Sri Saranga Thakura -- Disappearance An important branch of the Shri Chaitanya tree, Shri Sharanga Thakura (Sharanga Murari) lived in Mamagacchi, Modadrumadwipa (Navadwipa).

If you ever desire to cross over this ocean of material existence and achieve the lotus feet of Supreme Lord Sri Hari then please take shelter of Srimad Bhagavatam, the mature fruit of the desire tree of Vedic literatures.Srimad Bhagavatam is declared to be the essence of all Vedanta philosophy. One who has felt satisfaction from its nectarean mellows will never be attracted to any other literature. Srila Vyasadev collected whatever Vedic conclusions were in the four Vedas and 108 Upanishads and

Ever since the tragic events of September 11, 2001, the world has been faced with unprecedented danger and uncertainty. Recent headlines suggest that the threat of terrorism has reached critical proportions. News of another possible attack in the U.S. has been circulating in the press and the rhetoric of war has dominated world politics for quite some time. Once again we are forced to contemplate our fragility and mortality in this material world. Anything can happen now — and

Dear Devotees,
well wishers & friends Dandavats. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. Chennai has been declared as a national disaster zone and is witnessing it's worst crisis in more than 100 years.
Part 1: ISKCON Chennai is engaged in supplying daily meals to more 1500 flood displaced families sheltered in government schools. We want to expand that to more areas in Chennai and items like water, bedsheets etc. (For more details see the bottom of this message).

“Raganuga Sadhana deals with Krishna’s intimate Vraja-lila and therefore is not appropriate for the general public. Thus Raganuga should not be the focus of a preaching mission.”
Krishna’s intimate Vraja-lila is not appropriate for the general public, why did the acarya who took Krishna consciousness to the general global public immediately present “The Krishna Book” – the intimate lila from the Tenth Canto of Srimad Bhagavatam? Why did he also immediately publish Teachings of Lord Caitanya, an
Krishna Priya grew up as a Hare Krsna devotee in the ISKCON New Vrindaban farm community in West Virginia. Her parents were initiated by Srila Prabhupada and are both very talented and artistic.
I first met Krishna Priya in 2003, while she was studying for her B.A. in English and later her M.Ed. in Secondary English Education at the University of Florida in Gainesville. We were roommates, sharing the old trailer at the Vaisnava Academy for Girls, from which she has graduated a few years prior.
If you think that ignoring the risks involved in accepting android app permissions is similar to accepting the terms and conditions before installing a Windows software then you are likely to land in a serious problem.
On the other hand, assuming that allowing apps to execute certain functions means always inviting dangers is also unreasonable for if you don’t allow it the app cannot perform certain functions and so won’t get installed.
Under the circumstance, it is a good idea to take a careful
New Govardhana Sunday School (Australia). Kisori devi dasi Recently I interviewed Indranila devi dasi about the Sunday School she runs at New Govardhana.
Kisori (K): What’s your inspiration for running the Sunday School?
Indranila (IN): I thought the children were a bit unsupervised and not positively engaged on Sundays. I also feel very inspired by Aruddha devi dasi’s book, which advises how to teach our children Krishna consciousness.
K: Please explain how it all works.

PAMHO, All Glories to Srila Prabhupada.
Dear Devotees,
As previously mentioned, we have been concentrating on the interior and exterior finishing work for the TOVP.
We talked about the Pink Sandstone from Rajastan and the Grc Workshop.
While the pink stone was arriving to Mayapur, Sadbhuja Prabhu was returning from Bolivia.
He had to travel to pick the best quality blue marble from our Bolivian vendors.
Bolivian blue marble is a very prestigious marble, only an expe
Shyamasundara Dasa: This exchange between His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada and a reporter took place in Philadelphia during July of 1975.
Reporter: The Krsna consciousness movement has been what some would consider sexist, because certain propensities for women have been defined, by the devotees or the Vedic scriptures — I’m not sure which — and I wondered if you would comment on that. The allegation is not necessarily that the movement is against women, but that it defines
