The mercy of Sri Nityananda Prabhu is boundless and is ever expanding reaching all the way up to the Nusantara or the islands of Indonesia and going beyond as well. Panihati, on the banks of the Ganges, remains glorified for the pastime of Sri Nityananda Prabhu blessing Sri Raghunatha das; and today, by the mercy of His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, the same pastime is being freshly enacted in all corner

Madhumangala Prabhu has passed on. He distributed books from the time he joined in South Africa, about twenty years ago.

He would respond, “This is not religious. Religion tells you what to do. This knowledge tel

Another great soul has left this world to join Srila Prabhupada in nitya lila, that is my

"newer devotees". However, there was a time in the history of ISKCON decades ago
when she was world famous as one of the world's top distributors of Srila Prabhupada's
books. I knew her very well in her "hey-days", o

people on the Promenade this evening.
He was polite and calm and with a smile asked if the book I’m trying to
give him is in my language (he could tell I’m from Indian bac
