           It is the last few weeks of the summer and as usual Vrindavan, is experiencing hot weather. The temperature is rising above 45 degrees. Despite the extreme weather this did not deter the stream of visitors that come to Krishna Balaram temple. We at Krishna Balaram temple are observing that unlike in the past, summer is as lively as other seasons.
      Groups of students practicing Krishna Consciousness, families of devotees, are visiting  from various parts of the country. (more…)

              Purusottama month, or adhika masa (extra month) is also called mala masa (dirty month) by the performers of karma-kanda because they cannot get any material fruitive results from their worship during this month. Our acaryas say it is called mala masa because devotional activities performed in this month destroy the dirt and contamination caused by sins. It is called adhika (extra) masa because Sri Krishna has placed all His potencies, mercy, blessings in this month, and also because one gets more results from any pious act. Only works of devotion (Krsna-bhakti) give results in Purusottama month.
