HK PAMHO

During Arati several articles are offered to the Deity while ringing a bell: incense, ghee lamp, water, cloth, flowers, yak-tail fan and peacock fan.

The articles used in Arati represent the material elements in their pure form and correspond to the sense objects. In other words, the Aratiarticles are satisfying to the senses and represent our offering all the elements in the Lord’s creation back to the Lord for His satisfaction.

Dear Devotees. The new “Church Law” in Hungary will take away ISKCON Hungary’s church status as of January 1st requiring us to reapply for the same next year. However the government has not provided any legal

The term Sastri (Shastri) refers to a person conversant with ancient sacred texts of spiritual knowledge and wisdom, known as Shastra in the Sanskrit language. It is traditionally offered to accomplished students of the theology and philosophy of the Vedas. According to the Bhagavad Gita, among all the Vedas, those texts that teach how to develop bhakti, divine love for God, the Supreme Soul, are the best. We are aiming for that with our education.

In Bhaktivedanta College, we have been offering

During the time of Maharaja Pariksit, the Kali-yuga could not enter. He was so strong king. Kali-yuga means these four principles: illicit sex, intoxication, gambling, and meat-eating. This is Kali-yuga. Before the beginning of Kali-yuga, there was no such thing in the world, all over the world. With the beginning of the Kali-yuga, these things have begun: illicit sex, intoxication... Now it is so spread that every home, every house, every country, is full of these four principles of sinful life

Criticize cheaters and swindlers, not struggling devotees

And that too with care and a sympathetic heart

Don’t shout on his face, “you are a hypocrite”

Speak pure principles in a general gatherin

Don’t focus too much on his external deficiencies

     Appreciate his good past and sincere intentions and deeds

     If you come down on him with force to prove him bad

    You will break his heart, discourage him to become mad or sad

Don’t make a fault, to counteract another fault

Then what makes us differen

 There is no reason for us to dwell in darkness. An inextinguishable soul light burns in every living being. This is the supreme blessing of GOd and it is given equally to all. It rests with us to make medium thorough which the light shines, so transparent, so devoid of everything that is alien, that it will shed its glow uncoored and unreflected. The light itself is unfailing but we czan block its radence by selfish petty thoughts and unworthy actions by pride ambitions and harashness.....hare

Print as many books as possible, this is my real pleasure. By printing these books of our Krishna Conscious philosophy in so many languages we can actually inject our movement into the masses of persons all over the world, especially there in the Western countries and we can literally turn whole nations into Krishna Conscious nations. [Letter to Hrdayananda, 21 December 1974]

Worldwide, friends of Krishna are studying Vedic writings, and although most are eager to study systematically, they're not always able to spend a few months to relocate and take the courses in a classroom setting.

Thanks to internet technology, Bhaktivedanta College has prepared for you the Certificate in Bhakti-yoga Studies and Bhakti Sastri programs. In our virtual classroom, you can now take our online programs in your own home, in your own time zone, and from any computer in the world.

Srimad Bhagavatam 8.6.12 The Demigods and Demons Declare a Truce
In this verse, the cultivation of bhakti-yoga is compared to many material activities. By friction one canget fire from wood, by digging the earth one can get food grains and water, and by agitating the milk bag of the cow one can get nectarean milk. Milk is compared to nectar, which one can drink to become im
