Launch of the Sampradaya Sun
On July 12th, 2005 the Sampradaya Sun began publication as a daily news website and independent reporting organization for the Vaisnava community. The Sampradaya Sun will serve as a full-service news venue, offering in-depth feature stories, fast publication of news and events submitted by the worldwide Vaisnava community, and philosophical editorial commentary from Sun editors and contributing writers.

ISKCON Outed
In his most recent comment on the "Sentimental Reunion" thread, Shiva das has posted two URL's which allow us to peek behind the saffron curtain and observe the commotion surrounding the recently departed HH Bhakti Tirtha Swami. The debate between GBCs, sanyasis and ISKCON leaders is focused, in part, on Bhakti Tirtha Swami's recorded opinions and comments on the touchy subject of homosexuality in Krsna Consciousness. No doubt the readers have seen the many articles posted on Chakra as this topic has been debated. I didn't feel compelled to add my thoughts on the matter, but as it has come to the forefront in the Krsna Blog, I guess the time is right. [more]
Guru, Sadhu, Sastra
We are all familiar with the refrain Guru, Sastra, and Sadhu as being the spiritually scientific methodology utilized in order to authorize every aspect of the Krsna Consciousness process. Much heated discussion has taken place within the Vaisnava community regarding the clarification of the position and pre-requisite qualifications of a "bona fide" diksa/siksa guru. Each person, group and/or institution consults the Sastra as well as the recorded statements of the Guru (Srila Prabhupada) and the writings of the Sadhu (past Acaryas) so as to give weight to their opinions on this subject.

Blog Errata
Haribol. With the Blog rebuild, you'll see that we've now got new comments appearing at the top of the comments list (ascending rather than descending order). Hopefully this will make long blog threads, in particular, easier to read. You'll also note the new XML / RSS icons at the bottom of the Main Index. The Krsna Blog has entered the 21st century, and is now a streaming RSS feed. We're a week or two away from the launch of a major new aspect of the HareKrsna.com site, which will incorporate various streaming aspects.[more]
Krsna Blog Archive
We've now completed a fresh re-install of the Krsna Blog, and have archived older Blog content elsewhere in the site. The following three threads had to be manually re-built into the new Blog database, so all the posting and comment dates are the same. All three posts are still open to new comments. The new Krsna Blog Archive is now housed in the Vada section of the site [link]. The Krsna Blog should now be restored to perfect running order, and we look forward to your continued participation here.
