By Udayananda DasaI recently received an email from one of our Godbrother’s. It was a copy of some excerpts from a talk you gave on November 14, 2013 regarding "The Glorious Position of Srila Prabhupada". The paper was seven printed pages long and gave amazing vijnana realizations of the appearance and pastimes of Srila Prabhupada supported by appropriate shastras. This was very clear, relevant and accurate forecasting of HDG by the shastras themselves.

By Hari Narayana DasIndonesia is receiving profuse showers of mercy from Their Lordships Sri Sri Jagannatha, Baladeva and Subhadra Devi and is still continuing. In an attempt to glorify Srila Prabhupada to the best of their ability, Hare Krishna devotees hailing from different places of Indonesia under the guidance His Holiness Subhag Swami, took up the most seemingly impossible task of having a Ratha Yatra for Lord Jagannatha in Medan, Sumatera Utara (North Sumatra), Indonesia.

By Deena Bandhu DasaThe Vrindavan Festival after Gaura Purnima is usually quite hot so better to come to Vrindavan before! One year, a devotee told me that he never knew there was so nice weather in Vrindavan. So come to Vrindavan first, and then go on to Mayapur Festival and leave after Gaura Purnima when it starts to get hot! And our festival ends with plenty of time to reach for Mayapur Festival!

By Inmate Bhakta Joseph P.The time I spend chanting the Maha-mantra in the quiet early mornings is one of my most favorite times of the day. It is that special time spent in direct association with our dear Lord Sri Krsna. But there are days when I don’t feel anything special, that even in this most auspicious transcendental activity, I feel alone, and oh, so far from my dear Lord. When this happens, it is easy to wonder if I am actually receiving His mercy; if there is purpose to my chanting or if I am just wasting my time.

By Krishna-kirti dasFor many devotees, and especially for non-devotees, a doubt may arise as to the authority of the Vedic scriptures over the body of scientific evidence produced by the social sciences. Over the years, the hard sciences have produced many discoveries—powered flight, heart transplants, telephones, cars, computers, and so forth. In previous eras these would have been considered miraculous. For the social sciences, the expectation is held that if science is applied to the study of humanity similar miracles will be produced.

By Bhakti Charu SwamiAlthough Shyamlal Prabhu's body was in the morgue for two days, when I saw him, there was a beautiful glow around him. As his body was being prepared for cremation and all the garlands and flowers were taken off, I noticed that Shyamlal Prabhu had his beadbag on his hand but that his hand was stretched to the lower part of his body.

By Nila KhuranaThe Bhaktivedanta Book Trust, Srila Prabhupada's prized institution for distributing spiritual literature for the betterment of society, has had an impact on the world in a tremendous way, the full measure of which we will likely not know for quite some time. Most devotees who have joined the movement owe their commitment and beliefs to reading one of his transcendental publications. Many even joined solely from a book that was given to them by a friend or that sat on someone's shelf for years before being read.

By Sri Arjuna das BrahmachariWhen the first Japathon was held on January 1st 1998, the goal was to chant one name of Krishna for every resident of Boise; the population of Boise then was 100,000 people. As the Temple community grew, we started to chant one name of Krishna for every resident of Idaho, which meant chanting at least 1.5 million names, and since then every year has been a tremendous event, with newcomers and congregation members joining together before Sri Sri Radha Bankebihari to chant together.
