Establishing the holy dham
(Kadamba Kanana Swami, 14 December 2011, Durban, South Africa, Lecture) Disappearance day of Srila Bhakti Siddhanta Sarasvati Thakur His father, Srila Bhakti Vinoda Thakur, established the birthplace of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu to be in Sridham Mayapur.

Beyond this lifetime
(Kadamba Kanana Swami, September 2013, Cape Town, South Africa, Srimad Bhagavatam 8.20.13) We see only the tip of the iceberg and never really know what is going on all levels. We cannot see and that is the whole problem. I may look at the person sitting opposite of me. I may know his name. I
With Krsna, anything is possible
(Kadamba Kanana Swami, September 2013, Cape Town, South Africa, Srimad Bhagavatam 8.20.12) We can come up with a hundred excuses to justify why we do not have to surrender.

(Kadamba Kanana Swami, 21 November 2012, Cape Town, South Africa, Evening Talk) One maybe, or may not be, a great philosopher like Uddhava. Uddhava was a great devotee from Dwarka and Uddhava was a disciple of Brihaspati who is the spiritual master of the demigods. Uddhava was very, very learned and he was also a
The most important person
(Kadamba Kanana Swami, 8 September 2013, Lenasia, South Africa, Sunday Feast Lecture) We have temples where we can associate of devotees and get new inspiration because after all, this is a movement.

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)
