→ Dandavats.com

NEW YORK: Yoga got a strong leg up on the world stage when Prime Minister Narendra Modi called for observing an International Yoga Day, describing the ancient science as "India's gift to the world." Modi's unexpected reference to yoga during his UN General Assembly speech came when he was talking about climate change and going back to basics.

1968 September 28: "The description given in my books are not mundane speculations but they are authorized versions of liberated souls presented by our humble self. So the strength is not in us but the strength is in the Supreme Lord. We simply must present them without adulteration in humble service spirit. That is the secret of success."

TRANSLATION
By chanting the holy name of the Supreme Lord, one comes to the stage of love of Godhead. Then the devotee is fixed in his vow as an eternal servant of the Lord, and he gradually becomes very much attached to a particular name and form of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. As his heart melts with ecstatic love, he laughs very loudly or cries or shouts. Sometimes he sings and dances like a madman, for he is indifferent to public opinion.

Krishna says that his devotee is never vanquished. Therefore all the disciples practicing Krishna consciousness should obediently follow the regulative principles and remain fixed in chanting the holy name of the Lord. Then there need be no fear. Otherwise, one's position is very dangerous, especially in this Kali-yuga. (Srimad-Bhagavatam, 6.1.58 Purport) Read more ›

Does ISKCON consider the English of the 1920s to be sacred?
→ The Spiritual Scientist

From Prof Rao:

I am a Professor of English and am interested in Krishna consciousness. I find it strange that most ISKCON preachers use the English of the 1920s in the words they choose, the way they make sentences and convey their ideas. Does ISKCON's philosophy consider that English to be sacred that you are preserving it hundred years later? If yes, why?

Our children from Varahaghat and Goghat got a pleasant surprise when Rosania Rasavilasini Devi Dasi piched up at their door with special gifts, toothpaste, soap and toothbrush!!

Televised Kirtan and Katha With 50,000 Viewers in Skopje (Album 19 photos)
→ Dandavats.com

Indradyumna Swami: Yesterday, as soon as my flight arrived Skopje, Macedonia I was whisked away to a live 30-minute talk show on "24 News," one of Macedonia’s main television channels. The theme of the program was, "Cultural Origins." The show was viewed by 50,000 people. Amongst the many topics covered, I elaborated how our Krsna consciousness movement is based on the Bhagavad Gita and is part of one of the oldest spiritual cultures in the world. I discussed how God is a person and that we can connect with him through chanting His holy names. Towards the end of show the host asked me to demonstrate the chanting, so I led a one-man kirtan for a short while. He concluded the interview by explaining to the audience how the chanting made him calm and peaceful. The following is a link to the show. The interview is a little difficult to follow because my voice is dubbed over by a translator ☺ http://www.24vesti.mk/za-zhivotot-26-09-2014 Read more ›

Prabhupada Letters :: Anthology 2014-09-27 07:02:00 →

1967 September 27: "By the Grace of Guru one gets Krishna and by the Grace of Krishna one gets a bonafide Guru. One minus the other is no good for the devotee. Guru and Krishna are two parallel lines on which the spiritual express runs very smoothly. Do not ever try to approach Krishna directly. Anyone who talks of Krishna without service to Guru will not be successful."
