Are we free?
(HH Kadamba Kanana Swami, Cape Town, 30th June 2012) Lecture: BG Chapter 5 Our mind is daily connecting and disconnecting with so many things in the world, and that is the nature of the mind…accepting, rejecting. So the question is, what are we connecting with? Sometimes we connect with material things – name, fame
How chanting comes to life
(HH Kadamba Kanana Swami, Sacred Space seminar, Fruska Gouranga, Serbia, 2010) By appreciating Krsna’s qualities, suddenly our chanting changes. How many times are people asking: “How can we come to more attentive chanting?” It’s one of those questions that always come back again and again… And there are many answers that can be given.
Servant of the servant
(Kadamba Kanana Swami, 19 September 2012, Cape Town, South Africa) We are aiming to attract Krsna. This is the activity of the spiritual world. You see all these devotees who are competing to attract Krsna, in various ways of course. Srimati Radharani cannot be outdone, so several devotees are assisting Her. And particularly our line
Pit stop in the Cape
From the Soweto Ratha Yatra, Kadamba Kanana Maharaja flew directly to Cape Town. Upon arrival (17 Sept), his intended “short address” evolved into an hour of kirtan at full throttle. Afterwards, he explained the wonders of deities and how they are miraculously interacting with their devotees. On Wednesday (19 Sept), Maharaja was invited to speak
Krsna are you there?
(Kadamba Kanana Maharaja, 21 September 2012, Durban, South Africa) In chanting Hare Krsna, Krsna is already there. We are directly with Him, directly associating with Him. It’s only because we are blind… ‘Hare Krsna Hare Krsna….are you there Krsna? I don’t see You…’ (Krsna says), ‘because you’re blind…’ ‘Hare Krsna Hare Krsna…’ So, blindly we
I joined Prabhupada!
(Kadamba Kanana Swami, Sacred Space seminar, Fruska Gouranga, Serbia, 2010) I didn’t just come to Krsna consciousness to become a member of the club. In fact I don’t like clubs. Sometimes devotees ask me, ‘when did you join ISKCON?‘ My answer is, ‘I never joined ISKCON. I joined Prabhupada!‘ And for Srila Prabhupada I

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)
