Few topographical changes are as tragic and traumatic as the drying and dying of a river. The disappearance of the Saraswati river thousands of years ago reduced a fertile and flourishing civilization in North-Western India to the barren expanse of the Thar Desert. Today the Yamuna River, one of the largest water resources in India, faces the same fate; the United Nations has already declared Yamuna to be a dead river

I know that you are all very busy in your respective services and I don't want to take too much of your time, but kindly take to notice a humble request l have to make. Recently we purchased a piece of land right in the center of Ulaanbaatar, the capital of Mongolia, for which we were raising the funds. The next phase we are planning is the construction of a temple

Srila Prabhupada said about The Temple of the Vedic Planetarium (TOVP): “We are going to have a very big project at Mayapur…The plans and contemplations are going on in different phases, now when Caitanya Mahaprabhu will be pleased it will be taken up.”

You are probably already familiar with Sarvabhavana dasa, one of the heroes of the book “Salted Bread.” For the so-called “crime” of distributing books in the former Soviet bloc, he was imprisoned and repeatedly beaten severely. The results? KGB agents knocked out several teeth, and there was permanent damage to the ones he kept, both due to being beaten and the poor diet in Soviet prisons and labor camps

To my dear disciples and any other devotees who may be interested, Hare Krsna. Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupad! By now most of you will have gotten the news about my situation and perhaps read the general letter that I sent out to ISKCON devotees.

We wrote an official statement which rejects this claim, and work to counteract it. Once more my humble request, please ask the devotees to sign the petition on-line. You may read to them the exerpts from the "expert testimony" (included here) for the Sunday feast class! We did not even reach 50 thousand yet. Please, help us!

Today, when asking for fruit and vegitable bhoga donations at the vegetable market, I asked shop manager to 'be generous' in the "spirit of Christmas". He asked me if we believed in that.

A few months back, I wrote you all asking for monthly financial support to help keep Prabhupada’s 1st western temple up, running and under ISKCON care. My reasoning was that this temple is of global concern and surely the worldwide ISKCON community has a stake in whether or not its bills can be paid

A dip in the River Yamuna found in Braj-Vrindavan today does not bring about a true sense of fulfillment. This should not be surprising as there is not a drop of original River Yamuna on the river bed in Vrindavan

Over the past few days I've read the many sincere and well written testimonials that have appeared on dandavats. com in praise of Sriman Gopiparanadhana Prabhu, who passed away untimely at holy Govardhan a few days back. However, there is something missing, and I would like to publicly make a humble submission in this regard

He is drifting in and out of consciousness, but is mostly unconscious and cannot breathe at all on his own. One lung is completely collapsed, the other one full of mucous. They have moved him back to his home at the temple in Ulnasgar as the doctors said there is nothing more they can do at the hospital

October 21st - 6.00 pm. The end of the world when God will unleash no end of disasters in the form of earthquakes, tsunamis, hurricanes and whatever it takes to end everyone except His elect sect who will ascend to heaven. Actually it was supposed to be May 21st but somehow the Lord gave a little more time to the non-believers to repent and reform before doomsday
