Because human life is a combination of matter and spirit soul the whole process of vedic knowledge is directed at liberating the spirit soul from the contamination of matter.

Srimad Bhagavatam 2.1.3,

Srila Prabhupada

Our human life is a mixture of spirit soul and matter. It is a holistic process of gaining vedic knowledge. It frees our spirit soul from the polluted matter. It helps us to be liberated. If we learn something with a free mind, we will be able to grasp it. We will be able to understand the true value of the subject matter. Our life will become divine with the gain of vedic knowledge. ISKCON propagates vedic knowledge. We can support the Krishna consciousness movement by promoting the books of Srila Prabhupada. Our life will certainly change if we chant the name of Hare Krishna incessantly. It helps us to remove the impurities. We can understand the connect between the spirit soul and matter. The lifestyle improves with the regular chanting of the holy mantra. Life will change totally. We will be able to understand our divine state. We will be happy to find a pure soul when we chant Hare Krishna maha mantra 16 rounds per day.

The life improves when we follow the vedic system and our mind becomes pure and stress free. We can understand the connection between us and Sri Krishna when we pay respect to Sri Krishna and sing with an open mind and bow down before sri Krishna. Our life becomes enriched. We will be able to build an empire if we are a true devotee of Sri Krisna. People will discover our devotion with the ritual practices and they will love to follow this system and respect it. We will be able to write, sing and speak of Sri Krishna and improve our Krishna Consciousness. 

Any devotee who has developed genuine love for Krishna can also explain the truth about Krishna, because Krishna helps such sincere devotee seated in his heart.

Delhi, September 20, 1967.

Srila Prabhupada

Those who love Krishna from the bottom of heart, they can only understand the divine truth. They can explain that sincere love for Sri Krisna can enlighten and enhance the blessing. It can improve the holy communion with God. Any devotee can try to build this faith on God. This can be built through regular chanting of Hare Krishna and with this chant, one can gain new energy and any work done with the name of God, of course, noble deeds, helps one gain the path of peace and happiness. A life dedicated to the devotional service of Sri Krishna helps us gain the ultimate divine peace and assists us in getting rid of the anxieties and troubles in our life.

The heart becomes pure with the incessant chanting of Hare Krishna Maha Mantra. We can sing the glory of God and we can share the sacred literature of Bhagawad Gita as it is. Life will never be the same when we get that divine light directly from God. It is good to think about God and take his name in free time. The anxieties and troubles that storm our mind will be blown away. We will reach a blissful state.

Our mind is confused with the influence of media, i.e. radio, television, newspaper etc. So we cannot focus on one thing. The chanting of Hare Krishna maha mantra helps us to focus and purify the mind. We can see the presence of God in this world and we can discover our divine self and improve the mental state through positive thinking. This positive mantra chanting can empower us to win the survival of the fittest. Life will never be the same for the Sri Krishna lovers. 

Real independence means complete faith in the mercy of the Lord without dependence on the condition of matter.

Srimad bhagavatam, srila prabhupada

Srila Prabhupada highlighted the importance of actual independence in our life. We need to have faith on our Sri Krishna. We have to practice our spiritual duties sincerely. We must give priority to the spread of iskcon either through writing, lecture, video presentation etc. We need to be aware of the divine teachings by regularly reading the iskcon literature. Sharing is caring. We can always care for the spiritual upliftment of other people. More we care for our relatives and friends, we will get the same in return as we have to trust the words of the holy Bhagwad Gita and work accordingly. We have to make our life divine following the holy principles of Bhagwad Gita. Our life will be peaceful and happy if we chant our Hare Krishna Maha Mantra daily .

Hare Krishna Hare Krishna krishna Krishna hare hare,

Hare rama hare rama rama rama hare hare

We can stay always happy by following the words of our spiritual master Srila Prabhupada. By reding those books and video lectures at Youtube.com, we come to know many things about Bhagwad Gita. It is good to get the purest form of the Bhagwad Gita from Srila Prabhupada. 

Krishna can change anything, therefore we worship Him as the greatest Scientist. If a man knows swimming, he can stay up. So if a man has this much power, what to speak of God. So we see that Ramachandra has the art how to make stones float. It is a question of knowing the art. Art means the display of intellectual energy. Everywhere we can see intelligence in everything. So the lord knows the art of everything, so He can change anything, we cannot.

Letter to Rupanuga, May 03, 1972.

