One Will Be Betrayed By The Material Energy

(Kadamba Kanana 02/05/2002) The material energy is such that it relentlessly attacks everyone. I just got a letter and someone was in Kanpur on the railway station and it was the day after Ramanavami and suddenly he had a little dizzy spell, in a moment he was in hospital , a cut on the head

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)
