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.

Srutidharma das and Parasuram das had a meeting with Radhapriye ji of Barsna who is part of the team heading the Save Yamuna Campaign. The Save yamuna campaign is trying to bring Yamuna back to Vrindavan, which is the most important river for all worshippers of Krishna.

Did you know that Yamuna River disappears after Hathani Kund Barrage in Haryana?

97% water of Yamuna river is sucked in by canals just before Hathani Kund barrage. Rest evaporates after running few kilometers.

Introduction

In recent decades we witness increasing public awareness about the profoundly damaging effects of accellerating human production, consumption, and mobility on ecosystems of the world; and this awareness is accompanied by a deepening sense of urgency that “something” must be done to stop the current trends of environmental destruction. Environmental activism is now a mainstream activity for all sorts of individuals and groups, not least perso

Janmastami, the most auspicious appearance day of the original Supreme Personality of Godhead Lord Sri Krishna is almost upon us. This particular appearance of Lord Krishna, which takes place once in a day of Lord Brahma, is of very special importance because it is followed by the appearance of His combined avatar form of Radha and Krishna, Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu.

Lord Krishna comes to annihilate the miscreants and re-establish the principles of religion, and teaches surrender as the means of

Good news , we are starting Mridanga Teaching in most traditional style, right from basic to the advance by Bablu Master .

Bablu Master born in 1967, in Godrumadwip , brought up in a very traditional Bengali vaishnava culture. He started his learning of Mridanga from age of 5, from various experts.

Srila Prabhupada said that the highest placed vaisnava in West Bengal was Tarun Kanti Ghosh. He was elected as a member of parliament and was very popular. Tarun Kanti Ghosh owned several newspapers and was a very influential personality. He became elected in parliament by doing harinama sankirtan in all the villages, all over Bengal.

So in my days in Mayapur, I became acquainted with Tarun Kanti Ghosh. He had a house and in the garden, there was a nice temple with large Gaura-Nitai deities. He

Generally people who are not so lucky are called hapless or snakebitten (snakebit). In India it is considered very inauspicious for a snake to appear in one's dreams.  But what if there is a Snake that comes to our aide? A Snake that is not only the origin of all snakes but of all creations too and holds the whole creation on His innumerable hoods in the form of Ananta Sesha.  Then the hapless become lucky, worries disappears, sorrows turn into Joy, the weak becomes strong. All that we have to

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 Madhava enjoy swing pastimes in the spiritual world.

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 intimate exchange of love. Serving together tirelessly for more than thirty days is as enlivening as it is exhausting, and every year the sweetness grows.

On the auspicious occasion of the disappearance day of Srila Vamsidasa Babaji onJuly 27, 2017, we request all devotees to please read and distribute the book - Sri Vamsidasa Babaji.

Srimad Bhagavad-gita (BG 9.13) declares that devotees of the Lord even though situated in the material world are actually under the spiritual energy of the Lord and therefore not subject to material laws. Srimad Bhagavatam (SB 1.1.15) further extols the glories of pure devotees of the Lord and states in a verse that
