It’s our tradition, or it’s an essential part of the program to chant the maha-mantra. … The whole idea is to chant the maha-mantra for some time before we attempt to make a serious or meaningful presentation in terms of knowledge. The example is just like at the beginning of the class – at least when I was a little boy – the teacher wiped the whole slate clean, and then we were ready for a new day. So it’s like that. It’s meant to kind of clear your mind and make it more receptive and attentive
"My dear gopis, what auspicious activities must the flute have performed to enjoy the nectar of Krishna's lips independently and leave only a taste for the gopis for whom that nectar is actually meant. [CC. Antya. 16.140]
"'Although the nectar of Krishn's lips is the absolute property of the gopis, the flute, which is just an insignificant stick, is forcibly drinking that nectar and loudly inviting the gopis to come drink it also. Just imagine the strength of the flute's austerities and good fort
Meri zindgi ka sarmaya hai tu
nas nas me meri samaya hai tu
tane muje fir kyu deti hai duniya
jab hirday me mere smaya hai tu?
tere naam ka teeka jo karu to
kehte hai sab kyu dikhava isey
jo simru jo mala mai tere naam
kehte hai pakhand karti hu mai
tuje apne dil me basaya hai maine
jivah pe tera naam hai ram gaya
bta kaise mai teri lagan chor du?
kaise mai karna bhajan chor du?
tumhi ne sanwara hai hasti ko meri
tumhi se bani meri pehchan hai
dar ka jo tere mujhko sahara na hota
duniya me koe mera

"So far your thinking about things and making so many plans, that is all right, but our first business is Krishna's plan. That is the only plan, and no matter how many schemes we employ to adjust things in this material world, if they have no solid basis in Krishna's plan, they remain merely dreams of phantasmagoria. So in this Krishna Consciousness Movement, I am training boys and girls all over the world how to act nicely by practically serving Krishna
There are many persons who envy Krsna because He has explained in Bhagavad-gita that He is the Supreme and that nothing is above Him or equal to Him. There are many persons who are envious of Krsna. Such persons should not be told of Bhagavad-gita, for they cannot understand. There is no possibility of faithless persons' understanding Bhagavad-gita and Krsna.
>>> Ref. VedaBase => Bg 18.67
In the material world, everyone is envious of everyone else, and therefore there is competition. But the tran
 The holy name, character, pastimes and activities of Krsna are all transcendentally sweet like sugar candy. Although the tongue of one afflicted by the jaundice of avidya (ignorance) cannot taste anything sweet, it is wonderful that simply by carefully chanting these sweet names every day, a natural relish awakens within his tongue, and his disease is gradually destroyed at the root.Upadesamrta  |

guna-atmakani -- attached to the qualities; indriyani -- the senses; bhuta-adi -- material ego; prabhavah -- influenced by; gunah -- the modes of material nature; manah -- the mind; sarva -- all; vikara -- affection (happiness and distress); atma -- form; buddhih -- intelligence; vijnana -- deliberation; rupini -- featuring.
All glories to Sri Guru and Gauranga.
Hare Krishna to all devotees.

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..
This converse is tricky one as i feel...
Does that
We are doing 12 hours Harinam Sankirtan at Giri Govardhan Dham VOICE(GGD) for first time in the history of VOICE and celebrating FAREWELL festival by tomorrow. This is invitation for all of you. please come and take part in sankirtan.
GGD VOICE was inaugurated by HH Radhanath Swami Maharaj in 1999. The location exactly looks like Giri Govardhan Hill, this is the reason why Maharaj gave this name.
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
Love affairs in the material world are only shadows or reflections of the real love with Krishna. If you love Krishna in any capacity, you shall never be frustrated because everything in Krishna is perfect, eternal, blissful, and full of knowledge

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. Krsna is wond
