On September 28, 2004, popular online teacher Caitanya Chandra Dasa will be launching a study group on Vedanta Philosophy according to the teachings of Srila Prabhupada.
“In this course, we will study Vedanta philosophy from the Vaishnava perspective, including the Vedanta-sutra, based on the Govinda Bhasya of Srila Baladeva Vidyabhusana and the different Upanisads,” said Caitanya Chandra Dasa. “As far as I know, it’s the first time in ISKCON that such a course has been offered.”

Rather, His main objective was to emancipate all living entities of all countries throughout the entire universe and preach the eternal dharma. Lord Chaitanya states in Sri Caitanya-bhagavata, ‘In every town, country, and village My name will be sung.’ There is no doubt that this unquestionable order will come to pass… . Although there is still no pure society of Vaishnavas, Lor

ISKCON Lisbon, a community with deep roots in the Portuguese capital, is steadily growing, with a strong influx of young people. Many are drawn by the dynamic programs that blend traditional Krishna Conscious practices with modern outreach methods. But facing the potential loss of its current space and the absence of a permanent temple for over four decades, the dynamic community is now appealing to the international Krishna Conscious community for help.

A mist had set in. A chipmunk scrambled along the log, then disappeared. Blue jays were heard from a distance. Two hawks soared above. And a ball of quills, an actual porcupine chewing on something right on our trail the BLT Trail, stepped aside as the six of us trekked along. It was slow with its movement compared to our spriteful strides.

In a recent interview with the GBC Strategic Planning Team, Sesa Prabhu, my father, spoke about ksatriya training. I found the letter that was referred to in the interview which he wrote to Jagadish Maharaj on the topic in 1983. Being an educator myself, I found this a relevant subject to today’s world in ISKCON and want to put it forth for publication on Dandavats.

Date: 11th September 2024
Sri Radhashtami, the festival celebrating the appearance of Srimati Radharani, is coming up on September 11th. Srimati Radharani is the pleasure potency of Sri Krishna, and without Her mercy, one cannot approach Madhava. As Srila Prabhupada reminds us in His Radhashtami lecture, “Krishna is difficult to approach directly, but He is bhakta-vatsala, always eager to please His devotees.

There are 3 energies affecting us all
As real and organic as nature’s call
They are at play practically all the time
Like wind, rain, moon, and sunshine
They influence our mood, action, and thought
If we analyze them it can help us a lot
Let us explore the names of these energies
And come to grips with their bold tendencies
The first one is SATTVA, its Sanskrit name
It is positive power we should welcome and aim
The special feature here is to be very mindful
Sensitive, patient, rational, thought
