The Parchment.
Indradyumna Swami: Dearest Prahladananda das and Vraja Kumari dasi. Please accept my blessings. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
I see myself as a “scripted devotee" someone who puts pen to paper to organize his thoughts. And so it is that I read an offering to you on this auspicious day of your marriage. Having a written parchment will afford you the opportunity to revisit this day of mirth and joy, and remember whatever humble advice I can offer to you about how to make your journey together on the path of Krsna consciousness...

Is bhakti yoga meant for sentimentalists?
In India, there is a common notion amongst the intellectuals that…………
Bhakti yoga is meant for sentimentalists, children, women who cannot think, but who are only fit for clapping hands and doing some bhajans.
Jnana yoga is meant for intellectuals, thinkers and those who have reasoning power. Jnana yoga is superior to Bhakti yoga.
Impersonal understanding of God is all-inclusive because one may accept any form of god like Ganesh, Siva, Durga, Rama, Visnu etc ultimately all...

“My realization this Kartik”
Spending the most Auspicious month of Kartika in Vrindavan is a wonderful chance to meet beautiful devotees from all over the world. To obtain the blessings of the senior devotees and love of the friends in the dhama is all the more reason to be there.
I and my husband (Rasapriya das) try to be there to grab the mercy of the Devotees and Deities in the Kartika. This Kartik of 2017 again brought us to the Holy Dhama in the association of so many effulgent Sanyasis and devotees.
We had a great opportunity...

From 29th Jan to 12th February we will celebrate with special parikramas to the Holy Places of Braja.

Havi das’ interview.
Havi values special moments in his spiritual life, such as the time he got to wash Srila Prabhupada’s feet in Venezuela in 1975, much more than he does any of his career achievements.
He is eager to warn younger generations of devotees enamored with the idea of fame and the Grammys that there is a dark side to the music business, with predatory record labels taking advantage of artists, morally bankrupt companies like McDonald’s sponsoring awards shows, and more.
And ultimately, he says, people worship pop ...

“Our current turkey, Curley Sue, has been with us for three years,” says ISKCON Tucson temple president, cook, groundskeeper and all around busiest-person-ever Sandamini Dasi. “She’s from Wilcox, a small nearby farming town, and is very friendly. She just sits out on the patio during the Thanksgiving meal, being fed by a...

Death at any moment…
Kadamba Kanana Swami: In many ways, old age is a blessing. For a Vaisnava, it is a great blessing. Why is it so? Because then, there is no more distraction. When we are young, we have so much fight. “Oh, I want to enjoy… but I have to be Krsna conscious! I should be Krsna conscious. I really want to be but I want to enjoy also.” When you are old, “Yeah, I want to enjoy but let’s be real. Can I? Can I really?” You can try to squeeze a few more drops out of the old broken machine but it is n...

Just Like That!
Ananda Vrindavanesvari: When I was 21, a close college friend of mine died. Suddenly, just like that. And I felt like someone had cut the phone line and I could never speak to her again. It was over and I was shaken to the core.

Chapati means hot!
Sravanananda das: While in Madras we had a nice facility for Srila Prabhupada to stay at in a life members home at night. But during the day he would come to the temple. One day I was asked if I would cook for him. I said that I had never cooked for Prabhupada before, so Harikesh said, Ill cook. We made a little sitting area for Srila Prabhupada and when I brought him his plate, he touched the chapati and said, Chapati means hot. I ran back to Harikesh and told him what Prabhupada said. He said, Okay, Ill cook the chapati and you ru...

Gopala Campu by Jiva Goswami.
The Gopala Campu is one of the all time classic texts in the library of the Gaudiya Vaisnava. The Gopala Campu, literally “the story of Gopala,” gives descriptions of pastimes of Lord Krsna. As this format is a Campu, a mix between praises, songs, and virudavalis (free-form poetic forms without real adherence to meter of the song), there is text, and at appropriate places, a song will be sung. Within the main text, there are two campus, namely purva (Volume 1) and the uttara (Volume 2). There are nineteen songs...
