His Holiness Bhakti Caru was one of Srila Prabhupada's great Generals. Sent by Krishna to help Srila Prabhupada in his mission, he was immediately tasked to translate all Srila Prabhupada's books into Bengali. He is as appreciated for his warm personal association as he is for his service contribution - we are lucky to have festivals such as this to remind us of what a true Vaishnava really is.

In this story, a Russian devotee hands her grandpa a little summary of Prabhupada’s life - and suddenly he’s having a Cold War flashback! Turns out, Grandpa was a soldier in the Soviet military back in 1965, literally in charge of launching nukes at the U.S. (no big deal, right?). And get this - on the exact day Prabhupada arrived in Boston, the order to stay on nuclear alert was mysteriously called off. Grandpa was shook. Coincidence? Destiny? Divine intervention? You decide.

"After darśana, I met my dear Godbrother, His Grace Jananivāsa prabhu. For the past few months, he was on a world tour, carrying Lord Nityānanda’s pādukas and Lord Nṛsiṁhadeva’s śaṭhārī for TOVP fund-raising, and he returned to his home, Śrīdhām Māyāpur, on 21st July. I welcomed him back to Māyāpur and told him that we missed him." - His Holiness Jayapataka Swami Maharaj, 23rd July, 2025

Bribing your way out of a traffic ticket? Sure, that might work on a tired police officer with a sweet tooth for 100-rupee notes. But trying to slip a bribe to Yamaraj, the Lord of Death? Yeah… good luck with that. This video dives into the harsh reality - you can’t talk your way out of karma. Also - when Prabhupada was asked why young people are becoming sannyasis, he flips the script and asks, “Who’s really old? The one closest to death.” Spoiler: that could be anyone. Time to rethink your plans for next weekend.

Swing into the monsoon vibes with the Julan Yatra Festival—Mayapur-style! With over 8,000 people joining in, epic kirtans, pushpa abhishek, pot-breaking fun, and a whole new garden venue, it’s a real festival of devotion. Oh, and did we mention the prasadam? Come for the darshan, stay for the feast - and yes, catch it all live on mayapur.tv. They've even built a waterproof road so the devotees don't get muddy!

Your support keeps this swingin’ celebration going, so if you feel generous, throw a little donation their way. Hare Krishna.

Lalita Devi, the leader of the eight principal gopis, is known not only for her deep love for Radha and Krishna, but also for her unmatched cleverness and creativity. During the Sanjhi festival—a celebration of divine artistry and devotion—she gently orchestrates a beautiful reunion between the Divine Couple at Govardhan, through a sweet and sacred plan.

Radha, unable to leave home during Pitru Paksha, is consoled by Lalita’s idea: to create Sanjhi flower art as an offering to Sandhya Devi. With Jatila’s permission, Radha gathers flowers—and with Lalita’s guidance, finds herself in the very grove where Madhava is waiting. What follows is a tender exchange of words, glances, and shared devotion, all centered around the joyful offerings of Sanjhi.
