Thought Of The Day

"Thus the Krsna consciousness movement is so nice that there is no need of even designating oneself brahmana, ksatriya, vaisya, sudra, brahmacari, grhastha, vanaprastha or sannyasi. Let everyone be engaged in whatever occupation he now has. Simply let him worship Lord Krsna by the result of his activities in Krsna consciousness. That will adjust the whole situation and everyone will be happy and peaceful within this world.

Srila Prabhupada Says - [Regarding how one must not imitate being on the topmost or uttama adhikara platform but come to the discriminatory or madhyama platform to preach]

But when we are preaching, we have to come to the second stage. There are three stages of devotional life. The first stage, or the lower stage, the middle stage, and the top stage. So this kind of conception, that "Nobody is my enemy," that is on the to

Despite their proven religious techniques, many Hindus of this era often fail in their spiritualityThis is only due to their inconsistent spiritual approachChristians and Muslimsfollow diligent daily rituals . On the other hand, very few Hindus spend time daily for their prayersThey believe that an occasional visit to the Temple, will recharge their spiritual-battery for a few months at least!

What is Sraddha

Sangat sanjayate kamah (Gita 2.62). 


If one associates with a thief, he develops the habits of a thief and becomes a thief himself. Similarly, if one associates with a sadhu, one becomes a sadhu oneself and is able to distinguish between good and bad. After this, one will try to learn about sad-vastu, the Supreme Lord, and in order to achieve the service of the Supreme Lord, one will surrender unto the pure devotee of the Lord.

One has to go back to home, back to Godhead. That is the perfection of life. This human life should be utilized for going back to home, back to... But they have no idea. They do not know what is God, where is back to home, back to Godhead -- nothing, no education, although the knowledge is there in the Bhagavad-gita and other sastras. Everything is there, but we have become so fools that we take Bhagavad-gita and comment in a different way so that people may not understand. He does not understan
