Classic ISKCON Tapes #2 – Delhi Aratika

Haribol!

In the late 70’s and early 80s, ISKCON released a 20 tape series of kirtans and bhajans. As far as I know, none of these were released on any of the classic ISKCON records. Neither have they been released to CD.

I’ll be posting one each Saturday. And this week’s is Delhi Aratika!

Delhi Aratika claims to be produced by “Golden Avatar Productions.” I have no idea who Golden Avatar Productions was, but their name was on some vinyl as well. Also I believe there was a Golden Avatar cassette series, but I can’t remember. This is the only “Krishna Tapes” series that is associated with Golden Avatar Productions.

I think I’ll post a Golden Avatar Productions LP next Ekadasi. Hey, why not?

There are no credits on any of the tapes. And often, the title of the tape reflects only what’s on one side. For example, this is called Delhi Aratika, but some of the songs may have been produced somewhere else. Who knows.

Anyway, here it is…

05 – Golden Avatar Productions – Kirtana
06 – Golden Avatar Productions – Delhi Aratika


Some caveats: The sound quality isn’t great. These are from old tapes recorded by devotees. Quality wasn’t a priority. Also, they’re MP3s encoded at 128kbs – not the highest quality. But listenable.

Here’s a list of all the tapes…

I don’t even know what to say about this…

I just read a news report… It’s messed up. Big time.

Apparently a mother of an 8 year old met a “devotee” named Jamuna at an ISKCON (?) center in Boulder, CO. She would then meet this guy in a public place so that she could give her daughter to him so they (Jamuna and her daughter) could have sleep overs.

He sexually assaulted her and drank her urine, molested her and slept naked with her. Oh, and he told her not to tell.

But she told her mother anyway. However, the mother “didn’t think it was a problem as long as it was touching and not sex, the warrant said. The mother said she’s a nudist and knows other people who drink urine.”

The the hell?

Link to article and another. (careful, it’s a little graphic)

It doesn’t look like this Jamuna guy even claims to be a devotee. Probably just someone who comes for the free food and to meet people (VERY unfortunately).
