Dolls From Mayapur
By Hrimati devi dasi
Posted January 8, 2003

Hare Krishna!

New dolls are now available at an affordable price from Gopal-Soft-Toys!

Gopal-Soft-Toys are handcrafted with love in Mayapur and are of the finest quality, made of non-fading Swiss cotton in pleasing colors and designs. These toys are stuffed with Recon non-allergenic fiber, permitting the toy be soft and at the same time to retain its shape for a very long period. We use themes from the pastimes of Gopal Krishna and Gauranga Mahaprabhu.

All dolls have detailed original markings on their hands and feet so the child can learn about them.

We feature a variety of spiritual dolls for devotees of all ages. We now make Krishna, Balaram, Radharani, Nimai, and Nitai. Each doll stands 19 inches tall and is durable and soft to the touch.

We take great care in our production, and only the best available materials are used. We do not use paint but rather embroider the face, hands, tilak, and special chest ornaments on our dolls. The embroidery is done with colorfast thread, which makes the dolls washable. The garlands and necklaces are individually matched to the different color dresses. Radharani is also available in Mahaprasadam dress from Their Lordships Sri Sri Radha Madhava. We use only pure Vrindaban Tulasi neck beads. All of our dolls have real ankle-bells and earrings. Krishna wears a peacock feather on his turban and even has a real bamboo flute.

For the safety of very young children, the earrings are removable. Children will learn during play to worship Krishna from these beautiful, educational, transcendental toys.

Make a child happy today!

We retail and wholesale. You may place a large order for your gift shop or temple. Just use the order form on our Website.

Some comments from Srila Prabhupada:

"The pancaratriki formula for training persons in devotional service is temple worship, whereby the neophytes get the opportunity to learn devotional service to the Lord. Maharaja Pariksit also used to play with Krishna dolls in his childhood. In India the children in good families are still given dolls of the Lord like Rama and Krishna, or sometimes the demigods, so that they may develop the aptitude of service to the Lord. By the grace of the Lord we were given the same opportunity by our parents, and the beginning of our life was based on this principle."— SB 3.2.2, sent to me by Kavichandra Maharaj

"Uddhava used to play with dolls in the form of Krishna, he would serve the dolls by dressing, feeding, and worshiping them, and thus he was constantly absorbed in the play of transcendental realization."

"So Mira appreciated. Her life is also very excellent. Her father gave her a small Krishna doll to play, and she developed love for Krishna as husband."

"Maharaja Pariksit, the grandson of the Pandavas, was from his very childhood a great devotee of the Lord. Even while playing with dolls, he used to worship Lord Krishna by imitating the worship of the family Deity."

Hare Krishna!

I really love your dolls, first of all. It's rare to find something that is attractive as well as durable and well-made. ... They are wonderful. One of my oldest and most cherished possessions is a little Krishna doll my parents bought me when I was two. I think you have a fabulous line of dolls and want to see lots of children growing up with them.

Haribol.

Dear Mataji:

You don't know me, but my brother, who was in India last Prabhupad's Disappearance Day, bought me a Balarama Doll from you, and I guess he showed you his small magazine, Gandiva. Anyway, I'm writing just to thank you for this wonderful service. I'm just amazed by my new Douji doll, He is SO beautiful! If someday you want to come to Brazil, please, be my guest!

This is wonderful news, devotional dolls. I will certainly buy some when we come there with my family.

Your dolls look very nice.
