How to choose the initiating spiritual master

(Kadamba Kanana Swami, Australia 2010) One should not be too quick about initiation. In the beginning, one takes instructions from the various exalted and experienced vaisnavas, who then give many relevant inspiring instructions. Initiation is really not the order of the day! In due course of time, one does need to go further and develop [...]

Our saving grace

(Kadamba Kanana Swami, Ljubljana 2011) This process of constantly glorifying the Supreme Lord is the process that can safeguard the weak living entity.
