Safety Check - Affected Zones
Nityananda Chandra Das: This material world is a dangerous place. In fact, if it had a Yelp review you would be quite surprised. Every ancient saint of every tradition had the same thing to say. Whether it was the Buddha, Jesus, or Śrī Krishna, all stated that this material world is a place of crises. What is the crisis? Everything is temporary. Which means it is virtually non-existent and we are searching for truth and existence in the wrong place.
A person with an unsatisfied heart may do any damn thin...

It’s been hot, hot, hot! And many of our crew have been getting sick and sicker. But life goes on in the Dham, as does our cleaning and prasadam distribution there.
It was with both gratitude and sorrow that we said goodbye this month to a donor who was contributing around 25% of the expenses for our daily prasadam distribution to the widows of Radha Kunda. If you would like to help sponsor one of the 23 ladies now in need of support, please visit…

July 9. ISKCON 50 – S.Prabhupada Daily Meditations.
Satsvarupa dasa Goswami: “If you are not ashamed”
Before I became a devotee of Prabhupada, my friends and I often expressed our determination not to “sell out.” Selling out meant giving up our free spirit and surrendering to the demands of American society. When I moved to the Lower East Side the expression was, “Don’t cop-out.” Don’t give up the hip life and become an ordinary American shmo.
Swamiji’s disciples didn’t think of t...

Srila Prabhupada: The devotee can constantly think of the object of worship, the Supreme Lord, in any of His features—Narayana, Krishna, Rama, etc. – by chanting Hare Krishna. This practice will purify him, and at the end of his life, due to his constant chanting, he will be transferred to the kingdom of God. Bhagavad-Gita 8.8 Purport.

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)
