About a thousand bhaktas of Vrindavan took a processi
Kadamba Kanana Swami shocked me today, telling me just after I finished japa, that Aindra Prabhu had just left his body in Vrindavana. How unexpected! How sad for the devotees who love his kirtanas and his association!
I had just been thinking of my association with him this week when I was in Zurich. I met one harinama enthusiast there, who aspired to become his disciple, and so I was recalling my brief exchanges with him.
In 2005, I was part of Aindra Prabhu’s 24-hour kir

His Grace Aindra Prabhu Attains the Spiritual Realm With extreme anguish we inform the devotees of the disappearance of His Grace Aindra Prabhu on the night of July 16, 2010. He was alone in his room worshiping His beloved Deities when apparently there was a gas leak from his cylinder. Some devotees heard a sound and there was some smell, but no

Our first business is this book distribution. There is no need of any other business. If this book distribution is managed properly, pushed on with great enthusiasm and determination and at the same time if our men keep spiritually strong, then the whole world will become Krishna conscious.

Hari Bol Devotees,
This evening at 7.18pm, Vicitravirya prabhu passed away in very peaceful and blessed circumstances. His departure was very gentle in the presence of his children and devotees with Srila Prabhupada's kirtan. We had been able to make all the preparations, offer our prayers and encourage Vici to place himself solely in Prabhupada's hands. We will miss him dearly, but are relieved that he is free of such a debilitated condition and is now on his way to continue his service to the s
Srila Prabhupada: That I have already explained. You are already coming here, and even though you are not initiated, just your coming is also service. So if you deposit one cent daily, one day it may become a hundred dollars. When you get a hundred dollars you can buy the business. So you come here daily, one cent, one cent; and when it will be hundred dollars, you will become a devotee. No effort is wasted. Sukad

Jagannatha, the strange-faced God

EVEN though the International Society for Krishna Consciousness celebrates the “Festival of the Chariots”, annually, in every major city of the world (including Moscow), yet most people are not aware why Lord Jagannatha (who is actually Krishna), His brother, Baladeva, and sister, Subhadra, appear in such strange primitive forms. The festival will be celebrated tomorrowall over the world.
The history is fascinating. In the Satya ‘yuga’, there

The little boy held his father's hand tightly. The huge crowd of devotees was surging towards the three multicoloured wooden chariots balanced on 12-foot wheels. The bright canopies were decorated with flags that were fluttering in the wind, pretty against the blue skies.

Q: U performed so many austerities in ur life. It was v peak time in our movement. Many times we feel frustrated while practicing spiritual lives. Did u never considered leaving KC?
Ans: I don’t remember even once consider leaving. I accepted “ I have to surrender”, nothing else. I understood from SP books that if we are not submissive, we cannot make proper spiritual advancement. So I was trying to be totally submissive. In those days, for 2 yrs atleast, I am not even getting 2-3 hrs sleep a day
Hare Krishna Prabhujis and Mathajis,

We are living in this world wherein we have so many distractions. Internet, TV, gossips, news-papers, criticisms, cheating, politics, social-pressures and the list is endless. How to save ourselves from these things ? In Srimad Bhagavatam verse 1.8.42, Kunti Maharani very nicely prays to Lord Krishna to help her to remember Him always without any deviation. She says,
