Our agenda to control and enjoy matter is not an innocent one. It has consequences. It robs us of peace. It contributes to strife, both individually and collectively. Through yoga knowledge and practice, we can relinquish this agenda, and revive our genuine blissful mission in life.

Book distribution sankirtan in UK - Encounter of the day.
Visvambhara das: I met with the famous comedian/magician, John Archer. He took a Bhagavad-gita and gave a £10 donation. I said, “If you give me another £10, I’ll show you some Italian magic.” John gave it and then wanted to see the magic. I replied, “The magic is that I made £20 disappear from your pocket!” John replied, “You cheeky fellow!” Lol

Guru Das and the Hells Angels…
“Swamiji called out "Gaura prem-ananda hari hari bol!” In a voice that was simultaneously sweet and grave, he recited paeans glorifying the past preceptors in our spiritual lineage. We collapsed on the floor, bowing down. We all alighted and sat upright silently, as the Swami was now going to speak. The Swami settled into his raised seat. “Thank you very much - all of you nice young boys and girls - for coming and…” We heard pounding on the wall - a loud thum
Temple President Srutidharma das was one of those selected to personally greet Narendra Modi and David Cameron at the much publicised Wembley Stadium event, where 60,000 people welcomed the Indian Prime Minister to the UK.
The Indian Prime Minister told Srutidharma das that he fondly recalled his visit to Bhaktivedanta Manor’s Janmashtami festival in 2005 and congratulated ISKCON on its 50thAnniversary.
During the Wembley event, children of the Krishna Avanti School and other schools reci
Grumble, grumble, grumble
Grumble, grumble, grumble. Someone who takes himself, others, and everything else very seriously. The primary focus is on problems, always critical, frowning, angry, hurried, frustrated, and stressed. Someone who is waiting for life to get better, for things to be different. Is this you?
You had your chance to experience and explore life and its many facets – the beauty as well as the hassles. But in a way, you took it for granted. You spent your time grumbling, wish
Although I have been travelling around England recently, I’ve been following the ongoing dispute about the Church of England’s attempt to promote prayer by commissioning a 54-second film – a cinema advertisement, so to speak, for The Lord’s Prayer.
This was designed to be shown before the new Star Wars film. At the last minute the cinema chain stopped the film from being shown – even though it had been approved by the relevant advertising body. It gave as a reason that it ‘might be offensive

Continuing The Legacy (7 min video)
Indradyumna Swami: During our recent Kartika parikrama in Vrindavan, we held an initiation ceremony at Gokula, where Krsna performed many of His childhood pastimes. In the auspicious atmosphere of that holy place we officially welcomed the initiates into our Gaudiya Vaisnava sampradaya, thus ensuring the legacy of this great movement, ISKCON, continues down the line.

Usually I worry about achieving things in the future. That is rajoguna. At other times I regret that I haven’t yet managed to achieve many things. This is tamoguna. Sometimesrajoguna and tamoguna temporarily subside and I can feel the fact that I actually exist. This is sattvaguna. In these moments life becomes naturally joyful and carefree.
Then rajas and tamas return and I wonder why it is impossible to exist inSATTVA forever. I realize it is because I NEED things to survive and have to
Daivishakti: When Prabhupada’s house was first built and we first started using his kitchen, there were no windows or doors, it was just some pieces of wood covering up the holes.
At night the animals used to come in, so we’d have to have everything very carefully covered. Even then they would get to the things. But one night Prabhupada had sent down some kachoris that he wanted saved.
He wanted them kept for 24 hours because he wanted to try them the next night to see if they were still g
