Our pāda-yātrā party was passing through the village of Talugudi on June 14^th  . Rupa Ragunath Maharaj was about to leave for Argentina after having spent some time with us.  He said to me that day, “We should dress Sri Sri Nitai Gaurasundar very nicely with beautiful garlands.” We usually make simple garlands but I agreed that having nice garlands for Their Lordships would attract more people to take Their darsana too.

Kamsa was stricken with fear. He waited so many years for the 8th child to be born. All his moments were taken up, anticipating the arrival of Krishna. His fear had gone to that extent where he thought of killing his own sister instead of waiting. It was his natural option but he completely refrained from it. He felt the consequences would be too severe. In the pages of history, we see such carnage where

Love must be one of the most over used and perhaps undervalued words in the dictionary. I’m just as guilty as anyone else, declaring my love for cheese on toast, lying in the sun, or, confession time, Raymond Chandler.

In the true sense of the word I wouldn’t say I really love any of those things. For me love means an awful lot more than just liking something rather a lot. Actually in the language of my scriptures, Sanskrit, the word love is only used in connection with God. These texts, known

Everything was seemingly normal before VERTIGO struck his life. BPPV is a type of vertigo which has no medicinal cure. English medicine can atmost try to control the condition but no cure is possible. Google also confirms this.

VERTIGO - is a sensation of losing body balance and in severe cases require assistance while walking. 

This devotee from Bangalore had his parents, wife and his small child dependent on him.

As he tried to get it treated through different doctors, physicians, a strong se

Two weeks ago at Bhaktivedanta Manor, a new garden was dedicated to Srila Prabhupada and his disciples. Since it was the week in which we were celebrating the 50th anniversary of the formal establishment of ISKCON, I gave the following speech:

If you would please look up and cast your eyes behind me towards this sequoia tree. It’s at least 100 feet high. It was planted here in the 1880s by a gardener who never got to see it the way we can see it today. This tree is one of 183 trees here at the

A nice South Indian gentleman, Suresh, and his family approached my book table a couple of months ago and bought Krishna Dharma's thick 
Mahabharata from me. We exchanged numbers. I send favorable people some Krishna conscious quotes.

Recently, to my surprise, I received a text from Suresh saying that his 12-year-old son Sreyas is on a school break for the summer and has 
read the Mahabharata three times cover to cover. Sreyas kept asking Suresh for more books about Krishna. Suresh suggested t

The visitors will relax in comfort and watch high-quality presentations of professionally made FullDome films, using only top grade technology – the same technolo

Ever since his childhood, Srila Prabhupada was always very fond of Lord Jagannatha. At the young age of five, Srila Prabhupada, who at that time was known as Abhay Caran, wanted to hold his own Ratha-yatra festival in his birth home in Kolkata. Despite having some financial difficulties, Krsna arranged everything, and little Abhay held his first ever Ratha-yatra festival at home. Many years later, ISKCON’s first ever Ratha-yatra was held in Los Angeles, San Francisco on July 9, 1967, and tens
