Kirtan Rasa 2019 in Dubai (video)
When that name enters the holes of the ears, we desire many millions of ears. And when the holy name dances in the courtyard of the heart, it conquers the activities of the mind, and therefore all the senses become inert. (Caitanya-caritamrta, Antya-lila, 4.71 purport, Vidagdha-Madhava 1.12)...

He is a major force behind the Los Angeles Ratha-yatra and many Ratha-yatras around the world, and this is just a small drop of his accomplishments. Everyone loves Ratn...

Purushottam Nitai Das: Just turn the pages of the history of India and you will come across the life stories of scores of eminent men and women who had all the means to enjoy their material life, but they willingly gave it up to pursue their spiritual goals. They weren’t satisfied just to satisfy the demands of their mind, senses and body. Animals do the same thing. Their conscience would constantly nudge them to look something which was not material and not e...
