Steve Jobs and Hare Krishna

Posted by Umesh modak on October 11, 2011 at 8:15pm

The world continues to mourn the death of Apple founder and visionary Steve Jobs, who passed away on Wednesday, October 5, hailing him as an innovator who forever changed the landscape of our lives. In offering our condolences, Hare Krishna devotees might be especially interested to reflect on some interesting connections between this remarkable man and our own faith tradition. Here are three:

First, as a young man Jobs regularly attended the Sunday Feast at an ISKCON temple. He famously recollec

Don’t ask Him for castles -as they will turn to ruins;Don’t ask Him for mortals- as they will turn to coffins;Don’t ask Him for beginnings- as they will turn to endings;Don’t ask but love Sri Krishna - they all will turn to blessings.

Anyone who has any desire or aspiration for satisfying his senses by becoming more and more important, either in the material sense or in the spiritual sense, cannot actually relish the really sweet taste of devotional service.(The Nectar of Devotion, p. 33).By H.D.G. Srila Prabhupada

What is PRIDE?

Posted by Radha Krishna Spiritual Portal on October 10, 2011 at 11:56am

Boasting of 'P'ossessions;

Living in 'R'eluctance;

Greed in 'I'ntentions;

Lost in 'D'esires;

Lust rules 'E'motions;

When life got wasted in 'PRIDE';

Then our hearts traumatized;

Sri Guru showed Sri Krishna inside;

Transcendental love the devotional guide.

In the Hare Krsna movement, the chanting of the Hare Krsna maha-mantra, the dancing in ecstasy, and the eating of the remnants of food offered to the Lord are very, very important. One may be illiterate or incapable of understanding the philosophy, but if he partakes of these three items, he will certainly be liberated without delay.(Sri Caitanya-caritamrta, Madhya-lila 15.237, Purport).BY H.D.G. Srila Prabhupada

If one sincerely searches for spiritual salvation, then Krsna, being situated in everyones heart, gives him the intelligence to find a suitable spiritual master. By the grace of a spiritual master one gets the proper instruction and advances in his spiritual life.(Srimad-Bhagavatam 3.20.4, Purport)by H.D.G Srila Prabhupada

Power of Devotion!!!!!

Some made portraits;Some made sculptures;Some wrote couplets;Some meditate features;Everyone described Sri Krishna through their own emotion;Devotees call this the power of devotion.

Dear Çréla Prabhupäda,

WHILE OFFERING my obeisances unto you, I visualize your lotus feet, so soft and so tenderly pink. I wish I could become a speck of dust and cling onto them forever. They are the most wonderful shelter, and who needs it more than I? I am your youngest son, and most probably that is why you showered so much affection upon me. You allowed me to stay with you all the time, and whenever I went anywhere, you asked me, "Where did you go?" I used to give some quick excuses. B

Trees never ask to be paid for it shade;Flame never asks to be paid for its light;Clouds never ask to be paid for its rain;Divine never asked to be paid for what He gave;Thus devote selflessly where expectations have no space.

CURBING THE GREATEST SYMBOL OF SIN – LUST

Posted by jyoti ramkrishna khadse on October 7, 2011 at 10:42am

Lord Krishna did talk about this topic in Bhagavad Gita. So we will also talk and discuss about it. In fact the symbol of sin, the lust, which is the biggest enemy, can be defeated not just by talking. Discussion is necessary for understanding. But we would succeed curbing the lust (and other five - anger, greed, illusion, pride and envy) by chanting of Hare Krishna, by honoring prasadam, and by association of devotees. These ultimately help us to curb that symbol of sin. Not just the knowledge
