Lecture given by HH Tamal Krishna Goswami on 11th July 1991 in Dallas.
Today is the disappearance of Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura and Srila Gadadhara Pandit. Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura worshipped the deities of Gaura Gadadhara and chose to leave this world on the same day as his worshippable deity Gadadhara Pandit also left.
We cannot calculate the debt which we owe to Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura Practically this Krishna consciousness movement is based upon his design because it is he who revived

Nairobi, Kenya — More than 500 young people gathered for Youth Fest 2026, organized by ISKCON Nairobi as part of the ISKCON 60 initiative, for an inspiring evening focused on addressing one of the greatest challenges facing today’s youth—digital addiction and the endless cycle of doom scrolling.
The highlight of the evening was a thought-provoking session by His Holiness Svayam Bhagavan Keshava Swami Maharaj, who spoke about the impact of excessive screen time on the min
In the quiet corridors of a hospital, where the air is often thick with anxiety and the weight of finality, a profound lesson in love and spiritual protection recently unfolded. Bhakta Prabhu, a Hare Krishna chaplain, shared a moving account of a family’s journey through the “palliative care” of the soul, illustrating that the greatest joy in life is helping another soul turn toward the Divine.
The Call to Service
The story began with a phone call from Werribee Hospital. A woman, traveling all t

MotelGita, an initiative dedicated to placing Bhagavad-gita As It Is in hotel and motel rooms across North America, recently marked its 16th consecutive year at AAHOA CON26, the annual trade show of the Asian American Hotel Owners Association. The team raised $4,730 in donations, secured orders for more than 1,000 Bhagavad-gitas, and distributed the Bhagavad-gita in five languages, along with Krishna Book, Srimad-Bhagavatam, and other titles by Srila Prabhupad
Devotees from the Seattle community, over the last few years, have leased a downtown facility to host programs for those interested in genuine spiritual advancement. It is called the Bhakti Studio and many come to chant, dance, discuss and partake of delicious prasadam.
In the summertime, when the weather is nice, everyone goes out to a nearby park that overlooks the beautiful Seattle harbour. There they have their normal program of chanting and dancing but outdoors instead of inside.

Look up at a gorgeous sky
Something for a curious eye
It’s so clear, so clean
Expansive and not lean
There’s nothing larger than this space
Holding countless entities in place
Planets, luminaries, each star
Galaxies suspended from so far
There’s no greater envelope
I think not – nope
When evil preys on the mind
A view of the sky makes one unwind
It’s comparable to a stream
It purges, it’s so pristine
Let’s continue to wonder
What about that awesome colour

I was distributing books in Sunnyvale, California, when a couple of young
men stopped at my table. I showed them the books I had: Bhagavad Gita,
Science of Self Realization, The 4 Questions, and Hiding in Unnatural
Happiness. One of them said, “We don’t believe in God.”
“Well,” I challenged them, “you can’t say there is no God, because you
don’t know.”
They agreed.
Then I presented the wager of the famous 17th century religious philosopher
Blaise Pascal. who framed belief in God as a bet. There
International support for ISKCON Venezuela’s earthquake relief efforts has strengthened with the arrival of two Food For All UK volunteers, who are now working alongside local devotees to expand the ongoing Food for Life prasadam distribution for communities devastated by the recent earthquakes.

A day after arriving to Seattle I was invited by Vraja Raman and his family to attend the seventh anniversary of the installation of his deities, Sri Sri Nitai Nimai Chandra, in his home.
When Their Lordships first arrived a lot of devotees attended, including HH Gopala Krishna Maharaja and HG Hari Vilasa Prabhu. I was told there were nearly three hundred who came for the function.
This time there were not as many but a good number came and both Hari Vilasa and I spoke followed by beautiful bhaj
In Jagannatha Puri, India, the Ratha Yatra, or Chariot Fest, is celebrated with three massive carts in procession at a distance of three kilometres or two miles down Grand Road. Today, in St. John's, our humble cart was pulled for over six kilometres. That's the longest I've ever experienced. Those who did the entire length are indeed stalwarts. We stuck to the sidewalks and the most beautiful thing is that the sun stuck with us the whole time.
Responses from the public was good. Many motoris
THE VEDAS DESCRIBE the cow as our mother (go-mata). Why? Because she gives the milk that nurtures and nourishes us from infancy to old age. When the cow is happy, satisfied, and well taken care of, she produces far more milk than her calf requires. We can use this milk for our dietary needs.
Srila Prabhupada writes, “Foods such as milk, milk products, sugar, rice, wheat, fruits, and vegetables are the foods that best aid health and increase life’s duration.” He calls milk “the most wonderful o
We waited. And waited. It was a sweltering summer day in the Florida panhandle. The morning sun glared through the expansive windows of an airport departure gate. There, a young blond haired lady, neatly uniformed with a blue vest over a pressed white shirt and matching blue pants, stepped up to the counter, timidly surveyed the room, then announced a one hour delay. Passengers sighed, edgy to escape from the heat and travel north. With cellular phones pressed to their ears, they persistently g

We found ourselves in Newfoundland, which many people refer to as "The Rock.” Amala Harinam from Montreal, and I flew to this location, a massive island. My friend Jan, took us to the rock upon the rock, at Signal Hill where the first wireless message, telegram, was successfully transmitted by inventor Marconi, on a trans-Atlantic venture in 1901. With the sun gloriously on our frames we met the friendly people of this province and even a couple that just got married. The “Newfies,” as they are

When it comes to the sensitive topic of Varnashrama, or what many people call the caste system of India, we have seen so many talks over this issue, both pro and con, back and forth, this way and that. We all know that the Vedic system of Varnashrama has been mentioned in the Vedic literature in many places. But it seems that many people still don’t understand how it was meant to be implemented. It is not because of Varnashrama, but because of this misunderstanding of what it really is that has
