o Krishna 

empower me,

empower me as i m 

going through the darkest ocean

the ocean of MAYA

although i have got 

my torch ready

but i need the light 

of your love 

to enlighten my soul

to wash the dirt away

from my heart........

o Krishna 

show me the path

as i am alone

completely alone.

i need your mercy 

to move the slightest step

O krishna 

look at me

only your love filled glance

can give me life 

i am nearly dead

come in my dream

come 

to show me the path

o Krishna

empower me

Why does Krishna has 3 main potencies ?

Hare Krishna.DCF 1.017th decemberI always used to wonder why do we mostly describe Krishna having three potencies.

"One thing, you say that literature distribution is low; actually, the test of the strength of our preaching work is that we sell many books and magazines. So what is the difficulty? Simply preach very sincerely to anyone and everyone, and go on in this way preaching more and more, and the demand for our books will increase."
(Srila Prabhupada letter to Sri Galim, December 17, 1971)

Thought Of The Day

Prabhupada: Yes. Your, this punishment condition is also God's creation, external energy. You cannot live for a second without God. But one who knows, he is blessed, and who does not know, he is condemned. But you know or not know, you are always with God. That is your position.

Srila Prabhupada Says - [Regarding how the demon Kali's control of gold is where his power lies and how the artificial 'cash' currency is the controlling mechanism, however, the return to gold as currency is the means to diminish his controlling influence]

“Although Maharaja Pariksit gave Kali permission to live in four places, it was very difficult for him to find the places because during the reign of Maharaja Pariksit t

When a doctor writes a prescription, those words are meant to change the patient by curing the disease. But if the patient changes the words of the prescription as per one’s own convenience, then they lose the power to heal.
The Bhagavad-gita’s words are like a doctor’s prescription. They can cure the disease afflicting our heart – the disease of misdirected desires, wherein we love temporary worldly things instead of the

One must be fortunate enough to associate with a person who is in pure consciousness. A Kṛṣṇa conscious person has realized knowledge, by the grace of Kṛṣṇa, because he is satisfied with pure devotional service. Byrealized knowledge, one becomes perfect. By transcendental knowledge one can re

"Those who are preachers are superior to those who go to the Himalayas to meditate. It is good to go to the Himalayas to meditate for one's personal benefit, but those who undergo many difficulties in order to preach are superior. They are actually fighting for Krsna's sake, and they are certainly more compassionate. Those sadhus who leave Vrndavana to go fight in the world, to spread Krsna consciousness, are superior sad
