“Will we be left with our gas-tanks empty, our book-bags empty, our piggy banks empty, our minds empty, our hearts empty, our lives empty, and our mouths empty - having never gained a tangible taste or attachment of the congregational chanting of the Holy Name? Will such a fate ever force us to finally acknowledge (by default) the sublime shelter of hari-nama-sankirtana? All of our computers will have long since crashed. No more e-mail! No more Internet! No more television! No more printing press! No more newspapers! Damn, man. None of our mp3 players and iPods will sing for us anymore! You mean we’ll have to do it ourselves? We may have to close the temples. We may lose our cozy ashrama habitats. We may have to live - and die - under the trees! But despite the extreme miseries of life, we must never desist from our determination to chant the Holy Name of Krishna, though we are hardly able.” Aindra Dasa
Dedicated to Hindu God Shiva, Ramanathaswamy Temple located at Rameshwaram in Tamil Nadu, India is one of the most visited Hindu temples in the world and is noted for its architectural splendor.

“In every town and village, the chanting of My name will be heard.” (Caitanya-bhāgavata, Antya 4.126)
Following in the footsteps of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu, we are trying to broadcast His message throughout the world. By His mercy, people are taking this movement very seriously. Indeed, our books are extensively distributed in the Western countries, especially in America and Europe. Even the ecclesiastical orders in these countries are appreciating the value of the Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement and are ready to unite for the highest benefit of human society. The followers of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu may therefore take this movement seriously and broadcast it throughout the world, from village to village and from town to town, just as Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu Himself did.-Srila PrabhuPada
