To enjoy or to serve?

To enjoy or to serve?

(Kadamba Kanana Swami, Finland, 2011) Even with Vrindavan, there is a danger that we can become the enjoyer of Vrindavan, rather than in the mood of serving in Vrindavan. So there are many who are going to Vrindavan, not only in the mind but physically, enjoy Vrindavan: ‘Oh Vrindavan….Vrindavan….Vrindavan!’ Even in Vrindavan one must always

Falling into a comfort zone

(Kadamba Kanana Swami, Finland, 2011) We should not fall into a comfort zone where we think: “Well, I’ve only been a devotee for five years, so you cannot expect much from me.

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.
