Find the devotee

Find the devotee

(Kadamba Kanana Swami, 02 October 2013, Melbourne, Australia, Srimad Bhagavatam 2.3.2-7) We should never think that somebody is not a devotee. We should think that everyone is a devotee! The uttama-adhikari sees everyone as a devotee. We should find the devotee in other people. The devotee is there; we should just find it! When we

Diversity with a common goal

Diversity with a common goal

(Kadamba Kanana Swami, May 2011, Radhadesh, Belgium, Lecture) Our ISKCON movement is growing every day, and not growing only in numbers but it is also growing in complexity!

Quite a story

Quite a story

(Kadamba Kanana Swami, 08 November 2017, Mayapur, India, Russian Lecture, Srimad Bhagavatam 8.6.10) Srila Prabhupada makes the point that Krsna is more eager for us to go back to Godhead than we are ourselves.

Fulfilling Srila Prabhupada’s desires

(Kadamba Kanana Swami, May 2011, Radhadesh, Belgium, Lecture) Srila Prabhupada emphasised book distribution and that emphasis will never go away no matter what we do! There was a time when book distribution was THE EMPHASIS of the Hare Krsna movement and there was only a small percentage of devotees who were not part of it. But as

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.
