Verse 1.

I am sitting alone in Vrndavana-dhama In this mood I am getting many realizations. I have my wife, sons,

dughters, grandsons, everything, But I have no money so they are a fruitless glory. Krsna has shown me the naked form of material nature, By his strength it has all become tasteless to me today.yasyaham a

Thought Of The Day

The whole plan should be that people should understand that he is not animal. First thing. This is education. In the animal society there is no religion, but as soon as you claim to be in human society or civilized society, then there must be religion. Economic development secondary, next. Of course, according to medical consciousness they say atmanam atmanam, means they say "body." But atma means this body, this mind, and the soul. Real meaning of atma is soul. So there is a verse, atmanam sarv

The art of combining a man and woman

 

2514850279?profile=original

That is the art of combining a man and woman.

 

Man and woman should not be united simply on the consideration of sex life. There are many other considerations, especially character and taste. If the taste and character differ between the man and woman, their combination will be unhappy. Even about forty years ago, in Indian marriages, the taste and character of the boy and girl were first of all matched, and then they were allowed to marry. This was done under the direction of the respective par

Thought Of The Day

So as our this material body is not our real form... The real form is within this body, spiritual form. This body is explained as the dress. The dress is made when there is a real form. Just like you have got coat. Because you have got hands, the coat has got a hand. Your shirt: because you have got hand, the shirt has got a hand. But you are not the shirt or the coat. Similarly, because we are spiritual forms, maybe very minute, therefore we grow our hands and legs and heads and so many things.

Our False Ego

Krsna… such a beautiful transcendental word! It has so many meanings hidden in it, so many layers, and so many forms.


Once we know about Krsna, it is difficult to not think of His glories. He astonishes us with His power. He surprises us with His leelas. He loves us with His heart. And he takes care of us with His mercy. Oh, this language has such a dearth of words… words that can accurately describe Him and the love that we share with Him. (I wonder if there is a transcendental language that can

Houston

This year, Gita Jayanti, the day on which Lord Krsna spoke the Bhagavad-gita to Arjuna, will be celebrated on November 28.

The Bhagavad-gita is also known as the Gitopanisad and is considered one of the Upanisads. The title Bhagavad-gita is sometimes translated as "The Song of God." Gita mean "song." God, Krsna, is so sublime that whatever He speaks is music and poetry. The word bhagavan has been analyzed by Vedic authorities. Bhaga means "opulence" and is related to the wo
