Utpanna Ekadashi Seva

🌺 Ekadashi Seva 🌺

🌸🌻 Utpanna Ekadashi | 30 November 2021 🌟

The name of Margashirsha Krishna Paksha Ekadashi is Utpanna Ekadashi 🌟. The description of this auspicious day comes in Padma Purana and Bhavishyottara Purana.

On this day a beautiful Goddess Ekadashi ☀️ appeared with weapons from the body of Lord Vishnu and killed a demon named Mura. Pleased with the virtuous goddess Ekadashi, Lord Vishnu gave her the boon of destroying sins. Due to the origin of Ekadashi on this day, it is called Utpanna Ekadashi. 💐

Fast on this and remember that by consuming grains on Ekadashi, all virtues are destroyed and heavy repercussions are inflicted.

Donating on Ekadashi has a lot of importance because on this day one gets thousand times more fruits than other days 🎊 .

So let's follow Ekadashi fast on this auspicious date and donate according to our ability and get full results. 🪄

Your donation will be used by Hare Krsna TV 📺 channel to promote the glories of God and serve the devotees.

A Central Jail’s Transformation into an Ashrama by Aseem Krsna Das

Posted by ISKCON Derire Tree on November 29, 2021 at 4:41pm

Preaching is the essence. Devotees preach by the order of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu and the order of the spiritual master. Those who sincerely try to follow the directions of the spiritual master and the Guru-paramparā earn unlimited blessings and strength to execute their service. Even a sincere attempt in the service of the ācāryas, irrespective of it being a success or a failure, is sufficient to draw profuse blessings of the Guru-paramparā.

There are some…

Back to Vrndavana: Srila Prabhupada's Final Lila is Now Available

Posted by ISKCON Derire Tree on November 29, 2021 at 4:05pm

In October a very special event happened at the TOVP, the arrival of Srila Prabhupada, the installation of the Srila Prabhupada Murti. On the same date, Hari Sauri Das made the official announcement of the arrival of his latest book - Back to Vrndavana: Srila Prabhupada's Final Lila – and it is now available for purchase.

“Srila Prabhupada spent his last 6 weeks on this planet in Vrndavana Dhama, and I was fortunate enough to spend the month of October serving him while…

New Study and Teach Program Makes Getting Your Sastric Degree Easier

Posted by ISKCON Derire Tree on November 29, 2021 at 4:02pm

By Madhava Smullen

Up till now, one of the main methods of getting your Bhakti Sastri Degree in ISKCON involved taking six months off from your job or service to study in person in Mayapur or Vrindavan. This made it elusive and difficult for many to get the “family transcendental diploma” based on Srila Prabhupada’s books which Prabhupada wanted all his “spiritual sons and daughters” to inherit.

This system also required anyone who taught the Bhakti…

Marvelous Moments by Bhaktimarga Swami

Posted by ISKCON Derire Tree on November 29, 2021 at 3:53pm

Two young students from the Toronto Film School lined me up for a documentary assignment interview. The questions included, “What is Hare Krishna?”, “Do you believe in an after-life?”, etc. The filming went well.

Many marvelous moments filled my day. Then I came up with a poem inspired by phrases spoken by Prabhupada. In bold, Ill relay those messages. In lower case is my contribution.

The Life of a Text: Bhagavad-gita Through the Centuries By Satyaraja Dasa

Posted by ISKCON Derire Tree on November 29, 2021 at 3:30pm

From Back to Godhead

Lord Krishna’s words made their way to us after a long historical journey.

This year marks the fiftieth anniversary of Srila Prabhupada’s Bhagavad-gita As It Is. Although many articles have been written about the Gita as a philosophical poem, exploring its meaning and theological implications, and although both devotees and nondevotees have written elaborate studies of Srila Prabhupada’s translation, few articles deal with the text as a…

The Bitter-Sweet Taste of Living Bhagavad-Gita

Posted by ISKCON Derire Tree on November 29, 2021 at 2:00pm

By Srimati Dasi

Let’s face it. It’s not easy trying to live Bhagavad-gétä in today’s world — it’s tough! And the taste is more often bitter/sweet than sweet/sweet. Govindadeva gives the practical essence of living Bhagavad-gétä in verse 18.66. The Kali-yugian heart has no trouble with the first half of the equation — abandon all varieties of religion. That’s very much in tune with today’s life standards. But the second half…

What is meant by "jivas are fragmental particles of Krishna"?

Jai Sri Krishna,I hope the members of IDT are not holding any grudges against me for me being an admirer of some other path. If i like one particular path, its not going to be that i will hate the rest. I'm a student of different sects and philosophies. To me, all paths leads us to divinity. But that's just my belief. You don't have to accept what i say.Now, that being said, i have a question, since i'm learning about achintya bheda abheda philosophy as well. :)What do the gaudya vishnavas mean…

How and Why?

Hare Krishna to one and all.PAMHOAGTSP I had a question that, if in Satyayuga, there was 100% dharma and people were all spiritual and Krishna conscious then why everybody didn't get liberated?. Because even we people of Kaliyuga would have been there in Satyayuga, then how is it that we didn't go back home, back to Godhead?. Looking forward to your enlightening response. Your Servant,Avinash G.Jai Shree Krishna.

List of Books to Read Advice?

Who is responsible for all that's happening around us?

Even though this matter has been discussed earlier, i think this topic deserves a page/thread of its own.After discussing this with IDT members, i came to know that the real karta is Krishna or His shakti maya/prakriti, but due to Krishna's illusory power, we the jivatmas instead think that we are the doers. Now, if its Krishna or His shakti maya/prakriti who's doing everything and if the soul itself isn't doing anything but simply powering the machine called body then isn't it Krishna or his…
