Hare Krsna,

Please accept my humble obeisance. All glories to Srila Prabhupada & Srila Gopal Krishna Maharaj.

Thought Of The Day

Prabhupada: That is yajna. To work for Krsna means yajna. Yajnarthe karma: "For yajna, performing yajna, one has to work." To work for Krsna means yajna. That is performance of yajna.
