Printed & Digital Magazine for Devotee Community
In 1987 HH Bhakti Charu Swami accepted the responsibility of a Governing Body Commissioner (GBC) in ISKCON and initiating spiritual master. Soon after he became concerned about staying in touch with his disciples and so in 1993 he began a magazine called Spiritual Connections for his followers and friends. Between 1993 and 2002 Maharaja published 19 issues of the magazine, which contained a variety of articles, such as excerpts from his lectures, writings of Srila Prabhupada and the previous acaryas, Vaisnava songs and the pastimes of Lord Krishna and Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu.
In 2002, Maharaja expressed the desire to change the format of the publication from a printed magazine to a digital magazine. He said that times were changing, digital communication and information was becoming more popular and people were reading printed material less, and so he wanted Spiritual Connections to become an online magazine, accessible and relevant to modern times and audiences.
Following Maharaja’s desire to move with modern times, the publication was digitised in 2021 with the launch of Spiritualconnections.online. The website features all previous issues of the magazine as well as Maharaja’s professional music recordings and selected archive materials.
“I try to make myself available to you when I am near you, and when I am not Spiritual Connections is our link.”
