Thought Of The Day

krsna bhuliya jiva bhoga vancha kare
pasate mayara tare japatiya dhare


Actually our position is to serve Krsna. That is real position. Caitanya Mahaprabhu starts His instruction from this point, that we are eternal servant of Krsna, and because we have rebelled not to serve, therefore Krsna, out of His unlimited mercy and compassion, He comes down and teaches, "You rascal, surrender. Why you are suffering unnecessarily?" Sarva-dharman parityajya mam ekam saranam: [Bg. 18.66] "You rascal, you give

Learn to see through the eyes of scriptures.......................Nectarean Mellows

The lesson of life is throughout the Bhagavatam, throughout the Holy Scriptures, whoever you are in this world. Visible enemies, invisible enemies but know that all visible enemies are being induced and empowered by the invisible enemies. The entire problem in the entire cosmic manifestation come about, due to the influence of uncontrolled mind, is coming due to arr

Here are some experiences and realizations of devotees who give people Krsna consciousness through books by Srila Prabhupada and his followers.
Two Forms of the Lord

One day in Prague in 1996 I was supposed to be distributing books, but I couldn't get up the nerve to approach anyone. After a while I became upset with myself.
"How can you just sit here while these people walking by are searching for the very books you're holding in your hands? Do something!"
At last I pulled myself together and show

Thought Of The Day

So Durga-devi is keeping you captivated. When Krsna says, "Let him go," immediately released. Immediately you are released. And when Krsna says, "Keep him under your control," so you have to remain. So we are captivated now within this material world. We are announcing that "We are independent. Whatever we like, we can do." These are all foolishness. You are entangling yourself, simply entangling. A little mistake -- you'll have to suffer. Just like in our daily affairs you can eat so much. A li

Can any one of us very confidently say that we have never done anything wrong in our lives? We haven’t behaved in a shoddy or disrespectful way with others? The interesting aspect of our life is that we tend to forget something wrong which we do to others but always remember what others have done to us. We always vie for a person’s blood who misbehaved with us, spoke to us arrogantly or did not show any respect to us. The sight of that person agitates us, their success pains us. We always pray t

(From Book Jaiva Dharma) - Types of knowledge

Hare Krishna -
 
Please accept my humble obeisances.
All glories to Krishna and to all of his pure devotees and aspiring devotees.
 
----------

Digambara: Some people say that society is advancing with the increase of knowledge in the world, and eventually it will be like heaven on earth.

Advaita: That is simply fantasy. It is quite extraordinary that people have faith in this, and it is even more bizarre that others have the audacity to propagate such a view without actually believing it themselves.

In fact, the mind is our only enemy.......................Nectarean Mellows

Bhagavad-Gita tells us - for one who controls the mind, the minds is the best of friends. But for one who fails to do so, the mind is the greatest enemy. In fact, the mind is our only enemy. And the nature of the mind, although it is impelling, dictating to exterminate innocent people, the mind is inciting civilizations to create massive degree of nuclear bombs to even drop

Bhagavad-gita eCourse 2013 by BhaktiLife.org

Bhagavad-gita should be read daily. One principle reason for Lord Krsna's advent on earth was to deliver His personal instructions in the form this text.

Anyone studying Bhagavad-gita carefully will have a life-changing experience.even if they have read the book before. Bhagavad-gita is a living scripture, existing on the Absolute plane of existence. It never grows old because it is filled with axiomatic truths which ring true eternally.

Thought Of The Day

Because we become diseased, we become subject to birth and death, we... This is all due to our sinful activities. Why are repeatedly...? We are eternal. Na hanyate hanyamane sarire [Bg. 2.20]. This is our position, that we do not die even after the body's destruction. Then why should I be in this position, that repeatedly I have to die, I have to give up this body, again accept another body, again suffer? This is the problem, but mudha, duskrtina, they do not see to the real problem. That is the

Thought Of The Day

If one has got sincere desire to serve Krsna in any position, in any body, in any circumstance, he is jivan-mukta. That is paramahamsa. Jivan-mukta means although he's living in this body, he's paramahamsa. He has nothing to do with this body. He has everything to do with Krsna.