Srila Prabhupada has said about the power of Sri Krishna. Yes, Sri Krishna is quite powerful. He can change your fate if you pray in front of him with full devotion. It is your devotion that will promote you to a new spiritual conscious state. It will help you get the peace that you are searching here in this material world. The material world is not peaceful as everybody is chasing money, power and property. We need to be a good follower of Sri Krishna and this will help us become the perfect person to be a follower of Sri Krishna. Our life is full of obstacles but we can overcome these obstacles if we become a faithful follower of Sri Krishna. We can gain the spiritual intelligence through the study of  the Bhagwad Gita. We must attend the classes also. The lectures from an enlightened spiritual master opens our consciousness. We understand what should we do in practical life to attain Krishna consciousness. In our life, we are changed by materialistic ideas and these ideas for money, property and power pulls us down. If we run after them, then we will never reach the goal of liberation. Our consciousness will be with those materialistic things only. We will lead a life, which far lower than the spiritual life. There are people in this world who go on chasing wealth in spite of having them. So we must stop chasing and lead a happy life at a certain point of time. 

A pure devotee has no demand from the lord. His only concern is to serve the lord sincerely and seriously and he is not at all concerned about what will happen in the future.

Srimad Bhagavatam, 4.9.29

Krishna consciousness teaches the devotee to pray Sri Krishna from the bottom of the heart. The heart becomes pure after chanting Hare Krishna Mahamantra for some time. A scientific study of the brain done by the researchers have revealed that it helps us be steady and cool in this fast changing world. We have to be sincere in the world of devotion to get the blessing from Sri Krishna. As a devotee, you should not be worried about the future. People are spending so much  money by consultation of astrologers. They advice them that a particular ring or a procedure can improve their financial status. But actually the work done with the pure mind can improve the lifestyle. It will help us lead a happy life and help others lead a peaceful life. 

So many people are suffering for want of a good leader throughout the whole world. (MORNING TALK,APRIL 25, 1977, BOMBAY).

A leader is important for every country. Without the leader, the life of a common man will not improve. We need to work on our leadership skills. We can definitely learn from youtube. We can get a large number of Spiritual leaders of Iskcon and get the guidance of Srila Prabhupada from youtube.com. We will come to know how to spread the Krishna consciousness among the millions of people across the world. Our life will never be the same when we start preaching. Through preaching of Bhagwad Gita, we understand the art of self realization and we help those who seek peace and happiness beyond the materialistic world. You can get many things easily – it can be car, house, and in the same way, we can follow the principles of Krisna consciousness by following the right path of devotion. 

Being a follower of Srila Prabhupada, I feel happy to discover this remarkable saying of the founder of ISKCON - 

Think of Krishna always and try to work sincerely, everything will come automatically who said this in a letter to Aniruddha, July 7, 1968. 

The devotee must carry on thinking of Sri Krishna. He must follow all the principles mentioned by his/her guru. His respect to Sri Krishna and the incessant chanting of the Hare Krishna Maha Mantra will work like miracles in his life helping him to deal with the stressful life. The concentration power increases and the academic grades improve in school and college. 

There is lack of sincerity in the work and academics and this causes poor performance on both. By following the path shown by Srila Prabhupada, we can get the ultimate peace and happiness. It is good to keep our mind free from all kinds of impurities of materialistic desires. Those desires lead us to the wrong path. We must always think of Sri Krishna and work sincerely. Everything will definitely come with the blessing of Sri Krishna. We will get the divine peace with the blessing of the supreme lord of the universe whose power has been mentioned in the holy book - Bhagavad Gita again and again and they have been discussed in the literatures of Srila Prabhupada. 

In the spiritual world also there is competition for the best satisfaction of Krishna - letter to Janardana, january 22, 1967.

Srila Prabhupada

Srila Prabhupada, the founder of International Society for Krishna Consciousness said this and he claimed that there is competition everywhere. Competition must be taken positively and we need to learn from failures as failures are the pillars of success. The world of spirituality is different from the materialistic world. We provide service to sri krishna unconditionally. We offer our respect and love to Sri Krishna and help other Sri Krishna followers gain devotion. We learn significantly from the Gurus of Iskcon. The guru teach us the right path of Spirituality and how we can grow quickly on the path of spirituality shown by Srila Prabhupada. 

We can satisfy our favorite Krishna through regular prayer and following the ekadasi and other principles as instructed by our gurus. We need to be humble and show respect to the organization. We have to attention the religious seminars and learn from our enlightened masters. Our spiritual growth depends on our initiative. This initiative comes through regular chanting of the hare krishna maha mantra- in the morning, afternoon and night whenever you are free. This mantra shows you the right path of life. It reveals the positive side of life. 

Srila Prabhupada, said- always remember our first business preaching and distributing literatures, never mind we have to live under a tree.- letter to narottamananda , october 23, 1972.

Srila Prabhupada had emphasized the importance of preaching of the holy Bhagavad Gita. The literature of Bhagavad Gita help us gain the diving knowledge of ancient vedic literature. We come to know about the instruction of Lord krishna and the conversation between Sri Krishna and Arjuna. With the help of the divine knowledge, we can organize our lifestyle. We get a new value in our life. We become the faithful follower of Sri Krishna when we follow the teachings of Sri Prabhupada and read the literatures with devotion. 

