During the month of Kartik, many devotees assemble from various parts of the world to Vrindavan in order to recharge their spiritual battery. Parikrama allows an opportunity for devotees to nourish their bhakti through the medium of visiting various places of pastimes of the Lord, hearing of those pastimes from senior devotees and serving the vaisnavas. With this in mind, HH Subhag Swami Maharaj organised a series of programs in different places across Vraj

Sri Govind Gau Gram Prachar Yatra BEGINS

Inauguration Report

His Divine Grace A.C. Bhakti Vedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada’s (Founder-Acarya of International Society for Krishna Consciousness) first step on the soil of Boston in 1966 proved to be more revolutionary than the much-dramatised first step of man on Moon. He inundated almost the complete world in the nama rasa of the Supreme Lord. Even in the land of su

They wear special cloth, prepare foods only eaten on these rare days, and congregate in mass around a few exceptional people that are taking part in a ceremony lasting over 3 hours. All the while they chant two and three word phrases together in cadence, which creates and encourages a collectively desired experience.

I remember 4 years ago, when we first began regular harinama’s at the football games. A rag/tag group of us led by me, a 2 year old bhakta at the time, were ch

On the 21th October 2015 we set off from Bhaktivedanta Manor with two vehicles loaded with Prasad and provisions such as sleeping bags, tents, clothes etc. We were heading to a place called the ” Jungle “, just outside of, Calais in France, where there were 6,000 refugees struggling to survive in the worst conditions imagable.

After a short ferry crossing we arrived at the refugee camp. It was raining, mud everywhere, people were wandering around aimlessly, desperation on their

For the world, America is the land of Hollywood, Disneyland, Wall Street and the arena for fulfilling “the American dream.” For Americans, it’s the “Land for the free and the home for the brave.” However, for me, like many Indians, it had been for years the land of higher studies. Some twenty years ago, I had desired, as do many Indians, to go to the US for higher studies. And I had been well on course to going there, having done well in GRE (Graduate Record Examination),

The IARC report declared red meat such as beef, lamb and

Over the last century natural calamities comprising geological, hydrological, meteorological, health and space disasters have been significantly increasing in both, their frequency and ferocity. Natural disasters are a display of an awesome power immensely and fearfully greater than the human. They jolt us out of our complacent routines and impel us to think: Why do such natural disasters occur? What should we do at such times? How to prevent such recurrence? 

According to the exemplary spiritual

If you ever desire to cross over this ocean of material existence and achieve the lotus feet of Supreme Lord Sri Hari then please take shelter of Srimad Bhagavatam, the mature fruit of the desire tree of Vedic literatures.Srimad Bhagavatam is declared to be the essence of all Vedanta philosophy. One who has felt satisfaction from its nectarean mellows will never be attracted to any other literature. Srila Vyasadev collected whatever Vedic conclusions were in the four Vedas and 108 Upanishads an

Q. Does the name “Qohelet” mean something?

A. The name “Qohelet” is generally held to come from a Hebrew root meaning “to assemble” or “to gather.” And so “Qohelet” is often thought of as a leader of an assembly. Translators have called him “the Speaker,” “the Teacher,” “the Philosopher,” “the Debater,” “the Preacher,” and so on. The list of choices is long.

The Glories of Kartik Month

2515035775?profile=original

One of the most important of these ceremonial functions is called Urja-vrata. Urja-vrata is observed in the month of Karttika (October-November); especially in Vrndavana, there is a specific program for temple worship of the Lord in His Damodara form. “Damodara” refers to Krsna’s being bound with rope by His mother, Yasoda. It is said that just as Lord Damodara is very dear to His devotees, so the month known as Damodara or Karttika is also very dear to them.

Mukunda Swami’s health update.

Mukunda Swami’s health update. Dear Devotees, Mukunda Maharaja is doing well and is scheduled for heart bypass surgery today or tomorrow. His hip surgery will be two to three days after that. The surgeon is very confident of a full recovery so our grave concerns of yesterday for him have been lifted enormously. I am sure this is due to the worldwide prayers from you. We read some messages to Maharaja from Godbrothers and sisters, disciples and well-wishers and he was pleased to hear them. Many New Govardhana devotees have expressed the desire to visit Maharaja and he has asked if you could please hold off until after some recovery time from both operations. Kk, Visnujana and Madana Mohana Prabhus are taking care of his personal needs and liaising with the medical staff. Please continue your prayers for Mukunda Maharaja for his safe and speedy recovery. Thank you so much.
