The gift of the Panca Tattva
(Kadamba Kanana Swami, 8 January 2013, Pretoria, South Africa) It is only through the mercy of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu and the entire Panca Tattva that Vrndavan is revealed. No other way – not by our endeavour, not by our tapasya, but really by that mercy. And that mercy is manifest especially in harinam sankirtan. In
Nonsense
(Kadamba Kanana Swami, 20 December 2012, Durban, South Africa, Srimad Bhagavatam 12.6.4) Everything is not only emanating from Krsna, ishvara parama krsna, sacidananda vigraha, but everything is also meant for Krsna. The purpose of everything is for Krsna. Nothing that exists is for any other purpose. Everything exists for the purpose of pleasing Krsna and that is
Seriousness doesn’t exclude playfulness
(Kadamba Kanana Swami, Srimad Bhagavatam 4.28.55) It takes maturity to come to the point where one becomes very serious and says, “No, I will no longer play with the material energy.

Sometimes, the word guna is translated as quality and in other times, it is translated as a rope for that
Ancient wisdom prevails
(Kadamba Kanana Swami, 18 May 2012, Melbourne, Australia, Lecture at Bhakti Bhavana) It is so hard to do good things. You think you are doing good but it is so complicated to do good. It is so difficult to determine what is good and what is bad. Something looks extremely good and then after a

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)
