All-India Padayatra enters Maharashtra’s Vidarbha Region.
By Acarya dasa, All-India Padayatra Leader.
HOW DID THE LORD STEAL THE HEART OF AVINASH?
The last time we were in the village of Bori in the Yavatmal district of Maharashtra’s Vidarbha, or eastern, region was in 2009. On that occasion when the villagers came for darsana of Sri Sri Nitai-Gaurasundara, as I was honoring prasadam I called to a young boy who was just leaving to join me. As he accepted one morsel, he said, “Wow! I have never tasted such wonderful prasada...

Being grateful to my first teacher.
Hari-kirtan das: I try to make gratitude a part of every day: the preamble to my morning meditation practice begins with a simple yogic breathing exercise followed by a four-part prayer that includes an expression of gratitude.
But like most people, my mind moves - or gets pushed - a little further in the direction of gratitude.
This morning I remembered one of my first teachers, Urjasvat das, and how grateful I am for his generous tutelage, cheerful disposition, and catchy witticisms. He taught me, among...

Find Your “Jaladuta-Mission”
Sacinandana Swami: Recently we celebrated Srila Prabhupada’s disappearance festival at the Bhaktivedanta Ashram, just by the side of Govardhan Hill. Several Prabhupada disciples were present and spoke about their offerings to Srila Prabhupada and their realizations. Interestingly, a golden thread ran through the individual minds and realizations, this was “Find your Jaladuta”.
Srila Prabhupada had received an instruction to go to the West from his spiritual master and he took a ship calle...

TOVP: Inspection of the GRG factory (Album of photos)
Sadbhuja Das: Today we had a visit on the ToVP site from Ambarisa prabhu on his tour around the ToVP construction site. He’s inspecting the GRG factory (glass reinforced gypsum), which is going to be used for the coffered ceiling in the inner domes. He checked the quality strength and ability of the production and he was very satisfied with what we are doing.
Thank you very much,
Hare Krishna!

Iskcon devotees’ harinama in Puri completely captivated the people (Album of photos)
Bhakti Chaitanya Swami: Yesterday we went on a big harinama around the Jagannatha temple. There were close to 200 devotees, and many thousands of other pilgrims. It was Purnima so everywhere was completely packed. There was a television crew there and they extensively interviewed various of us and took about 20 or 30 minutes of video of the harinama. The ladies were dancing with nice paraphernalia, and it was quite a mind-blowing experience for the people.

Perfect explanation of the “summary of all scriptures” (1 min video)
Srila Prabhupada: In this age, no one is expected to be highly educated in the Vedic ways of understanding because people are very slow, lazy and unfortunate. Therefore Lord Caitanya has recommended the sound vibration Hare Krishna. (Srimad-Bhagavatam, 4.4.6 Purport)

“The cult” of Caitanya Mahaprabhu and a book distribution story.
Bhakta Pratham: “Queen Street is one of New Zealand’s busiest streets. On one of the not so busiest of days, around an hour in, I spotted a young adult who seemed like a death-metal fan. She had pink hair, dark makeup, tattooed arms and legs, and piercings all over her face.
Usually, I would not try to stop a person like that, because in the past all I have received back were four-letter words and middle fingers. So with no hope of stopping her, I still decided...

Safe noise exposure levels during kirtan in the temple.
This text is about too loud musical instruments in the temple.
Sacinandana Swami once joked: “The scriptures predict that as Kali Yuga progresses, devotees will play musical instruments so loud that people will not be able to hear the maha-mantra anymore.”
That might make you crack a smile, but the background isn’t so funny. ISKCON devotees, and in particular kirtan leaders, suffer from a high level of hearing loss. Some parents are afraid to bring their babies into the t...
