Keshava Swami, you began explaining how we can perceive the Divine, Who’s present not just in one place, but in all things, all the time. If you’ve ever been stopped by the police, your heart might’ve sunk, But you might get away with it if you’re dressed like Mister Monk! You made the point that we’re escaping this world, and it hit us quite deep, We’re distracted with holidays, movies, alcohol, and sleep. Yet deep in our heart the answer is clear, We’re from another world, and we’re not meant to be here. The first tip you gave, to improve how we live, Is to become more peaceful and learn to forgive. Second is time management, which we should have under lock, With purpose acting as our daily alarm clock. We should also all become detached - it doesn’t matter if you’re old or in your youth, And if you think you don’t, you might wanna attend a seminar on telling the truth
 The next tip you gave was to put our ego to the side; People’s hearts will soften when they see you’re free from pride. More than food and water, in life we won’t be able to cope If we don’t learn to live with the feeling of hope. And don’t forget to be enthusiastic, like an energetic young girl or boy, Don’t you know that singing and dancing is the most natural expression of joy? The final pearl of wisdom that you decided to drop Is that we must learn to keep chanting and never, ever stop. So let’s give this process all our heart. I’m sure if we really try, Then maybe one day, when we chant, a tear will fall from our eye. -Hersh Kataria @hershkat @bhakti.bites . . . #musicandmantra #harekrishna #mantrameditation #bhaktiyoga #spiritualawakening #meditation #BhaktiEnergy #mantrahealing #devotionalquotes #chanting #spiritualhealing #meditation

A target of distributing 5000 books seemed a mountainous task, and after the 2nd week, the goal seemed too far, BUT Krsna had a magical plan...✹đŸȘ„ By the causeless mercy of Prabhupada and the relentless efforts of the sankirtan soldiers who dedicated all their time and energy to make this offering, SSP distributed 6068 books!!!! đŸ˜±đŸ«¶đŸ”„A new record! đŸ’Ș Thank you to all who helped pave the way to this massive achievement. It was only possible by your efforts. Onto another year of spreading these gems. Onwards and upwards! â˜ș

Kenya Part 2 - Thika Farm A retreat from the mainstream world. No pollution, no shops, no screens, no internet. Just us and nature. From time to time everyone needs a reset from the constant action in day to day life. We hear often the importance of grounding oneself with nature and Thika farm is the perfect place for that. A beautiful vast land, home to countless fruits and vegetables: Mango, Pineapple, jackfruit, chilli, pepper, sugarcane, bananas, avocados, the list goes on! Over 100 well cared for cows produce litres and litres of milk daily, which are used in service for the deities at ISKCON Nairobi. Being free from the clutches of the internet allowed us to instead use the time to associate with one another and put more emphasis on our Sadhana (Spiritual Practices) namely chanting and study of the Vedic scriptures. The monks could finally recuperate from what is usually a very busy and hectic lifestyle!

Part One - Nairobi What a week at ISKCON Nairobi! A thriving community that offered us so much love during our stay (and the best Prashad) Youth preaching has become a massive part of this yatras project, with over 50 local students living at the temple youth hostel where they attend philosophy sessions daily and partake in temple activities. Harinam and book distribution is a highlight in the city. The locals love the kirtan and put on a show with their vibrant dancing. If you ever get an opportunity, please visit this wonderful temple!

A heartfelt thank you to all the devotees that participated in yesterday’s book distribution efforts for Balarama Jayanti. It was a huge blessing to be a part of a team of givers, serving together to invite our dear brothers and sisters to join the eternal party that is Krsna consciousness. Book distribution has become a special feature of the Manor’s festivals and we look forward to hitting the streets of Watford in the same spirit next Friday, on Srila Prabhupada’s Vyasa Puja. See you then! 😊 Book scores: Small: 16 Medium: 57 Big: 7 Maha Big: 9 Total: 89 #distributebooks #festival #balaramajayanti #bookstagram #bhaktivedantamanor #revolution #spirituality

Some of the monks here at the Bhaktivedanta Manor spend their days out on the streets, sharing spiritual literature with the public. It’s an activity like no other - full of transcendental adventure, miracles and memories for life! Sometimes people on the street ask us why we do this - giving up our worldly occupations just to stand on the streets and share these books. My answer to them is simple. Imagine you found the cure for cancer - would you keep it to yourself or would you want to make it known to the whole world? The latter of course (I would hope!). We’ve found the cure for birth, old age, death and disease through Prabhupada’s books. So in the same way, as an act of compassion we want to share these books with the whole world! You can really feel Krishna come alive on the streets. Anyone who regularly goes out to share Prabhupada’s books on the streets can tell you countless stories of magical interactions they’ve had with people. Some people are having dreams about these books and then have gone on to receive them soon after. Some people are going through hardships and they get given a book, telling us that they feel like the universe really arranged for this to happen. Some people we meet already have some of these books and tell us that it was life-changing and that they’re eager for another. These books of spiritual wisdom are medicine for the whole world and we won’t stop until everyone gets a dose!
