In this age of greed and hypocrisy, of the cheaters and the cheated, where countless, unfortunate beings struggle in this material world, a world that is confusing a

Cambodia, a small country between Thailand and Vietnam, has a population of about sixteen million people. Kala Das has regularly visited this land for the last ten years to share Krishna consciousness with people. He is a great source of inspiration for those few devotees who stay there on a regular basis.

“The enchanting beauty of Krishna’s form and character is the source of relish and refuge for all.”

Eyes Naturally Look For Beauty

The Supreme Lord Krsna is always joyful and so is the living entity, His part and parcel. Every person is naturally characterized by his pleasure seeking propensity, anandamayo ‘bhyasat (Vedanta-sutra 1.1.12).

25th December 2015, marked the first day of the 14th ‘Bhagavat-Katha Saptah’ in Pune with HH Lokanath Swami Maharaja.

It was a feast for devotees accompanying
