Appearance of Sri Gadadhar Pandit in Mayapur

On the dark moon of 17 April 2026, Sri Mayapur Dham observed the divine appearance of Pancha Tattva member, Gadadhar Pandit, who is none other than the incarnation of Lord Krishna’s eternal consort. In this video, a beautiful Bengali class is translated live from 9 minutes into the video, which begins when Lord Chaitanya meets his guru, Ishvara Puri, after performing pinda for His deceased father. The class is followed by singing of the Gopi Gita by children of the Krishna Lila Fun Club with a reading of the English translation. The video ends with a costumed drama on the life of Sri Gadadhar Pandit, inspired by the writings of Srila Vrindavan Das Thakur.

Vivaha Samskara: Vedic Marriage – Part 1

The Vedic marriage ceremony, one of the 16 samskaras, is a divine system for propagating the family unit. In this first episode, the Vivāha-yajña’s importance is explained in two reasons:

1) begetting a son who can perform the rites of passage (pinda) for deceased parents (as Mahaprabhu performed at Gaya or as Prahlad Maharaj expressed his concern to Lord Narsimha);

2) but also because ideally a son can deliver the ancestors from any hellish conditions. However, the speaker stresses that anyone who becomes a devotee can deliver their parents – regardless of their gender or family background. This insightful class in English (with Bengali translator) explains some basics in astrology, how the heavenly beings are eager to take birth in devotee families, and relaying a powerful conversation by Prabhupada.

In this rare footage, Atul Krishna Prabhu sings the traditional bhajan on stringed instrument. His Grace Atul Krishna Das joined ISKCON Melbourne in 1985.
