Prakrti means under the control of the purusa. That is natural. We cannot conceive equal rights of purusa and prakrti. That is not Vedic conception. Vedic conception is purusa, the superior, Supreme, and prakrti means subordinate. Purusa is predominator, and prakrti is predominated. So we living entities, we are prakrti. Falsely if we try to become purusa, that is maya. We should remain prakrti, subservient, predominated. That is this Krsna consciousness movement. Because generally the people ar

"Ruchinam vaichitryad rijukutil nana path jusham;

nrinam ekogamyastvamasi pyasamarnavmiti"

"Due to the differences in individual dispositions, people follow different paths, but you are the only destination of all of them, just as the sea is the destination of all the waters"

sarva deva namaskaram Keshavam prati gacchati"

So it is not possible to understand Krsna, but Krsna is giving about, knowledge about Himself, as far as we can understand. That is Bhagavad-gita. So at least you try to understand Krsna as far instruction in the Bhagavad-gita... Caitanya Mahaprabhu has recommended, yare dekha tare kaha krsna-upadesa [Cc. Madhya 7.128]. The human life is meant for understanding Krsna. There is no other business. If you simply stick to this business, your life is successful. Our Krsna consciousness movement is me

Love means reciprocation.......................Nectarean Mellows

One great saint once gave an example that if a person owns everything on the earth, if he is the proprietor of everything on earth, but he is the only person alive on Earth, will he enjoy? You have all the cars, you have all the buildings, you have all the money, you have all the food, you have everything but you are the only person and there is no competition. If one little bird ca

This is bhakti-marga, devotional service, to become very humble, meek, always pray to Krsna, "Kindly consider me as one of the particle of the dust of the lotus feet of Your Lordship," this very simple thing. Man-mana. In this way think of Krsna, become His devotee, offer obeisances and whatever patram puspam, little flower, water, you can provide, offer to Krsna. In this way live very peacefully and be happy.

In this material world, everyone is trying to search out happiness and get relief from misery. There are three kinds of miseries caused by our material condition: adhyatmika, adhibhautika, and adhidaivika. 

Adhyatmika miseries are those caused by the body and mind themselves. For example, when there is some dis-arrangement of the different functions of metabolism within the body, we get a fever or some pain. Another kind

Nobody can captivate Krsna by all these material possessions. These are material possessions: money, then manpower, beauty, education, austerity, mystic power and so on, so on. There are so many things. They are not capable of approaching the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Krsna personally says, bhaktya mam abhijanati [Bg. 18.55]. He doesn't say all these material possessions, that "If one is very rich man, he can have My favor." No. Krsna is not a poor man like me, that if somebody gives me so

The most fundamental need.......................Nectarean Mellows

So in the way the sunray is related to the Sun, we are qualitatively one with God but quantitatively, always subordinate to the Supreme, as eternal servants. The soul, the conscious force, the life within us, is sac-cid-ānanda - eternal, full of knowledge and full of bliss. The soul must have bliss. It’s our nature. When we think we are this body, we will look for the bliss through t
