After a month-long parikrama of Vrindavan, Mayapura and Jagannatha Puri, I was sad to be leaving India. I boarded my flight to Sydney, Australia, on December 2 with memories of the places I had visited still fresh in my mind.

"Happy Krishna Consciousness World" is a preaching tool television program on the national television of Republic of Ghana in the West Africa.

Maria described the Radha Krishna Temple tape as being "so important" to her and said that she usually "plays it early in the morning." She said that to her it is "sacred, beautiful, enlightening and enduring" and that in listening to it "a very powerful energy is transmitted to you."

During the marathon I was so inspired after reading some of the sankirtan stories that I also wanted to go out and distribute books and asked Prema Kishore Prabhu if I could join his team (which eventually sold 13,000 Gitas, Delhi is the book distribution capitol of the world they distributed 204,000 Gitas during the last marathon).

The story of Lord Brahma going to visit Krishna at Dvarka is one of my favorite stories for reminding me of my insignificance. I think of this story when I am confused with other Karnamritas. I get email for Karnamrita dasi the singer, and I get asked if I wrote the biography of Gaura-kishora das Babhaji, or other books.

Some spiritual practitioners think that now they have achieved some reasonable control of the physical sex urge, they are well nigh up there in the wispy clouds of victorious abstinence, deserving of respect and honour. Wrong! Congratulations on becoming a decent human being. Welcome to the world of subtle selfishness.

Once you get one rack out, you want to put another one, and another one, and another one. It becomes an addiction

The ISKCON Central Office of Child Protection is very pleased to announce the appointment of Mahavishnupriya devi dasi as Assistant Director. Her main services to the CPO will be investigating cases of child abuse, and managing the adjudication process of CPO cases.

The Russian Center in Mayapur (The Spiritual Embassy of ISKCON CIS countries in Sridham Mayapur) has been established to create and sustain various facilities and services for ISKCON devotees from the former Soviet Union federation, visiting or living, in Mayapur Dham and India in general.

As we sat down to have bhajan, one of the local priests, who had overheard me, came and began whispering in my ear. "The chief priest here, who oversees the worship of Radha Kanta, may be able to tell you where the other three Deities are," he said. "He's an old sadhu in his 80s and very learned in the Vaisnava tradition."

PAMHO. AGTSP. I have with me a Video of 16 minutes from our Vrindavan to Mayapur Jaladuta trip by Jamuna and Ganga with MVS. You can see it below:

As of late, in the year 2007, the idea of whether Lord Rama exists or not has been called into question, by no less than some of the politicians in India. So it is a wonder how such persons can be accepted as leaders of the people of India who should be concerned with preserving and protecting the culture of the country.

Actually, the metaphor of a political campaign, in its excitement and competitiveness, seems appropriate to Krishna Consciousness. Devotees want to inject the awareness and teachings of Krishna into the hearts and minds of the "voters."

The best years were those early years of Book distribution, Street Sankirtan and prasadam. You know, we never even drank a soft drink in those days, if it was not prepared by devotees and offered to the Dieties, then we would not eat.

The team and I were scanning the surrounding to avoid being ambushed. It was three of us in my vehicle. Ahead I notice another US convoy, coming our way. I just turned my head for a moment, but as I looked again, I saw a flash of light and the boom that always follows. Almost instantly the vehicle went into flames.

This year, Bhaktivedanta Gurukula and International School of Vrindavan, India, celebrated this holy day in a unique and as one guest observed, “Most novel!” way.

I resolve to reaffirm my dedication to Srila Prabhupada's ISKCON with a view to take very seriously his statement that ISKCON is his body and become determined to heal that body or die trying.

SP: "If you are completely sincere and genuine, then you do not have to find Guru, he will find you" An interesting ISKCON pastime I heard recently in Vrndavana about a hippie in 1966 that used to travel around in Ken Kesey's psychodelic bus dance group.

The prison system can hold me forever, but I belong to Krishna. As soon as I received the Bhagavad Gita, I was given my marching orders to stand up and fight the enemy forces attacking my mind. Like Arjuna I was bewildered by my pain. I started chanting.

The minute I surrendered my personal gratification for the sake of glorifying Krishna, He reached out and extended His energy to include us all, regardless of our commitment to Him.

As some of you may have heard the general / presidential elections in Kenya last Thursday resulted in chaos, demonstrations, riots, looting, killing and severe violence and ethnic conflicts which are still going on.
