How are people going to read Srila Prabhupada’s books?

(Kadamba Kanana Swami, 8 December 2011, Durban, South Africa, Srimad Bhagavatam 11.22.6)     We find that people read less or do not read at all. Public libraries are feeling the impact and may soon close down. How are people going to read Srila Prabhupada’s books when people are moving away from Srila Prabhupada’s books and moving

‘Forget it, no fumigation!’

(Kadamba Kanana Swami, 2 January 2013, Durban, South Africa, Srimad Bhagavatam 12.8.46) Srila Prabhupada said, ‘Simply because you are dirty, that is why your house is infested with mice, rats, cockroaches and so on.

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.
