Jaded Students
Sastra-krit and several devotees hold Bhakti-Yoga Club meetings for students at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles.

All glories to the “Prabhupada Marathon 02”
Dear Prabhu's, Please accept my humble obeisances, all glories to Srila Prabhupada. I hope everyone has had a successful Prabhupada marathon.

The causeless mercy of the Srimad Bhagavatam
Whose home does Srimad-Bhagavatam choose? The home of one who's been raised through and through in the Bhagavata culture? Or one who outright rejects the Vedas' authority and blasphemes the tenets of Bhagatava? Can't say. Bhagavatam, like its subject, Krishna, is svarat, or independent, and out of causeless mercy descends in the lives of readers by using sankirtan warriors as its humble, menial...
