Ambadi Paithal
[The Cowherd Baby]
[This mellifluous simple prayer in Malayalam which is recited by the common man all over Kerala is supposed to be written by the great Poonthanam. If this is true, this prayer would be at least three hundred years old and is simple, composed in colloquial language and is surcharged with devotion to the baby Krishna]

Anjana Sridhara Charu moorthe Krishna,
Anjali koopi vanangidunnen,

Hey happy Krishna, who is decorated

Ashta Vimsathi Vishnu Nama Stotram
[The Prayer of Twenty Eight Names of Lord Vishnu)

Arjuna Uvaacha:
Arjuna asked:

Kim nu Naama Sahasraani Japitena Puanaha punaha
Yaanir Naamaani Divyaanee Taani Chaa chakshva Kesava.

Which of these thousand names, should be chanted again and again,
And which of these divine names would make me see Kesava.

Lord Krishna said:

Bala Mukundashtakam
[The octet on the child who gives immortal bliss]
[Among the several forms of devotion in Hinduism, possibly one of the most easy is that of loving him as if he is your baby. This devotional hymn on Lord Krishna follows that approach. Lord Krishna is supposed to sleep on a leaf of a banyan tree and float on the surging waters of final deluge. He is supposed to hold his feet by his hand and put his toe in to his mouth. This hymn in its first stanza brings this image of Lord Kr

Brahma Krutha Rama Sthuthi
[Prayer of Rama composed by Lord Brahma]

Vande devam vishnumasesha sthithi hethum,
Thwam adhyathma jnanibhir anthar hrudhi bhavyam,
Heya heya dwandwa viheenam paramekam,

Prabhupada: Krsna has sent you His grain. You cannot waste it. This is Krsna consciousness. Live that way. And Krsna is providing so much facilities for becoming Krsna conscious, and why should we deviate and spoil this life, take the risk of again going into the cycle of birth and death? Commonsense affair. We have got the good, greatest opportunity to solve this problem of repetition of birth. Tyaktva deham punar janma naiti mam eti [Bg. 4.9]. And only for little sense gratification we are goi

By His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda, 
Founder and Acharya of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness

The transcendental vibration established by the chanting of Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare/ Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare is the sublime method for reviving our transcendental consciousness. As living spiritual souls, we are all originally Krishna Conscious entities, but due to our association with matter since time immemorial

In this world of Maya, which is averse to the Lord, full of trials and tribulations, only patience, humility and respect for others are our friends for Hari bhajana. - Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura

Govinda Swami: I made a terrible mistake yesterday evening after having experienced nectar at Srila Bhaktisiddhanta’s home.

I came back to my room and read the news of the strife, and death, in Kiev, Ukraine.

I understand that without knowledge of the science of the soul and the soul’s eternal relation to God, life in this world is an blazing fire which ends with our bodies being burned to ashes in the flames of death.

No one; no political party, no regime, no dictator, no fair and just lead

HH Bhakti Purusottama Swami: Because we are celebrating Kirtan Mela, so these 4-5 days, we are instructed to speak on the glories of the Holy Name. So in this regard, I have chosen one verse for today, the last verse of Srimad Bhagavatam. 12th Canto, text number 23. The conclusion of Bhagavatam and the conclusion of all Vedic literatures is been described in this verse.
