Therefore we should try to give to Krsna, not to ask. Because He has given us everything without asking. Without asking. We go to temple or churches to ask for our daily bread, but the birds and beasts, they have no churches, no temples, they do not ask. But how do they get their bread? Therefore according to Srimad-Bhagavatam, there is no actually bread problem. The only problem is that we have forgotten our relationship with God. Whatever...

What is the process of connecting to Krsna?.......................Nectarean Mellows

So the demigods were defeated by the demons just as every devotee will be defeated by Maya if we offend other Vaishnavas.  But now they had nothing, now they were under the rule of the asuras, they were helpless, like an elephant afflicted by forest fire. Indra was so big but helpless, it was beyond his powers. He comes to Brahma and Brahma preaches to them, why a

You will all be happy to know that BBT Bombay has reprinted these classic volumes of children's KRSNA Book and they are a very nice quality. For some unknown reason, some overintelligent person there introduced a few additions of unconnected pretty pictures, which can be easily corrected next printing. But the book still stands on its own as very endearing for our children growing up in Krishna consciousness. Because of ill health, I was unable to do it myself, and I am grateful for Gopal Krishn

Subway Saviors by Muralivadaka Dasa

At Christmastime these kids go underground to give the gift of love.

The screeching of the subway car announces our arrival at the next station. "Gentlemen, this is it!" I say, lifting a box of Back to Godhead magazines as I get up. The subway grinds to a halt, and seven young men surge toward the sliding doors. As we step onto the platform, a disembodied voice crackles: "Thirty-fourth Street-Harold Square Macy's. Have a nice holiday."

"Is this where we distribut

So we should always remember this, that Krsna does not require our service, but if we give some service to Krsna, that is our benefit. This is the formula. Don't think that Krsna is very much obliged. But He feels obliged. Why? Avidusah. We are all fools and rascals. We are thinking that we are giving some service. No. We cannot give any. We are so insignificant that we cannot. He's unlimited, and we are very, very limited, tiny. But still, just the small child gives something to the father... I

An internal battle .......................Nectarean Mellows

We are all in a war against Maya and what is the war against Maya? - it’s the war against the asuras within our heart. Yes? It’s an internal battle, its Kurushetra going on within all of us. If we are not fighting that means we have surrendered to the Kurus. Arjuna didn't want to fight, just let things be peaceful but then Duryodhana and the kurus would just continue to reign. So, within o

The Krishna consciousness movement is meant to give perfect knowledge to human society. By such knowledge one can understand who he is, who God is, what the material world is, why we have come here, why we must undergo so much tribulation and misery, and why we have to die. Of course, no one wants to die, but death will come. No one wants to become an old man, but still old age comes. No one wants to suffer from disease,

The great Vaisnava saint, Tukarama, was born in Deha, Maharashtra in 1608. Srila Prabhupada writes: “It is said that Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu initiated Tukarama when he visited Pandarapura, and thus Tukarama became his disciple. Tukarama Acaraya became very famous in the Maharashtra province, and he spread the sankirtan movement all over the provence.” [ CC Madhya 9.282 purport ] Tukarama appeared much after Lord Caitanya, but in his writings states that one day Mahaprabhu appeared to him in a

Who are conditioned souls? Those who have got this material body. They are called conditioned souls. Because this material body means you have to live under certain conditions. Just like I require fan. Why? Because I have been put into the condition of warm. I cannot tolerate it, but I have to live. Similarly severe cold. I do not want it, but I have to live. I do not want set fire at home, but there is fire, and there is fire brigade. In this way, in every step of our life we are always in dang
