Standing the test of time

(Kadamba Kanana Swami, 11 April 2014, Cape Town, South Africa, Lecture at House Program) The weight of time is the biggest weight of all. Over time to maintain the standards of purity requires a very great effort; in fact, it requires more and more effort. In the material world, in the beginning things are difficult and then

Creating friendships

(Kadamba Kanana Swami, 11 April 2014, Cape Town, South Africa, Lecture at House Program) In a small temple, with predominately congregational devotees – that means devotees who are maintaining a life outside the temple and who have limited time and energy – I think we should appreciate the time spent together and maintain relationships.

The value of a vaisnava

The value of a vaisnava

(Kadamba Kanana Swami, November 2011, Mayapur, India, Lecture: Caitanya Caritamrta Part 3) A puzzling topic is that vaisnavas consider themselves as most fallen. They spend time in presenting themselves as having no qualifications and so on. But Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakur’s song Bhakti-kalpataru basically clarifies the matter, ‘I have received this wish-fulfilling desire tree from my
