Service to the devotees
(Kadamba Kanana Swami, 01 December 2014, Mayapur, India, Srimad Bhagavatam 6.1.50) Question: To a certain degree, we may want to become pure devotees, but how can we make this desire more solid? Srila Prabhupada explains that everything moves by taste, because if there is no taste, then it is very difficult to do anything. Srimad
Becoming steady
(Kadamba Kanana Swami, 30 March 2014, Cape Town, South Africa, Bhagavad-gita Lecture) Question: How does one become steady in one’s Krsna consciousness? By depending more and more on Krsna.

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)
