Happy Appearance Day!
The conventional understanding of a hero is perhaps that of a Marvel character; one who possesses extraordinary talents and fights evil to save the planet from annihilation. But there are real-life heroes too, whose superpower lies in their ability to influence the lives of others through their actions and dedication. Real-life heroes who sacrifice their
“Never trust a guru who does not dance”
(Kadamba Kanana Swami, 24 April 2014, Radhadesh, Belgium, Caitanya Caritamrta Lecture) I mentioned before that in my early spiritual life there was a devotee named Mahavirya who helped me a lot at that time. Over the years, I completely lost touch with him but then someone found out his phone number. So I called him
The desert of austerity
(Kadamba Kanana Swami, 26 March 2016, Durban, South Africa, Ratha Yatra Q&A: Goodness, Passion and Ignorance) I have one short story. It is a story I made up myself but I think it is quite nice. Once, there was a group of people who lived in an oasis in the desert. In this oasis, they
Become eager for mercy!
(Kadamba Kanana Swami, 29 October 2014, Vrindavan, India, Srimad Bhagavatam 5.13.22) In the beginning of our spiritual life, we come with lots of enthusiasm. Then, after some time, we lose that initial fire and we come into a realm of struggling with all the high standards of Krsna consciousness. We do not feel the same
Refocus
(Kadamba Kanana Swami, 02 August 2011, Flumserberg, Switzerland, Seminar “On the way to Krsna, we meet ourselves”) Sanatana Gosvami makes an interesting statement about austerity for the devotees of Krsna which is: tapas or austerity does not refer so much to the troublesome austerity of the body as much as to one-pointed concentration of the mind.

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.
