Is this a ghost story? It could be if we consider how many of us are nitya-baddha wandering spirits searching for a permanently settled situation. But now we have human occupancy we still like to be scared and awed by graveyard tales. Since the word human sounds better than subtle body, this could be described as a subtle human saga with a divine twist

Our society has started to forget what real human values are, what is natural for people and how we should act as a society. Daily problems, big and smalls torture our minds. We are searching to resolve them here and there. But actually if we look inward, we see that we are the source of all our problems

The recent Australian Kulimela was a great success. Attended by up to 300 devotees and well wishers from around Australia and across the world, many are still swooning over their memories of the association, the kirtan and the prasadam

We all know that Lord Krishna, whose name is Govinda, is the best well-wisher of the cows. Actually, without cows no society can sustain itself. Therefore all of you who are here today participating in this very important conference have a very high responsibility because of the critical condition in which we are faced today

Since I first met him in 2004 it was my custom to visit with Aindra Prabhu each time that I went to India. Last year was no different, and I knocked on his door on 30 June 2010, not knowing that this would be our last meeting

Approximately 5 million viewers saw this picture of the poster advertising the Mantra-rock dance on Wikipedia's homepage, on January 29th, 2011, which was the forty-fourth anniversary of that dance.

Last year we launched the Open Vyasa-puja book - "Srila Prabhupada Tributes" - a book in which all of Srila Prabhupada's disciples are welcome to be included. The success of the book lay in its wonderful offerings - more than 250, from devotees all over the world. Many devotees expressed how they relished the opportunity to write and share their realisations. Based on this success, we plan to publish another Tributes book this year for Srila Prabhupada's Vyasa-puja

One of my main services is to write, and writing involves much editing and proofreading. Through writing I hope to share my knowledge and realization of Srila Prabhupada, my teacher, and of Sri Krishna, my Lord, and please them. One of my main inspirations in this endeavor has been the description of Srila Prabhupada's teacher, Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura, as "the transcendental proofreader":

On Thursday, January 20, 2011, the ISKCON Daiva Varnasrama Ministry (IDVM) for India opened its first Regional Office in Sri Dham Mayapur during an official inauguration ceremony attended by a small group of devotees

It was predicted by a well known reader in London who incidentally also predicted several earthquakes, floods, and 9/11 that at the end of 2010 a new divine energy was to spread from the centre of the earth which will radiate all corners of the earth bringing in an energy which was to change the consciousness of mans attitude towards money in 2011

When push comes to shove, some of us tend to align with science and scientists rather than shastras and guru. Indeed, when presented with what seems like irrefutable scientific data, most will abandon ship and the captain and swim over to the science barge and waltz with the scientists!

After the success of a pilot Bhakti Sastri Online course by the Mayapur Institute for Higher Education (MIHE), the Institute will offer another round of this groundbreaking step in ISKCON education from January 29th 2011 to April 29th 2012

Dearest BB Govinda Maharaja, I'm sorry I can't be with you in Moscow at the auspicious celebration of your sixtieth birthday. I'm far away, but I want you to know that I am thinking of you and remembering you throughout the day

Srila Bhaktivinode Thakur was a prolific Vaishnava writer, contributing volumes of devotional poetry and the first English writings about Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. It has been almost 150 years since his time, and of course, he promoted his son, for whom he was also a siksha guru, Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Thakur Prabhupad

It can sometimes be tough being an intellectual in Iskcon. The tendency to keep one foot in the empirical camp and the other in the devotional arena can cause incompatibilities of faith, especially when continuing to grapple with “oddities” like elephant sized mangoes, airborne mountains, talking hyenas and bodily exuded cosmic bubbles

Bhaktivedanta Gurukula and International School at Vrindavana, India invites applications for High School and Post-graduate Teachers in following disciplines: English, Samskrit, Physics, Chemistry, Life Science, Mathematics and Social Studies

Out of compassion to the suffering souls, our CHAD founder HG Vaisheshika Prabhu writes "Bhagavad-gita is our wake up call. But, we must be ready to hear it. Everyone in the material world is in a precarious and hopeless situation. However, in Maya's warm embrace, I think that I am Okay. But I am not

The Founder Acarya of International Society for Krsna Consciousness, His Divine Grace A. C Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada, used to often give this example of a Blind Man Carrying the Lame Man to stress on topic of co-operation

1. Chant extra rounds 2. Sit around in the temple room doing bhajans 3. Watch a movie and space out 4. Go wild on Hari Nama I know where I was, and it was grrreaat! nobody knows how to party like the sankirtan party

Thousands flocked ISKCON Secunderabad temple, in a gold rush to see 21 kunda Gita Jayanti maha yajna on Vaikuntha Ekadasi. This almost resulted in a stampede but presence of a Police contingent and NCC cadets saved the day

Next month marks the auspicious 8th Anniversary of Vrinda Kunda Temple opening! To celebrate we are organizing special parikramas to the Holy Places of Braja, culminating with our famous Kalash Yatra, an ecstatic Sankirtan procession with the ladies carrying water pots with coconuts on their heads

Over three magical days, Friday 20 May to Sunday 22 May 2011, Sydney Temple will be celebrating that unique bond. The Temple will be hosting a whirlwind of memorable events that shouldn't be missed
