I e-mailed Miracle Gro and asked them what ingredients are in their plant food and what their source is. I also asked them if any animal products are in the product. We'll see what response I get, if any. Thank you for the replies concerning this.

Hare Krishna Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. I have a question about taking care of Tulasi. Can you use Miracle Gro on her? Someone I know does, but it doesn't seem right to me. Does anyone know anything about this?

We have Panca Tattva in the center, Jaganatha, Baladeva and lady Subhadra on the deities left and Srila Prabhupada and Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati on the deities right. There is also a small Gaura Nitai right underneath the center of Panca Tattva.

Hare Krishna I am looking for a Harmonium. I cannot pay much, but maybe someone has a used one they would like to sell? I am in Southern California. Thank you!

It was mentioned in the story about the devotees being rescued in New Orleans something about news reporters coming with the devotees. Does anyone know where the reporters were from? Hare Krishna

Is that a serious question?

I think. I was watching Fox news last night and I swear that I saw a devotee in the footage for a brief second. It was from behind and I saw a sika (sp?). I never saw that shot again, but the person I saw was loading up one of those bins everyone is pushing around in the water. I was wondering about the deities. From the looks of it, they are made out of marble? I don't know how they could get them out of there? They must be So heavy and they are wading through sometimes more than waist deep water. My thoughts and prayers are with the devotees and deities ofNew Orleans.

In Laguna Beach, we are celebrating it on Friday night.

How Exciting! I went to the temple for the first time 2 years ago for Janmastami, and have been back every week since! I would just advise the same as everyone else, don't wear anything revealing, no tank tops or anything. Like the others said, it is our biggest celebration, so be ready to have a good time, dance, and feast for Krishna's appearance day! Find someone friendly and maybe you can ask them any questions yo have about the temple, or if you are going with someone who goes, ask them. Have a great time and please come back and tell us how it was! Hare Krishna

I will try and find out about that. If anyone else has any work, r suggestions, please continue to bring them on! Hare Krishna

I don't have the funds necessary to do it right now. It is super expensive here and I need to get a job so I can make some money to pay our rent and my car payment. So thats why I cannot do it right now.

I am an at home devotee mom who needs a job and would prefer to work for a devotee owned company. Are there any companies or persons who need help, preferably something I could do from home? I am in Southern California. I have proficient computer skills and am a fast learner. Hare Krishna

...that you are looking way too deep into any response I had. I simply asked why you thought that I was not going to pay employees. I was not being negative, actually, you were. But I am not going to engage in back and forth with you about whethre I was or not. yes I do want to do this, and yes I can cook.

Why would you think that I don't want to pay them? I never said that. Of course I would pay them. You cannot expect someone to be able to devote themselves to working in a restaurant in a beach town, not get paid and be able to pay their bills. When I said I didn't have the money, I was speaking about starting the business itself, not paying employees. Even if I did have to employ Karmis, I would make sure they were vegetarian at least, and they would likely work in the front and not cook the prasadam. That would be done by a devotee for sure and also the offering would be done by a devotee, obviously. Why did you say also that it was not meant to be?

I know it would be a lot of hard work, but to be able to distribute Prasadam to karmis here in our town would be great. We never have Harinam here or anything like that, so it would be so nice. I was also envisioning a nice gift area, with prabhupada's books and some little things people like to buy from India. We get so many tourists in the summer time and surf contests also that bring in so many people. I know that there is not one single vegetarian indian restaurant in the area also. Many serve vegetarian dishes, but they also serve meat. (yuck!) I really appreciate all the input, if anyone wants to keep adding ideas PLEASE DO! I am in ecstasy hearing all of this! Hare Krishna!!!!!!!!
