Over the past three weeks, more than 164 disciples have gathered online in a heartfelt celebration of the life and teachings of Kadamba Kanana Swami. The three Zoom meetings, organised with great devotion, have been an overwhelming success, bringing together disciples and well-wishers from across the globe.
The series began on March 1st, featuring a carefully curated selection of kirtan clips and profound wisdom from Kadamba Kanana Swami. These included footage from his final Vrindavan Parikrama and his powerful reflections on Krishna Consciousness. In one memorable moment, he reminded us:
“So dear devotees, in all these years I have always looked for independently thoughtful people, people who stand on their own legs, who are mature, who understand why they are doing this Krishna Consciousness and who have good reasons for it, who have thought about it and therefore say, ‘Yes, I make a commitment.’ Then we need each other, then we need community, and when difficulties come, that community is there.”

The second Zoom meeting, held on March 8th, ran even more smoothly as organizers refined the technical setup. It opened with an uplifting voice introduction, guiding attendees through some of the most inspiring moments. Once again, devotees were immersed in the powerful kirtans, accompanied by images of dancing devotees. The session also featured clips from a Zoom meeting he held in his small Vrindavan apartment, where he warmly addressed his disciples:
“There is unity in diversity. Everybody is different, and somehow you all have a connection with me. I hope you can all keep some sort of friendship and be nice to each other.”

The third and most emotional episode left devotees in tears as it revisited the moment Kadamba Kanana Swami officially announced his stage 4 cancer diagnosis. He shared his journey through medical consultations in South Africa and London and explained his decision to courageously and peacefully accept Krishna’s arrangement. This deeply moving session brought back the reality of that moment, as he called out names from the Zoom audience, leaving heartfelt messages of encouragement while fighting back his own emotions.
“Ours is an eternal connection” said Kadamba Kanana Swami.
