Hari bol, everybody,I’m going to share my spiritual experience with you all..
‘Radha-pada vina kabhu krsna nahi mile’ -without taking shelter of lotus feet of Radha,one can never personally meet Krsna.
Vrindavan is a place of vrindabaneswari,Radha rani. While doing this Parikrama I was feeling like she is still there, taking care of every devotee and fulfilling their desires.Sometimes you might feel that as if she is sitting just beside you,silently listening to you.Radha rani is so kind hearted,

DAY 2 . 14 OCTOBER, 2019. The Great Longing.
The most important question on the spiritual path is: when is my experience real? When do I have substantial insights that can even carry me through troubling times? In other words, we are searching for a substantial and a very very real connection with Krishna, an experience of the Lord.
The Damodara-lila, which took place in this mont
How many of us hide behind the will of God as an excuse to inactivity or laziness? And how many of us attribute our successes to our efforts alone? The Vedic scriptures teach us that nothing in this world moves without the will of God—He is the creator, controller, overseer of multifarious universes, the benefactor of speech, intelligence, talent, and everything else without which we would be considered useless; however, do we just sit back, waiting for God’s will to save or direct us without e

“Everyone was sitting in the terminal where Srila Prabhupada was speaking. I walked up to Srila Prabhupada with the big bunch of strawberry bananas. Srila Prabhupada’s eyes opened very wide and said, “These are our bananas?” I said, “Yes Srila Prabhupada I have grown these bananas for you.” He immediately took one and ate it and said, “These are very good and now pass them out to everyone.””
As we read these memories shared by Sanka prabhu about his experiences with

If one desires to see the remnants of an ideal village, then Peddaganjam becomes a frontrunner. It is located away from the messy cities. The history of this village is that there existed a great civilization ruled by Vaishnava kings. The clear proof of this is the existence of a stone carved Sri Bhava Narayana Swami temple. The archaeological survey indicates that the temple could be 700 years old. The main occupation in the village consists of agriculture and salt production (known as uppukot

The time was coming around for the temple to send me to India again. Finally! I have the great fortune to serve as brahmachari leader at Sri Sri Radha Londonisvara Dham and I have been serving here for three and half years. I’m into Harinam and it’s a blessing that I can call this service one of my main services.
It was not difficult to choose a destination to request since I had recently seen Parasuram’s video from a Vraja Mandala Parikrama, or Padyatra, from 2010 which was s
