The keli-kadamba resembles the mood and complexion of Srimati Radharani. Whenever Sri Krishna thinks of Radharani, He saw the Keli-kadamba in Vrindavan. The Keli-kadamba is a kind of fragrant and beautiful flower resembling like snowy balls often seen in Vrindavan. The Lord enjoys the pleasure of Keli-kadamba flowers and devotees offer delightful garlands of it. The Keli-kadamba flowers blossom in summer and the Lord enjoys the enchanting rasa dance in the shade of the kadamba trees of Vrindavan

Vakresvara Pandita, the fifth branch of the tree, was a very dear servant of Lord Caitanya’s. He could dance with constant ecstasy for seventy-two hours. (Adi 10.17)
In the Gaura-ganoddesa-dipika, verse 71, it is stated that Vakresvara Pandita was an incarnation of Aniruddha, one of the quadruple expansions of Visnu (Vasudeva, Sankarsana, Aniruddha and Pradyumna). He could dance wonderfully for seventy-two continuous hours. When Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu played in dramatic performances in the hous

This is a question that is asked sometimes about the morality of Krsna – is Krsna immoral? Someone asked a question – “Do we have to give up our conception of mundane morality in order to worship Krsna in Braj?”
No, we answer. You don’t have to give up worldly morality, but we mustunderstand that Krsna is not immoral. He is the highest, most moralPerson. That is why we see throughout the vedic literature that the mostrespected and exalted persons in the universe are praying to thebraja-gopis.

This is Tattva Darshan, February 2009. Srila Prabhupada gives a very nice explanation about simple living and high thinking. This is a room conversation in Bhubaneshwar, 31st January 1977, about 32 years ago.
Srila Prabhupada said, our aim should be a simplified life. We should not be attracted by the modern city life. We should save time and utilize our free time for advancing in Krsna consciousness. That is perfect life.
Just like Vrndavan, Vrndavan life means agriculture, cowherd boys, uneducat

Some of the most exciting book distribution incidents have taken place at the Mumbai Central Railway Station. It all began in the mid 80's, when book distribution as a part of regular service in the
Radha Gopinatha temple in Chowpatty was still at a nascent stage. With very few devotees distributing books, nobody had ever thought of going to the railway station.
One day Krishnananda Prabhu decided to take the initiative and told me to accompany him. I had just joined the temple. As a teenager comi

One day, the supremely playful Sri Krsna was sitting in the shade under the trees on the northen bank of this lake, together with the gopis, and was laughing and joking with vinodini Sri Radhika. At that time, many monkeys from nearby places descended from the trees, being attracted by Krsna's sweet beauty. They respectfully bowed at His lotus feet, sang in joy, jumped and danced. Severa
SB 4.5.22: Then Vīrabhadra, the giantlike personality, sat on the chest of Dakṣa and tried to separate his head from his body with sharp weapons, but was unsuccessful.
SB 4.5.23: He tried to cut the head of Dakṣa with hymns as well as weapons, but still it was hard to cut even the surface of the skin of Dakṣa's head. Thus Vīrabhadra was exceedingly bewildered.
SB 4.5.24: Then Vīrabhadra saw the wooden device in the sacrificial arena by which the animals were to have been killed. He took the opport

Scientists of various disciplines are working hard to discover the principles of the biological clock within the human body that sets the pace for aging and finally signals the time for death. Thus they hope to learn how to prolong man’s life, and apparently they are making some progress. How successful their efforts will prove remains to be seen, but perhaps even more important: If they do succeed, how shall we use our ext
WHAT EVERY LIVING ENTITY MUST KNOW
The Krishna consciousness movement is essential in human society, for it offers the highest perfection of life. How this is so is explained fully in the Bhagavad-gita. Unfortunately, mundane wranglers have taken advantage of Bhagavad-gita to push forward their demonic propensities and mislead people regarding right understanding of the simple principles of life.
Everyone should know how God, or Krishna, is great, and everyone should know the factual position of t
