Entangled in Service – No time For Maya!!

Entangled in Service – No time For Maya!!

Once you start doing it you become so entangled in engaging your energy in the service of Krishna that you don’t have any time anymore for sense gratification! That’s how

Feeling separation….Krishna wants more now!

Feeling separation….Krishna wants more now!

We should increase the quality of our chanting, that ‘s what it means: “The ten offences- it is also offensive to be inattentive while chanting the holy name.” To not be inattentive but to really chant to increase the quality, improve the quality. As soon as we feel even a little bit of separation from

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)
