Welcome to the website of Kadamba Kanana Swami
For most of us we could say that the vows we take, make us act on a level which is more exalted than we would naturally follow on our own accord. Once the vows are there we are facing the challenge to rise up to the level of the vows. As we struggle we become aware that we have to fill in the gap left by the restrictions with inspiration, higher taste, supportive discipline and favorable people and situations. We become humbled, we realize we are not great saints or powerful transcendentalists, but simply depending on mercy to make us carry on. Mercy from Krishna, from His devotees, from the Holy Name, from prasadam, the Holy Dhama and other things that are full of transcendental potency. Eventually we need to become more authentic in being situated on that higher level, that will only happen by always humbly taking shelter of Krishna, without Him we are willing toys in the hands of Maya.

Chandana Yatra

What do I want to share in a diary? Something about life in Krsna
consciousness, not only from a book, but our attempts to be devotee in every
day practical life.
A spontaneous evening
One cannot just discover Krsna by co-incidence. One cannot just by accident encounter Krsna. One cannot by deep philosophical reasoning in thinking about the meaning of life.
Ratha Yatra in Soweto
After a short journey through the streets the chariot, carrying five of Iskcon's leading spiritual masters arrived at Mofolo Park, where guests were treated to a free lunch and an afternoon of singing and dancing.
