Harinama in Mardel, Argentina (Album of photos)
Srila Prabhupada: In the material world, everything is full of anxiety (kuntha), whereas in the spiritual world (Vaikuntha) everything is free from anxiety. Therefore those who are afflicted by a combination of anxieties cannot understand the Hare Krishna mantra, which is free from all anxiety. (Sri-Caitanya-caritamrta, Adi-lila, 7.74 Purport)...

VRAJA MANDAL PARIKRAMA (Album of photos)
We will be back on Parikrama tomorrow, each day Parikrama comes packaged with fresh adventures, new challenges, and deeper realization of our relationship with Krishna. Most of our first-time pilgrims have adapted by now and are thriving on the experience-their smiling faces testify to the truth of this. We will walk from Nandagram to Kokilavan tomorrow, and on the way visit many places of divine pastimes.

The Forest Of Monkeys (Album of photos)
Indradyumna Swami: Our parikrama party visited Chamelivan, the forest of jasmine flowers, where Radha and Krsna meet often for Their pastimes. One time Mother Yasoda came there searching for Krsna. Hearing she was coming Krsna jumped into a lake and came out looking like Hanuman. When Mother Yasoda saw “Hanuman” she offered obeisances and left. A playful pastime! A unique feature of the forest is the many thousands of monkeys that live there.

Srila Prabhupada: The Hare Krishna movement is present in every millennium of Lord Brahma’s life, and the holy name is chanted in all the higher planetary systems, including Brahmaloka and Candraloka, not to speak of Gandharvaloka and Apsaroloka. The sankirtana movement that was started in this world five hundred years ago by Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu is therefore not a new movement. (Srimad-Bhagavatam, 2.7.15 Purport)
