Srila Prabhupada’s own words: My Guru Maharaja (Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura) when I was twenty-five years old he ordered me long, long ago, to go to the foreign countries and preach Lord Chaitanya’s message. Somehow or other I could not assimilate his order until I was seventy years old. But it was better late than never.

Please accept my best wishes. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
Most resolutions take the form of “do’s”–things I resolve to do–and “don’ts”–things I resolve to not do. And Vedic wisdom tells us that all do’s and don’ts should support one main do–always remember Krishna (God)–and one main don’t–never forget Him.
Now, practically, what can we do to always remember Krishna and never forget Him? The item most favorable for remembering Him is chanting and hearing: chanting and hearing
- You will remove this image or else I will tear it off!
- No way, I do that!
In this way I and my Muslim sister started to fight over the subject matter of Krishna’s image on the wall at our flat.
I used to stay with my mom and brother. And my elder sister used to study in other country for 4 years now. So she never knew about Krishna Consciousness. Whereas living among Muslim students she also embraced that tradition.
Once she came home on her vacations for few days. That tim

Dear devotees.
Please accept our humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada!
ISKCON Finland has gone through many twists and turns during its 30 years’ existence. Now, for the first time we have been given the historic opportunity to purchase premises for Krishna’s service.
We are just a handful of devotees but we have been touched by Srila Prabhupada’s teachings and are determined to broadcast the eternal wisdom of Krishna consciousness in this Northern European country.

Had you not been there
I would have been a tree
Without even a root
Nowhere to put my foot
Brought out the Chariot
Letting all pull the lariat
Of the great Lord God
With thousands cheer and laud
To know you gave books
Filled not just with words
But with powerful message
And the ultimate knowledge
Your wisdom has flooded
At large, the barren world
My senses too small
To take and hold it full.
That which taken as well,
To practice, I am unable!
Prabhupad, unto you my Master,
I bow down and surrender.
Selfless soul
