Srimati Radharani is the dearmost consort of Lord Sri Krishna. Listen to the song ‘Radhikastava’ on Her wonderful qualities.

Radhikastava was composed by Srila Rupa Goswami (one of the direct disciples of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu), praying to Srimati Radharani to shower mercy upon him. She is the bestower of “Love” for Lord Sri Krishna. By Her kind mercy we can attain Krishna-prema.

Praying to Ganeshji for MATERIAL advancement deepens your materialistic bonds and does not free you for attaining the highest perfection of human life, namely service to the Supreme Lord Krishna & a devotee worships Lord Ganesh in order to have their path towards devotional service to Sri Sri Radha and Krishna cleared of all impediments.

In the ‘Brahma Samhita’ it is stated that Lord Ganesha derives his powers to destroy all impediments by worshiping the lotus feet of Lord Narasimhadeva (the

THE GLORIOUS POSITION OF SRILA PRABHUPADA.
(Excerpts from a talk by HH Bhakti Charu Swami on November 14, 2013)

Srila Prabhupada’s unique position has been very well summed up by HH Vishvesh Tirtha, the pithadipati of Sri Krsna Matha in Udupi in the following way in praise of Srila Prabhupada:

“Of all people, the devotee of the Supreme Lord is the greatest. And in order to become a devotee, one does not need to be born in any specific type of class or caste or nation. Devotion to Krsna was l

Giriraj Swami: Yesterday was Gunagrahi Maharaja’s memorial program in Vrindavan, and I wrote him the following letter:
My dear Gunagrahi das Goswami Maharaja,
Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada, to your lifelong service to him, and to your divine departure to his lotus feet.
When you were leaving Dallas to go to India in the face of your cancer, you gave me the opportunity to see you off.
When you were traveling in India and dealing with so many issues and devel

Bhakta Mukesh: Arrival of a sadhu is the sign of Lord’s mercy; and when this mercy coincides with Balarama Jayanti that precedes Lord Krsna’s appearance day – it’s all the more a reason to rejoice in festivity and dance in ecstasy. Therefore, to celebrate the confluence of these holy tithis with the arrival of HH VedaVyasaPriya Swami Maharaj, the Journey of Self Discovery, Wellington, organised several events and festivities including a two-day Otaki retreat in honour of Maharaj and other senio

When we talk about the planet’s earliest civilization, we are talking about the world’s earliest sophisticated society after the last ice age. This means that according to the Vedic time tables, various forms of civilization have been existing for millions of years. But the first record of an organized and developed society was the Vedic culture that arose in ancient India with the Indus Sarasvati civilization, and then spread out from there in all directions around the world.

Often times we se

Dear Maharaj,

You were special. I have never met anyone like you. You were so cool, totally real, and uniquely funny; and you had this unusual sixth sense for making people Krishna conscious. You just knew how to get into people’s hearts, both devotees and non-devotees, and you knew exactly what was needed to do this in every situation. You touched the lives of many, many people because you were both a special person and deeply cared for others. Your related to everyone and thus everyone relate

A gentleman who is involved in education in ISKCON, and for whom ISKCON functions as his religious institution was bemused when he made the decision to send his daughter for university studies. Some well meaning friends commented that going to the university was morally and religiously evil or contaminating. He asked us if we could write a little about this. As we began to discuss the topic a little we found that it is a common theme amongst many people who have a life in both the religious and

By Kadamba Kanana Swami

When was the first time you connected with someone within the realm of Krsna consciousness? How did that develop into what it did?

All those times in India that I visited, I never met devotees. But, I had seen devotees in my town in Holland. They came in a little grey van and then all these pink men came out of it. It did not seem possible for so many men to fit into such a tiny van. So instantly, I knew that something was up here. (laughter) Then, they made a line and s

My dear godbrother and friend, Giriraja Maharaja,

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

I am not usually without words but glorifying you is challenging because there is so much to say and so little time to say it! I could talk for hours about your extraordinary qualities as a disciple of Srila Prabhupada, as well as reminiscing about our 30-year friendship which is one of the deepest and most satisfying in my life.

From time to time we hear that a certain devotee is “mature”. We know it is a positive thing, but what does it really mean? How can we become the kind of devotee that others will call “mature”? What is the evidence regarding “maturity” in our revealed scriptures?

I think it is a good topic for discussion and would like to hear the realizations of others. Here are some of my thoughts:

1. One of the hallmarks of a madhyama adhikari is knowing how to properly interact with diff
