After viewing the installed Kalashes and Chakras, Sadbhuja and Rangavati prabhus have decided that the Dome brackets which hold the Kalashes in place need a color adjustment to match the gold color of the titanium nitrate Kalashes and Chakras. They have created a new design which includes painting sections of the Dome brackets gold.

To fulfill the need for a durable, weather-resistant and long-lasting paint they have turned to a German based company named Keim known for its high quality paints.

Many artists are only recognised for their greatness once they are dead but Beethoven was famous during his life but then, he went deaf. Can you imagine that!? It was practically the worse thing that could have affected him. For a musician, the ear is essential. People who cannot sing, it is not that they cannot sing – they cannot listen! Music begins with listening. It is all about the ear, really!

Beethoven, with the perfect ears, who he could perfectly hear different tones and notes, went de

The former president of the ISKCON temple in Brooklyn, New York, Ramabhadra Dasa, has kept the temple locked shut for the last ten days, and this past Sunday he had the “ISKCON” sign removed from the face of the building. The sign had announced the temple’s identity for years.

Most by college program organizers asked me to speak on “Spirituality in the age of science.” Not wanting to speak the same content again and again, I started approaching the topic from different angles in different talks. And I soon discovered that I had enough approaches to address this topic in a full book. One such talk centered on “The hard problem of consciousness” at the Texas A and M university, College Station. I explained how consciousness is the basis of all our knowledge – even the d

Every year the youth of Mayapur come together and work to make the festival what it has been for the past thirty-two years – an intense mood of loving devotional service.

Jhulan Yatra takes place every year in the monsoon season over a period of five days, leading up to Balarama Purnima. This is the time when Srimati Radhika and Her beloved Sri Madhava enjoy swing pastimes in the spiritual world.

My tour to the West in 2017 was the longest till date, lasting for three months and extending across forty cities in five countries: USA, Canada, Trinidad, Panama and UK. During the tour, by Krishna’s mercy, I gave around 132 classes and answered around 1000 questions. Here I share some of the highlights of the tour.

Jhulan Yatra has been inspired from the swing pastimes of Krishna and his consort Radha during their romance in the idyllic pastoral groves of Vrindavan, where the divine lovers along with their cowherd friends and ‘gopis’ took part in joyful swinging in the cool monsoon season.

Everyday at 7:00am and 7:o0am between the 3rd and 7th of August 2017.

Conversation with Srila Prabhupada

Jan 21 1977

Hari-sauri: So those persons who can’t come up to the standard of the temple life…

Prabhupada: Yes.

Hari-Sauri: …they should remain outside.

Prabhupada: That is above all the guṇas.

Ramesvara: That’s very rare. That is the most rare.

Prabhupada: Yes.

Ramesvara:  Not every man. You always say it’s not possible for every man.

Prabhupada:  No, that you cannot do. Because you are in the material world, how you can avoid the influence of material qualit

After last years success in contributing towards 50 padyatra’s worldwide as part of the ISKCON50 campaign, ISKCON London agreed to help in continuing this program as an addition to the already vibrant festival season in the UK.

This year’s vision was that by organising a Padyatra event and walking between two of our satellite centres we could bring together the devotees from this region for an offering to Guru and Gauranga in an alternative yet highly traditional presentation
