When confronted with adversities we look towards God and hope that he will change the situation as per our own liking. We expect God to do a magic in our life. But we see that in case of Arjuna the external situations and circumstances always remained the same. When Arjuna was utterly confused, he beseeched Krishna to show him the right path. “Now I am confused about my duty and have lost all composure because of miserly weakness. In this condition I am asking You to tell me for certain what is

Navadwip dham is actually a compartment in Vrindavan...It is actually the Nava Vrindavan (New Vrindavan). It is created by Vrajeshwari Radharani to attract the attention of Sri Krishna.That is why in Navadwip, Krishna is in the mood of Radharani...topmost devotion and unlimited compassion. Navadwip dham is actually Vrindavan dham + unlimited mercy of Radharani.Such a merciful dham with so much of love and compassion can never be found anywhere.However,we, as pilgrims, what should be our mentali

The Lord helps the falling living entity glide down to the lowest point, just to give him the chance to see if he is happy by misusing his independence.
Almost all the conditioned souls who are rotting in the material world are misusing their independence, and therefore five kinds of nescience are imposed upon them.

All material resources are offered to the living entity for his peaceful li

Garden Conversation -- Los Angeles, June 10, 1976 - Just like we are reading this Bhagavatam; it is proper utilization of time. Similarly, if we take some newspaper, some statement of the politics, and talk and argue and waste time, there is no need of such thing. I think in our institution there is no newspaper. That is one advantage. In the Western countries, newspaper is very popular thing, a huge bundle of newspaper.

Dhānyena dhanavān gavayā dhanavān: one is rich if he possesses food grain, cows and bulls. A girl also desires to have many chi

Arjuna heard the message of Gita from Krishna directly and Dhritarashtra heard from Sanjay, his assistant. After hearing the wisdom words Arjuna’s life completely got transformed, his all doubts got dispelled and he became ready to face the battle of life. But in spite of hearing the astute words of Krishna, Dhritarashtra remained spiritually blind. His desire to enjoy the kingdom overpow
