Dancing in ecstasy ( by Kadamba Kanana Swami )
Dancing in ecstasy 21 Aug 2012
(HH Kadamba Kanana Swami, Fruska Gouranga Serbian Camp, July 2012) Final words at 12 hour Kirtan day
(Transcribed by Yamuna Devi Dasi)
Srivas Thakur would lock the doors of his house. The kirtan would take extra-ordinary priorities because Lord Caitanya danced in the greatest ecstasy. Only devotees could be present and no one else... only devotees could be absorbed... envious neighbours tried to stop the kirtan. Finally, C
A Conversation with a Muslim student
A Muslim boy visited us yesterday and said he was doing a study on comparative religion. He said that he was reading Zakir Naik’s writings. He started to ask us some questions.
Muslim student: Our respected Dr. Zakir Naik says there is no such thing as the Hindu religion. It’s supposed to be called varnasrama dharma. Or the followers could be called Vedantists, followers of the Vedas.
Gopal Das: Yes, this is true. We are not claiming to be Hindus. We are followe
Uptown Charlotte has long served as an open-air church for Christian street preachers, waving their Bibles and preaching the Gospel to busy passersby.
In what may be a testament to the city’s increasingly diverse religious landscape, add a chanting family of Hare Krishnas to the mix.
Most days, you’ll find Devaprastha Dasa and Jennifer Rawson at Trade and Tryon streets, playing drums and hand cymbals, and chanting nonstop praises to Krishna, or God. Their children, Anuradha, 12, and Govinda, 1

By His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada
Caitanya Mahāprabhu has given one line of Vaishnava behavior: asat-sanga tyāga ei vaishnava ācāra [Cc. Madhya 22.87]. Simply give up these rascals’ association. Rascal means the Māyāvādī, karmī, jnānī, yogi – they are all rascals. It is our open declaration. So we have to give up the company of these rascals. If we are actually serious about advancing in Krishna co
Decoration of the Dead Body
In India, the lower class men, during their life, will dress very wretchedly and not spend money. But when some of their relatives die, they will purchase some velvet and cover the body and very nicely decorate, and with band party they'll take, lead the dead body. They make lips of the dead body very smiling. The body is taken in procession. So it may be very much pleasing to the relatives that the dead body's decorated. So shastra says that what is the meaning of thi

Sound Advice in Difficult Times
"Oh, this is too unsettling I just can't stand the pressure anymore." S/He stood in the room and tried to calm down the mind. But it was in vain! Sounds familiar?!
We often become overwhelmed by difficult or disturbing situations and feel that our life is getting out of hand.
At that time, don't despair.
In a lecture in India Shrila Prabhupada gave the remedy: Just pause for some time - sit down and chant.
How can our faith grow from initial interest to full conviction?
Faith is vital for the discharge of devotional service. In Bhagavad-gita (9.3) Krishna says, “Those who are not faithful in this devotional service cannot attain Me, O conqueror of enemies. Therefore they return to the path of birth and death in this material world.” Srila Prabhupada writes in his purport that without faith we cannot attain Krishna. Faith, he says, is developed by associating with devotees. Without such association,

Why should one be a fanatic? If one has got brain, one has got logic, why should he be a fanatic? Fanatic means dullheaded rascal.
However, the term "fanaticism" should not be misunderstood. Srila Prabhupada defines fanaticism as a manifestation of religion without philosophy. "Religion without philosophy is sentiment, or sometimes fanaticism." (Bg. 3.3 purport.) If a devotee has realization and is preaching according to sastra, even if his pre

1. O queen, when will I hide the flute that You won from Lord Hari in the dice game, broke, and tossed to me?
