Please accept my humble obeisances.
All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda.
Śrīla Prabhupāda: “Simply by remembering the names of all these branches and subbranches of the three trunks I have described [Nityānanda, Advaita and Gadādhara], one attains freedom from the entanglement of material existence. Simply by remembering the names of all these Vaiṣṇavas, one can attain the lotus feet of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu. Indeed, simply by remembering their holy names, one achieves the fulfillment o
The Indian Sun, an Australian publication covering news, culture, business, and community affairs, recently featured ISKCON devotee Jayadev Dasa (John Richardson), tracing his remarkable journey from 1970s pop stardom to a life centered on Krishna Consciousness.
The article recounts how a chance encounter with an Indian neighbor introduced Richardson to the teachings of bhakti yoga and ultimately transformed his life. Readers will learn about his early success in the music industry, his search f

In the Bhakti tradition within the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON), the concept of māyā—the Lord’s illusory energy—is not merely a metaphysical idea but a lived psychological and spiritual reality. Māyā does not always present herself as gross material temptation. More often, she works through the refinement of identity, belief, and perception, subtly reshaping how a seeker views the world and even the path of spiritual life itself.
One of the most da
Sri Yudhisthira Maharaja said, “Oh Supreme Lord, what is the name of that Ekadashi that occurs during the dark fortnight (krishna paksha) of the extra, leap-year month of Purushottama. What is the process for observing it properly? Kindly narrate all of this to me?”
Lord Krishna, replied,
“Oh Yudhisthira, this meritorious day is called Parama Ekadashi. It bestows the great benediction of an enjoyable life and release from birth and death. The process for observing it is similar to that for obs

In 2005 Ranchor Prime was introduced to the celebrated British composer Sir John Tavener, who was developing an ambitious opera based on the life of Krishna.
Their discussions soon centred on the emotional heart of the opera: the love duet between Radha and Krishna. When Tavener asked for a mantra, Ranchor suggested the Hare Krishna mantra, describing it as a divine exchange of love between Radha and Krishna. Tavener immediately recognised its power and incorporated it into th

Had I not become a monk, I would likely have become a school teacher. At the Bhakta Prahlad Montessori School in Russell I was given the opportunity to do something with one of the classes. I was totally comfortable to lead the group, age 5 to 12, in a chant, and they loved it. I read about the pastime of Vamana, a poem called “Little Big Boy” followed by a rendition thespian-wise of this likeable avatar. They did splendid.
I am told I’m energetic and playful, so I guess you could say, I fit

It is with mixed sadness and joy that we inform you of Prana Prabhu’s auspicious departure from this material world last night, Thursday, June 4, 2026, during the most Holiest month of Purusottama! He was surrounded by Srila Prabhupada chanting and even on his way out of this world, engaged his nurse in devotional service. The nurse applied all auspicious items from our Sacred Care Kit to Prana Prabhu’s body and decorated it with a Maha garland from

The devotees greeted me at the Jagannatha Gaura Nitai temple in the Pasar Baru area of Jakarta. Srila Prabhupada came here in 1973 and stayed at an Indian congregation member’s house nearby. He did some wonderful programs.
I was able to come during Purusottama month and spoke about the auspicious significance of this month. This was followed by kirtan, offering of ghee lamps, flowers and of course nice prasadam. The TP showed me a nearby property that they were thinking of buying if they get the
I must give some attention to Mandala Ram, whom I indebted to for assisting me in my trans walk through the United States covering sections of the old Lincoln Highway, at periods from 2015 to 2017. He is an outstanding young man, really good with people. He also accompanied me to India, helping with some of my dramatical productions from the technical side. He is one of twelve children and comes from an Irish Canadian background whose parents took to Krishna Consciousness back in the '70’s. I w
