Let’s get the mercy!

(Kadamba Kanana Swami, 10 July 2013, Fruska Gouranga, Serbia, Seminar 2) No place in the world can attract me, I must honestly say, after Vrndavan. What’s the point of any hill when it’s not Govardhan Hill? What’s the point of swimming in some lake when it’s not Kusum Sarova, when it’s not transcendental – even […]
Causeless mercy

(Kadamba Kanana Swami, 30 June 2013, Vrndavan, India, Lecture to the kirtan group) Krsna is so kind, he gives us the spiritual world. I often think about that. Krsna thought to himself: “Oh, there are those living beings who have turned away from me. Things are not complete without them. Let me do something for them. […]
Totally relaxed

(Kadamba Kanana Swami, 4 May 2013, Radhadesh, Belgium, Free Lecture) When we see everything in relation to Krsna, then we can be very relaxed. “Okay, it’s Krsna’s external energy.

Many gurus

(Kadamba Kanana Swami, 28 April 2013, Radhadesh, Belgium, Vyasa Puja, Questions and answers) Relationships that are of a deep nature between vaishnavas, that are affecting one’s entire spiritual life and that have a binding effect on one’s spiritual life – such relationships can develop into diksha or siksha-guru type of relationships. There’s incidental siksha – maybe […]
Eternal engagement
→ KKS Blog
(Kadamba Kanana Swami, 03 May 2013, Radhadesh, Belgium, Free lecture) It’s not enough to say that God is merciful. We have to qualify that mercy. The mercy is not only about pulling us out of the material world, but the mercy is also about giving us the spiritual world and giving us an eternal activity […]
