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.
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.

This week, in addition to our regular Sanga podcast, we want to share with you a special feature:
Harinama Chintamani Dasi reads from pastimes of Lord Nityananda, on the occasion of His auspicious appearance day.
Lord Nityananda is Lord Balarama Himself, the direct expansion of Krishna. He descended on Earth some 500 years ago, along with Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, to spread the Sankirtana movement of love of God through the congregational chanting of His names.
Celebrated by millions of Gaudiya Vaishnavas, the appearance day of Lord Nityananda is an opportunity to remember the immense compassion the Lord has for all living entities. Read about the pastimes of Lord Nityananda at Krishna.com.
