Radhanath Swami speaks at Divine Life Society, Rishikesh, India.
→ Dandavats.com
Shri Vimalananda Saraswati, the President, introduced Radhanath Swami and praised the accomplishments of Srila Prabhupada, the guru of Radhanath Swami. He acclaimed Srila Prabhupada’s braving two heart attacks on his voyage to America and gifting the world with the chanting of the Holy Names of God.
Radhanath Swami sang bhajans and kirtans and spoke, recollecting an incident years ago when he was invited to speak at the same place by Swami Chidananda Saraswati. At that time Radhanath Swami had asked Swami Chidananda Saraswati what he should speak on. The Swamiji had, without a moment’s hesitation requested him to speak on the famous verse of Sri Chaitanya’s Sikshastakam, ‘trinad api sunicena’. Read more ›

Mother Indrani departed
→ Dandavats.com
It is with great joy and jubilation, yes there is no remorse or regret here, that I inform everyone of the passing from this mortal world of Srimati Indrani Devi Dasi, dear disciple of His Holiness Bhakti-tirtha Swami and beloved grandmother of the entire New Raman Reti community. After spending her last few hours being visited by scores of New Raman Retivasi’s she peacefully passed from this world. At the time of her passing which was the 528 year of Lord Gauranga, Visnu masa, Asvini naksatra, on the cusp between the dvitiya and tritiya tithi, she was surrounded by devotees chanting kirtan, the japa of the Holy Name recited by Srila Prabhupada being played, garlanded with deity garlands from Radha Syamasundara’s altar, wearing Nrsimha kavaca’s, with Govardhana sila on her chest, massaged with various Nrsimha oils and gently sprinkled with Yamuna water. She passed away in a very peaceful and stress free manner, simply finishing her breathing for this life. Read more ›

Surrender unto the Living Bhagavata – an online booklet
→ Dandavats.com
“If you want to understand Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, then you go and study Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam from the pure devotee. Then you’ll understand. Otherwise, you’ll write all these nonsense.” Bhāgavata para giya bhāgavata-sthāne. So one bhāgavata… The two bhāgavatas. You study Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam from living bhāgavata. So if one does not take or does not surrender unto the living bhāgavata, he cannot understand Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam. Many scholarly, learned scholars, Sanskrit scholars, they cannot understand Bhāgavatam. Read more ›

Breaking News!! Statue of Nirākāra Brahman was stolen from the temple!
→ Nityananda Chandra Das' Blog, ISKCON Dallas
At around 11:08 last night His Grace Ayudhya Prabhu and Nirguna Rupa looked everywhere for the statue and concluded that it must have been stolen. An anonymous donor had paid the high price of $16,108 for the inconceivable statue and records have shown that the statue was duly shipped.
(This is where the statue was going to be installed – Picture by channel 12 news)
When interviewed by the news, Avyaktā Das and his wife Arupina Devī Dāsī revealed,
“It is really hard to figure out how are we going to find this statue, for we do not know what it looks like, it’s color, it’s height, nor do we even know how we feel about it being missing. Even Krishna in the Bhagavad Gita 12.5 says that to find Nirākāra Brahman is very troublesome.”
Oh and by the way HAPPY APRIL FOOL’S DAY
