Rollerblading Sells Books
 

By Ananta Nitai Das (Ireland)

A funny incident happened on Grafton Street in Dublin. Two girls were rollerblading near the local park. I rode up near them on my bike and started talking to them. They stopped. Eva was very favorable and took two books for herself and her friend Sinead -- "The Higher Taste" and "The Science of Self-realization." I found it easy to get Eva to chant, and soon she and I started chanting Hare Krsna together, as Sinead
looked on glumly.

Dear Prabhus,
PAMHO AGTSP

Just as the court case in Tomsk promoted Srila Prabhupada's edition of the Bhagavad-gita light-years beyond the means of our Iskcon society, so does the premiere of a 3-D (glasses) animated feature film from Reliance.  The producer, Ashish Kukarne, is responsible for the uber-successful  "Little Krishna" television series. It caught on big-time in Indonesia, Turkey, Brasil, and many other countries.  Krishna i

Dear Bhakti Vijnana Goswami and other Leaders and Devotees of the Russian Yatra,

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

We are writing on behalf of the GBC Body and the worldwide community of ISKCON devotees to congratulate you on your recent victory in the Appeal Court on the Tomsk Case against the Bhagavad Gita. We would like to especially congratulate you, Maharaja, as well as Sadhu Priya Prabhu and the other devotees who worked so hard for many mon

So in the Kali-yuga this sacrifice is recommended: yajnaih sankirtana-prayair yajanti hi sumedhasah [SB 11.5.32]. Sankirtana-yajna. This yajna will help you. Real thing is the heart, the mind. If this yajna, sankirtana-yajna, cleanses your mind and heart, then you come to the platform of knowledge. Then automatically other things become effective. So in this age it is recommended that other yajnas will not be effective, neither it is recommended. But the sankirtana-yajna -- yajnaih sankirtanaih

Hare Krishna,

                Many times we argue for nothing. We argue with such intensity that we ourselves forget that we are contradicting ourselves. While arguing, one must be honest.

Arguments are generally for reaching to the conclusion based on the opinions and intelligence of some people because we may have overlooked some aspects of the problem or we may be biased and may have formed a opinion based on some "key terms" in the problem, overlooking the others.

              But most of the

Once upon a time, sage Narada came into the presence of the Lord. The Lord asked him, "Narada, in all your travels through the world have you been able to discover the principal secret of the universe? Have
you been able to understand the mystery behind this world? Everywhere you look you see the five great
elements, earth, water, fire, air and ether. Which do you think occupies the first place? Of everything that

Preaching in South Gujarat

We are a small group of brahmacaris distributing books in South Gujarat. We've had several interesting incidents while on sankirtana.

We often distribute books on a moving train. Many of the conductors know us due to our famous temple in Juhu, Mumbai. Normally they don't give us any trouble. But one day they did. Two of our brahmacaris were distributing books on a train going to Mumbai. A conductor approached them for their tickets and ask

That is the ways of this material nature. The ways of material nature is that you cannot remain in comfort. That is not possible. By laws of nature... Tri-tapa-yatana, three kinds of miseries, adhyatmika, adhibhautika, adhidaivika, they must be there always.So even if we are situated in one kind of comfortable position, then another uncomfort will come and attack. That is called tri division. Adhyatmika, adhibhautika, adhidaivika. Or there is no cough, or there is no trouble, but you receive on

British Celebrities Get Prabhupada's Bhagavad Gita

I was fortunate to be invited to a function at which I accompanied my seniors Jai Nitai and Sachi Kisore Prabhus. The function was dedicated to a senior British lady named Jo Fillippou upon her being formally honored as a Member of the British Empire (something like Paul Mc Cartney's being knighted.) Somehow she knew our Jai Nitai Prabhu, so we were invited as well, but he didn't prepare a speech. Jai Nitai was formerly a major book distributo

Gopis bhakti to Bhagavan Sri Krishna , is a role model to Vaishnavas. These ladies surrendered totally to Bhagavan . They even abandoned their husbands and children to reach Bhagavan.  This is *Sharanagathi* .

Devi Parvathy asked husband Lord Shiva, "Was it appropriate for Sri Krishna to dance with those Gopis , since they are wives of some others".

Lord Shiva replied with a smile, "Is it inappropriate to touch one's own

Therefore, spiritual education begins from this body. As Krsna says in the Bhagavad-gita, dehino 'smin yatha dehe [Bg. 2.13]. Asmin dehe, in this body there is the spiritual spark who is the proprietor of the body. This is the beginning of spiritual education.

So this Krsna consciousness movement means training people how to become tapasvi, tapasvi, who is undergoing tapasya, regulative, so that he may be cured from this permanent disease, birth, death, old age and disease.

Krishna the butter thief

Thank you for coming in this endeavor of worshipping Bhagvatam, we took Bhagvatam on the procession today and if you want to glorify somebody we really take him on your.  Those players they also do when someone wins the match they lift him really give lift. So we lifted Bhagvatam it is above everything else also. It was on the head and it was even worshipped on the way (laughs) at least one resident ran out the lamp to worship Bhagvatam of course our chanting.
