My dear devotees,
Please accept my best wishes. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
In a letter to me dated December 1971, Srila Prabhupada wrote, “Go on increasing books, and go on increasing my pleasure.” December is a special opportunity to focus on Srila Prabhupada’s desire that we distribute books—and thus increase his pleasure. As he wrote in the same letter, “I am most pleased especially to hear that you are distributing many books.”

Most of the population of the world is so engrossed in material advancement that they falsely believe that by making material progress they can remain happy. The Lord has given us Hisgeet[1] in the form of Bhagavad-gita –and the more degraded society becomes the more important it is to spread this message of God to those who are suffering. One of the most significant methods to spread the glories of God is through printing and distributing books a
Fifty padayatras – traditionally a journey on foot accompanied by kirtan and spiritual book distribution – are being offered by the Padayatra Worldwide Ministry to Srila Prabhupada in celebration of ISKCON’s 50th anniversary.
The offerings began on Gaura Purnima (March 16th) 2014, and will continue through to the end of 2016.
So far, twenty-three padayatras have already been done, eight more have been planned, and the Ministry is looking for volunteers to organize nineteen more.

In this article I focus on how our degree of commitment to our vows and promises is affected by what we believe is possible for us. I also look at how beliefs affect us in general. Some of our beliefs give us strength and some make it difficult or impossible to achieve our goals. And many of these beliefs are transparent, i.e. you don’t even know you have them.
It’s important to uncover your beliefs so you can see if they are empowering you or holding you down. If they are not h
Bhakti Without Borders, a charity kirtan album featuring mostly second generation ISKCON singers, has been nominated for a Grammy – the biggest music recognition award in the United States.
The album has been nominated in the Best New Age Album category, along with four other artists.
It’s only the third time a kirtan album has ever been nominated, following Jai Uttal’s “Mondo Rama” in 2004, and Krishna Das’ “Live Ananda” in 2013 (neither won).
However it’s the first time an album entirely in
Antoine Leiris not just lost his young wife in the recent Paris carnage but his 17 month old son also lost his mother. Addressing her killers he wrote an open letter, “I don’t know who you are and I don’t want to know, you are dead souls. If this God for whom you kill blindly made us in his image, every bullet in the body of my wife is a wound in his heart.” He further wrote, “So no, I will not give you the satisfaction of hating you. You want it, but to respond to hatred with anger would be to
Shaktyavesha is proving to be a solid filmmaker and his stories are full of light and love. Forget to Remember is well shot as Shaktyavesha surrounds himself with a talented cast and crew. This film will leave you with existential questions that you may never considered before and takes you into the heart of kirtan music.

Direction is fantastic and the performances are powerful. Very good cast. The film is uplifting and literally resonates positive vibes

As soon as the winter session of parliament began, especially Congress has again taken to the same cheap tactic of doing hulla-gulla in the parliament. It is understandable that some members of the parliament may not have much left to speak during the session and may be anxious about the consequences of their previous karmas but does it mean the parliament should be allowed to get disrupted practically everyday?

Sometimes devotees think that by working hard for Krishna, on the order of the spiritual master, even if there is some neglect of personal sadhana, hearing and chanting, success in spiritual life is assured come what may. Is this empty optimism? Or does the order of the spiritual master supersede all other considerations?
It is tempting to assure oneself that being engaged in all nine angas of Bhakti to lesser or greater degrees trying to please the guru, the assiduous, int
