(Compiled from notes on lectures of H. H. Mahavishnu Goswami)
H. H. Mahavishnu Goswami Maharaj shows a perfect balance of gravity and humour in his lectures. In one of the lectures Maharaj mentions that yasoda-nandana vraja-jana-ranjana. In Vraja-bhumi everybody walks. Vraja means to walk and jana means everybody in general. Then he says that this walking will keep one in good shape and will remove the fat fro

A Sincere Soul
I saw a girl sitting on the grass and studying and was going to approach her, but for some reason I talked to some other people instead. Yet I felt that Krishna really wanted me to offer her a book. The people I talked to took books, which ended up being the last books I had in my bag. However, later that day when I had more books I saw her again, and she waved at me to come and talk to her. I proceeded to say hello and offer her some books and she joyfully introduced herself and t

Often, when we’re looking for an answer, we “turn up the volume” of our thinking. This might be called active problem solving. We think, think, think—and then we think some more. We get personally involved in the process.

It has been estimated that the average human being has around 60,000 thoughts per day. That's a lot of thoughts. Some of these thoughts are going to be positive and productive.
