A devotee has faith

His faith is transmitted actually. It is a matter of transmission offaith. The amount of faith we have in our heart to that extent we will be able to influence our sincere audience, sincere listeners. Andthat's the point the demigods are making here, that transcendentalreality, we have to recognize that beyond this material nature thereis another reality, transcendental reality, spiritual sky, and we haveto see the spiritual sky. And when Krishna comes that spiritual skybeco

Sign of a Devotee

So, what is the symptom of a devotee? How do you recognize a devotee? Do we recognize a devotee by his birth? By his material condition? By his material situation? No, the sign of a devotee is through his surrender to the Supreme Personality of Godhead. It doesn't matter from whatever category, whatever background one comes. Like candalo'pi dvija-shrestho hari- bhakti-parayanah. One maybe a candala but hari bhakti parayanah, when he becomes a devotee of Hari, Krishna, then he is

We are thinking we are very independent, we can do any nonsense, whatever we like. Who cares for...? But that is not good, because we are not independent. We are completely under the grip of material nature. Simply as a crazy man we declare independence. That is not a very good idea. We must know what are the anarthas and how we shall get out of it.

Lord Vishnu is enlightening everyone on the highest philosophy that there is no difference between Lord Brahma and Lord Shiva and Me, which actually includes everything else in existence. Krsna says everything comes from me.  So there is nothing in existence that is not c

(A beautiful Bhajan) 

Suprabhat’ you understand, Good. That’s how it is translated. There’s a big difference between the two. Prabha, prabhat, here ‘bha’ means ‘light’. From bha comes bhaskar, there is bhaskar sabhagruha. ‘Bha’. We are also, the country that we stay in is called ‘Bharat’. This country, that is absorbed in ‘bha’, meaning absorbed in ‘light’. Then, from the light comes the delight. So in the morning, we get good sun. Lot of countries do not even see light of the day, like England and several countries.

So from thousands of thousands of cowherd boys and the cows that was the first scene  next scene  was only Krishna and He still in his left hand He had sweet rice, yogurt rice, butter so before Krishna made  all his cowherd boys disappear cows, Brahma also noticed that whole creation was worshiping each one of those forms and each one of those forms and each one of those forms had became four handed forms (laughter) and then so he realized that all those forms were Krishna, all those thousands o

Difficulties of life may come as seasonal changes but we should not be disturbed by all those difficulties. Our process is to chant and that process will gradually clear everything in due course.

Our Real Duty

(Compiled from notes on lectures of H. H. Mahavishnu Goswami)

On the auspicious occasion of Sri Jagannath Rath Yatra at Dwarakapuri Dham on 26th January 2009, our beloved Guru Maharaja gave a nectarean class in Hindi. This posting is a humble attempt of transcribing the lecture as an offering unto our Guru Maharaj.

We should not waste our time. There is a good verse in this connection:

kaalakshepo na kartavyah / ksheenam aayuh kshane kshane

Krsna is vibhu, unlimited. We are limited. So we, we cannot be equal to Krsna. The Mayavada philosophy that there is no difference between jiva and Bhagavan... There is sufficient difference. He is vibhu; we are anu. Anor aniyan mahato mahiyan. He's the greatest of the great, and He's the smallest also. So Krsna cannot be equal..., or nobody can be equal to Krsna, or greater than Krsna. Krsna is asamordhva. Nobody can be equal or greater than Krsna. Everyone is below Krsna.
