Several months ago, a member of the public, Mark Lorange, saw some of Swami Nikhilanand's lectures on youtube. He was impressed by Bhaiya's clear and practical representation of our Hindu dharm, and requested from Bhaiya if he could make a website for his audio lectures. The website is now up and running, and will allow visitors to listen to these sublime lectures via online streaming or through direct download.
Mark Lorange is a very skilled designer who has created many beautiful spiritual websites for Hindu religious organizations. Right now, you can listen to Swami Nikhilanand's Bhagwatam lectures, but more will be added regularly. Upcoming lecture topics include: "8 Important Questions about Hinduism", "Essence of Sanatan Dharm", "Bhukti, Mukti and Bhakti", "Guru Poornima", "Radhashtmi", Vyakhya of the doha "Hari Guru Bhaju Nit Govind Radhey" and Vyakhya of "Mam Thakur Shyama Shyam". You can also listen to beautiful kirtan in the voice of Swami Nikhilanand.

A series of discourses was recently given to the Bhutanese community in Fort Worth, Texas. Here are some glimpses. The organizer of the program commented:
"The holy words from Swamiji was really inspiring. The most facinating part was Swamiji's way of preaching. He didn't simply sit and preach. He was teaching like a teacher does in the class, using a marker and a whiteboard. We got to learn a lot from him"

How many times have we been born as a human before? Day 5 What is the goal of human life? Day 6 Within Hinduism, why are there so many different forms of God and different paths?
