Holy Name just penetrates

(Kadamba Kanana Swami, 5 March 2021, Goloka Dhama, Abentheuer, Germany, Preparing For Gaura Purnima Lecture) The soul is buried in layers of consciousness but the Holy Name just penetrates!

A great source of bliss

(Kadamba Kanana Swami, 12 April 2020, Durban, South Africa, Vyasa Puja Lecture) I appreciate the chanting of sixteen rounds.

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)
