Thank you very much.

Hare Krishna, so I’m very blessed today be sitting in this huge asana, actually I’m not qualified to do this. There is something that is called seva, by reading Srimad Bhagavatam it will purify you as well as purifies me as well. I see may senior Prabhupada disciples, sanyasis and senior matajis as well and gurus also. I’ll tell you, I’m not, my first language is French, I’m coming from Ivory Coast, Cote d’Ivoire, so French is my first language, and I’m trying to speak English. So you can bear

About Gaura Purnima(Fasting till moon rise): Lord Caitanya appeared only to teach us by example "How to love the Supreme Lord Sri Krishna" and to gain full enlightenment simply by chanting His holy names; HARE KRISHNA HARE KRISHNA KRISHNA KRISHNA HARE HARE HARE RAMA HARE RAMA RAMA RAMA HARE HARE. Thus He brought a revolution in spiritual consciousness by inaugurating the chanting and dancing.

HG Mahat Tattva Prabhu’s sannyasa name is HH Bhakti Anand Tirtha Swami Maharaj.
Srila Prabhupada: A spiritual master or leader should not be proud of his position; being always humbler than an ordinary common man, he should go on preaching the cult of Caitanya Mahaprabhu by chanting the Hare Krishna mantra. (Sri Caitanya-caritamrta, Adi-lila, 17.31 Purport)

In a conversation with Acintya Rupa last night I was reminded of an incident that occurred in Mayapur during the GBC meetings and the importance of mass prasadam distribution. I happened to be in earshot of a rather intense conversation between two old friends, Ramabhadra Prabhu and Ramesvara Prabhu. They are currently at loggerheads over the selling of the Brooklyn property. The conversation was intense but, might I add, entirely amicable and respectful. There are ways to dis

Dear Maharajas and Prabhus,

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

Srila Prabhupada has set a vision for devotees to “hunt for the rhinoceros” and to “think big”. His Divine Grace personally believed in engaging the leaders of society in Krishna Consciousness in order to set an example to the common populace. In pursuance of this vision, by the blessings of Sri Sri Radha Parthasarathi and Srila Prabhupada, we received the rare opportunity of visiting the Honorable

Sridhar’s hidden treasure

2515081061?profile=original

Purushottam Nitai Das: He was so insignificant materially that no one cared about him. He was an unknown person living a life of penury. So, during the mahaprakash pastimes, when Lord Chaitanya told the devotees to bring Sridhar to him then all were amazed.

“Why is the Supreme Lord so concerned about him? And most importantly where could we find him?” The devotees were wondering.

“Go out and you will hear someone loudly chanting the holy names of the Lord. Follow the sound and you will come t
