A shallow understanding

A shallow understanding

(Kadamba Kanana Swami, June 2011) We find that sometimes philosophers are bringing up the point that: “How can there be a God? Who is the creator of the material world?” And they speak out against the designed argument that there is an intelligent design behind this world! For example, a philosopher like Yeung would speak

The desire to go back to Godhead

The desire to go back to Godhead

(Kadamba Kanana Swami, June 2011) Understanding that we don’t even want to go back to Godhead. It’s like one day we said: “I don’t know if I really want to go back to Godhead. I mean I’m afraid to go back to Godhead. I’ll miss my mother, my aunty and everybody else. And then I’ll

Driven by self interest

Driven by self interest

(Kadamba Kanana Swami, June 2011) The desire to enjoy the material world or the need of wanting to get out of this material world, is the same thing…..it’s still considered selfish. ‘Bhukti-mukti-siddhi-kāmī, sakali ‘aśānta.’ The sense enjoyer, the karmi or ‘mukti’ – the one who looks for liberation. ….or the ‘siddhi’ – the yogi who

Frustration begins at an early age

(Kadamba Kanana Swami, June 2011) The world is meant to make us frustrated, and you never get what you want! Just like when I was a kid, I made my list of birthday presents that I desired. My father had a habit of buying what I liked, and what I wanted but the quality was

Krishna is extremely tolerant

Krishna is extremely tolerant

(Kadamba Kanana Swami, June 2011) Just imagine Krishna as the Supersoul and what He has to go through to be conscious of all these thoughts of all the living beings! Oh my God, just the thought of it makes my mind feel intense, and if I would know all the thoughts of everyone in this

HH Kadamba Kanana Swami Departs

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)
