The regulative principles of liberation
(Kadamba Kanana Swami, 30 July 2016, London, England, Initiation Lecture) Endeavour is required to make progress in this material world and austerity is part of it but austerity is not the goal.

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.
