Summer Krishna (7 min video)
Indradyumna Swami: For many people, summertime means vacation time, but for Krsna’s devotees it’s an opportunity to go out and share with the public the wonderful world of Krsna consciousness through chanting the holy names, dancing in ecstasy and holding festivals. Here on the Baltic Sea coast in Poland, we go on Harinam daily, rain or shine, throughout July and August. The blissful result is that each evening thousands of people flock to our festivals. Summer Krsna!

The Supersoul does it again!
Recently I was distributing books door to door in Gisborne, New Zealand. I knocked on one door and had the great fortune to meet Caleb, a very pleasant middle-aged gentleman and committed Christian. As a successful musician, one of the ways he serves is to glorify God through music at Christian gatherings all around the world. Still, I could understand from his respectful and friendly demeanor that he was open to receiving one of Srila Prabhupada’s books. Utilizing the clever presentation HG Vijaya Prabhu kindly shared...

The goal of life.
Ananda Vrindavaneswari Devi Dasi: Golf is not my cup of chai but there is a tournament happening next door so it’s a good meditation. 18 holes, 18 chapters of the Gita. There’s one link. The other is the meandering journey a golf course takes, surely mirroring the meandering journey of our life. At times in the rough, at times flying high, at others chipping away in the sand pits.
One thing golf has are clear goals. Get the ball into the hole with the least number of shots as you can. That’s the focus of all the...

Lifestyle of a Monk.
This is an article which appeared in the Gujarati News Magazine, known as Chitralekha.
It is very interesting to know that how monks or sadhus receive training in ISKCON, the International Society for Krishna Consciousness. Like other institutions, which follow the teachings of Sanatana-dharma, one of the important aspects of training in ISKCON is to become well-versed in the study of the Sastras or the Vedic scriptures. ISKCON has established various centers all over the world, and especially in India to give training to indi...

Krishna’s reciprocation.
Shastrakrit Das: I was flooded with things to do at the temple yesterday ( Sunday ) I forced myself to go out to distribute books at least for a couple of hours.
I set up book table out this Indian grocery. An hour and a half went by and only one book was distributed. I was praying like anything for some results since I had to go back to temple for Sunday feast in the next half hour.
All of a sudden an older Indian gentleman and his daughter came to my book table and took little Maha Prasad. They casually asked if ...

He Govinda!
“Thankfulness is the beginning of gratitude. Gratitude is the completion of thankfulness. Thankfulness may consist merely of words. Gratitude is shown in acts.”
17. Grateful
Any person who is conscious of his friend’s beneficent activities and never forgets his service is called grateful. In the Mahābhārata, Kṛṣṇa says, “When I was away from Draupadī, she cried with the words, ‘He Govinda!’ This call for Me has put Me in her debt, and that indebtedness is gradually ...
