Prabhupada: The thing is that we want to love people, we want to help them, but if we do not know the process... The same thing, love or hate. That's it. You should know the process how to love. So our process is according to Vedic injunction, that yatha taror mula-nisecanena trpyanti tat-skandha-bhujopasakhah [SB 4.31.14]. Just like if you pour water on the root of the tree, automatically the branches, the trees, everything, watered. Pranopaharac ca yatendriyanam. If you supply food to the stom

Srila Prabhupada Says - [Regarding how in ISKCON we must accept Srila Prabhupada's authority and not think we have a better idea understanding or interpretation]
"Disciple means who voluntarily accepts the spiritual master to be..., regulate. Disciple means one who is regulated by higher authority. He is disciple. The higher authority is called the spiritual master, and the person who voluntarily submits to him for being regulated, he is called disciple. Everyone is very much puffed up. This
HH Sivarama Swami: In the little time that we have, I would just like to concentrate on a certain purpose of the Temple of the Vedic Planetarium [TOVP] as I have understood it from Srila Prabhupada, from our senior God brothers.
In one morning walk, Srila Prabhupada said that our worship of Radha-Krishna is our own private business, but actually, in terms of preaching, our business is to dismantle the materialistic philosophy, such as evolution, which the material scientists have actually be
HH Bhakti Charu Swami: Sivarama Maharaja, thank you for explaining the purpose of this Temple of the Vedic Planetarium so wonderfully. It's a brilliant summarization of the purpose of this temple.
I recall one incidence when some individual was challenging Srila Prabhupada, 'Why are you building these temples?' This was soon after Vrindavana temple was opened, Krishna Balarama temple was opened. It was actually in 1977 in Hrisikesh Kumbha Mela.
This person was questioning Srila Prabhupada,
HH Radhanath Swami: I am grateful for this opportunity, this most auspicious, important, glorious event.
HH Sivarama Maharaja was sharing with us Srila Prabhupada's vision for establishing the glories of Srimad-Bhagavatam including the structurei. The purpose of Bhagavatam is very much the purpose of this temple, to establish scientifically the structure of the universe, especially in relation to the purpose of the universe, the evolution of consciousness.

Tulasi - Shaligram Vivaha This is the celebration of the marriage ceremony of Srimati Tulsi Devi and Lord Sri Krishna.
Shri Vasishthaji said that what I have heard in ancient times from Lord Brahma about the marriage of Tulasi I will now describe according to what is written in the Narada-pancaratra. First one should plant Tulasi either in the house or the forest, and after three years one may perform her marriage. The auspicious times when one may perform the marriage of Shalagrama and Tulasi a
Is a guru indispensable in the field of spirituality? It may be that a guru is not easily found, but I can assure you that he is no less indispensable--whatever the impediments may be. What can you learn if there is no one to teach you? What can you receive unless there is someone to give? There is a saying in India that even if you want to learn to make a pot from a lump of clay, you have to go and apprentice yourself to someone who knows the skills. If you want to prepare a simple dish, you ha
There are a fortunate few into whose lives God has brought an awareness of a goal higher than merely being born, making a living and being called successful. Often we say, "He has succeeded in life; he has distinguished himself in his career, earned a lot of money, and attained a high social position." Yet, is being a successful person merely accumulating some things, being called a success, and then leading a comfortable life? In terms of ultimate values it would be a very small life. In an imp
Is there a man whose heart will shed tears of blood at the misery of even the meanest of God’s creation? It is in his heart--be sure--that the Lord dwells.
O Man! Years have come and gone! You are yet the same old brute, the same abode of the same old cruel heart which grabs and does not give. Renounce, serve, love! Become good this very minute!
What have you learnt from the terrible tragedy which shook the country from end to end? Would you still lean back in your cushioned lounge and ignore
