By Sacred Street PartyThat Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu appeared to give love of God to the most fallen. He came to give the topmost to the most fallen. And not just love of God. Although love of God is rare in this world still love of God can be found also in other traditions. But nowhere can the quality of love of God be found as Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu has displayed it.

“This was an amazing day in yet another way, because shortly after the class, I met two siblings who are devotees and wanted to start a campus club. They needed a faculty member to sponsor it. I said that I could most likely arrange that with the professor I just met. I went back to the prof and asked him whether he could sponsor a club. He was so enthusiastic about helping that he said he will also take part in the gatherings.

By Ananta dasi and Karuna Dharini dasiAll of us who had the good fortune to know Yasoda Priya Devi Dasi will eagerly testify to her excellent character and deep devotion. Once, when asked how one could recognize a true devotee of Krishna, Prabhupada said, "He is a perfect gentleman." Prabhupada would agree that one can similarly recognize a true Vaiṣṇavī by her character as an unfailing lady. Yasoda-priya exemplified that quality by which one can recognize a true Vaiṣṇavi. The glory of Prabhupada's Krishna consciousness movement shines through on occasions like this, for we realize that the Lord's...

He said, "If you had married that mataji the Temple President told you about there would have been Hell to pay." So by grace of Lord it seems I have dodged one bullet.

By Chandan Yatra DasNashik is one of the most principal places in the lila of Sri Sri Sita Ram Laxmana. It is here that Laxmana cut the nose of Surpanakha, the sister of demon Ravana. Nashik means "nose", and thus this city got its name. In Nashik at a very holy place called Panchavati, Sri Sri Sita Rama Laxmana spent about one year of their exile before Ravana kidnapped the mayaic expansion of Sita Devi from here. Exact spot where Sri Sri Sita Rama Laxmana lived in Panchavati (Kalaram...

By GBC SPTThe glories of Pancavati-tirtha at Nashik are enumerated in Valmiki's Ramayana in the Aranya-kanda and in Sri Garga Samhita, “Twice as sacred as the mud of the Ganga is the dust of Citrakuta. Ten times more sacred than that is the dust of Pancavati-tirtha”. Lord Balarama and Lord Nityananda came to this place and visited all of the Tirthas. Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu during His South Indian tour also came here to Panchavati, Nashik and He went along the river Godavari back eastwards. Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu did wonderful kirtan, chanting, dancing, transforming everyone into Krishna prema while He...
