Rightly Said (Album with photos)
Indradyumna Swami: A great flood of mercy inundated the town of Rewal, Poland yesterday as our samkirtan party descended in all its glory upon the town’s beaches. Chanting and dancing in great ecstasy we distributed thousands of invitations to our festival that evening. Upon receiving an invitation one gentleman smiled and rightly said, “By the appearance of it all, it seems the festival has already begun!”

Yamuna Devi: “After settling in Oregon with my Godsister Dinatarine, Srila Prabhupada, while pronouncing us ‘independent’ to a concerned Godbrother, at the same time twice rebuked us when we approached him to leave. 'You westerners are so restless,’ he admonished. 'Why can’t you remain in the same place? Stay where you are.’ We questioned, 'But Srila Prabhupada, they are saying that if we aren’t in ISKCON, we lose your blessings and cannot make advancement.’ Prabhupada

Srila Prabhupada: “Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare, Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare—these sixteen names composed of thirty-two syllables are the only means to counteract the evil effects of Kali-yuga. In all the Vedas it is seen that to cross the ocean of nescience there is no alternative to the chanting of the holy name.” (Kali-santarana Upanisad)

Bhagavad-gita As It Is by His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada
French audiobook edition
The largest-selling edition of the Gita in the Western world, Bhagavad-gita As It Is is more than a book. It is alive with knowledge and devotion; thus it has the power to change your life for the better. Bhagavad-gita is knowledge of five basic truths and the relationship of each truth to the
These Deities traveled throughout North America many times in a Greyhound bus converted into a traveling temple, enjoying devotional festivals and the sweet kirtans of Visnujana Swami in cities across the country. They have been in Gita Nagari since the late 1970’s and continue to inspire whoever sees Them with Their mystical gaze.
We arrived in Gita Nagari from New Vrindaban on Friday, May 29th, Pandava Nirjala Ekadasi, only for a few hours to make a presentation at the weekend retreat there
On this date in 1969, Srila Prabhupada initiated me--probably the best thing that has ever happened to me. He accepted me as his disciple and chanted on my beads in Los Angeles, while I was in Boston. And he sent me the following instructive letter:
My dear Giriraj,
Please accept my blessings. I beg to acknowledge receipt of your letter dated July 2, 1969, sent along with your beads. I have chanted on them, and your initiated name is Giriraj. Giriraj is the name of Goverdhan Hill, on which Kris
New Vrindaban is famous throughout ISKCON as being Srila Prabhupada’s first farm project, named after the holy dhama. Like other farm projects and temples, it was given the nomenclature “New” to link it to its origin. Srila Prabhupada even said there was no difference between the two, Vrindaban and New Vrindaban. The presiding Deities of Radha Vrindaban Chandra, Srinathji and Gaur Nitai are stunning. The larger than life Deities of Lord Nrsimha and Prahlad Maharaja are astounding. Lord Jagannat

This majestic, glorious and sacred festival which draws millions of devotees not just from various parts of the country but from all over the world to Puri, Orissa, India is celebrated during the month of June-July every year.
Lord Jagannath - the Lord of the Universe along with His brother Lord Balabhadra and sister Goddess Subhadra, comes out of His sanctum sanctorum to give Darshan to all pilgrims and devotees belonging to all sects and communities.

'Snana Pumima' marks the beginning of this festival. On this day the three deities—Lord Jagannath, Lord Balabhadra and Goddess Subhadra take a royal bath on an open platform known as 'Snana Bedi'. Then they retire for 15 days and remain in isolation. During this period, no public worship is performed. After 15 days of isolation, the Gods come out of the temple in a colourful procession to board their respective Chariots and thereafter begins the magnificient journey known as Ratha Yatra.

Padayatra India on the roads of Andhra Pradesh
June 29, 2015
Here are the main places where Padayatra India visited from January to June 5th. Some of these places have already been mentioned in previous articles. The reason they again appear here is because we later received many photos of these locations, some without captions, alas. Life on the road is very intense, as you can all imagine.

I recently met an elderly mataji who excitedly shared how these days she is meditating on ‘om’ during her yoga sessions. When I asked her is it helping her, she replied that it is supposed to help her but nothing has happened yet.

Few months ago I happen to meet mataji’s neighbour who, a little more openly
