An offering by S.B. Keshava Swami, on the occasion of the appearance day of the founder of the International Society for Krishna consciousness, Srila Prabhupada.

For a person desiring to deepen their personal bhajan, Vrindavan is the place to go. A simple environment combined with the association of saintly people from all varieties of spiritual sects provides a rare opportunity to experience spiritual life from all angles of vision.

What happens when introverts or extroverts become devotees? Do they need to change their nature to make tangible spiritual advancement?

Ekadasi plays a vital role in every devotee’s life. It is observed eleven days after the full moon and eleven days after the new moon of every month. On that day, devotees eat simply, avoiding grains, beans and pulses, and use their time to serve Lord Krishna, chant more japa than usual, and read more devotional literature. They spend more time associating with other devotees at the temple.

Spare a day in a week, find a free couple of days in a month, or commit yourself for one week in a year when you can come to the morning program at the temple and experience true spiritual happiness in the association of devotees and in the presence of the most beautiful Sri Sri Radha Gokulananda.

Although the Manor is very famous for the festivals, not all are aware that many sadhus (holy people) reside in the temple. It is the association with saintly devotees that makes the holy place special, and pilgrimage to the temple complete.

Bhaktivedanta Manor is truly a sacred place, non-different from Vrindavan. Everything we require to make spiritual perfection is there. If we tune in deeply into spiritual practice, we will experience much more than the eye can perceive.
