WSN March 2023 – World Sankirtan Newsletter

By Vijaya Das

Comfortable Living and Krishna Consciousness don’t go well together

Parasurama Das: The wonderful Tribhuvanath Prabhu used to tell us how Srila Prabhupada often said ” comfortable living and Krishna Consciousness don’t go well together”. Tribhuvanath Prabhu jokingly would say that we should not practice ” cosy yoga”. The bhagavata-dharma, or the cult of Srimad-Bhagavatam, is perfectly distinct from the way of fruitive activities, which...
