Mumbai, October 2015

Written by Nimai From Sydney, Kadamba Kanana Swami travelled to Mumbai and arrived at Chowpatty Temple in the evening of 17 October. Even though Maharaj was still recovering from the flu, he gave Bhagavatam class the next morning. The following day, he was supposed to speak again but a brahmacari mistakenly announced that Prabhupada will

Prabhupada

Prabhupada

(Kadamba Kanana Swami, August 2006, Goloka-dhama, Germany, Lecture) Prabhupada was real, Prabhupada was genuine, Prabhupada loved Krsna, Prabhupada saw Krsna and because Prabhupada said God is blue, He is blue! It is as simple as that! Therefore Prabhupada is the living proof of Krsna consciousness, that it all works. Prabhupada is not only our inspiration,

The subduer of Cupid

(Kadamba Kanana Swami, 17 August 2014, Goloka-dhama, Germany, Janmastami Class, Srimad Bhagavatam 10.41.6-10) There are ten effects of Cupid mentioned by Srila Visvanath Cakravarti Thakur: first comes attraction expressed through the eyes, then the intense attachment in the mind and heart, followed by determination and loss of sleep!

(Kadamba Kanana Swami, 19 September 2014, Cape Town, South Africa, Evening Lecture)   Nothing has changed. Everything is still the same as it was when Krsna was here 5000 years ago performing his pastimes in Vrindavan. Krsna was stealing butter and yoghurt from the houses of all the residents of Vrindavan and all of them

“Wrong way, Prabhu!”

“Wrong way, Prabhu!”

(Kadamba Kanana Swami, October 2010, Melbourne, Australia, Lecture) Question: How can we check if we are going in the wrong way in our spiritual lives?

HH 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)
