Video Presentations on Science of Krishna Consciousness "The Mysterious Origins of Man" by Sadaputa Das:
will be screening again on Sunday, October 5, at 6:45pm
Dear Devotees and Friends,
Please accept our humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
Last Thursday, 18th September, Sadaputa Prabhu, author of Forbidden Archaeology, Alien Identities, Hidden History of the Human Race and Mechanistic and Nonmechanistic Science (and many more publications), left his material body. In his lifetime Sadaputa Prabhu wrote many books explaining the Krsna conscious philosophy to scientific and academic communities and produced numerous videos depicting the workings of the universe according to the knowledge of the Vedas.
In honour of the many devotional works of Sadaputa Prabhu, New Govardhana will be screening his videos every Sunday for the next few weeks in the temple-room. The first of these videos will be shown this coming Sunday- 28th September. Its title is The Mysterious Origins of Man in which Sadaputa Prabhu and Drutakarma Prabhu, both Srila Prabhupada's disciples, present startling archaeological discoveries that refute popular beliefs about the history of our Earth, including its inhabitants. This video presentation went to air in the USA in the 1990s, causing many academics to contact the television station to enquire further about the presenters and the sources of their information. Other presenters in this video include Graham Hancock, author of Fingerprints of the Gods and similar books addressing the controversies surrounding the history of our Earth.
We strongly encourage all devotees and guests to attend these screenings, in order to benefit from Sadaputa's and other devotees' insightful and expert manner in which to explain the science of Krsna consciousness. Screenings will begin in the temple-room after prasadam each Sunday at approx. 6.45 pm. Hare Krsna!

About Yadubara Prabhu:
Yadubara Das met Srila Prabhupada in India in 1970 while working on his masters degree in photography on the subject of the origins of Krishna consciousness. He received initiation from His Divine Grace in 1971 and stayed in India with his wife Visakha Dasi helping develop ISKCON centers in Bombay, Calcutta and Delhi. In 1973 they returned to the US to begin production of ISKCON's first documentary film "The Hare Krishna People" and went on to produce 8 more documentaries. Yadubara Das has continued working in film and video and is currently producing the 11 part DVD series "Following Srila Prabhupada" which contains all the films of Srila Prabhupada and ISKCON activities from 1965 to 1977 with commentary by those who were there. Yadubara das was inspired by the kirtans organized by Tamal Krishna Goswami in Mayapur in March of 2003 and has since been leading kirtan in his home community of Saranagati and wherever he travels.
