.
Please forgive us for any
inconvenience caused by this.
Forthcoming events to mark
on your calendars:
February 28: The auspicious 524th anniversary of the appearance day of Sri
Caitanya Mahaprabhu (Gaura Purnima). This is celebrated by fasting till moon-rise, chanting and read
glories of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu;
then, break with Ekadasi-style dinner (i.e. no
grains/beans).
This marks the Vaisnava New Year and the celebration of the
color-festival, “Holi.”
March 11: Papamocani Ekadasi: Please fast from grains
and beans on this day.
March 24: Rama Navami: This is the anniversary day of Lord Ramacandra’s
appearance on earth. Lord Rama was the incarnation of
the Supreme Lord portraying the ideal man in all aspects (as a son, as a
brother, as a loyal husband), and a model king. Devotees celebrate this day by
fasting till sunset, reading the glories of Lord Rama
through the Ninth
Canto of the Srimad Bhagavatam or the Ramayana. The fasting is broken with an Ekadasi
meal (i.e. no grains and beans).
March 26: Kamada Ekadasi: Please fast from grains
and beans on this day.
I do want to re-emphasize
that these dates are in sync with Chicago, IL, USA. The date may vary slightly
depending on the lunar position of the location. Therefore, please contact your
nearest Gaudiya Vaisnava
center to collect proper dates and fast-breaking times.
Hari Bol!
Hare Krsna!

Hare Krsna! KKSongs.org
wishes everybody a very happy new year. The year 2009 was a moderately
successful year, especially with the new interlinking system. There might be
another grand update in the summer of this year, but it is not for certain. The
new mahamantra component of the Vaisnava
songs page as well as the music portion of the site will receive more updates
and refining.
Thank you all very much for your support, love, and
patience throughout the slow progress. Hari Bol!
