Hare Krsna

Please accept my humble obeisance. All glories to Srila Prabhupada

Krishna-bhaktas are pure followers of Vedic faith. They honestly live a life in accordance with Bhagavad Gita ( vedic injunctions) Because of this uncompromising spiritual approach, at times even the family members could be upset , but the Bhakta does not worry about it .

Such a true Krishna-bhakta is an immensely powerful divine blessing not only to his family but all those associating with him/her. Bhagavan Sri Krishn

Hare Krsna

Please accept my humble obeisance. All glories to Srila Prabhupada

My dear Lord Narasimhadeva, I see that there are so many saintly persons indeed, but they are interested only in theirown deliverance. Not caring for the big cities and towns, they go to the Himalayas or the forest to meditate with vows of silence (Mauna Vrata).  They are not interested in deliveringothers.  As for me, however, I do not wish to be liberatedalone, leaving aside all these poor fools and rascals.  I know th

Respect to all

Hare Krsna

Please accept my humble obeisance. All glories to Srila Prabhupada

You should be respectful to all Vaisnavas and all spiritual masters. A disciple no doubt has a special relationship with
his spiritual master, but at the same time is respectful to all senior Vaisnavas. It should not be that one gives respect to
his guru and disrespects other spiritually advanced entities.


Divine Instructions


The holy name is the most valuable asset that you can possess!

Hairy Krishnas


On my current visit to Sri Vrindavan Dhama in April 2013 I am noticing many male initiated ISKCON devotees keeping beards. Is this in accordance with Srila Prabhupada’s instructions? By carefully reviewing his instructions in his books, letters, lectures, and conversations in this regard we can understand what is his desire and thus how to please him.


Srila Prabhupada has written in a letter to Brahmananda Prabhu dated 11 October 1967 from Calcutta: Kirtanananda is the first man in our societ

Thought Of The Day

So as we have seen that Lord Caitanya, when He instructs, He gives at once evidence from authoritative scripture, that is the way of presenting. Always you should remember that we cannot imagine about God: "I think God is like this." This is nonsense. You have no thinking power. You are under the grip of material nature. He is pulling. The material nature is pulling you by the ear, just like this. Prakrteh kriyamanani gunaih karmani sarvasah [Bg. 3.27]. You are being acted, influenced. Just like

Hare Krsna

Please accept my humble obeisance. All glories to Srila Prabhupada

The human form of life is called arthada because the body can very nicely help the embodied soul to achieve the highest perfection. Prahlada Maharaja said that even though temporary, the body can give us the highest perfectional achievement. In the process of evolution from the lower to the higher grade of living, the human form of life is a great boon.

But maya is so strong that in spite of achieving this great boon of t

In ancient Greece (469 - 399 BC), Socrates was widely lauded for his wisdom.

"Wait a moment," Socrates replied, "Before you tell me I'd like you to pass a little test. It's called the Triple Filter Test."
'Triple filter?" asked the acquaintance.
