Kirtan 101
(Kadamba Kanana Swami, 13 January 2014, Mayapur, India, Lecture: Kirtan Academy 1) I would like to say something about kirtan since I like kirtan. There are different sides to it. There is the essential side which is the service that we render by chanting the holy name; engaging our mind and senses in chanting; and
It is possible to say NO to illicit sex!
(Kadamba Kanana Swami, 31 August 2017, Durban, South Africa, Srimad Bhagavatam 2.10.26) Once Brahmananda Prabhu was speaking to Srila Prabhupada about his university days. Brahmananda had written in an essay that everyone in this world inherently has a spiritual inclination, an innate drive to connect with the Supreme Lord, and his Professor totally disagreed and
Radhastami is coming
(Kadamba Kanana Swami, 23 September 2012, Durban, South Africa, Radhastami Lecture) If we want some deeper understanding of the aim of life, it is possible by the mercy of Srimati Radharani, who is most compassionate. She is more compassionate than Krsna. We can easily attract that mercy by doing some service. This is the key! We
A divine appearance
(Kadamba Kanana Swami, 23 September 2012, Durban, South Africa, Radhastami Lecture) Just as Krsna’s appearance was not ordinary, in the same way, Srimati Radharani’s appearance was also not ordinary. One day, Maharaj Vrsabhanu was approaching the Yamuna and within the waters of the Yamuna there was one extremely effulgent lotus flower. The effulgence of that lotus
The most outstanding of the gopis
(Kadamba Kanana Swami, 23 September 2012, Durban, South Africa, Radhastami Lecture) Krsna says in Bhagavad-gita (4.11), ye yatha mam prapadyante tams tathaiva bhajamy aham, ‘As you surrender unto Me, I will reward you accordingly.’ But with the gopis Krsna says, ‘I don’t know what to give them! With them, my promise falls short because I have nothing
No more agitation!
(Kadamba Kanana Swami, 15 January 2013, Amsterdam, Netherlands, Srimad Bhagavatam Lecture) As long as we are too preoccupied in dealing with what is happening to ourselves, “My situation, my desires, my problems, my issues, my experiences!” as long as that is in the foreground of our thinking, we are in trouble because by nature we

Dear Devotees
On Thursday 9th March at 12.06pm, under the gaze of Śrī Giriraja, in the holy land of Śrī Vṛndāvana dhāma, in the loving company of his spiritual master and the vaisnavas, with a resounding kirtan party, His Holiness Kadamba Kanana Swami departed from this material realm.
"Intelligent persons who take shelter of beautiful Vrndavana's opulent vines melting with motherly love, and throw far away the idea that they are material, become supremely successful, both in this life and also after death." (Prabhodananda Saraswati, Vrindavana Mahimamrta)
Support the Foundation
Kadamba Kanana Swami showed us , by his own example, to use everything in Krsna's service. And he requested us to continue his service by supporting the Kadamba Foundation.
