"Because Krsna know everyone's future does not remove our free will. Someone may
commit a theft, and if I know that then I know that he will be captured and punished.
That is knowing his future, but know that future does not mean that he had no choice not
to commit the criminal act. There are two destinies for every one. One destiny is in.
Krsna Consciousness and the other destiny is in material consciousness, so if someone is
in Krsna Consciousness then Krsna knows his future and if he is in mate
Dear devotees, Hare Krsna!

Çré Madhväcärya has brought our attention to this quotation from the Näräyaëa-saàhitä:
dväparéyair janair viñëuù
païcarätraiç tu kevalaiù
kalau tu näma-mätreëa
püjyate bhagavän hariù
"In the Dväpara-yuga one could satisfy Kåñëa or Viñëu only by worshiping opulently according to the päïcarätriké system, but in the age of Kali one can satisfy and worship the Supreme Personality of Godhead Hari simply by chanting His holy name.
("Çré Caitanya-caritämåta Antya-lélä 7.12)
In this age of Kali, real reli
Question: How Can I Start Chanting Again? |

I have recently stopped chanting my rounds because I no longer have an attraction for doing so. I am very unhappy about this, but I don't know how to solve it. How can I solve this problem? |

Answer: Be Intelligent and Feed the Real Self |

Chanting is the nourishment for the soul, and food is the nourishment for the body. Even though you know that are not your body, every day you make sure to feed it. It is not that some days you do not eat |
Srila Prabhupada has stated that we can only improve ourselves - and that is a
gradual process. Certainly life in this world is difficult for everyone and the main
difficulty is becoming Krsna conscious. That is a very personal thing. Your Krsna
consciousness is your own responsibility. You should not blame your difficulties on
your husband/wife. Sure, things could be better if he/she was a better devotee, but you
cannot change him/her. The only person you can really change is yourself, and you
don’t

Our daily chanting of the Hare Krishna mahamantra on japa beads is the most significant event of our day. It is our daily opportunity to have a personal, private meeting with God. Therefore the mood in which we chant is of the utmost importance. If our minds are wandering somewhere else during our japa, it will be difficult to remember Krishna throughout the day, and our day will be a struggle. But if we fix our minds nicely on on the mahamantra during our japa meditation, it will be easy to rem

The Hare Krishnas have until 10am on August 4 to give an undertaking that its members will stop chanting in Sydney streets. Unless the undertaking is given, we will seek a Supreme Court injunction to restrain them.
The devotees, of course, ignored the ultimatum.The whole continuing debacle had attracted the attention of the Council for Civil Liberties, an e

(Compiled from notes on lectures of H. H. Mahavishnu Goswami)
I am trying to share herewith a few of the points from the nectarean lectures given by Maharaja in June 2009 when Maharaja was here in Abudhabi on his way back to India from London. Maharaja was discussing the various qualities we have to develop so that we can enter into the Kingdom of Krishna. I am trying to post herewith a few of the points acco
Fire covered by smoke in Hypocrisy of Virtue all around.
A desire to dwell in a place to lose all pity desires, to miseries of this world.
A work to lose every materialistic opulence to your parallel delusions.
While living years in darkness born by ignorance.
When things seeming a circle and me running in it.
I don’t want to be stabbed again by illusions and fallibility.
O Supreme Lord! Hide me as I surrender in realm of your syllables.

Only the dvijas (the brähmaëas) and the devas (the demigods) can be delivered from material existence by the instructions of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Whatever is spoken by the Supreme Personality of Godhead is a mantra and is suitable for delivering the conditioned souls from mental speculation. The conditioned souls are engaged in a struggle for existence (manaù ñañöhänéndriyäëi prakåti-sthäni karñati [Bg. 15.7]). Deliverance from this struggle constitutes the highest benefit, but un
Create a temple in your home and teach your family, how to come together to chant. The family that prays together stays together. When we pray, the holy name is a prayer; it is the most powerful prayer of the heart. And individually, we should train our consciousness to be in connection to the holy name from chanting of Japa, individual meditation and through this process of purification, our home is Vaikuntha, our life is the life of the devotee of God. It is very simple. And there is absolutel
Q. Both in spiritual life and also in material life people speak of attitude. What should be the approach of a spiritual aspirants towards other spiritual aspirants and with materialists?
A. The answer to this can be found in a number of places, where qualifications of a madhyama adhikari are described. Amongst spiritual aspirants, there are those more advanced, those who are peers and those who are less advanced. In all cases, we should try to render service to thevaisnavas (devotees of the Lor
