Sanga 13

Welcome to Episode 13 of the Krishna.com Sanga podcast.

In this episode, Nagaraja reads "A Life of Ideal Service" from the March / April 2007 issue of Back to Godhead magazine. This is an obituary article about the life of His Holiness Bhaktisvarupa Damodara Swami, a life-long devotee of Krishna who recently passed away. During his lifetime, he spread Krishna consciousness around the world, especially in his home state of Manipur, India. He directed the Bhaktivedanta Institute to further the scientific study of the soul. And he organized two world congresses for the Synthesis of Science and Religion, attended by scientists, nobel laureates and religious leaders including His Holiness the Dalai Lama.

In news from our web gift store, Loka talks about some of the items we've received from India: musical instruments like tablas and mrdangas, and new women's clothing.

Sanga 12

Welcome to Episode 12 of the Krishna.com Sanga podcast. We highlight four new books about Krishna that just arrived from India: A new translation of Rupa Goswami's Bhakti Rasamrita Sindhu (2 Volumes) by Bhanu Swami. The Glories of Ekadasi, translated by Bhumipati Dasa, describes the stories of the 26 Ekadasi (fasting) days in the Vaishnava calendar year. And two historical commentaries on Lord Krishna's Bhagavad-gita by eminent Vaishnava scholars, now available in English: Saratha-varsini-tika, by Visvanatha Chakravarti Thakura, and Gita Bhusana, by Baladeva Vidyabhusana.

You'll also hear an up-close and personal interview with Mayapur Lila Dasi, one of our staff members who comes to us from South Africa. She talks about her first encounter with Krishna consciousness, her childhood growing up in a South African Catholic school, the ongoing dialogue of faith with her devout Catholic mother, and about how she finally ended up at Krishna.com and Back to Godhead magazine.
