Parikrama first day plus adhivas in Yoga Pita
After 4 days of wonderful Sravana Utsava festival, blisfull and an amazing 5 days of Kirtan Mela, the devotees finally left the temple room and the boundaries of ISKCON Mayapur campus. For what? To make connections with the old Kalpa Vrikshas trees, the birds, the land, the dhamvasis, having prasada in a open air and sharing the holy name around in the most sacred land of Sri Navadvipa Dham.

India’s Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, offers his homages to Lord Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu during a recent religious gathering. If only other world leaders could follow his example there would surely be peace and prosperity for all nations of the world!
Srila Prabhupada: The Lord inaugurated this system of mass sankirtana, and leaders of all countries can take advantage of this spiritual movement in order to keep the mass of people in a pure state of peace and friendship with one another. This
Krsna’s dedication to His friend Arjuna.
Aniruddha Dasa: We have a very mature crowd of devotees attending the Disciple Course in ISKCON Dwarka (Delhi) this weekend. It is a pleasure to teach.
I spoke on SB 1.15.17 this morning to an appreciative crowd of local devotees. The class was translated by Amogha Lila Prabhu.
A couple of things struck me in the purport and verse. Krsna’s dedication to His friend Arjuna, exemplified in His becoming His friend’s chariot driver. Arjuna’s humility in regr
By Visakha Dasi
In each of its twelve cantos, Srimad-Bhagavatam, the “flawless ripened fruit of all Vedic scriptures,” tells of miracles and mysticism, of the esoteric and extraterrestrial. We hear a cow, bull, elephant, monkey, and bird speaking deep philosophy. We learn of the four-headed creator who sits atop a lotus flower, of a magnificent aerial mansion, and of a five-year-old who pushes down half the earth with his toe and makes demigods suffocate. We learn of people giving birth to tens
If someone could realize, this is my home. This is Krsna's land, I am Krsna's, I am with Krsna, I am here, I am back. If you could enter that spirit, like those devotees doing Govardhan parikrama, they make little home, one rock here and another rock and one on the top, little sila. They stand in front and they pray. What is their prayer? They may have big bungalow, wherever but they make little little house there and they say, "My dear Lord, when I am finished with this body, could
The latest claim by modern scientists on an asteroid makes me tell you a joke.
A child was sitting in his room continuously shredding papers. His father was perplexed to see him do it everyday with all intensity and sincerity. So he asked the boy:
Father: My dear boy, I see you shredding papers everyday. Why do you do so?
The boy gravely replied, while still shredding the papers: “I do it to prevent elephants from coming inside our home. I am afraid they will destroy my toys.”
Father: But ther

Today we are all suffering from various painful cognitive and negative emotional response mechanisms like fear, distress, anxiety, stress, anger. When circumstances are not favourable to our inner set of desires and when they do not align with our preconceived notions we are overcome by irritability at the drop of a hat. Most of the times in a bid to establish our supremacy over others we resort to negative habits such as verbal abuse, rage and in extreme cases even physical violence. The root c
In a very nice and beautiful morning the devotees left the campsite at Hari Hara Ksetra and headed to Gauradaha.
Gauradaha is a very special place and the pastime which took place there is described by Jagadananda Pandita in his book Prema Vivarta. Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, Nityananda prabhu, Jagadananda Pandita and other associates of the Lord were peforming Harinama sankirtan in this place, where there is a lake. Daha means lake. In this lake a crocodile was living and it was delivered by Gaur
