Work on the Chakras is progressing alongside of the placement of the Kalashes on the domes.
The Nava Yogendras, embellishments around the Chakra, are being attached and Sadbhuja, Avatar Gauranga and Ajita Chaitanya prabhus can be seen in the photos doing the final inspection of the work.
Respected Maharajas and Prabhus,
Please accept my humble obeisances All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
It's a great privilege for ISKCON that by Srila Prabhupada's mercy, we got an opportunity to meet Shri. Ramnath Kovind today. He is the Presidential candidate from the ruling NDA and widely tipped to be the next President of India.
Shri. Kovind received us warmly and deeply appreciated the contributions being made by ISKCON globally. He received a copy of the Bhagavad Gita and went through t
Vaishnavas like Prahlada Maharaja are always present wherever the topics of Srimad Bhagavatam are discussed. Those who worship Srimad Bhagavatam are beyond the jurisdiction of Kali.
Those persons who worship the Vaishnava literature Srimad Bhagavatam in their house are freed from all sins and they become worshipable by even the demigods.
In the age of Kali, I become very pleased with those who regularly worship Srimad Bhagavatam in their house and dance without fear.
O My dear son, as long as S

Basic Principle 1: Every relationship has an expiry date attached to it:
bandhu-jñāty-ari-madhyastha-mitrodāsīna-vidviṣaḥ
Translation: In this material world, which advances like a river that carries away the living entity, all people become friends, relatives and enemies in due course of time. (Śrīmad-bhāgavatam 6.16.5)
It is wise therefore, to stay a bit detached in general.

What a week of Vaisnava sadhu-satsanga this has been! I leave the richer, having exchanged with my family members, old and new, Godbrothers, Godsisters, nephews and nieces. While I feel most unqualified to speak to you today, I am honoured and privileged to join my Godsisters in voicing my concerns as a woman in ISKCON.
As the GBC body, all of you are responsible for establishing Srila Prabhupada’s legacy, which, in these difficult and turbulent times, is at stake. One realm of that legacy – th

Since the time of Lord Chaitanya, Navadvip has been a place of Gaudiya Vaishnava learning. It is evident from the verses 60 and 61 from Sri Chaitanya Bhagavat Adi-khanda 2nd Chapter -
nana-desha haite loka navadvipe yaya
navadvipe padile se ‘vidya-rasa’ paya
Many people came from various provinces to study in Navadvipa, because by studying there one achieved a taste for education.
ataeva paduyara nahi samuccaya
laksha-koti adhyapaka,-nahika nishcaya
Therefore no one could count the innumerable studen

Difference b/w God and Demigod
God is the one who is full complete in himself, in all qualities , all attractive which is none other than Krishna, as Krishna means all attractive . Not only by his name he is all complete, his qualities makes him God. No one is perfect in this world except Krishna. There are 33crore types of demigods, and there is different powers, position assigned to them by Lord. Lord Shiva is head of the demigod [Maha- head, dev-
Srila Prabhupada incorporated his worldwide mission with deep concern for the suffering humanity. He outlined seven purposes which capsulized the essence of his mission. In these seven purposes Srila Prabhupada has immensely stressed on education.
Srila Prabhupada wanted to provide opportunity for all people to gain a systematic understanding of the profound vedic scriptures.

Parasuram dasa: Each year on the longest day of the year, a great festival takes place at the ancient Stonehenge site. English Heritage invite us to perform the Midnight Rathayatra and to do mass Prasad distribution. Enjoy the video.
Turin Hare Krishna Cultural Center in Italy has celebrated the 2nd Anniversary.
It is a miraculous story like the ones of Srila Prabhupada! Prabhu das, Hayagriva das and Abhiram das came to Turin, Italy, to establish ISKCON Turin with nothing in their hands. It was a mission given to them by H.G. MadhuSevita Prabu.
They had only their camper and a desire to give the Holy Name to the city of Turin. With the power of sadhana bhakti, they started preaching and distributing books in Turin and the l
Indradyumna Swami: Yesterday we held our first festival of the summer. As I looked at the photos I realized they could have come from any of the 1,200 festivals we have done along the Baltic Sea coast over the last 28 years. But then I realized that each festival is unique in itself, for every year the guests at our events are different. Remembering a purport from Srimad Bhagavatam, I was struck with wonder how by participating in our programs many hundreds of thousands of people [ Srila Prabhu

Srila Prabhupada: Nowadays people are very much inclined to the meditational process, which is not practical in this age, but if anyone practices meditating on Krishna twenty-four hours a day by chanting the Hare Krishna mantra round his beads, he is surely the greatest meditator and the greatest yogi.
