NBS#24 Radha kunda and Shyama kunda
Nectar of Instruction, verse 9, states:
“The holy place known as Mathura is spiritually superior to Vaikuntha, the transcendental world, because the Lord appeared there. Superior to Mathura—Puri is the transcendental forest of Vrindavan because of Krishna’s rasa-lila pastimes. And superior to the forest of Vrindavan is Govardhana Hill, for it was raised by the divine hand of Sri Krishna and was the site of His various loving pastimes. And, above all, the superexcellent Sri Radha-kunda stands s...

The Eighth Bead of Chanting Harinaam!
Sri Govind Gau Gram Prachar Yatra Report to Revuru Village The presence of His Holiness Bhakti Raghava Swami (Minister, ISKCON Daiva Varnasrama Ministry – India) had inspired fresh inflow of energy in the group of devotees. The journey of Sri Govind Gau Gram Prachar Yatra continued, but now with new found enthusiasm. After Mattampalli, their next target was Revuru village. It happened to be a sleepy village with very less population in the same mandal and district as other villages covered in the previous re...

“He had practice in his last life.” Indradyumna Swami: The first morning in the Detroit temple, Prabhupada came down the stairs to give class. Bhagavan’s wife, Krishna-bhamini, along with her first child, one-year old Vaishnava das, were standing near Prabhupada’s vyasasana and I was standing near Krishna-bhamini. When Prabhupada walked in, kirtan was going on and Vaishnava was expertly playing the kartals—sweetly and in time. Prabhupada saw this and said, “Oh, this is very nice.” Then he sat down on the vyasasana...

November 7. ISKCON 50 – S.Prabhupada Daily Meditations.
In his solitary wanderings, Srila Prabhupada made acquaintances with a number of local people. There was Mr. Ruben, a Turkish Jew, who worked as a New York City subway conductor. Mr. Ruben met Prabhupada on a park bench, and being a sociable fellow and a world traveller, sat and talked with the Indian holy man. Mr. Ruben: He seemed to know that he would have temples filled up with devotees. He would look out and say, “I am not a poor man. I am rich. There are temples and books; t...

November 6. ISKCON 50 – S.Prabhupada Daily Meditations.
Prabhupada, having obtained an extension on his Visa, stayed on. America seemed so opulent, yet many things were difficult to tolerate. The sirens and bells from fire engines and police seemed like they would crack his heart. Sometimes at night he would hear a person being attacked and crying for help. From his first days in the City, he had noted that the smell of dog stool was everywhere. And although it was such a rich city, he could rarely find a mango to purchase, and if he did, it was v...

November 5. ISKCON 50 – S.Prabhupada Daily Meditations.
We can be certain that Prabhupada did not reveal everything on his mind to us. Even if we were to ask him, “What do you think of when you chant, Prabhupada?”, it is unlikely he would reveal his innermost state. There is a sastric statement that when a pure devotee appears in the world, he is not really seen by the people. His appearance is compared to a cloud in relation to the moon. The moon is actually stationary in the sky, but it appears to be blowing across the sky with the c...
