Hare Krishna - WECAN (West and Central Auckland Namahatta) preaching programs began on 19th April 2002 the appearance day of our Father, Sri Dinesh T Desai from our home in Auckland, New Zealand. In December of 2002 His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada being very merciful on us, the most fallen souls, sent a very personal servant, His Holiness Srila Mahavishnu Goswami Maharaj, Srila Gurudeva (ISKCON - Dwarka & Rajkot) to Auckland to save us from the repeated cycle of birth and death. On 28th December 2002 our life changed forever when Guru Maharaj, our eternal father, our life and soul gave us shelter and accepted us as disciples in Wellington, New Zealand. Thus bringing us in to the fold of Gaudiya Vaishnava Sampradaya (Disciplic succession coming down from Lord Krsna).
(Chaitanya Charitamrita Madhya Lila 19.151)
brahmända bhramite kona bhägyavän jiva
guru-krsna-prasäde päya bhakti-latä-bija
Translation: Srila Prabhupada ki jai!
“According to their karma, all living entities are wandering throughout the entire universe. Some of them are being elevated to the upper planetary systems, and some are going down into the lower planetary systems. Out of many millions of wandering living entities, one who is very fortunate gets an opportunity to associate with a bona fide spiritual master by the grace of Krsna. By the mercy of both Krsna and the spiritual master, such a person receives the seed of the creeper of devotional service."
A brief note:
- We arrived (migrated) in Auckland, New Zealand from India in November 2001. When we decided to migrate to New Zealand, I (Ambarisa Dasa) knew we are coming to New Zealand for our spiritual progress. And we indeed found valuable time in New Zealand to pursue Krishna Consciousness. In India we were very successful materially but were struggling for time to pursue this journey. I was introduced to Krishna Consciousness as I was very young 6-7 years of age and was staying near ISKCON Juhu Temple and would visit the Temple whenever I could. Later, I had a friend who used to go to the Temple regularly. I later met devotees of ISKCON Chowpatty while at work and was invited to Festivals and Home programs. I had a deep desire that devotees should consider me their friend.
We visited ISKCON Auckland Temple within one month of our arriving in Auckland. As we started to visit the Temple regularly, we found that there was no systematic system of teaching/training Krishna Consciousness. There were nice devotees and would answer our questions but nothing after that. After some months, one evening we invited these devotees to our Home for a meeting and I (Ambarisa Dasa) informed them that you were all like islands, each separate from the other. And when I asked one of you questions - you would answer, but nothing thereafter, no follow-up. (I was ready to dedicate my life this movement, but there was no enthusiasm from the devotees to help me take the next step). So I want to start a preaching program of my own where Krishna Consciousness would be taught systematically, in a step by step manner to new people who come. That is the whole purpose and mood behind starting our then Namahatta Home preaching program from Friday 19th April 2002. After much waiting for HG Prana Prabhu to become available to start giving the classes at our home, seeing my frustration, one devotee told me that don’t ask and don’t wait, just start the program and they will come. That’s how during one Sunday Feast, I informed devotees that I am starting the program and they are all invited. And that is how our Home Program started. Initially the classes were undertaken by HG Prana Dasa (Head Master of Hare Krishna School, Auckland) along with HG Krsnendu Dasa (Teacher in the school). Later after our initiation, I started to give classes myself, after doing self study under the guidance of Srila Gurudeva.
- In 2003, we formally requested and we started the Sunday Love Feast Serving & Cleaning Service regularly in Srila Prabhupada's ISKCON Auckland Temple. (Before that form 2002 we are doing this service individually, informally).
- Under the careful guidance of Srila Gurudeva, the programs continued every Saturday evening. Then in 2004 we started weekly Wednesday evening programs for new devotees joining our group. And in 2006 by the extreme causeless mercy of Srila Gurudeva, we started the Mantra Meditation programs initially on Thursday evenings then moved to Monday evenings at an hired venue to reach out to people from different ethnicity and communities.
- In 2006, Hare Krishna - WECAN were formally requested by Srila Prabhupada's ISKCON Auckland Temple to perform important services in all important festivals of Sri Gaura Purnima, Sri Krsna Janmashtami, Sri Radhashtami & other festivals. Our services include Buying Flowers & Paraphernalia - making Garlands - making Bouquets - Decorating Temple Room - Putting up Bouqets - Decorating Srila Prabhupada Altar and for many years Decorating the Deities Altar.
- As from 8th May 2010, our home preaching programs are being conducted every Saturday evening at a hired venue in the New Lynn Community Centre, Auckland & the Mantra Meditation programmes are conducted every alternate Monday evening's at the same venue.

- On 19.2.2019 (a day after Lord Nityananda Trayodashi) by the extreme causeless mercy of Srila Gurudeva, Maharaja arranged for us to purchase Their Lordships Sri Sri Gaura Nitai (Utsav Deities) for Hare Krishna - WECAN pograms. Whom we named Sri Sri Nitai Gaura Chandra.

Wherein, looking at the coming influx of Robotics in our daily lives, we prayed to Srila Prabhupada for giving us blessings and strength to carry Srila Prabhupada's message of Srimad Bhagavad Gita (As It Is) and Granthraj Srimad Bhagavatam to ordinary people (for our benefit). Although, part of this was inaugurated in 2018 on my request by Sanjeev Saini Prabhu. This program was formalised today, after presentation and discussion in the Serious Devotees Program and Intermediate Devotees Program during our Saturday Hare Krishna - WECAN program on 14th September 2019 (Special Program 8pm-9pm).
- By Srila Gurudeva's Extreme Causeless Mercy, as from the Gaura Purnima Festival Day on 10.3.2020.
