Hare Krsna

Please accept my humble obeisance. All glories to Srila Prabhupada

 

Oh, how glorious are they whose tongues are chanting Your holy name! Even if born in the families of dog-eaters, such persons are worshipable. Persons who chant the holy name of Your Lordship must have executed all kinds of austerities and fire sacrifices and achieved all the good manners of the Aryans. (Srimad-Bhagavatam 3.33.7 Purport)

Please accept my humble obeisance. All glories to Srila Prabhupada

the abode of my beloved

the Abode of my beloved is one which is supreme, 

which is peaceful, lovely, transcendental, 

where there is no pain, no pleasure, no hatred, no vices, no loneliness, no age, no agelessness, no day, no night,

neither is there heat not is there cold,

no friends not foes, 

no nothing, no everything,

it is bliss itself, it has no flowers, it has fragrance, it has no sugar, it has all sweetness,

it has no me, neither is there a you,

the abode of my beloved is where

Thought Of The Day

Krsna is called Yogesvara. He's also the master of all yogic mystic power. Therefore a bhakta, a true devotee of Krsna, he does not endeavor personally to achieve all these yogic mystic power. He depends on Krsna, and if there is necessity of exhibiting some yogic power, Krsna will show. Krsna will exhibit. Yatra yogesvarah harih.

Today morning as I sat again to learn the first and second verse I opened pocketveda on my ipad and as I started reading the verse first and then instead of go
