Anything done to please Krishna, at any time, at any place, under any circumstance, is beneficial. As Krishna Himself says about devotional service to Him, “In this endeavor there is no loss or diminution, and a little advancement on this path can protect one from the most dangerous type of fear.” (Bg. 2.40)
Such is the benefit of devotional service in general. However, during certain times of year, such as appearance anniversaries of Lord Krishna and His devotees, the benefits

Srimati Radharani is the eternal consort of Lord Krishna. Five thousand years ago, when Lord Krishna came to this planet to perform His pastimes, Srimati Radharani also appeared. This special day is known as Radhashtami. The following is adapted from a lecture by His Holiness Varshana Swami:
“On a half-moon night in the month of Bhadra, King Vrishabhanu came to the Jamuna to bathe and found himself engulfed in a golden aura, the golden aura of pure love. It was emanating from a lotus, which had a

The other day we set out early for the Yamuna river, with the beautiful song by Jahnavi devi, “Like a River” flowing through our hearts and minds. All glories to Sri Vrindavan Dhama! All glories to Srila Prabhupada!
