This project is a humble offering to His Divine Grace Srila Bhaktivedanta Narayana Goswami Maharaja, who now continues the work of teaching the world the cult of pure Bhakti in the glorious line of Sri Gaudiya-Saraswata Sampradaya.

To precisely the same extent this project is dedicated to His Divine Grace A.C Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, to whom all of us (Western and Eastern devotees alike) are eternally obliged; who has forever endeared all of us by his sweet mercy; and who has performed the well known #1 world’s miracle of the 20th century. Perhaps this transcendental miracle, as well as Prabhupada's full glory are still to be fully manifest in this world as well as in the hearts of most of us.

We'd like to thank everyone who helped us so far... all the riksas in India that were taking us all over the Dhamas. Although I guess some of them would not exactly know what was going on (because of the insufficiency of my Hindi and their English), yet they were definitely 'on the team' and they ARE forever a big part of this project.

I want to sincerely express my gratitude to all the priests and pujaris at numerous Temples and Holly Tirthas that we have visited for not forbidding us to take the pictures for maha-prasadam, blessings, encouragement and nice stories (katha).

Nityananda das Brahmacari is the sevaeet of the gorgeous Sri Sri Gour-Gadadhar Deities in the ancient and famous Champa-Hatta of Sri Navadvip. Thanks for singing Gita-Govinda and for the mercy. I look forward to seeing the www.GourGadadhar.com manifest as much as I look forward to meeting with you again soon.

I want to thank Sadananda das and the residents of the small rural vaisnava community in Central Texas. Thanks for tolerating me, for dropping at and picking up from the airport, sharing prasadam and so many other nice things you did that has hugely helped this project.

I highly appreciate the help and friendship of Prabhu-kripa das. Without his association that has been benefiting me for years now this project would also have not been possible.

Thank you all!

If you are fairly new to this and can't make a lot of sense of what is being told here, first of all you are very welcome here. I am really glad you made your way here. I am sorry if this website feels like it is somewhat for people who already have some sort of experience. It is true actually. It might not be very flexible and accommodating for new-comers, especially since this project is in a very beginning stage. However, I would like to share a few simple ideas with you now: Bhakti, loving devotional service of the Lord is just another name for what we refer to using the word 'happiness'. Of course, the word happiness does not really mean much in our day-to-day life as most of people will admit that we don't know what true happiness actually is. However, I think this is good since thus we reserve this word for a very pure and sublime substance. We do hanker and seek for the complete profound satisfaction. Since the drive for that is there in us, the pure happiness must exist. Isn't it? That pure fully satisfying happiness is just what we understand by Bhakti. The process of attaining this perfection we call Bhakti-yoga or loving service of the Lord. It is described in the ancient Bhakti-scriptures; and also the method is carefully brought down to us through the ages via the unbroken chain of disciplic succession called Parampara. We can take advantage of these two excellent sources of information. Also we can monitor our progress simply by our feeling. Aren't we supposed to feel better when we approach the state of pure and complete happiness?

I'd like to suggest and ask that you try to investigate this bhakti thing and see for yourself if my claim has any truth in it. I do claim that Bhakti means real happiness and I also want to step forward and offer you my own help in the process if you decide to try it out. Just write to me.

Also we are starting this online community, in which we have reserved a very special place for you. I hope that you will find many good friends here. As all good friends do, they will help you, and you will be able to help them as well.

For those of you who have been around and perhaps belong to different Vaisnava sangas and organizations I want to mention or may be even state here that 360darshan.com is definitely thought to be a place where every sincere soul regardless of any social or 'religious' identification is equally warmly welcomed and wanted. In case you've had a doubt about this please work it out. We will do all we can to upkeep this spirit. This is a place for brothers and sisters.
