Serve together to stay together
(Kadamba Kanana Swami, November 2015, Vrindavan, India, Video Interview) Divorce happens because husbands and wives fight like cats and dogs. This happens because Krsna is not in the center. When Krsna is in the center and both husband and wife try to serve and please Krsna then there is no need for divorce. Divorce happens

(Kadamba Kanana Swami, May 2010, Simhachalam, Germany, Nrshima Caturdasi) Our movement did well in the beginning with strictness but sometimes lacked in human kindness.

Love is a big word
(Kadamba Kanana Swami, November 2015, Vrindavan, India, Video Interview) I have no love at all. I selfishly go to Vrindavan, just thinking of how much benefit I can get. Thinking of whatever little bit of mercy and dust I can get, so that I can be delivered from all this suffering in the material world.
I've created this foundation to preserve my media and to support African preaching programs in South Africa

1953 - 2023HH Kadamba Kanana Swami Departs
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.
