For Kuli MeLA 2009 I have proposed a presentation currently titled, “Exploring the History of ISKCON’s ‘Gurukula Experiment.’”

The concept is still evolving, but I have a few ideas:

This would be an “interactive” display with photos, video, time lines, highlights, Prabhupada’s quotes and letters about his ideas and intentions for the gurukula, letters and essays from Gurukulis about their memories and experiences, letters and essays from 1st generation people about their memories and experiences related to the gurukulas, letters and essays from the Kuli crowd with their thoughts, memories, appreciations, etc. More as it develops.

It is with much sadness that I inform you of the passing of Gokulananda dasa (Kevin Michael Simmons), a member of the Gurukuli Community.

On Friday, June 20th 2008 Gokulananda died by suicide in Marina Del Rey, CA USA.

The news of his departure was conveyed to his family and Gurukuli peers by his long-time girlfriend, Michelle LeMay.

There will be a memorial service to celebrate and honor his life on Sunday, June 29th at Michelle’s place in Marina Del Rey, CA.

Gokulananda was 36 years old. He attended gurukula in New Vrindaban, WV and Mayapura, India. He had been living in Los Angeles for the past 5 1/2 years.

His mother is Mahidhara dasi, his sister Jayanti dasi and brother Nanda Kishore dasa.

Sunanda Prabhu is looking for helpers inthe restaurant over the summer.

We are looking for some nice helpers here in our restaurant for the summer
season and perhaps you would know one or two who will attend the Kuli-Mela
later on. We pay 300 Euro a month for somebody who works six hours a day. If
somebody wants to work half time we will pay half. Prasadam included.

The tasks include everything from cleaning to serving the guests and taking
the payment. A basic understanding of preaching and prasadam distribution is
naturally an advantage.

Living facilities one will find in the Ashramas and they are for free.

If you will find somebody interested please write me back and I can answer
more detailed questions.

Thank you in advance !

We received 600 names from Kulimela in NV, and a further 300 people registered on the old website. We’ve compiled them into a single database (with much overlap), so now I’ve got to email the press release and tell everyone to register on the new site.. It’s a long job because sometimes these things get thrown into the spam box, so I try to keep the numbers down. I’ve even tried sending them all individually in the past, but that takes patience.

Hopefully you receive this, if not, apologies! perhaps it’s in the spam box. Or you’re not on the mailing list yet. Hopefully this is our last transition.
