An interview on ‘Radio Slovakia International’

During his recent visit to Bratislava (Slovakia), Kadamba Kanana Swami was interviewed on national radio and amongst others, was asked these three questions: What is the allure of the Hare Krsna movement?

Levels of worship: Part 4 – Eastern impersonalists, Shaivites

(Kadamba Kanana Swami, 16 May 2013, Simhachalam, Germany, Srimad Bhagavatam 9.7.21) Transcribed by Jnana-samudra das Greater than the Ganapatya’s are the Shaivites, or the impersonalists.

(Kadamba Kanana Swami, 25 May 2013, Simhachalam, Germany) When I came to Krsna consciousness, those were the days when there was only the deep end. Swimming pools have the parts for the toddlers where they can paddle around and then a deep end. Well, when I joined, there was only the deep end and the motto

The ultimate satisfaction

(Kadamba Kanana Swami, 25 May 2013, Simhachalam, Germany) In his purport, Prabhupada is beginning to write about varṇāśrama; he writes, “One must be properly situated.” It must be known that when Srila Prabhupada was writing these purports, just at that time, there was an extraordinary situation.

HH Kadamba Kanana Swami Departs

Dear Devotees

On Thursday 9th March at 12.06pm, under the gaze of Śrī Giriraja, in the holy land of Śrī Vṛndāvana dhāma, in the loving company of his spiritual master and the vaisnavas, with a resounding kirtan party, His Holiness Kadamba Kanana Swami departed from this material realm.

 

"Intelligent persons who take shelter of beautiful Vrndavana's opulent vines melting with motherly love, and throw far away the idea that they are material, become supremely successful, both in this life and also after death." (Prabhodananda Saraswati, Vrindavana Mahimamrta)
