स्वर्ग में विचरण करते हुए
अचानक एक दुसरे के सामने आ गए
विचलित से कृष्ण ,प्रसन्नचित सी राधा
कृष्ण सकपकाए, राधा मुस्काई
इससे पहले कृष्ण कुछ कहते राधा बोल उठी
कैसे हो द्वारकाधीश ?
जो राधा उन्हें कान्हा कान्हा कह के बुलाती थी
उसके मुख से द्वारकाधीश का संबोधन
कृष्ण को भीतर तक घायल कर गया
फिर भी किसी तरह अपने आप को संभाल लिया
और बोले राधा से .........
मै तो तुम्हारे लिए आज भी कान्हा हूँ
तुम तो द्वारकाधीश मत कहो!
आओ बैठते है ....
कुछ मै अपनी कहता हूँ कुछ तुम अपनी कहो
सच कहूँ राधा जब जब भी तुम्हारी याद

बेगाना

सारी उम्र उसे सजाया
तपती धूप
बारिस से बचाया
हंसाया ,रुलाया
जब भी रूठा
मन्नतों से मनाया
भगवान हे साक्षी
खुद से ज्यादा बहलाया
बिश्वास था मुझे
ये  मेरे साथ
हर पल रहा है
स्तब्ध हू देखकर.........
............वो चिता पर जल रहा है

“Spiritual; Not Religious”

Hare krsna 

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada


Spirit is undying (eternal), internal and God’s fingerprint. Religion is temporary, external and man’s concoction. The Vedas teach “Sanatan Dharma” which eclipses religion and can restore the eternal soul to its pure original condition. 

The impersonalists have come up with yet another catchy formula to bolster up their own radically independent concepts of what “Spirituality” consists of. The latest euphemism for promo

Stop complaining about your circumstances

Hare krsna

 Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada


It’s extremely rare to find a successful person who whines, complains, and frets about his circumstances. This is despite the fact that he may have overcome great obstacles to achieve his level of success. On the other hand, it’s extremely common for struggling individuals to continually blame their circumstances for their lack of joy and happiness. 

The real question is: what came first – the attitude or the success? T

दुःखालयमं

चेहरे पर हंसी

दिल रोता है

बनावटी है दुनिया

मायाजाल में उलझे

पग पग में पीड़ा

फिर भी

मन यही खोताहै

यह कोई नयी बात नहीं

जनम जनम की कहानी है

हर बार कान पकड़ता हूँ

रोते रोते मरता हूँ

आता हूँ फिर से

दो रोटी की तलाश में

सारा जीवन ढोता हूँ

सत्य पहचाने बिन

कोल्हू का बैल बन जाता हूँ

और फिर से

...

...

चेहरे पर हंसी

दिल रोता है

Hare krsna

 Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada


When someone is doing something or is about to do something, in a way we don’t want it to be done and when we are not able to accept it, we become angry.

However, When someone is doing something or is about to do something, in a way we don’t want it to be done - and we are able to accept it- we remain tolerant.

When someone has something which we don’t have, or someone is able to produce the results which we are not able

The Holy Cow

The Holy Cow:- The sacred Ness of the cow is a central and crucial element in Hindu belief. The cow is supposed to be the living symbol of Mother Earth. For the 201x134-images-stories-ashram-17-Activity-Gaushala-3.jpgearly migrants the cow was an indispensable member of the family. As agriculture was the occupation of the migrants, the cow provided them with milk and its byproducts and also necessities of life such as fuel, manure for the farm, etc. During this time the Aryans prayed to their numerous gods through ‘yagna’ (from ‘yaj’, to worship).

Thought Of The Day

Bhakti means to be free from the attachment of this material world and to become attached to Krsna. Because you have to attach to something. You cannot become unattached. That is not possible. So, in order to become attached to Krsna or to enter into the devotional service of the Lord, one has to become detached from this material affection. That is wanted. Ordinarily, they go to Krsna for maintaining the attachment with this material world. Just like, "O God, give us our daily bread." That mean

Hare krsna 

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada


Once, there was a pristine green field that was alive and lush, amidst the extraordinary bloom of springtime. Next to it happened to sit another field. This one was full of weeds, dirt and rough edged stones. This field was a testament to mediocrity and an acute lack of care. 

Through the operation of nature's laws, the seeds of the weeds from the mediocre field were slowly blown over to the lush field. And so, day by d

Venue: Vrindavan, 2004

Some time I still saying that during Krishna’s time if there were photographers and video graphers then we could have watched the video of Krishna’s pastime video live as it is, we could have seen the photographs of those times. But there as then I was listening to Radhanath Maharaj speak, it was just like watching the video no need of these machine (devotees laugh).  Maharaj gets into  quite a few intricate details of the pastimes that he paints a beautiful and complete pi

A poem and thoughts.....

   I grew up in an abusive home.  It took me many years and mistakes to be where I am today.  From the moment I heard the Mahamantra and saw the beautiful form of our dear Lord a sense of peace pervaded my whole being.  If not for Krsna in my life I honestly do not think I would be here now.  For the first time in my life I knew what true unconditional love is and knew I was not alone...

   I wrote this poem a couple of months ago.  It came to me after doing Japa.  It was as if I was seeing a vis

Thought Of The Day

Krsna's arrangement is very complete. Purnam idam purnam adah purnat purnam udacyate [Isopanisad, Invocation]. Krsna has given us everything in complete. There is no question... Although we have come to this material world for undergoing some tribulation on account of our rebellious attitude towards Krsna... Krsna, we are meant for serving Krsna, but we have rebelled: "Why shall I serve Krsna? I shall serve my senses. I shall remain independent without Krsna." This is our folly. That is not poss

Talking decreases ones Life

2514861935?profile=original

Prajalpa means talking all nonsense. Suppose politics."What Mr. Nixon did yesterday, or what did he say?" So what interest we have got in Mr. Nixon? We shall not waste our time talking this politics, that politics, this sociology, this cinema, this affair, no. We have nothing to do with that. That is called prajalpa, unnecessary talking.Talking means decreasing your duration of life. Talking. So why should you decrease your life unnecessarily?

The Catherine Incident


Hare Krsna Prabhus,

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

Some devotees wrote to me asking what happened with the lady who sent the letter complaining about her experience with a book distributor. I found out who had distributed books to her, and it turns out he's a very nice devotee whom I've known for many years. As with all of us, there is room for improvement in his service. He wrote a letter to her apologizing for what she found to be unacceptable for a per
