Words of a Public Hermit, Kadamba Kanana Swami

Compiled by the disciples of Kadamba Kanana Swami

Topics of Krishna are all-auspicious. It is said that the speaker is purified, the enquirer is purified and the audience is purified. I have spoken these words about Krishna on different occasions – first of all for my purification and then to contribute something to the world. Although I am not a great man, I have great teachers, so hopefully there is something good in my words. These are excerpts of lectures in a raw and meditative form. I guess it’s the way I live; I tend to get too busy in too many things. As far as this book is concerned, the wonder is not in the literary composition but what is wonderful is Krishna. The world is burning in a blazing forest fire of lust and envy and the likes, samsara-davanala-lidha-loka. Therefore, it is the transcendental glorification of Krsna that can change the situation.
