New Radhakund –
Korsnäs Gård
(enlarge)

Korsnäs Gård is the home of the Bhaktivedanta Book Trust, a non-profit organization dedicated to the publication of Vedic literature in Swedish and many other languages. About 30 km south of Stockholm, Korsnäs Gård is set in the beautiful Grödinge landscape. You are welcome to visit and experience the spiritually uplifting atmosphere and the peaceful lifestyle of Krishna devotees. Come visit us!


Sri Sri Gandharvika-Giridhari, the presiding Deities at New Radhakund
(enlarge)

Korsnäs Gård is the only Radha-Krishna temple in Scandinavia. The Deities were installed in 1980 and named Sri Sri Gandharvika-Giridhari. Although the Bhaktivedanta Book Trust was not here when the Deities were named, it is amazing that these beautiful Deities accepted the same names as the Deities Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Thakur established almost a hundred years earlier in India to oversee his own printing press.


SRILA PRABHUPADA
SPEAKS OUT:
His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada

"Religion includes four primary subjects, namely pious activities, economic development, satisfaction of the senses, and finally liberation from material bondage. Irreligious life is a barbarous condition. Indeed, human life begins when religion begins. Eating, sleeping, fearing, and mating are the four principles of animal life. These are common both to animals and to human beings. But religion is the extra function of the human being. Without religion, human life is no better than animal life. Therefore in human societies there is some form of religion which aims at self-realization and which makes reference to man's eternal relationship with God."
(Srimad-Bhagaatam, 1.1.2, purport)

Because Srila Prabhupada's books are sacred, his followers may sometimes wonder whether it is right to edit or revise them after his departure. BBTedit.com examines Srila Prabhupada's instructions to the BBT, and the history, myths, and controversies surrounding this important issue.
