Dear devotees,
With a heavy heart, we share that at 8:34 PM Mountain Time this evening, at the hospital in Salt Lake City, we said goodbye to our beloved Agnidev Prabhu.
He was surrounded by a room full of devotees, with 99 devotees joined on Zoom—godbrothers, godsisters, senior devotees, and well-wishers.

The Saint in the Streets: Honoring the Disappearance of Sri Jayananda Prabhu
The global ISKCON community pauses to honor the disappearance day of one of its most beloved pioneers: Sri Jayananda Prabhu.
While many of the great acharyas we celebrate appeared centuries ago in the sacred land of India, Jayananda Prabhu’s story took place in the modern West. Yet, his pure devotion, unmatched humility, and absolute surrender to his spiritual master, His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada
The Supreme Lord appeared as Narasimha to protect His dear devotee Prahlada from the persecutions of his demoniac father, Hiranyakashipu.
By performing severe penances, Hiranyakashipu had received a benediction from Lord Brahma that he could not be killed by any living entity created by Brahma (whether demigod, demon, human being, or animal), within or outside a residence, during the day or at night, on the land or in the sky, by any weapon and from any entity – dead or alive.

Prabhupada: So today, appearance day of Lord Nrisimhadeva. Lord Nrisimhadeva appeared on this Nrisimha Caturdasi on account of His devotee, Prahlada. As it is stated in the Bhagavad-gita, yada yada hi dharmasya glanir bhavati bharata, abhyutthanam adharmasya [Bg. 4.7]. Paritranaya sadhunam vinasaya ca dushkritam, sambhavami yuge yuge [Bg. 4.8]. The Lord appears with two purposes. Paritranaya sadhunam: just to give protection an
On May 1, 1977, the day before the festival honoring the appearance of Lord Nrisimha, Srila Prabhupada’s dear disciple Jayananda Dasa passed from this world.
Shortly thereafter, Srila Prabhupada wrote in a letter, “Jayananda’s death is glorious. . . . He has left his body very wonderfully, and he has been transferred to Vaikuntha. . . . Everyone should follow the example of Jayananda. I am very proud that I had such a nice disciple. If possible Jayananda’s picture should be hung in the ratha [f
“My Dear Jayananda,
Please accept my blessings.
I am feeling very intensely your separation. In 1967 you joined me in San Francisco. You were driving my car and chanting Hare Krsna. You were the first man to give me some contribution ($5000) for printing my Bhagavad-gita. After that, you have rendered very favorable service to Krsna in different ways. I so hope at the time of your death you were remembering Krsna and as such, you have been promoted to the eternal association of Krsna…as you wer
In this lecture, Guru Prasad Swami Maharaj explains the famous verse from Chapter 8 of the Bhagavad-gita: “Whatever state of being one remembers at the time of death, that state one attains in the next life.” He teaches that a person’s consciousness at death determines the next destination. If one remembers Krishna at the final moment, one can attain a divine spiritual state. If the mind is absorbed in material thoughts, one remains bound to material existence.
He gives the example of Maharaja B
In this talk, HG Amogh Lila Prabhu explains that the real strength of any company, organization, or family is not money, technology, or buildings, but people. Human beings should not be treated merely as “resources,” but with dignity, care, and respect. He says people usually do not leave organizations—they leave bad bosses or unhealthy relationships. Therefore, managing relationships is essential.
He explains that IQ (Intelligence Quotient) alone is not enough for success, because intelligent p

Devotees are requested to please offer prayers for Agnidev Das and to share this message with others.

By Kulavati Krishnapriya Devi Dasi,
Some journeys begin with certainty while others begin with questions that refuse to be silenced—and for Ujjvala Radhe Devi Dasi, known professionally as Dr. Uma Pallavi Pothu, it was the latter.
What began as a sincere search for answers has blossomed into a life of extraordinary purpose, where intellect, faith, and service meet with compelling strength. Today, as a psychologist, author, Bhakti Shastri teacher, and counselor at ISKCON Hyderabad, she has spen
Hare Krishna Dear Devotees & Well-wishers,
Please accept our humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada!
As we continue through the sacred days of Narasimha Navaratri, the anticipation is building with just **2 days remaining** before the divine appearance of **Sri Narasimhadeva**, the protector of the universe.
Yesterday, April 27th, was truly unforgettable…
The beginning of the Sri Lakshmi Narasimhadeva Parikrama was simply magical as the Lord rode on His Simha Vahana.
As the Lord ca
Within the last two days there was incredible weather change. Such is April. From a snow blizzard of yesterday to the current light rain upon the green grasses, my body adjusts.
Mostly I stayed under the shelter of the temple. Annually a group of us come together to discuss how we are doing with our mission. Under the heading ITSO (ISKCON Temples of Southern Ontario) sixteen reps came from the various centres to learn, love and lean on each other for mutual support. Topics covered was the lau
Today is Rukmini-dvadasi, the appearance day of Srimati Rukmini-devi. There have been wonderful festivities all day, beginning with the special darshan of the Deities in Their flower outfits, and just now a wonderful abhiseka. During the abhiseka I really felt like I was in Vrindavan. There was so much devotion, spontaneous devotion—every time the pujaris poured another substance on the Deities, there would be gasps and cries of ecstasy and approval. It was really wonderful. And that is life in
On 16th March 2026, Sahibabad witnessed a historic milestone—the grand inauguration of the ISKCON Sahibabad temple, where Lord Jagannath, Baladeva, and Subhadra were installed amidst Vedic rituals, ecstatic kirtans, and the heartfelt devotion of thousands.
This is one of the twenty ISKCON temples within the Delhi region.

This year’s annual 12-Day Matching Fundraiser is focused on helping to open the Temple of the Vedic Planetarium on Srila Prabhupada’s 50th Disappearance Anniversary, November 1, 2027.

Her Grace Saudamini Devi Dasi, a beloved disciple of Srila Prabhupada and the wife of Ravindra Svarupa Prabhu, passed away in the sacred dhama of Sridham Mayapur, at approximately 1:00 AM IST on April 26, 2026. In Philadelphia, she departed during yesterday’s 8 hour kirtan.
After more than fifty years of dedicated service in the West, she and her husband moved to Mayapur in 2024 to spend their final years in the spiritual atmosphere of Lord Caitanya’s birthplace.
For decades, from the early 197
