Mahaprabhu has taught in Siksastaka (Cc. adi 17.31):

trnad api sunicena taror api sahinuuna

amanina manadena kirtaniyah sada harih

This is the most important teaching in Siksastaka.

Bhaktivinode Thakur has sung in Kalyanakalpataru (3.2.8):

`ami ta' vaisnava', e buddhi ha-ile,

amani na ha'ba ami

pratisthasa asi', hrdaya dusibe,

ha-iba niraya-gami

If I say, "I am vaisnava," then I cannot become amani and manada; I'll be unable to offer respect to others. Rather, I will demand respect, "Hey, don't you know I am vaisnava? You should pay respect to me, you rascal! Don't

When this material body becomes old and worn out, or when it is rendered useless by some accident, we put it aside as we might put aside a soiled or ruined suit and take up another material body.

tatha sarirani vihaya jirnany

anyani samyati navani dehi

"As a person puts on new garments, giving up old ones, similarly, the soul accepts new material bodies, giving up the old and useless ones."

INTRODUCTION TO PURUSOTTAMA MONTH:
Purusottama month, or adhika masa (extra month) is also called mala masa, which means dirty or useless month. In India the sadhus, sadhakas and pious people of all sampradayas (Vaisnvava and Advaitan) undertake serious penances and austerities (vratas) during Purusottama Month. Now let us examine the name, history, benefits and m

Today I heard something very interesting thing from my friend(He is my current team lead). My client is in Basel. In year 2009 three of my seniors went to a library to buy some novel.

They happened to meet a Caribbean woman aged 45 and had two sons. Following was the conversation between the woman and seniors. I have tried to make it as simple as possible. Please forgive me for any mistakes in

There are two kinds of philosophers. One class of philosopher, they say that we are one with God. Another class of philosopher says that we are different, God is different from living entity. But Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu has adjusted that we are simultaneously one and different. Just like the father and the son. The father is one with the son, but at the same time, the son is different from the father. The son cannot claim cent percent equality with the father. That is not possible. But the son'

Our group of brahmacaris from Sri Harinam Mandir in Tallinn, Estonia departed on the 15th of May 2012 on two vans to a whole summer long European Harinam Sankirtan tour. And traveling with us are the wonderful Deities of Jagannatha, Baladeva and Subhadra.

Question

Why should we offer worship to Bhagavan  by austerities like *Nama-japam* ,  *Pooja* , etc ? . Isn't it sufficient just to remember Him always ?.

Answer

Srimad Ramayanam's *Aranyakandam*  section, contains *Lakshmanopadesam* ( Advice to Lakshmana) . Sri Rama, Sita-devi and Lakshmana were living in the forest . One day, Lakshmana requested Sri Rama to advise about the universal principle.

The tussle between “freewill” and “destiny” has been primordial. There is one famous Greek play titled “Oedipus Rex” by Sophocles. The main character Oedipus has the tragic destiny of marrying his own mother revealed to him by the soothsayer. Shaken by the revelation, he decides to escape his fate by leaving his royal parents and his kingdom, but ironically the more he tries to give a slip, nearer he gets to the prediction. Finally the fate takes the bet

Question: Vivekananda, Football, and Eggplant?

I wanted to know what is your view (the Vaishnava view) of Swami Vivekananda's quote that it is better to play football than to read the Bhagavad-gita.

Also, he had a similar view on the Tulasi plant wherein he recommends to grow an eggplant instead.

Thank you very much,
Your servant,

“Reasonable” suggests the ability to see things fairly, without the self-serving justification that so often clouds our vision. 

It’s the ability to see your own contribution to a problem and the willingness to listen to and learn from other's point of view. Being reasonable includes the ability to put yourself in the shoes of others, being able to see the bigger picture, and to maintain perspective.

For many people, there are essentially only two speeds—fast and faster. It seems that, most of the time, we are moving very quickly, doing three or four things at once. Often we are only paying partial attention or half listening to the people we are working with. Our minds are cluttered and overly busy.

Perhaps the reason so many of us spend so much time moving fast is that we fear falling behind or losing our edge. Our
