Karuna Bhavan - ISKCON Scotland
Description
Welcome to Karuna Bhavan, we are the home of ISKCON (Hare Krishna Movement) here in Scotland, we are a spiritual community based in Lesmahagow, South Lanarkshire. Also we run a small but growing Eco-Farm www.facebook.com/krishnaecofarm Karuna Bhavan or 'Sanctuary of Peace’, is a space for people from all walks of life to practice a more loving and compassionate way of living. Run by the Hare Krishna community in Scotland since 1987,it is being developed as a holistic spiritual centre, to help re-establish the sacredness of life. This is done principally by following a lifestyle based on the motto of 'simple living, high thinking'.
History of the Deities
The Deities, Lord Gouranga and Lord Nityananda, also called GauraNitai were originally fashioned in New Vrindavan, West Virginia and worshipped for the first time at the Berkeley Temple in San Francisco, USA. They arrived on the auspicious day of Ram Navami at Glasgow Airport in the spring of 1996. As it was meant to be, the Customs on Glasgow Airport stamped the papers for Their official entry at sunset, the time of Lord Rama’s appearance, making Their entry all the more auspicious and special. They were then brought to Karuna Bhavan, where They have since been the presiding deities for all of Scotland.

facebook.comThis is a video of a lecture I gave about vimanas, spacecraft described in the ancient Sanskrit writings of India. Flying Vimanas, is this inspiration for current NASA technology? Many years ago, some Sanskrit documents from the 4th Century BC, which had been recovered from Lhasa, Tibet, were sent to the University of Chandrigarh where they were translated into English by no less than a certain Dr Ruth Reyna. Dr Reyna went on to claim that the documents contain instructions on how to build an aircraft with interstellar capabilities. According to Reyna, these aircraft used anti-gravitational propulsion. The document suddenly gained a lot of attention when it was announced that China would be including parts of the information for study as part of their space program. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TRAGa8eVGgw
