21 Jul 2024 The Ultimate Goal of all Ambitions ISKCON Toronto - Ambitions are something everyone has, someone has high ambitions, someone has low ambitions, someone has ordinary ambitions, someone has extraordinary ambitions. Someone wants to be very famous... someone wants to be very rich... someone wants to be very knowledgeable... someone aspires for strength and power.... someone may have a combination of different categories of ambitions. But if we take all ambitions into account, what is the ultimate goal of all ambitions? What is a worthy ambition and what is an unworthy ambition? If we take "ambitions" as a broad category, then what is the ultimate goal of all ambitions?

Every Enthusiastic Ever Surrrendered Jayananda Prabhu – ISKCON Oakville Sunday 9 June 2024 - Jayananda Prabhu, or formally Jayananada Das Brahmachari is a legendary Vaishnava for anyone familiar with the Hare Krishna movement. A disciple of His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, Jayananda Prabhu became dear to everyone he met. I once met an old hippie in Puerto Rico who had met Jayananda, and this old gentleman couldn't stop talking about him, well over 50 years after he'd last met him! Often referred to as "Johnny Ananda" Or "Joy Ananda", even "Jolly Ananda", Jayananda's infectious enthusiasm brought many lost souls to the spiritual path. His deep humility continues to inspire millions around the world even today, over 50 years after his departure. Jayananda Prabhu was not a "big leader" or a "Guru", and didn't hold any official position. But anyone who served with him revers him to this day.
