We belong in the Holy Dhama

We belong in the Holy Dhama

I always tell devotees that we should understand that Vrindavan or Mayapur is our home! This is where we live and now at one point, when we go from here to some foreign country, then we are like tourists – we are only visitors there whether it is New Zealand, Spain, Denmark or UK and so on.

Wherever we maybe, in all of these places, we should know that we are tourists. We live in Vrindavan or Mayapur, we live in the dhama. It does not matter if you are only one day

Increased youth interest in Gita

2515051391?profile=original

Today on sankirtana, on three occasions, students came to my table and looked at the Bhagavad-Gita and flatly interrupted me while I was trying to show it to someone else, saying, "I want this.

They do not have the same assurance of the somewhat predictable world that we grew up in. College hatha-yoga classes are offered, always with a s

What to Take with Us

2515050783?profile=original

We have arrived at the end of the year and are being moved unceremoniously into the next. We have no choice in the matter – we are pushed forward by time – away from the past and into the future. For some, they can’t wait until the year is over. For others it’s been the best year of their life.

Entering a new year is always a good time to reset – to clean the closet of our heart and mind and decide how we want to live the next year differently. For so many, instead of living life, life lives

With a pure desire in their heart to spread Lord Sri Chaitanya’s message to one and all, Aligarh devotees worked day in and day out on the land donated by Dr. Maheshwar Pratap Varshney.
