Lord Caitanya couldn't bear staying in Puri

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.

Me? The Sweet Control Freak? Could it be? Consider, we could just be sweet, well mannered control freaks. Not rude, unmannerly and egotistical, but sweet control freaks. We like everything to go according to our plan. Yet, we don’t take seriously how there could be a master plan and a master reason for things. We think that the resources of this world are meant for our enjoyment, they should be under control – for us… This full length presentation given at the Loft Yoga Lounge in Auckland highl
During the Prabhupada marathon in Upper Hutt, near Wellington, NZ, I tried stopping a young Maori lady with a pram as she entered a burger shop. She gave me the cold shoulder - didn't even consider stopping.
Soon after I stopped another young Maori lady who was very interested in the Gita, though she didn't know much about Krsna or Eastern wisdom. Being fifty cents short of the recommended donation, she said she would get more from her sister in the burger shop. I told her not to worry (I was c
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
A Six Months Residential Course for Men
For those who are proficient in their understanding of Krishna Consciousness, the 6 month sabbatical course is an ideal opportunity to explore it further.
The first half of the Sabbatical takes place in India, where we discover the roots of the Vedic culture. There are seminars, practical workshops and training courses at ISKCON Chowpatty, a world-famous flagship centre of training and education. Living amongst 150 resident monks is certainly enliven
