Tightening the screws
(Kadamba Kanana Swami, 20 March 2013, Cape Town, South Africa, Srimad Bhagavatam 8.12.6) Krsna consciousness starts with inspiration. First, it is the unknown spiritual benefit which gets purified and then attraction develops. Jagai stopped Madhai from hitting Lord Nityananda for the second time because before that, Jagai had already appreciated the kirtan, he said, “They sing
Accepting Krsna’s plan
(Kadamba Kanana Swami, 1 October 2006, Cape Town, South Africa, Initiation lecture) Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Thakur said that in Krsna consciousness, one must be prepared to change his life and not just a little, not just partial but rather that this Krsna consciousness is a total revolution. So, it means that we have to be
It’s about vision
(Kadamba Kanana Swami, 30 March 2013, Durban Ratha Yatra, South Africa, Inter-religious dialogue) True God consciousness is about vision. It has to do with seeing God.

It’s very powerful. Very subtle. Just suggesting. Not trying
Struggles in our service
(Kadamba Kanana Swami, 9 April 2013, Pretoria, South Africa, Disciple meeting) So, what I would like is that our relationship goes beyond formality.

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)
