For the fanatics

It is a conviction that is born out of other motives. We want to be advanced and recognized because of ulterior motives. In fanaticism, the motive is not Krsna’s pleasure; the

The bottom line

The bottom line

(Kadamba Kanana Swami, September 2013, Cape Town, South Africa, Srimad Bhagavatam 8.20.13) Bali Maharaja had that mood, “Whatever may come, I will accept it as the mercy of the Lord and I will remain faithful in service to him.” So that is our saving grace.

Nothing but devotional service

(Kadamba Kanana Swami, 03 November 2013, Vrindavan, India, Lecture: Damodar Lila) Kartik is the month of Urjja Vrata – the vow to offer the lamp to Krsna. But just the lamp, is that all?

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)
