This converse comes
Sri Vyasadeva says herein that the manifested internal potency is real,whereas the external manifested energy is in the form of material existence is only temporary and illusory like the mirage in the desert. In the desert mirage there is no actual water,there is only appearance of water. real water is somewhere else..

When we have to practice spiritual austerity to make spiritual advancement, when we have to sacrifice some so called material activities to which we are conditioned, then we must realize that in exchange for this there will be realization of spiritual happiness.

If you want to have a productive day of mobile phone use, you must make sure to fully charge your mobile phone's battery before you start your day. And if you want to also have a productive spiritually enlightening and fulfilling day, you need to make sure to charge your spiritual battery also with a deep, intense meditation session. There are many different meditation techniques, but in this hectic materialistic age there is only one technique that is sufficiently powerful to elevate your consc

Ask for what you want
It is astonishing what you can accomplish by simply asking for what you want – help, forgiveness, an idea, another chance, a break, or whatever. And not only can you get what you want by asking for it, but often the person you are asking will thank you for taking the initiative.
If it’s so obviously helpful and important to ask for what we want, why do so few of us do it? Once again, the answer is fear. We worry about the outcome. We’re afraid of rejection or a negative respo

Question: How Am I Different from Krishna? |
||||
If everyone is within Krishna, how can we be separate from Krishna? If Krishna is like the ocean, I am like a drop. So am I different from the ocean? |
||||
Answer: Just as Water Molecules are Distinct |
||||
Since Krishna is the complete whole and we are only tiny parts of the complete whole, Krishna can be compared to the ocean and we can be compared to the drops of water. The tiniest drop of water is a water molecule. The water molecule maintains its individuall |
One of the most significant breakthroughs in modern science has been the discovery of antimatter. Even though this discovery was made in 1959, it still remains now almost five decades later one of the greatest achievements of modern science. Of course the existence of antimatter is nothing new to those who are learned in the ancient Vedic science. The existence of both matter and antimatter is clearly described in the 5,000 years old Bhagavad-gita by Lord Krishna as follows:

No other business.
So the gopis' activities, they are the supreme platform of pure devotion. There is no other business, there is no other business. Gopis, they are not interested to know philosophically whether Krsna is God. Although they are seeing every step, Krsna is God. Mother Yasoda is that Krsna is God. Gopis also gopi-jana-vallabha giri-vara-dhari. Krsna is lifting the Govardhana Hill, who can do it except God? They are seeing it, still they do not know that Krsna is God.

I am encouraged to hear from you that Melbourne temple is even better than Sydney temple, so I must surely come there to see it. Go on like this, transcendental rivalry, just like San Francisco and Los Angeles. This pleases me very much. But it is not that we are envious! No, material envy is not like that. Even the gopis, they were envious of on

Srila Prabhupada sat in the tiny temple room, surrounded by his new disciples in front of the Deities of Sri Sri Radha Gopinatha. Srila Prabhupada had his reasons for bringing Radha and Krsna to Australia -- some of them apparent, others so deep that perhaps only he and Radha and Krsna could understand them.
Of course, he was always expanding his movement, of which Deity worship was an important part -- so that was one reason for bringing Radha and Krsna
A generous king once ruled in the land of Andhra. Every day two beggars used to come to him for alms and he always gave them food and money. On receiving the alms one of them, the older one, used to say: "God provides." The other beggar, the younger of the two, would say: "Our king provides." One day the king gave them more money than usual, whereupon the older man cried out lustily: "God provides." This annoyed the king who thought: "It is I who am feeding him and he keeps saying: 'God provides
Of course, with this mind you cannot understand.
You cannot think of Krsna.
With this tongue you cannot chant Hare Krsna.
With these ears you cannot hear what is Hare Krsna.
With these eyes you cannot see what is Krsna.
But if you purify...
Just like cataractic eyes cannot see, but if you purify the eyes, then you can see everything.
The eyes will remain as it is, but you have to purify.
The process is purification.
Sevonmukhe hi jihvadau.
That purification takes place when you engage yourself i
