“Sringara-vat is a place where we can come and meditate on the expertise of Krsna, the Gopas, and the Gopis in dressing Their respective Deities and refine that devotional service ourselves.”

“Gauranga, Gauranga, Gauranga!” – Indradyumna Swami Nectar

“Nityananda was sitting here anxiously waiting for the Sankirtan movement to begin. Sometimes, He would call out, ‘Oh, My Brother! Where are You? Where are You? When are We going to go out and deliver the fallen conditioned souls? Gauranga, Gauranga, Gauranga!’ This whole area is permeated with the loud chanting of Nitai chanting the Lord’s Holy Names.”

“The real desires of the heart” – Indradyumna Swami Nectar

“The real desires of the heart” – Indradyumna Swami Nectar

‘Kamyavana’ means that forest where all your desires are fulfilled. Of course, that doesn’t mean material desires, it means spiritual desires. We’re all very familiar with our material desires; they’re quite embarrassing. But by the mercy of our Spiritual Masters we’re beginning to learn what are the real desires of the heart … Our spiritual desires.”

Radha Raman

Special Mercy of Radha Raman – Indradyumna Swami Nectar

Special Mercy of Radha Raman – Indradyumna Swami Nectar

“On the kind invitation of Pundrik Goswami, of the Radha Raman temple in Vrindavan, we have been invited to participate in his week long service to the famous deity of Radha Raman. Today we participated in a parade through town and many arotikas in the temple. We had the honor to lead kirtan in front of Radha Raman and take full prasadam from His plate. Participating in the seva this week is a unique opportunity, for in the early days of our movement Srila Prabhupada often encouraged his disciples to learn deity worship from the Radha Raman temple. One special mercy was that I had darshan ( from a distance ) of a Govardhan-sila worshipped by Gopal Bhatta Goswami. We thank our spiritual master, Srila Prabhupada, for gradually revealing to us the glories of this transcendental abode.”

Madana Mohana

“Please free us from material desires” – Indradyumna Swami Nectar

“Please free us from material desires” – Indradyumna Swami Nectar

“Everyone in this world is controlled by Cupid. But Cupid is controlled by the beauty of Krishna. It is very appropriate that at the beginning of our Parikrama, we have come to the temple of Madana Mohana. We have come to the Deity of Madana Mohana to pray, ‘Please free us from material desires so we can serve You purely without motivation.”
