November 29, 2016 | Kadamba Kanana Swami
In this introspective and spiritually rich lecture delivered in Vrindavan, Kadamba Kanana Swami explores Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 6.18.48–49, where Kasyapa Muni instructs his wife Diti in the principles of Vaiṣṇava conduct.

This lecture is a meditation on the mercy of Śrīla Prabhupāda, the transformative power of bhakti, and the eternal relevance of the Bhagavatam.
