From Abhiram Gopal Prabhu:
In Kunti’s character in video 2 in the Mahabharata Characters Course, in the same video you mentioned how she said that Bhima has mantras to kill the demon in ekachakra in order to hide revealing their identity and then you mentioned she had never spoken untruth and therefore Draupadi had to marry all 5 sons since it came from her mouth.

Kirtanparty.com Launches Drive to Increase Street Chanting

“The first point is that it should be pure,” Vaisesika says. “The devotees who are singing should be very much dedicated to a life of devotional service. And they should be taking shelter of the Holy Names as they’re singing, knowing that they’re simply broadcasting, but that it’s the power of the Holy Name that’s attractive to people.”

July’s Kirtan London newsletter
Dear Kirtan Londoners! Last month in New Delhi, 35,000 people took to the large avenue in front of the presidential palace to practice yoga together in the open air. Similar events were held in Osaka, Beijing, Paris, Seoul and New York. It was all in honour of the United Nations designated ‘International Yoga Day’, designed to promote yoga as a practice that supports physical and spiritual wellbeing, as well as respect for the environment and all living creatures.
We at Kirtan London think it’s a great idea, and following our recent outdoor Festival of Chariots in Trafalgar Square, are hoping that public practice and awareness of yoga in all of its many forms becomes more and more popular.

Friends, if I argue with you, I argue with you. Please don’t wear the plastic armor that by arguing with you I am arguing with Prabhupāda. It should be pretty obvious how wildly pompus that attitude is. Yes, you are a devotee, an ISKCON member, a disciple of Prabhupāda or of Prabhupāda’s disciple, etc. but this doesn’t […]

Japa is the quiet prayer. You say it loud enough so you can hear it, but it’s mostly for yourself.
Radha and Krishna can hear you. They’re close by, so you don’t have to shout. But They’re listening carefully, so you pronounce with great care.
