It happened while on a train…
(Kadamba Kanana Swami, 27 September 2009, Cape Town, South Africa, Bhagavad-gita 2.11) In this life, we are trying to enjoy as much as we can and at the same time, we are trying to duck the unpleasant things that are sometimes flying around. I had this experience one time in India; I was riding on the train with an
Caught in two worlds
(Kadamba Kanana Swami, 3 October, Sydney, Australia, Bhagavad-gita class) Question: Lot of the time, you speak about having taste in spiritual life. I have read that taste can be developed by someone who is free from material hankering. So, how to be free from material hankering? Freedom from material hankering begins when we turn to
Great devotees
(Kadamba Kanana Swami, 20 May 2012, Melbourne, Australia, Seminar: Mahajanas – part 2) Question: We know that when Caitanya Mahaprabhu appears in this world, he comes with all his personal associates like Rupa Gosvami, who is Rupa Manjari in the spiritual world.

He was the only disciple of Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Thakura who was given ‘babaji’ by Srila Bhaktisiddhanta. Well, the babajis are really
On blindly following tradition
(Kadamba Kanana Swami, 15 September 2012, Pretoria, South Africa, Initiation lecture) There is a story which I like to tell.

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.
