यहाँ रूठी हुई राधा रानी को श्याम सुन्दर ने मनाया था. श्यामसुन्दर ने राधा रानी जी को मनाने के बहुत से उपाए किये. कभी उनके चरणों में मस्तक रखते हैं, कभी उनको पंखा करते हैं , कभी दर्पण दिखाते हैं और कभी विनती करते हैं .पर जब राधा रानी नहीं मानती हैं तब श्याम सुन्दर सखियों का सहारा लेते हैं. इन्हीं लीलायों के कारण इस स्थली का नाम "मानगढ़" पड़ा. मान माने रूठना.ये मान किसी लड़ाई या क्रोध से नहीं होता है जैसे की संसार में होता

एक बार भगवान के मन में आया कि आज गोपियों को अपना ऐश्वर्य दिखाना चाहिये ये सोचकर जब भगवान निकुंज में बैठे थे.और गोपियाँ उनसे मिलने आ रही थी तब भगवान कृष्ण विष्णु के रूप चार भुजाएँ प्रकट करके बैठ गए,जिनके चारो हांथो में शंख, चक्र, गदा, पद्म, था.

गोपियाँ भगवान को ढूँढती हुई एक निकुंज से दूसरे निकुंज में जा रही थी तभी उस निकुंज में आयी जहाँ भगवान बैठे हुए थे,दूर से गोपियों ने भगवान को देखा और बोली हम कब से ढूँढ रही है और

A group of frogs were traveling through the woods, and two of them fell into a deep pit. When the other frogs saw how deep the pit was, they told the two frogs that they were as good as dead. The two frogs ignored the comments and tried to jump up out of the pit with all their might. The other frogs kept telling them to stop, that they were as good as dead. Finally, one of the frogs took heed to what the other frogs wer

Haridasa Thakura was born in a Mohammedan family. From the very beginning of his life he was never trained in the karma-kanda system, but because he was always chanting the holy name of the Lord, Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu accepted him as namacarya, the authority in chanting the holy name. (Srimad-Bhagavatam, 5.9.4 Purport)
 
Srila Madhavendra Puri said, "O regulative principles of karma-kanda, please excuse me. I cannot fol

Be Reminded About The Goal Of Life "

If you associate with the devotees of the temple every week, if your come here every week, if you chant the holy name on the regular basis, your intelligence will be sharp and you will be able to understand and be reminded about the goal of life. And if on the other hand we miss this opportunity then you never know when you will get this opportunity.

In the desert mirage there is no actual water,there is only appearance of water. real water is somewhere else..

Sweet Like Sugar Candy

krsna%2Bwith%2Bcow%2Band%2Bflute.jpg
The holy name, character, pastimes and activities of Krsna are all transcendentally sweet like sugar candy. Although the tongue of one afflicted by the jaundice of avidya (ignorance) cannot taste anything sweet, it is wonderful that simply by carefully chanting these sweet names every day, a natural relish awakens within his tongue, and his disease is gradually destroyed at the root.

the flute beeing kissed by Krishnas lips

"My dear gopis, what auspicious activities must the flute have performed to enjoy the nectar of Krishna's lips independently and leave only a taste for the gopis for whom that nectar is actually meant. [CC. Antya. 16.140]

"'Although the nectar of Krishn's lips is the absolute property of the gopis, the flute, which is just an insignificant stick, is forcibly drinking that nectar and loudly inviting the gopis to come drink it also. Just imagine the strength of the flute's austerities and good fort

In one small city in Spain I walked over to a man sitting in the driver’s seat of a parked car and handed him a copy of The Science of Self-Realization. As he looked at the beautiful photograph of Srila Prabhupada on the cover, I spoke to him about the book and about the chanting of Hare Krsna.
On the seat beside him I noticed a large knife, some whisky bottles, and what appeared to be a package of illegal drugs. The man accepted the book gave a donation and I left. A half an hour later he retur

Preserve your spiritual status

Preserve your spiritual status - avoid stress

                  In the name of service, we often overburden ourselves with impossible schedules, high expectations from ourselves and others and big projects and goals. Sometimes we end up stressed out and frustrated .  We have lost the Higher connection. At that time, our happy Krishna conscious mood leaves us, our spiritual practice might become compromised, and instead of gratitude, we feel burned out, bitter or anxious.
Of course, there is some
