October 27. ISKCON 50 – S.Prabhupada Daily Meditations. You were alone in the city where no one knew Krishna. Only a backward boy came, but Krishna in your heart was your direct companion. You had kept your courage on the lonely Atlantic, and now alone in the ocean of vices. The Lord protected you, just as He protects the sages in the forest. Loitering in neighborhoods thinking how they could be transformed for Krishna’s mission. But it seemed impossible, and you went to Scindia’s man to ask when a ship was returning. Still you extended your stay again: Let me try a little longer. Read the entire article here: http://www.dandavats.com/?p=20490/#27

October 27. ISKCON 50 – S.Prabhupada Daily Meditations.
You were alone in the city
where no one knew Krishna.

You had kept your courage on the lonely Atlantic,

The Lord protected you,

By Nila Kamala das (Bhakta Nikhil)

During the month of Kartik, many devotees assemble from various parts of the world to Vrindavan in order to recharge their spiritual battery. Parikrama allows an opportunity for devotees to nourish their bhakti through the medium of visiting various places of pastimes of the Lord, hearing of those pastimes from senior devotees and serving the vaisnavas. With this in mind, HH Subhag Swami Maharaj organised a series of programs in different places across Vraj

Sri Govind Gau Gram Prachar Yatra BEGINS

Inauguration Report

His Divine Grace A.C. Bhakti Vedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada’s (Founder-Acarya of International Society for Krishna Consciousness) first step on the soil of Boston in 1966 proved to be more revolutionary than the much-dramatised first step of man on Moon. He inundated almost the complete world in the nama rasa of the Supreme Lord. Even in the land of su

They wear special cloth, prepare foods only eaten on these rare days, and congregate in mass around a few exceptional people that are taking part in a ceremony lasting over 3 hours. All the while they chant two and three word phrases together in cadence, which creates and encourages a collectively desired experience.

I remember 4 years ago, when we first began regular harinama’s at the football games. A rag/tag group of us led by me, a 2 year old bhakta at the time, were ch

On the 21th October 2015 we set off from Bhaktivedanta Manor with two vehicles loaded with Prasad and provisions such as sleeping bags, tents, clothes etc. We were heading to a place called the ” Jungle “, just outside of, Calais in France, where there were 6,000 refugees struggling to survive in the worst conditions imagable.

After a short ferry crossing we arrived at the refugee camp. It was raining, mud everywhere, people were wandering around aimlessly, desperation on their

For the world, America is the land of Hollywood, Disneyland, Wall Street and the arena for fulfilling “the American dream.” For Americans, it’s the “Land for the free and the home for the brave.” However, for me, like many Indians, it had been for years the land of higher studies. Some twenty years ago, I had desired, as do many Indians, to go to the US for higher studies. And I had been well on course to going there, having done well in GRE (Graduate Record Examination),

Over the last century natural calamities comprising geological, hydrological, meteorological, health and space disasters have been significantly increasing in both, their frequency and ferocity. Natural disasters are a display of an awesome power immensely and fearfully greater than the human. They jolt us out of our complacent routines and impel us to think: Why do such natural disasters occur? What should we do at such times? How to prevent such recurrence? 

According to the exemplary spiritual

If you ever desire to cross over this ocean of material existence and achieve the lotus feet of Supreme Lord Sri Hari then please take shelter of Srimad Bhagavatam, the mature fruit of the desire tree of Vedic literatures.Srimad Bhagavatam is declared to be the essence of all Vedanta philosophy. One who has felt satisfaction from its nectarean mellows will never be attracted to any other literature. Srila Vyasadev collected whatever Vedic conclusions were in the four Vedas and 108 Upanishads an

Q. Does the name “Qohelet” mean something?

A. The name “Qohelet” is generally held to come from a Hebrew root meaning “to assemble” or “to gather.” And so “Qohelet” is often thought of as a leader of an assembly. Translators have called him “the Speaker,” “the Teacher,” “the Philosopher,” “the Debater,” “the Preacher,” and so on. The list of choices is long.
