BG 15.34 purport

Let’s take Gaddafi for example, a Libyan revolutionary and politician. He was one leader who never learnt from his mistakes arising out of autocratic le

Hare Krishna Dear Devotees,

Sarvabhavana Prabhu’s book “Salted Bread”, which is about the persecution of the Russian and

Armenian devotees in the early days of the former USSR, is now again available for purchase after long

three to four years. The Book contains a lot of information about the publication and distribution of Srila

An awards festival to commend the various musical artists and bestow a Nityananda award is long overdue. Anyone inter