The incessant chanting of Hare Krishna maha mantra- HARE KRISHNA

HARE KRISHNA 

KRISHNA KRISHNA 

HARE HARE

HARE RAMA

HARE RAMA 

RAMA RAMA

HARE HARE

helps us stay connected with sri krishna just as we are connected with our friends and relatives with a mobile phone. The divine connection helps in the upliftment of soul and it help in alleviating the consciousness. 

We understand that the Vaishnava follower has to be humble and Srila Prabhupada meant that this humble nature brings the blessing of Sri Krishna. The devotee becomes connected through the service for the lord, Srila Prabhupada reminded that a devotee should take the name of Lord, read the bhagavad gita, eat the prasad and sing the name of lord. The devotee can write about sri krishna and this will help you lead a positive path and get the divine blessing of Sri Krishna. 

Thank you Sri Krishna and ISKCON DESIRE TREE for giving me the strength to express myself here. 

Srila Prabhupada said- God's another name is ajita. A means not and jita means conquered. Nobody can conquer God. He conquers everyone. But devotee can conquer  Although God is Ajita, he becomes jita, conquered by his devotee. (new york , march 5, 1975) 

The above quotation of Srila Prabhupada is quite significant. The purpose of this speech is to give priority to praying Sri Krishna. The devotee must understand the importance of chanting Sri Krishna name. The devotee has to offer prayer to Lord Krishna to get his blessing and for happiness in his life. It is the mental peace that helps us stay on a particular profession for long time. We need the mental stability. We have to respect and love others. We have to build faith on Sri krishna. We need to know the teachings of Bhagawad Gita and listen it from a Guru. 

These teaching of Srila Prabhupada will motivate us to pray and seek the blessing of Guru through regular practice of hare krishna maha mantra and never forget to read the bhagwad gita for a single day. We need to develop the mind power because it helps in building sound health. The sound health comes from a strong mind. A mind free from all tension and anxieties is totally healthy. The healthy mind can pray the lord krishna and help other sri krishna followers understand the importance of reading bhagwad gita. The materialistic world has lost touch with spirituality and they are trying to seek happiness and peace with mobile phones, which is driving more trouble and making us every more unhappy than before. We need to read the literature of Srila Prabhupada to know the true divinity and the powers of Lord Krishna. Only by incessant chanting of Lord Krishna name, we can be happy and lead a peaceful life. 

This quotation by Srila Prabhupada was made in Los Angeles, 5th January, 1974. It is really great to know the value of Krishna Consciousness. Without Krishna chanting, we cannot get the blessing of Lord Krishna. Unless we get Krishna blessings, we will never be happy. There are materialistic thoughts that pull our mind down. You will find many people who will try to take them to their way where there is joy but the spiritual happiness is lacking. You will get pleasure but for a short span of time.  

If you are looking for the divine happiness, you must join an ISKCON devotee network and stay tuned with them. You have to read the literature of Sri Prabhupada where you will learn how to pray the Lord. You will come to know about the sacred teachings of bhagwad gita. You will be happy to discover the vast amount of literature written by the highly learned and enlightened person on earth, Srila Prabhupada. 

Since my childhood, i am following Iskcon literature. When I went there for the first time at iskcon mayapur with my parents, I was spellbound to see the beauty of Lord Krishna. I bowed down and laid on the floor to pay my respect and prayed with full devotion. I started chanting Hare Krishna Maha mantra. I realized the happiness and then I got initiated at Tala Park Hari Sabha in Kolkata by Sri Jeevan Das. He gave me initiation and being a great devotee, he advised his followers at Tala Park to follow BHAGAWAD GITA AS IT IS written by Srila Prabhupada. I got inspired and started reading this book. Gradually my life changed and i feel I am a different person altogether. I went to ISKCON MAYAPUR 5 times. I went to Panihati ISKCON temple many times. I am really happy to offer service to Sri Krishna. I love chanting Hare Krishna maha mantra and felt motivated when I see little children with tilak and singing the name of Lord Krishna. 

Srila Prabhupada said the above quotation and this is indeed the basic idea that drives a Sri Krishna follower without which his life becomes meaningless. We need to take the name of Sri Krishna and chanting can be done in the early morning, before going to bed and while on the way towards office.

As I go to my office in a bus, i chant the name of Sri Krishna - Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna hare hare , hare rama hare rama rama rama hare hare! This helps me keep myself fresh and stay connected with Lord Krishna who is the creator of this world. 

I love to read the literature of Sri Prabhupada as it gives me lot of energy. I believe that this name inspires you to lead a positive life. It helps you see the positive side of life and stay away from negative energy. As if Lord Krishna becomes the guide and protector for the devotee taking the name. It is very important to attend the meeting of Iskcon as it inspires you with the inspirational teachings of a True Guru. Today I was very happy to hear from Swami Raghunandan of Panihati I felt very happy and thanked him personally for his motivational speech. A guru shows you the right path for a happy and peaceful life. He shows you the right path of krishna consciousness.
