Qaderi Passing
The temple devotees were saddened to hear of the passing of Mohammed Qaderi, proprietor of Qaderi's Groceries on Redwood Road. We will greatly miss his smile, handshake, and warm greeting, "Hello, my friend!"

These young ladies trying on sarees were part of a 50 member high school Krishna Temple tour group which bussed all the way from Cedar City. They stayed three hours for a guided tour, shopping, and lunch.

The kindness of a devotee who works for an airline resulted in Vaibhavi visiting the ISKCON temple in Waikiki in December. Caru leaves for India on January 2nd. He's looking forward to
spending a day or two with Binaka and Ameet Santaran
in Mumbhai before moving on to
Pandharpur, Kollam, Udupi, Mysore, and Tirupati.

Fencing Kusum Sarovar
The Kusum Sarovar lake was created in 2001
to coincide with the opening of the temple.
Though there are no combustible elements
in the building, fire code dictated there had to
be enough water available to supply 1500 gallons
a minute for 90 minutes. That equals 200,000
gallons. In the middle water is five and a half feet
high.
As long as it had to be done in order to get the
occupancy permit, we decided to make it nice.
Vaibhavi obtained rocks from Pelican Point, and
Bratt's Landscaping advised us on the preliminaries
of materials acquisition, bulldozing and preparation.
When it was their turn to come in, they kindly
worked at a discount. The lake would have cost
well over $ 50,000 to have them do it outright, but
we spent only half that amount for a beautifully
designed reservoir and waterfall.

Recently listeners of Utah's Internet Radio
Krishna were delighted to see for
the first time
titles and artists displayed by their various media
players. Indeed, the list of artists and titles extends
to almost
14,000, possibly the largest selection of
Krishna audio on the planet.
There have been many devoted
listeners
since Radio Krishna went to the internet four
years ago.
However, until yesterday, we hadn't
the technology to satisfy their
curiosity about the
titles of the songs and the artists. With the
recent
purchase of a PC server for $ 1,500.00 and with
the technical
expertise of Balarama Das, the
curiosity of listerners will no longer
go unsatisfied.
Just about all media players... read more

Govinda's Buffet
Recently. we purchased a steam table
for Govinda's Buffet which is on the
temple premises, and is open from
10 am until 7 pm daily. Oddly, on the
same day, Mina Kumar, who runs a
Spanish Fork gas station with her
husband, Raman, donated another
brand new steam table. Thus, not
one, but two steam tables came to
us in one day. These newly arrived
steam tables both enhance the looks
of the buffet as well as the number
of hot entrees we can offer.

HumorExercise for Seniors
Here is an exercise suggested for seniors,
to build muscle strength in the arms and
shoulders. It seems so easy, so I thought
I'd pass it on to some of my friends. Just
don't over-do it. Begin by standing on a
comfortable surface, where you have plenty
of room at each side. With a 5-LB. potato
sack in each hand, extend your arms straight
out from your sides, and hold them there as
long as you can. Try to reach a full minute,
then relax. Each day, you'll find that you
can hold this position for just a bit longer.
After a couple of weeks, move up to 10-LB.
potato sacks. Then 50-LB. potatoes sacks,
and eventually try to get to where you can
lift a 100-LB. potato sack in each hand and
hold your arms straight for more than a full
minute.
After you feel confident at that level, put a
potato in each of the sacks.

As the embodied soul continually
passes in this body, from boyhood
to youth, to old age, similarly, the
soul passes into another body at
the time of death. The self realized
soul is not bewildered by such a
change.
Bhagavad Gita 2/14
