After he arrived in America, in September of 1965, Srila Prabhupada stayed at a family’s apartment in Butler, Pennsylvania, nest at an impersonalist yogi’s asrama in uptown Manhattan, and then in a tint room on Seventy-second Street. By March of 1966, a few young people were coming to hear him speak, but his circumstances were still humble: he had seen no real breakthrough in his work to spread Krsna consciousness. When a thief made off with what little he had, Srila

(Kadamba Kanana Swami, 04 October 2009, Durban, South Africa, Lecture)

We cannot be on automatic pilot; we must capture Krsna by making a special sacrifice! Then, when we have captured Krsna, we see that one cannot keep Krsna also. Mother Yasoda captured Krsna and Krsna was not only bound by Mother Yasoda’s ropes but Krsna was bound by Mother Yasoda’s love.

When Krsna was eleven years old, then Akrura came and Akrura took Krsna away from Vrndavana. From that day on, the residents lived in separ

The special status of cows and the benefits of caring for them are found throughout the scriptures. All the demigods reside in the body of the cow and the cow is considered divine due to the presence of these divinities in her body. Further, cows are very dear to Lord Krsna.

He says, “I can be worshipped within the Cows by offering

Mother India in Ruins: A Foreigner’s Shocking Account of India’s Holiest City

I was born in Canada as the only child of Hindu parents who taught me the spiritual value of simple living and high thinking. We had never went on family vacations together or spent money frivolously. In fact, we never did anything without a clear purpose. I had visited India a couple of times before to see family: once with my mom to meet her side, and once with my dad to meet his s

Hare Krsna,

Please accept my humble obeisances, all glories to Srila Prabhupada!

September was a good month, as always, thanks to all the sincere book distributors worldwide.

a) supremacy of Bhakti over all other yoga processes.

b) importance of Guru and initiation in our life.
