23rd March, 2014, Dharamsala, Himachal Pradesh.
One of my most beloved mamaji, maternal uncle, suddenly fell ill and then left his body on 22nd March. He was almost 85 and died peacefully at home, in the presence of his whole family. I pray to Lord Krishna to bless this noble soul.
We rushed on 22nd March early morning to leave for Dharamsala by car, which is approx 500km from Delhi in the northern Himalayan state of Himachal Pradesh.

The freedom is declared by persons who are completely under the clutches of maya. He declares freedom. And he is so much haunted by the ghost maya that he thinks his bondage as freedom. Just like a drug-addicted person or drunkard. He is thinking, "I am free." He lies down on the street sometimes in madness: "Who can forbid me?" You have seen madmen lying on the street... I have seen it, all traffic stopped. So this kind of freedom has no meaning. It is involving oneself with the strict laws of

They laughed at the old captain when they saw him say a prayer before sailing out, because the day was fine and the sea was calm.
However they weren't long at sea when a storm suddenly blew up and the boat began to pitch violently. The terrified passenger

The philosophy of Lord Chaitanya is that Krishna is the only object of worship. And as Krishna is the object of worship, similarly, his place, Vrindavan Dham, is also worshipable. If you go to Vrindavan, even if you don't know anything about Krishna, you will at once feel Krishna consciousness. It is such a nice place. (Lecture, New York, 29 July 1966)
