Dalston Festival, UK - 20th July 2017 (Album with photos)
Srila Prabhupada: Golokera prema-dhana, this hari-nama-sankirtana, chanting of Hare Krsna mantra, this sound vibration, it is not material. Suppose if I would have advised my disciples that “You chant ‘Mr. John, Mr. John, Mr. John,’ ” this movement would not have spread. [laughter] How long one can chant this “Mr. John, Mr. John”? Therefore it is the proof, that all over the world we have got about hundred centers. Everywhere, hundred, two hundred, three hundr...

What does a prayer mean?
Question: My contemplations on prayer find me asking for a clear definition of what prayer is. I heard that it means to glorify the Lord. Also that chanting the Holy Name is the best prayer. Also that prayer means an intense desire.
What does a prayer mean? Is it accepting Supreme position of the Lord and subordinating my will to His Will?
How can I pray with a heart that gets frequently doubtful about Krsna and His devotees? Nonetheless I pray because I have seen nothing else working out and I have been recommended to ...

Interview with Jaya Jagannath Das.
They call me “Jaya”. My spiritual journey began when I was 17. At that time, I was training as a ballet dancer in New York (I had started training when I was 11 years old). I was also on the quest for love. I had a vague idea what to look for, but nothing that was very concrete. Sometimes, I would walk a hundred blocks hoping that I would bump into love someday! Of course it never happened. Later on, my roommate and cousin introduced a book to me by Carl Jung called “Man and His Symbols”. In th...

The Original Formula (7 min video)
Indradyumna Swami: Lord Caitanya’s movement started with Harinam samkirtan - going out and chanting the holy names in the street with musical instruments. The process is as effective now as it was then. And it will work for the next 10,000 years. All glories to Sri Krsna samkirtan!

The “Love’s Lessons” Book.
Author: H.G. Bhakti Vijnana Goswami.
At the end of last summer, Bhakti Vijnana Maharaj published a new book called “Love’s Lessons”. It became apparent right away that it was going to be the pearl of spiritual literature. On one hand, “Love’s Lessons” permeates right into your heart, ignoring all those mental channels that have been stuffed with media noise and stereotypes. On the other hand, it is very rare to find such a brilliant description of a great personality t...
