Dolls

---------------------------

Beautiful Krishna, Radha, Nrisimhadeva And An Assortment of Dolls of

Devotion

by Rukmini dasi

 

Posted on Chakra November 17, 2006

 

I have just added the dolls that I have been making for the last several

years to be sold on Natural Nirvana.com (www.naturalnirvana.com). A list of

the dolls on Natural Nirvana can be found at this link:

store.naturalnirvana.com/vegogodo.html Order directly from Rukmini by

contacting her at: rukeezgoodeez or (352)317-1908

 

We make these dolls for people of all ages - from new born babies to

grandparents and everyone in between. Our goal is to connect you to Krishna

and his associates in a personal way- by praying to, hugging, talking to

,caring for, crying with, and even taking shelter of these dolls. How much I

wish I had a Krishna doll when I was growing up to share my feelings. I

invite you all to experience how fulfilling it is to own our Dolls of

Devotion. They include Radha and Krishna , both smiling and angry

Nrisimhadevas, Jagannatha, and many more.

 

About the creator- My mother Sevya Dasi is a sincere devotee of Srila

Prabhupada. She served as purjari of Lord Jagannatha in the Los Angeles New

Dvarka Temple for seven years. As well as being their head pujari, she made

all their outfits . Having years of experience has helped her in designing

all of our dolls and their outfits. We have Maha deity outfits that my

mother remakes for our Doll's outfits. She is very diligent in making sure

we make first class, quality dolls. We want them to last for generations.

Our dolls are signed , numbered, and dated for authenticity and ,of course,

collectible.

 

A few words from Sevya Dasi : " I make these dolls because It gives me

satisfaction. While making their spiritual forms I spend my time thinking

about Krishna's pastimes and get attached to them. My goal is to keep making

these Dolls of Devotion for the rest my life , because they help me to

develop love for my spiritual master, Srila Prabhupada, and Krishna. These

beautiful dolls are made of durable poly/cotton blend fabric, poly stuffed,

and stitched with double seams. They are hand painted with fabric paint.

They are easy to clean with a little water and baking soda. They are unique,

one of a kind dolls and are entirely handmade with love.

Testimonials

 

Syama, age 20 says: I have childhood memories dressed as a gopi cooking for

my baby Krishna Doll. There have been times where I have been so sick in

bed, with him laying by my side, knowing that Krishna is always with me.

Twelve years later and my baby Krishna Doll still sleeps next to me.

 

Mallika (daughter), age 19 says: To anyone who has sleeping problems, I

encourage you to get a Nrisimhadeva Doll. For years I struggled with fear. I

had nightmares so it would take me hours to fall asleep. The Nrisimhadeva

Dolls my mother made helped me to feel secure and protected. I was able to

overcome many of my fears. I am glad to know that the children that have my

mothers dolls are so happy. My mother and Grandmother have continued their

service for what it seems my whole life. I know that Krishna is very pleased

with their service.

 

Mohini Murti(daughter), age 16 says: My favorite doll has always been my

Radharani doll. When I was little she always gave me the feeling of comfort

and protection. I would carry her around everywhere I could. In a sense she

was like another mother or friend. When my mother couldn't be there to

comfort me she always gave me that security a child needs. I loved the

experience of having her and hope that other children will have the same

experience too.

 

Father Satya Dasa and Mother Anutara Dasi from Costa Rica gave their son

Nitai ,(a Krishna Doll) on his second birthday. Upon receiving Krishna , he

started dancing and taking Him all over the house. He showed his new born

brother Hari his Krishna Doll. Nitai wanted a blanket to put his Krishna to

sleep. He wants to change His clothes every night and every morning. He says

" Krishna is hungry, I need to give him food and milk to drink." He sits him

at his table and feeds him. He helps his father to make chapatis and says,

"this chapati is for Krishna!" When he sits down to paint, he sits his

Krishna next to him so they can paint together. He takes Krishna for a train

ride around the house everyday . Assistant Artist Jahnava Devi Dasi says:

For six years, our Hanuman doll has been an important stabilizing presence

in our home. On his sitting place situated between two bookcases exclusively

full of all of Srila Prabhupada's original books and an altar to the

maha-mantra, he appears as their great protector with his wide lotus eyes.

When we have Bhagavad-gita class, I feel very happy that Hanuman is present

to also hear our class since he personally resided on Arjuna's flag as it

was originally being spoken. I am privileged to have been involved with

Rukmini's doll project, helping her in various ways over the years and

watching the project grow into the varnashrama cottage industry it was

intended to be by Srila Prabhupada.

 

Krsna Dhama from Alachua says: I recently bought a Nrisimhadeva doll for my

daughter Krishangi. Growing up, I had seen lots of children with them, but

had never had a chance to own one myself. I knew that I wanted my children

to grow up playing with such dolls. A lot of children that I had seen with

the dolls had them nicely on stands. I wanted my daughter to be able to

interact daily with her Nrisimhadeva, so I decided not to get a stand. My

daughter has developed a very special relationship with her Nrisimhadeva

doll. She won't sleep or travel without Him. Once, we were going on a family

vacation, and, half-an-hour into the trip, she remembered that she had

forgotten Him. She flipped out and made us turn around to get Him. Thank God

we were only half-an-hour away! She also has a rigid schedule for her

Nrisimhadeva, including getting up, feeding, playing, going to school, and

going to sleep. He takes naps during the day too. While He is napping, she

guards against anyone making too much noise that might wake Him up.. When we

tried to explain to her that Nrisimhadeva is not a baby, she replied, "Well,

He isn't any different from Damodara" . I can go on forever talking about

her rasa with him.

 

I feel, and I can speak for my daughter as well, that her Nrsimhadeva doll

has been the best gift she has ever gotten. I plan to buy more such dolls

for her and for my new son. I like seeing my children growing up with

Krishna conscious dolls. It beats any stuffed Disney character doll.

 

Syamalangi Devi Dasi says : Congratulations! It is a beautiful way to engage

our children. My experience with the Krishna Dolls, is very interesting. My

daughter has established a devotional relationship with her dolls.

 

Thank You for your dedication in this project that helps with the spiritual

education of our children.

 

Amina Boussemha age 8, Alachua FL says: When I first got the Gaura Nitai

dolls I felt happy. They are very beautiful. They are nice to play with.

With the new Prabhupada doll we played like Prabhupada was here and that he

was chanting Jaya Radha Madhava and that he was giving class. Thank you

mother Rukmini for making these dolls.

 

Vaishnavi Devi Dasi says: At one festival, my son was drawn to Rukmini's

beautiful devotional table and was spell bound .when he saw a Lord

Nrisimhadeva doll he immediately held Him and begged me to bring Him home.

Since I got the doll of the Lord for him he has been chanting Lord

Nrisimhadeva's prayers about 5 times a day, shows him to whomever comes to

the house and talks of His pastimes continuously. This is the best thing I

could ever do to fan the flame of his natural love for the Lord in this

form. I am ever-grateful to Rukmini Devi for this valuable service which

fosters the growth of bhakti within the heart of our devotee children in a

way that is natural and easy for them. Thank You.
