I will finish this small attempt at appreciation of Yamuna devi’s unlimited qualities and character with a few photos and recollection of the last time I saw her personally in 2010 at Saranagati farm in Canada. 

Akrura prabhu, the Vancouver temple president invited me over in late May 2010. I hadn’t been there since 1994 so I was overdue for a visit and looking forward to it. But high on my agenda was a trip to Saranagati, a well-known but remote outpost of Krsna consciousness an

SB 4.7.50

Lord Viṣṇu replied: Brahmā, Lord Śiva and I are the supreme cause of the material manifestation. I am the Supersoul, the self sufficient witness. But impersonally there is no difference between Brahmā, Lord Śiva and Me.

Lord Vishnu is enlightening everyone on the highest philosophy that there is no difference between Lord Brahma and Lord Shiva and Me, which actually includes everything else in existence. Krsna says everything comes from me.  So there is nothing in existence that is not c

Suprabhat’ you understand, Good. That’s how it is translated. There’s a big difference between the two. Prabha, prabhat, here ‘bha’ means ‘light’. From bha comes bhaskar, there is bhaskar sabhagruha. ‘Bha’. We are also, the country that we stay in is called ‘Bharat’. This country, that is absorbed in ‘bha’, meaning absorbed in ‘light’. Then, from the light comes the delight. So in the morning, we get good sun. Lot of countries do not even see light of the day, like England and several countries.

(Compiled from notes on lectures of H. H. Mahavishnu Goswami)

On the auspicious occasion of Sri Jagannath Rath Yatra at Dwarakapuri Dham on 26th January 2009, our beloved Guru Maharaja gave a nectarean class in Hindi. This posting is a humble attempt of transcribing the lecture as an offering unto our Guru Maharaj.

Thought Of The Day

Krsna is vibhu, unlimited. We are limited. So we, we cannot be equal to Krsna. The Mayavada philosophy that there is no difference between jiva and Bhagavan... There is sufficient difference. He is vibhu; we are anu. Anor aniyan mahato mahiyan. He's the greatest of the great, and He's the smallest also. So Krsna cannot be equal..., or nobody can be equal to Krsna, or greater than Krsna. Krsna is asamordhva. Nobody can be equal or greater than Krsna. Everyone is below Krsna.

The Glories of Vrindavan


Life is not same, ever since I came back from Vrindavan. Vrindavan is the place where Krishna spent his childhood. You can not enter in Vrindavan without the mercy of Radha rani the queen of Vrindavan, I was lucky to be there. I have never heard and sung so many Krishna songs, never heard so many Bhagwath Katha's, never read so many Krishna stories after visiting Vrindavan.

Vrindavan is not a place; It is heaven on the earth, I think heaven will be a small word in comparison. Vrindavan is a cultu

Its seven days since the departure of one of the most beloved disciples of Srila Prabhupada, Her Grace Srimati Yamuna devi dasi on December 20 2011 in Melbourne Florida, Saphala Ekadasi. I have been musing on what to write, thinking that I could never say enough to properly glorify and appreciate such a great soul. There aren’t enough superlatives to adequately convey the respect and deep loving regard that Yamuna devi commanded by her purity, humility, deep devotion, personalism and precise ab
