All sorts

All sorts

(Kadamba Kanana Swami, September 2017, Cape Town, South Africa, Evening Class) I remember going door-to-door on book distribution and it was all okay until I came to this one house. The door opened and there was a monster – a huge guy, all leather clad, looking like an enormous Hells Angel. In those days, there

There are techniques

There are techniques

(Kadamba Kanana Swami, September 2017, Cape Town, South Africa, Evening Class) There are techniques to book distribution. Vaisesika Prabhu is not only a leading distributor in our society but Vaisesika has demystified it. Book distribution has always been sort of a mystical thing!

(Kadamba Kanana Swami, September 2017, Cape Town, South Africa, Evening Class) There are always people who will say no to a book today. In their mind, they had to make the choice and they said no.

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.
