Why do this site has name 'Desire Tree' if we are trying to get free from desire by joining ISKCON community???
As it is my humble question to the holy feet of all Guruji, do entertain my doubt.
Hare Krishna!!

The material and spiritual worlds parallel each other eternally and we are either in one or the other, by our choice. In the material world, there is only ignorance and misery. In the spiritual world there is only knowledge and bliss. Which is your desire? By our choice, we either serve our misconception of the body as the self and stay in ignorance, or we serve Krishna's senses and get to go to His eternal realm where life is full of knowledge and bliss.
Hare Krishna dear Devotees, please accept my humble obeisances! All glories to Srila Prabhupada!
Thank You Zola Preetam Prabhuji!
In this world soul does only one thing: "DESIRES".
And it is the nature of the soul. Because of that we can not nullify that. Some one thinks that religiosity means to do great austerities by not eating food, not sleeping....
Krishna Consciousness is not a FASTING but FEASTING religion.
If You desire to eat nice gulab jamuns, rasagulas...then we have to cook nicely and offer them to Krishna and honor them ourselves. So it is top most yoga!
If we desire to work earn money then we have to do it in order to please Krishna.
If we want to have a nice wife or a husband then we can have then we have to put Krishna in the center by inviting Deities to our home and making our house a Temple for the Deities.
So in this way Krishna does not want us to be dry, unhappy ...morose beings but He is happier to see us happy.
Your servant,
