The capacity for austerity

The capacity for austerity

(Kadamba Kanana Swami, 30 June 2013, Vrndavan, India, Srimad Bhagavatam 6.16.34) Often, when I read the Srimad Bhagavatam, I think of Bhismadeva with the hundreds of arrows that pierced his body yet he was still totally peaceful. He was still instructing Yudhisthira, whereas we – with one arrow, then call the ambulance. And we wonder which

Causeless mercy

Causeless mercy

(Kadamba Kanana Swami, 30 June 2013, Vrndavan, India, Lecture to the kirtan group) Krsna is so kind, he gives us the spiritual world. I often think about that. Krsna thought to himself: “Oh, there are those living beings who have turned away from me. Things are not complete without them. Let me do something for them.

Totally relaxed

Totally relaxed

(Kadamba Kanana Swami, 4 May 2013, Radhadesh, Belgium, Free Lecture) When we see everything in relation to Krsna, then we can be very relaxed. “Okay, it’s Krsna’s external energy. I prefer Krsna’s internal energy, but this is also related to Krsna and can be used for Krsna.” Like you see in Prabhupada. He’s very relaxed.

(Kadamba Kanana Swami, 30 June 2013, Vrndavana, India, Srimad Bhagavatam 6.16.34) The nice thing about the 24-hour kirtan is that you guys are not alone.

A visit to South Africa – July 2013

After participating in the Serbian summer camp, Kadamba Kanana Swami travelled to South Africa for a short stay (15-25 July). Although the main purpose of this visit was to discuss plans for the new temple project in SOWETO, an African township that is south of Johannesburg, he also travelled around the country and gave several

Deeply rooted

Deeply rooted

(Kadamba Kanana Swami, 02 July 2013, Vrndavan, India, Bhagavad-gita 14.22 – 25) Devotional service itself is the means to become absorbed. So, Gaudiya vaisnavas do not need to spend so much exercise in trying to control the senses. Therefore, Gaudiyas are not putting so much emphasis on austerity or renunciation. It is said that austerity

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)
