Entering the Dhama (9 min video)
Indradyumna Swami: Before entering the sacred drama of Sri Vrindavan, one must take permission from one of five divine personalities; Gopiswara Mahadeva, Yamuna devi, Vrinda devi, Govardhan Hill or Vraja-renu, the dust of Vrindavan. The other day we set out early for the Yamuna river, with the beautiful song by Jahnavi devi, “Like a River” flowing through our hearts and minds. All glories to Sri Vrindavan Dhama! All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

October 29. ISKCON 50 – S.Prabhupada Daily Meditations.
Prabhupada did not judge beforehand who would serve Krishna’s mission and who would not. He was fully surrendered and fully dependant on Krishna. In obedience to his spiritual master he would approach everyone without discrimination to ask for help. There was Sumati Morarji. She had helped him in publishing the Bhagavatam and she had sent him to America. In a recent letter to her, he had only given hints: I am just giving you the idea, and if you kindly think over the matter seri...

Devotees Worldwide Pray for Mukunda Goswami.
Maharaja is currently in the Intensive Care Unit, and his orthopedic surgeon plans to operate on his hip today. According to the surgeon, as well as the general risks of the operation associated with old age, Mukunda Goswami is especially high-risk due to having just undergone a major six-hour triple bypass surgery on top of his already weak heart. However, delaying the operation also carries a high mortality risk, as Maharaja’s lungs have begun to rattle because of his long period of immobility in ho...

October 28. ISKCON 50 – S.Prabhupada Daily Meditations.
Appropriately, Prabhupada had described himself as “a man not to be disappointed.” He was convinced that if there was a center where people could come, hear from a pure devotee, the genuine God consciousness culture of India could begin in America.

Still, he was persistently writing to prominent devotees in India, although they were not interested in his plans.

just as He protects the sages in the forest.
Loitering in neighborhoods
thinking how they could be transformed
for Krishna’s mission.
But it seemed impossib...
