Killing of Demon Dhenukasura in Talavana

Source: http://krishnaseva.blogspot.in/2014/09/killing-of-demon-dhenukasura-in-talavana.html

When Krishna and Balarama entered sixth year of their ages, they got the permission to take the cattles out for grazing. Along with their fellow cowherds the two brothers too began to take their cattle to Vrindavana. Thus they sanctified the earth of Vrindavana with their pious feet. Seeing the beauty of Vrindavana, with beautiful, colourful flowers and sweet fruits, Lord Krishna felt overjoyed. He then u

Become a Servant

Hare Krsna

Please accept my humble obeisance. All glories to Srila Prabhupada

 

Become a Servant

We have to learn to look at the good qualities in others. We should try to encourage each other. We have to really understand that we are dasas and not prabhus, that we are dasas of each other.

We have to endeavor to b

What Makes Good People Do Bad Things?

Gitta339_slideshow.jpg

Bhagavad-gita 3.39.

“What makes good people do bad things?” This is a question that has vexed thinking people throughout history. We all have probably witnessed acquaintances suddenly behaving in uncharacteristically ugly ways.
