Prabhupäda: Come on. Hm. What is that?
Devotee: Sanskrit.
Prabhupäda: Bhägavata? So from the very beginning, oà namo bhagavate, janmädy asya yataù [SB 1.1.1].
Pradyumna: (chants oà namo bhagavate väsudeväya and then the verse one word at a time with devotees and Çréla Prabhupäda repeating until Çréla Prabhupäda stops him at the word abhijïaù.)
Prabhupäda: (chants whole verse one word at a time with devotees repeating) Like that.
Devotee: (indistinct)
Prabhupäda: Yes.
Pradyumna: Janmädy asya yato 'nvayä

janmädy asya yato 'nvayäd itarataç cärtheñv abhijïaù svaräö
tene brahma hådä ya ädi-kavaye muhyanti yat sürayaù
tejo-väri-mådäà yathä vinimayo yatra tri-sargo 'måñä

[SB 1.1.1]
So Vyäsadeva is offering his obeisances to satyaà param, the Absolute Supreme Truth, not to the relative truth. Everyone has to offer obeisances to somebody. Somebody... In our practical life, at least, we have to offer obeisances to the police constable. When you go on

                100 Monkeyz is a collection of short stories which map the globe, from the rust belt of Buffalo, N.Y., to the rice paddies of Viet Nam, from the desert Southwest to the rolling hills of West Virginia.

                These stories deal with the universal themes of war, love, death and the place of soldiers returning from a distant country torn by civil war and destructive chaos.

                Here we find heroes and villains, brave soldiers and cowardly ruffians. We encounter a

Vaisnavi Retreat

Dear Devotees, Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada! Hare Krsna!

On behalf of the Vrindavana Institute for Higher Education, we are heartily inviting you to take part in the upcoming third International Vaisnavi Retreat, to be held at the foothill of Sri Giriraja Govardhana from March 30 to April 3, 2013.

The Vaisnavi Retreat was started in 2011 with the idea of promoting spiritual association among female sadhakas. It focuses on hearing and chanting

It is too easy to be nice with someone who is good to us. But how difficult it is to deal with those who are nasty to us? Tolerance is celebrated as a divine quality and intolerance is touted as the weapon of the demoniac. We long to develop the quality of ‘tolerance’ but we easily succumb to intolerance when confronted with unpleasant situations and circumstances. After venting out our inner angst we realize our mistake but sadly it is too late by that time. But why do we lack ‘tolerance’? Theo

Every problem always has two solutions.  One of the solutions solves our problem permanently and the other gives an impression that the problem has been solved. When Vidura was rebuked and humiliated by Duryodhana just before the onset of Mahabharata war then Vidura did not react angrily. Instead of confronting the arrogant Kauravas, Vidura left in search for higher truth. He went on a pilgrimage; he visited several holy places and met several holy men including Uddhava and sage Maitreya. When V

So we are, at the present moment in different conditions of life on account of our different activities, pious and impious, dharma, adharma. So pious activities means to be controlled by Krsna, and impious activities means to be controlled by maya. We have to be controlled. Our position is such that we cannot become controller. That is not possible. If we want to become controller, that is my artificial desire. And the resultant action we will have to suffer. First of all you must understand thi

“100 Monkeyz” is the story of a modern-day ksatriya, an autobiographical memoir of a Viet Nam vet with PTSD, written from a jail cell where the author, a Hare Krsna devotee, is currently serving consecutive life sentences.

                This memoir narrates the adventures and maturation of a troubled boy about to become a man on the battlefields of Viet Nam in the 1960’s. We are led through the towns and villages of Viet Nam where as a young soldier and combatant in that country’s war, the auth

Book Distribution Bus Party Part – 02

We were 7 people on the bus party to Amravati, a district in Maharashtra state of India. This happened in a village called Shirajgaon. I was doing door to door book distribution and seeing a mediocre response I decided to do go for the banks and offices. I came to know that there is a local Maharashtra bank at walking distance from my location. so I was knocking doors and enquiring from the villagers. It was 11am. Mostly the village streets go empty after 10a
