“No !! If you do recover stay here and serve your cows with more and more love and affection. But I order you, never, never, never leave Vrindavan. Never leave … Until that blessed moment arrives when Gopal comes to take you from this Vrindavan to the other Vrindavan, welcomes you with tears, embraces you with love, swears to you that you that He will never allow you to leave again, and then, introduces you to Sudama, Subala, Madhumangala, and you both walk, arm in arm, in the mist of 900,00...

The exultation of being at Govardhana filled me with joy as I absorbed the beauty of this land. But then we got a little closer, explored a little deeper, and we felt sobered. Sobered by the poverty. Sobered by the scattered and piled trash. Sobered by pollution streaming into the sacred waters. It was with sadness that we discovered the troubles beneath the beauty. All the stories we’d heard of Govardhana, the mental imagery that drew us to move to this ancient land, became like jewe...

Dear Devotees around the world, Please accept our humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

Due to the massive earthquake in Nepal on 25th April 2015 Many devotees in Nepal lost their houses in the earthquake and they are living under the tents. Monsoon is approaching very near. We are trying to help build some temporary shelters for those devotees. They are a part of our family. They need our help to rebuild their lives. We can at least try to provide some relief to them. It would be very nice vaisnava seva. Srila Prabhupada would be so happy to see us coming together to help his family ...

I, along with other TOVP Exhibit members were in the Lotus Building attending TOVP exhibits conference on April 25th at 1.00 pm in Sridham Mayapur when the ‎building began to shake. We quickly left our conference room and moved to Prabhupada's park. While we were there, I was informed that a massive earth quake had struck Nepal. My heart immediately went out to the devotees in Nepal. I was anxious to know about their well being. I know you all must be feeling the same. Later I was informed t...

How can we Celebrate BBT ONLY DAY? BBT is requesting all GBCs, ISKCON centers and BBT directors to bring to the attention of all of ISKCON this very important letter that Srila Prabhupada wrote. Therefore it is important to emphasize and commemorate "BBT ONLY" DAY on March 14. We humbly request that ISKCON Temples promote BBT Only Day according to the availability of resources and manpower.

It was like any other day, I was on my way for Life Membership preaching. Nothing was different except for little gossips here and there, people making fun of those tv commentators talking blah blah about the so called cyclone, same thing had happened a couple of months back, people went gungho about the cyclone and at the last moment it changed its direction and nothing happened. The boy at the petrol pump interrupted my thoughts, he asked me teasingly shall I make it full tank swamiji, You know the cyclone is coming. I laughe...

Devotees explain that by offering lamps to the Lord, this means that we offer our eager desire for devotional service, which is the only thing that can conquer Krishna. So we offered lamps on behalf of our Golden donors first to Sri Sri Radha-Damodar, then to Sri Sri Radha-Mahhava and Ashta-sakhis, Lord Nrisimhadev, Sri Pancha-tattva, Tulasi Devi and finally to Srila Prabhupada. We have a sincere hope that all of Them will give us a rope of love, by which we tie Krishna in our hearts.

We have good news and bad news from Ukraine. The good news is that practically all devotees from the Lugansk region have been safely accommodated elsewhere. Meanwhile, the bad news is that as of today, August 29, 2014, it appears that the conflict could very soon be moving into Mariupol, a seaport of 500,000 and home to a very large devotee community. We must be prepared to assist these devotees should the battlegrounds extend into Mariupol and therefore different options for them are already being considered.
