From the dark age to the dark hour

Hare Krsna

Please accept my humble obeisance. All glories to Srila Prabhupada


The scientific community is given credit for bringing the civilization to the modern technological advanced age, conveniently labeling the history as dark ages. There was a rapid development in scientific community in terms of discoveries and inventions which led to Industrial Revolution. This revolution changed the face of the earth as we see it.

This advent of revolution was manifested in the form of consumerism. The fa

Thought Of The Day

So Krsna has got two kinds of existence: prakata and aprakata. Prakata means when you see Krsna personally. When Krsna is present on this planet, everyone can see Krsna. And actually, everyone saw. But only the devotees could understand that "Here is the Supreme Personality of Godhead." So that is called prakata, "physically present." And there is another phase, which is called aprakata, "not physically present." But that does not mean Krsna is dead or God is dead. That does not mean. Prakata or

मधुवन की लताओं में घनश्याम तुम्हें देखूं ! घनघोर
घटाओं में घनश्याम तुम्हें देखूं !!
यमुना का किनारा हो , निर्मल जल धरा हो !
वहां झुला झुलाते हुए घनश्याम तुम्हें देखूं !! जागृत
की अवस्था में, तुम सामने हो मेरे ! सो जाऊ
तो सपनों में घनश्याम तुम्हें देखूं !! वृन्दावन
की गल्लियाँ हो, संग चंचल सखियाँ हो! वहां रास
रचाते हुए घनश्याम तुम्हें देखूं !! टेढे हो खड़े मोहन,
टेढा है मुकुट तेरा ! अधरों पे धरे मुरली घनश्याम
तुम्हें देखूं !! मधुवन की लताओं में घनश्याम तुम्हें देखूं !
घनघोर घटाओं में घनश्याम तुम्

HARE KRISHNA

हरि नाम रस क्या है? जब हम भजन में गहरे उतरते
हैं, ध्यान में परमात्मा के गुणगान में जब
समूची इंद्रिया पूरी तरह डूब जाती है तब
हरि नाम रस के उत्पत्ति होती है. इसके बाद
संसार के विषय आकर्षित नहीं करते. मन भगवान
के चरणविन्द में अधिक लगने लगता है.
इस हरिनाम रस को पाना चाहते
हो तो सभी को सुख प्रदान करो, आनंद प्रदान
करो. यदि दिल में अशांति है
तो समझाना चाहिये की हमने ठीक तरह से
भगवान के चरणों का सहारा नहीं लिया,
क्योकि भगवत-शरणागति ही सब समस्याओं
का समाधान व सब क्लेशो का निवारण करने
की रामबाण औषधि है.

Are You a Spiritual Seeker?

Hare Krsna

Please accept my humble obeisance. All glories to Srila Prabhupada

A very interesting story , A Swamiji,

before he retired from service and took Sannyasa, was known as Mr. Rao and was in the army where his job was to train typists. This was in the pre-Independence days when India was ruled by the British. One of the students in Mr. Rao's class was a young Englishman named Thomas who continued to type badly despite all possible coaching. One day Mr. Rao got tired of him and asked him a st

Question: Why it seems that when the soul comes into contact with material nature it becomes contaminated?


Prabhupada:  He wants to enjoy this material enjoyment. Just like everyone is going to the restaurant for eating something palatable, but we are not going, and somebody is going to cinema, but we are not going to the cinema. Similarly, there are two kinds of men: one is attracted; one is not attracted. Those who are

Question: What is the nature of our relationship with God?

Young man: If one does not lose one's identity when one is returned to the Godhead, what is the nature of the relationship?

Prabhupada: Servant. God is supreme, we are all subordinate. God is maintaining us just like father maintains. So it is the duty of the son to be obedient to the father, to act according to his order. Then everything is perfect. At the present

"GLORIOUS PRAHLADA"

In the Padma Purana, it mentions that Prahalada, Hiranyakashipu, Nrsingadev, they appear many times. It’s not only this one time. At least 3 differenti2 different incarnations in other days of Brahma are described in the Padma Purana.

One of those times he (Hiranyakashipu) worshiped Shiva and got the blessing. Another time he worshiped Brahma again. When he was worshiping Shiva and he wanted Prahalada to admit tha

Why is accepting criticism so difficult?

Hare Krsna

Please accept my humble obeisance. All glories to Srila Prabhupada


Here are some of the top reasons:

Other people do not know how to criticize properly.  Most people criticize in such a way that makes us very emotional. However, we know that we cannot control how other people express themselves, but we can control how we internally respond to their criticism. 

We often take it too personally.  We must remember that it is our actions or performance that is really being criticized and not u

Thought Of The Day

Just like the child is sitting on the lap of the father. So the child is confident that "I'm secure." So it has no more any second desire. In the material world, because we have not surrendered to Krsna we are always wandering helpless. Everyone here feeling helpless. Even though one is millionaire, even though one is president, but he's feeling helpless. This is the position, material conditional life.

Beautiful Story on Material Attachments!!

Hare Krsna

Please accept my humble obeisance. All glories to Srila Prabhupada


Because of lack of transcendental knowledge, one is thinking, “Oh because of Krishna Consciousness, I will give up some happiness, like going to the movies at night.” Some kind of attachment is there.

There is a story about Sanatana Goswami’s servant. He asked Sanatana Goswami, “There is a party going on in the forest…there is a big festival. Could I go and participate?”

Sanatana Goswami said, “Festival?…in the middle of t

Bhakti of Gopis in Vrindavana !!

Hare Krsna

Please accept my humble obeisance. All glories to Srila Prabhupada


The divine plays of Bhagavan Sri Krishna are known to this world as `Rasa'. They were the replica of the truth of that when one soul reaches the bliss of divinity the divine blesses it by merging it within himself.

Gopis are known to be the women of Vrindavan who soaked their souls in the ocean of Krishna-bhakti , physically, verbally and through meditationThe whole world  bows to their feet, for they achieved the unsel
