No ordinary gifts
(Kadamba Kanana Swami, 8 September 2013, Johannesburg, South Africa, Home Program) There are favourable principles described: dadāti pratigŗhnāti guhyam ākhyāti pŗcchati bhuńkte bhojayate caiva ṣaḍ-vidhaḿ prīti-lakṣaname, (Nectar of Instruction, Verse 4) It is said that first one must give, one must generously give. Yes, devotees, they are giving. It is about giving gifts but
To become a messenger
(Kadamba Kanana Swami, 8 September 2013, Johannesburg, South Africa, Home Program) Our position is to become a messenger, to become an instrument and follow the path that Krsna went, then we will transform in the process. We “desire” our whole life so we must adjust our life. The Hamsaduta is a work of a hundred and forty
Live in pure waters

A little bit of love is helpful
(Kadamba Kanana Swami, 25 July 2013, Durban, South Africa, Srimad Bhagavatam 1.3.6) When I was the temple president, we had a sannyasi staying at the temple named Radha Govinda Maharaja.

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.
