The first annual UP Devotional Arts & Film Festival, which took place on March 8th at Srila Prabhupada’s Samadhi Auditorium in Mayapur, focused on screening music videos by devotee artists from around the world.

"Oh Lord, please transfer the attraction I have towards the objects of this world to You."
We all know the story of King Bharat from Srimad-bhagvatam who became attached to a baby deer, so much so that, he forgot to perform devotional service to The Supremely Dear Lord. Thus, his attachment and attraction to The Dear Lord was replaced by his newfound attachment and attraction to this deer. This deer became his dear deer. The result - in his next life, he was born as a baby deer. Lord Krishna ex

I announced to our small crew of monks that as of tomorrow, there will be a shutdown of the temple, due to the coronavirus. “Oh yes, the duty service will go on, the cooking and business as usual, but we will not be able to welcome people, even the regular pujari’s (priests).
These words did not meet ears with surprise. Our resident monks saw something like this coming, what with all that’s around us shutting down. “The Ford auto plant in Oak
Dear Devotees
I just received a message to communicate to devotees that Ramesvar prabhu’s lungs have been completely compromised by the virus, doctors said they can’t do anything and have given him a few hours. Please pray for Ramesvar prabhu and Krisangi mataji at this very difficult time.
He is a disciple of HH Bhakti Caru Swami and HG Srutidharma prabhu’s close friend and a major part of the temple council of Bhaktivedanta Manor.
May Lord Krsna ease his passage and award him His lotus feet.
Today we are remembering Govinda Hari Dasa, who was known to most people as Igor Spasov. He was a very sincere servant of Krishna, the devotees and mankind.

All day, we are talking about money. At work, money is the centre. That is what it is basically all about; doing all these things to make money. We make money, the company makes money. So money is all we are doing it for. Having a nice meeting – for money! Everyone is present – for money! That is all that is for.
At work, one is busy with money. But then at home, that is enough! How much time can we spend for money? Money comes anyway on it’s own accord. And its also to be remembered that one s

Wish I could meet them
The ladies, the gentlemen
They are very much nestled

The dancing avatar has come
Bengal is where He’s from
