Few topographical changes are as tragic and traumatic as the drying and dying of a river. The disappearance of the Saraswati river thousands of years ago reduced a fertile and flourishing civilization in North-Western India to the barren expanse of the Thar Desert.

Organize special kirtans or dedicate existing kirtans to the Yamuna cause. 4. Organize special programs or dedicate existing programs to the Yamuna cause.

You are probably already familiar with Sarvabhavana dasa, one of the heroes of the book “Salted Bread.” For the so-called “crime” of distributing books in the former Soviet bloc, he was imprisoned and repeatedly beaten severely.

The new "Church Law" in Hungary will take away ISKCON Hungary's church status as of January 1st requiring us to re-apply for the same next year.

A few months back, I wrote you all asking for monthly financial support to help keep Prabhupada’s 1st western temple up, running and under ISKCON care.

A dip in the River Yamuna found in Braj-Vrindavan today does not bring about a true sense of fulfillment. This should not be surprising as there is not a drop of original River Yamuna on the river bed in Vrindavan

October 21st - 6.00 pm. The end of the world when God will unleash no end of disasters in the form of earthquakes, tsunamis, hurricanes and whatever it takes to end everyone except His elect sect who will ascend to heaven.
