Sankirtan Lilas

Hare Krsna Prabhus, Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. While distributing books at a college in Los Angeles, I met a student who told me that when he was three years old he had said to his mother, "I'm older than you. I've lived many lives."

Sankirtan at the Santana Show

Dear Prabhus, Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to to Srila Prabhupada.

The Attitude of all Preachers

The author of Bhakti-rasamrta-sindhu, Srila Rupa Gosvami, very humbly submits that he is just trying to spread Krsna consciousness all over the world, although he humbly thinks himself unfit for this work. That should be the attitude of all preachers of the Krsna consciousness movement, following in the footsteps of Srila Rupa Gosvami. We should never think of ourselves as great preachers, but should always consider that we are simply...
