Janmastami FOLK News Online

2015 Janmastami season FOLK news is online now and our print edition should be delivered to your mailboxes next week.

In this issue we’re featuring the major festivals of Janmastami season. Relish the nectar of Krishna’s Appearance from Srila Jiva Goswami. Vraja Kishora Dasa examines why the Maha-mantra is the way it is. While Kadamba Kanana Maharaja recounts Srimati Radharani’s glories, Ravindra-svarupa examines Srila Prabhupada’s role as our Founder-Acharya. We even consider a solution to global warming.
