Therefore, for perfect knowledge, you have to approach the perfect. We accept Lord Krsna as the perfect, and His bona fide representative is also perfect. How he is perfect? Krsna may be perfect, one may admit, but how his bona fide representative is also perfect? So the answer is the bona fide representative of Krsna, he does not say anything beyond Krsna. That is perfect. He may be imperfect. It doesn't matter. But he is receiving knowledge from the perfect, and he's simply repeating that know

May Krishna show his full mercy on mataji Yamuna Devi Dasi
Yamuna Mataji is glorified for many things but for me her singing use to aspire me a lot always wanted to sing with the depth of bhakti and love for krishna in which she sings.

she said keep your ego out side the pandal and then enter, the kitan will be good.

Dear Yamuna Mataji,
please accet my most humble obeisances, all glories to Srila Prabhupada.
Thank you so much for your contribution to the Krishna conscious society, especially in regards to your cook books, 'Lord Krishna's Cuisine.'
No other devotee has given such comprehensive and extensive instruction on preparing quality sanctified vegetarian foods.
Being Srila Prabhupada's personal cook for some time, your writings have proved very helpfull, giving detailed and accurate information.

Krishna has given some the opportunity to serve Him by nice writing, some by good business ability,
some by nice cooking, and so on, but these various services are all accepted equally by Krishna.
On the transcendental plane, one service is as good as another. There is no question of higher or lower.
We are very tiny, and so we cannot really do very much.
Simply we can engage our time and energy, and that is all Krishna sees.

Srimate Yamuna devi dasi, Srila Prabhupada’s beloved daughter, has passed away from apparent heart attack in Melbourne Florida USA.
Briefly it seems she was experiencing some angina attack late last night USA east coast time (Dec. 19). The two of them had kirtan together and Yamuna went to bed around midnight.
Dina Tarini woke early in the morning and discovered Yamuna sitting in a chair with her hand in her bead bag but she had already left.
May Srila Prabhupada and her beloved Sri Sri Bana Bihari
We should first of all ask,"GOD", to provide Sri Yamuna Mataji dasi, in his home(The Heaven) a good care and well accepted devotee to his LOTUS feet. We all will get inspiration from her all good deeds. "May GOD help to rest her in Peace, at her new residence."

Actually, they shared a wonderful kirtan with "Khar" & Radha then retired. Between 9 & 10 pm, Yamuna complained of chest pains and pressure to the head.
Dina asked what she wanted to do and Yamuna preferred to sit and chant. She took one over-the-counter head ache relief. At 12:30 am, Dina checked and she was sleeping with her oxygen machine. At 6:30, she checked again but
this time, she had removed the machine,was lying on the bed, looking peaceful with her hand in her bead bag.

With immense sorrow and deep regret, I beg to report the departure of Her Grace Yamuna devi dasi, premier disciple of Srila Prabhupada, known for her deeply spiritual qualities and connection with His Divine Grace, for her glorious offering of the Govindam prayers that we hear and chant daily, for her love of pure kirtan, for her ecstatic award winning cook books which were infused with spiritual anecdotes, for greatly inspiring and encouraging the younger gener

Dear Maharajas and Prabhus,
Please accept my humble obeisances _/\ò_. All glories to Srila Prabhupada!
I just heard from Abhiram prabhu that Srimate Yamuna devi dasi, Srila Prabhupada's beloved daughter, has passed away from apparent heart attack in Melbourne Florida USA. He heard this directly from Dina Tarini dasi about two hours ago. (time of writing this is 7.45PM India time).

India is learnt to have taken up with Moscow the issue of a possible court ban on Bhagwad Gita.
Alleging that the text was spreading “social discord” and was “extremist”, prosecutors have sought a ban on the Russian translation of the book by founder of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada. The case was filed in the Tomsk district court in Russia in June this year.
The Russian authorities, it is learnt, have assured that the country believes i
So this chance we have got in this human form of life. I can execute the business of Krsna consciousness very nicely. In other form of life I cannot do that. Even if I try, it is not possible. That the dog cannot because it is not a human being. But we can because we are... So why should we lose this chance?
