The Mathura Police department is now using the social media to let the public know of the good deeds done by them. Their twitter handle is ‘Mathura Police’ and it is used to keep the public in the loop for all the recent developments in the police department. Following the replacement of SP Babloo Kumar by SP Rakesh Singh, the department’s involvement in social media has significantly increased.

Not only the public, but even the senior officers receive daily updates and reports via social media. The general public is also alerting the police of any anti social activity in their area via social media. All in all, it seems like social media has proved a boon for the Mathura Police Department. We hope this initiative enhances the law and order and improves relationships between the administration and the society.

Thakur Bankey BihariJi’s Prasad will now be easily available to the devotees. The new managing committee has come up with a plan to establish kiosks in and around the Mandir to distribute the prasadam to people. A blue print is also in the pipeline for upgrading the current facilities available in the temple so that devotees are more at ease when they visit ThakurJi.

The newly formed committee seems to be doing good work right from the beginning, ever since they have taken the oath to serve ThakurJi and his devotees. Shri Rajat Goswami, the Vice President and Dinesh Goswami, a member of the committee, have been working very hard to turn the projects mentioned above into reality.

Shri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu’s adevnt to Vrindavan is set to be celebrated in all it’s glory and grandeur in the holy land of Vrindavan. Owing to the last year’s occasion of the 5^th Centennial ceremony, a pomp and elaborate celebration is lined up this year as well for the delight of all Krishna Bhakts!

Graced by the presence of Mr. Pranab Mukherjee, the honourable President of India last year, the immense response has urged the devotees to bring together yet another event to commemorate the event of the incarnation of Krishna discovering Vrindavan. Expect the same energy and enthusiasm as the last year’s celebration!

This year, this celebration will take place on the banks of the Yamuna, at Imtitala from 16^th October to 14^th November. During this month long celebration, there will be Gouranga Lila in the mornings, performed by troupes of Padmashree Swami HargovindaJi.

Mahaprabhu’s teachings will be discussed in the afternoons and in the evenings there will be Mahanam Sankeertan. The devotees are very excited and they have also organized a ‘bus yatra’. This bus will take the devotees to Puri and come back to Vrindavan via the same route which Mahaprabhu followed to get to Vrindavan.

This event is set to be organized by Shri Goudiya Sangh, Shri Vraja Saraswat Goudiya Vaishnav Sangh and Shri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu Aagaman Panshati Samaroh Samiti.

Good news for Vrindavan residents! Possibilities are being explored to introduce eco efficient technology for sewerage recycling in Vrindavan! A team of two people have recently visited Vrindavan to study the sewerage treatment process that is in place in the city right now. They belong to an organization called World Water Works and were invited to Vrindavan by the group Friends of Vrindavan.

The World Water Works organization is a manufacturer of specialized process and waste water treatment technologies that focus on performance, flexibility and longevity. These machines are basically designed to yield clean water and recover energy and also achieve other resource recovery.

The motto of the company happens to be that one need not look anywhere else for alternate sources of energy than our waste water. The inspectors visited 18 such sites where drains flow into the Yamuna River. They were accompanied by Shri P. Niroop, the additional advocate general of Meghalaya.

They also visited some ashrams of Vrindavan and Gokul to see how feasible it would be to introduce the eco efficient technology of sewer treatment in the ashrams. This new technology will be very beneficial for the ashrams as the technology will generate its own electricity from the sewer water to recycle the sewer water into clean water.

Later, the team also met Shri Chandra Prakash Singh, the vice chairman of the MVDA or Mathura Vrindavan Development Authority to update him on how the sewerage treatment technology works.
