Dear Mrigapati Prabhu
Please accept my humble obeisances. All glory to Srila Prabhupada. I remember you as one of the mega sankirtan devotees and heros of the recent past, When I joined the movement in April 1977 you were not only the book distribution hero of Holland and Belgium but of the whole ISKCON world wide. You were for months on a row the top of the pops, the number one in the world for book distribution. You distributed for several months more than 1000 big books a week.
In Amsterdam

4th April, 2014, Gurgaon.
I got up a little late today and for some strange reason instead of chanting I first reread the below lecture by HH Bhakti Charu Maharaj which came few days back.
In this lecture Guru Maharaj explained, among many other things, why we have not developed any attraction for the Holy name ( durdaivam īdṛśam ihājani nānurāgaḥ Śikṣāṣṭakam second verse). Guru
अचिंत्य भेदाभेद लीलाधर हे
बड़ो खेल रचाया न्यारा तू
तू एक अनेक दिखे पर
आँख पड़ी जब माया धूल |
धरती तू, और गगन भी
सागर है तू, और बूँद भी तू
धारा बन खुद बह जावे
और बादल बन बरसे भी तू |
भूख भी तू, भोजन भी तू
जग का पालनहार भी तू
खुद भूखा बन भोग लगावे
और तृप्ती की तृप्ती भी तू |
जल भी तू, मदिरा भी तू
पदार्थ भी तू, और स्वाद भी तू
सुख में तू, दुःख में भी तू
आनंद भी तू, संघर्ष भी तू
दुनिया फिर क्यूँ भेद बतावे
जब तू ही तू, सब तू ही तू |
चोर भी तू,ठाकुर भी तू
स्वामी तू, चाकर भी तू
खुद ग्वाला बन गऊ चरावे

available on sell Tanjore painting : tanjor painting is a major form of classical South Indian painting from the town ofThanjavur (anglicized as Tanjore) in Tamil Nadu, India. The art form dates back to about 1600 AD, a period when the Nayakas of Thanjavur encouraged art—chiefly, classical dance and music—as well as literature, both in Telugu and Tamil.

Prabhupada: No, you enjoy, but by enjoying, if you forget your real business, is that intelligent? Your real business is that you have got this human form of body to improve your next life. You are going to have a next life. Suppose you are going to be a dog. Is that success? So you must know the science that instead of becoming dog, how shall you become God. That is intelligence. By H.D.G.Srila Prabhupada
If suppose that someone lights a fire and then immediately pours water on it, we would be surprised by such behaviour. But if a person continues doing the same thing again and again then we would be completely shocked by this nonsensical behaviour.
Practicing devotional life but continuing with sense gratification is also a crazy behaviour. Devotional life is like burning fire and getting engrossed into sensual pleasure is like pouring water on the fire. Many a times we want to carry on with sens

Once a woman in utter distress approached Lord Buddha. Her son had died and she wanted Buddha to bring her son back to life. The compassionate Buddha asked her to go to each and every household of the village and inquire if there is any house in which no one has ever died. If she could find such a house then he promised that he would give her son a new life. The woman frantically ran to the village in search of such a house. She knocked at each door but to her dismay she could not find any such
Prabhupada: Every living entity has soul. The body is just like the dress, just like you are sitting here under different dresses, but that does not mean we are different. That is stated in the Srimad Bhagavad-gita: vasamsi jirnani. Find out this, vasamsi jirnani yatha vihaya [Bg. 2.22].
