| Last night at Peace Yoga in Burleigh Heads, Australia, the Mayapuris revealed once again why they are the pre-eminent Kirtaniers on the planet today. They sing, they dance, they roll and they rock. No-one within the reach of the sound the Mayapuris make is left untouched. Look around you at a Mayapuris program and you will see people having a profound, ecstatic, religious experience. In kirtan you don’t need to wrestle with some complex philosophy, you don’t need to decide what you believe and don’t believe, in kirtan your eternal self, that which you are really made of is directly revealed to yourself.

"O Lord Damodara, I first of all offer my obeisances to the brilliantly effulgent rope which binds Your belly. I then offer my obeisances to Your belly, which is the abode of the entire universe..."
(Sri Damodarastakam) We offer our obeisances unto You, O Lord of the universe, who are so magnanimous as to revealing Your beautiful darsana everyday.
Last Saturday saw a big crowd, eagerly gathering to circumambulate the 'Sweet Hill' and to ultimately enjoy the 'Sweet Hill'. Here are some pictures of the fun that those present were experiencing.
Please note that Vaiyasaki Prabhu will lead the Damodar prayers tonight at 19:00 after which he will give a class on the Month of Kartika.
(Kadamba Kanana Swami, Melbourne, Australia, October 2011)  The main thing in all our devotional service is the chanting of Hare Krishna. This is the most important devotional service of all! This chanting must be done very faithfully, and with quality, as much as we can!

This posting is totally politically incorrect, and probably offensive to some. But here goes anyway: 
"The Archbishop of Canterbury and The Royal Commission for Political Correctness announced today that the climate in the UK should no longer be referred to as 'English Weather'. Rather than offend a sizable portion of the UK population, it will now be referred to as: 'Muslim Weather - 'Partly Sunni, but mostly Shi'ite'."
(Kadamba Kanana Swami, Melbourne, Australia, October 2011)  Srila Prabhupada was the best spiritual master. What better spiritual master could one possibly think of? The best, but still many of his disciples were not successful in following their vows! Because everyone has his own destiny in his hands, so the spiritual master can only help us. Like Prabhupada says:
"When the plane is on the ground, then there is a lot of people around the plane – putting fuel, this and that; checking the tyre, and so many things are going on………..the ground staff are everywhere! But once the plane is up in the air, then you are on your own!" He says that everyone's flying on the plane. So in that way you’re flying your own plane! 
Srimad Bhagavatam 1.3.37 - Krsna reciprocates to everyone - both devotees and non-devotees.

From Prabhupada Meditations, Volume III "Mission Unfulfilled "In the many attempts to remember Prabhupada by 'recall sessions,' reminiscences, daydreams, night dreams, poems, and prayers, I never seem to attain his direct association. Or rarely. When I close my eyes, listen to a 1966 kirtana or think of being with him in his room, I never [...] Selected Writings is a post from: EVERY DAY

 By Indradyumna Swami
Thirty four years ago today you departed from our material vision. Although the departures of pure devotees are celebrated as glorious in the vaisnava tradition, I honestly have never felt this to be a day of festivities. Instead of celebrating, I feel more comfortable spending time alone remembering your pastimes amongst us and reflecting on my service to your divine mission |
