As fire is kindled from wood by another fire, the divine consciousness of man can similarly be kindled by another divine grace. His Divine Grace the spiritual master can kindle the spiritual fire from the woodlike living entity by imparting proper spiritual messages injected through the receptive ear.

Power of Association

Due to the fact that, we are, by nature social beings, if we don’t find satisfaction in our spiritual relationships, we will certainly look for friendship elsewhere.
 
If we associate with persons with little interest in spiritual life, our own devotional endeavour will dim.
 
When Lord Caitanya was asked to define what a devotee is, He replied, “A devotee is one who avoids the association of nondevotees.”

Battle with Loneliness


We all possess this deep inherent desire ingrained within us to have someone around us, someone to talk to, someone who would reciprocate our affection, someone with whom we can share our emotions, joys and sorrows - how we just wish that someone, just be there for us. Don' t we? Nobody likes to be lonely. Sometimes a person may prefer to be alone for a while, but never permanently. We wish to share ourselves with others. This inclination of ours is one of the qualities we have in common with G

Sadbhuj prabhu in a boat during flood in Maypur

Flood has been on everyone’s mind for awhile now, as we experienced record amount of rain throughout July. But most of us thought it’s too early, previous times it was at the end of September back in 2007 and 2000.

It is a grand Mayapur ‘tradition’ that every 7-8 years Ganga Devi is coming to visit Sri Sri Radha Madhava and Ashta Sakhis, Sri Panca-Tattva and Sri Prahlad Nrsimhadev. So it’s official, Ganga Devi is in the temple room now getting a divine darshan.

She also visited TOVP constructi

Prabhupada is jumping!

By Madhudvisa dasa

Brahmananda said, “Well, how do you do it? How do you jump?”

Madhudvisa: Another incident that comes to mind was in 1968 or ’69. We had a temple on La Cienega Boulevard in Los Angeles. The devotees went to Griffith Park in Los Angeles and chanted and distributed prasadam.

Vishnujana had little puppets, and we would have puppet shows there and bring people from Griffith Park to the temple. We also went to the meditation room in The Mystic Arts book store in Laguna Beach. They
