By His Holiness Bhaktimarga Swami.
I get invited to work with the youth and put together dramas. I fly in usually on Thursday or Friday afternoon. I meet the kids (mostly teenagers) who have been asked to participate in a weekend drama for the Sunday Feast program. Depending on the play and how many actors I need, we meet on Friday night to talk about the script, go over the play, and start rehearsing. We meet for most of Saturday and Sunday morning for practicing. Then, whenever the Sunday prog

The three Ghosh brothers, Vasudev Ghosh, Madhava Ghosh and Govinda Ghosh were all great devotees of Caitanya Mahaprabhu. Govinda Ghosh was living a very simple yet blissful life while worshiping his beloved deity, Gopinath. Govinda Ghosh was very detached from worldly affairs and he was very dear to the Lord. He had a son whom he brought up very nicely teaching him the art of living in Krishna Consciousness.....It was only natural that he loves his son a lot just like any other fathers would do.

The senses are different outlets for the activities of lust. Lust is reserved within the body, but it is given vent through the senses. Therefore, the senses are superior to the body as a whole. These outlets are not in use when there is superior consciousness, or Krsna consciousness. In Krsna consciousness the soul makes direct connection with the Supreme Personality of Godhead; therefore the bodily functions, as described here, ultimately end in the Supreme Soul. Bodily action means the functi

Krishna Consciousness is the process of eternal life. The process is simple and the results are sublime. You follow it and you will be happy in this life as well in the next.
By H.D.G. Srila Prabhupada
This is a letter which an ordinary human writes to Lord Krishna.
When I was resting inside the womb and feeling sleepy,
You wanted to kiss my hand and play with me,I forgot.
I came outside and saw the world,
Someone said " Hey!Look she is lame,unable to walk" ,
You opened your hands and tried to raise me,I retaliated.
When I joined school,playmates often left me alone;
I recollect you wanted to play with me,I refused.
At my college as a young person,
I was unable to express my love ,
and often left alone

Srila Prabhupada Says - [Regarding how morality to a devotee means to please Lord Sri Krsna and to please Him one must at least follow the 4 regulative principles]
Hayagriva: Now the following quotes are taken from a, a much later book, one of the last books he wrote, called The Undiscovered Self. And it's very popular, and in it he discusses religion, in certain ways almost anticipates the Krsna consciousness movement. A

Srila Prabhupada Says - [Regarding how the modern liberalist has no idea of dharma and therefore irreligion, immorality and impiety abound and there is no question of 'human' life only animal life]
"Of course, human life does not actually begin until there is some conception of religion (dharma). But in the present age, Kali-yuga, dharma is practically nil—there is no religion or morality, and there are no pious activitie

Srila Prabhupada Says – [Regarding how one should learn to discriminate between proper and improper conversation]
Another impediment is prajalpa, unnecessary talking. When we mix with a few friends, we immediately begin unnecessary talking, sounding just like croaking toads. If we must talk, we should talk about the Krsna consciousness movement. Those outside of the Krsna consciousness movement are interested in reading h

Please accept my humble obeisance. All glories to Srila Prabhupada
Prabhupada: So this chanting Hare Krsna mantra is purifying your existence. Yasmad suddhyed sattvam. Sattvam means existence. You are existing, I am existing, God is existing eternally. The temporary existence that we see at the present moment, this is not our existence. This is our diseased condition, crazy condition. Pisaci paile yena mati-cchana haya. Pisaci means ghost or witches. When one is haunted by ghost he beco
Kartika is glorified in the Puranas as very special for making spiritual advancement and the best place to be in Kartika is Sri Braja Dham.

With great happiness in our hearts, we invite everyone to join in the auspicious Kartika Festival in Vrindavan. We have organized
