Bhagavadgita Verse of the Week: 
 
Bhaktivedanta VedaBase: Bhagavad-gita As It Is 2.64
 
rāga-dveṣa-vimuktais tu
viṣayān indriyaiś caran
ātma-vaśyair vidheyātmā
prasādam adhigacchati

 
SYNONYMS
 
rāga - attachment; dveṣa - and detachment; vimuktaiḥ - by one who has become free from; tu - but; viṣayān - sense objects; indriyaiḥ - by the senses; caran - acting upon; ātma-vaśyaiḥ - under one's control; vidheya-ātmā - one who follows regulated freedom; prasādam - the mercy of the Lord; adhigacchati - attains.
 
TRANSLATION

 
But a person free from all attachment and aversion and able to control his senses through regulative principles of freedom can obtain the complete mercy of the Lord.
 
PURPORT

 
It is already explained that one may externally control the senses by some artificial process, but unless the senses are engaged in the transcendental service of the Lord, there is every chance of a fall. Although the person in full Kṛṣṇa consciousness may apparently be on the sensual plane, because of his being Kṛṣṇa conscious he has no attachment to sensual activities. The Kṛṣṇa conscious person is concerned only with the satisfaction of Kṛṣṇa, and nothing else. Therefore he is transcendental to all attachment and detachment. If Kṛṣṇa wants, the devotee can do anything which is ordinarily undesirable; and if Kṛṣṇa does not want, he shall not do that which he would have ordinarily done for his own satisfaction. Therefore to act or not to act is within his control because he acts only under the direction of Kṛṣṇa. This consciousness is the causeless mercy of the Lord, which the devotee can achieve in spite of his being attached to the sensual platform.

Sri Gita Jayanti Celebration On Saturday November 28th, 2009:
 
Dear Devotees and Friends:
 
Hare Krsna! This year we had a very successful Gita Jayanti program where many congregational devotees turned up for reciting Srimad Bhagavadgita. Recitation started at 9:00am and was completed by 2:00pm. We started a second reading at 2:00pm and this was completed by 7pm.
We would sincerely like to thank all of the participants, and especially to those who sponsored Gita's for distribution to the public. Last count shows that 520 Bhagavadgitas were sponsored by the congregation. This free distribution of literature is only possible by the generous donations of all of the congregational members.
 
 
Thank you once again.
 
                                                         Yours in the service of Sri Krsna:
 
                                                                                                     Chaitanya Chandra Das
