Referring to the Indian government's program of enforced sterilization being imposed on the general population, Prabhupada said, "Now they're making propaganda for sterilization. And if we advise make a brahmacari-asrama from the beginning, they will not take. 'What is this nonsense, brahmacari?'"
Aksayananda wondered why they reject the idea. "Is it because they cannot do it?"
Prabhupada said they can do it if they want. 'Just like by training you have given up so many things. You we

Story of Lord Krishna - SRIMAD BHAGAVATA by Krsna-Dwaipayana Vyasa
Akrura’s Vision
1. Having been honored so much by Lord Balarama and Lord Krsna, Akrura, seated comfortably on a couch, felt that all the desires he had contemplated on the road were now fulfilled.
2. What is unattainable for one who has satisfied the Supreme Personality of Godhead, the shelter of the goddess of fortune? Even so, those who are dedicated to His devotional service never want anything from Him.
3. After the evening meal,

The girls' ashram at Bhaktivedanta College in Radhadesh is a unique place, where nineteen girls from fourteen countries live, study, and serve together. The college is a place of endless adventures and wonderful spiritual friendships.

Devotee (3): Srila Prabhupada, when we are preaching to Christian people or to Muslim people, is there advantage in being familiar with their scriptures or simply Bhagavad-gita, Srimad-Bhagavatam?
Prabhupada: We are not preaching to Christian or Hindu or Muslim. We are preaching to human being. We do not see, "Here is a Christian. Here is a Muslim. Here is a Hindu. Here is a white man. Here is a black man." No. Every living being, his duty is to understand God. This is our preaching. This is our

Tripurari: Yes Srila Prabhupada.
Prabhupada: Who?
Tripurari: Fools and rascals who won't take your books. Sometimes we convince them that the philosophy is very nice, and they agree when we use Lord Krsna's words, dehino 'smin yatha dehe [Bg. 2.13], and they say "Yes, I can understand that, but I don't need your book," or"I would never read it." We say, "Well, no. Take it."

The nature is so kind that in whichever way you want to enjoy this material world, she will give you a suitable body under the direction of the Lord. Because Lord is situated everyone's heart. So He knows everything, that you still want something material. He will give you. "Yes, you take it." Krsna wants that you get full experience that by material gain, you'll never be happy. This is Krsna's business. It's full freedom. Although we have got minute quantity of freedoBut how to achieve this state? How can

Question: Can I Be Srila Prabhupada's Disciple?

For a long moment Isvaracandra said nothing. He seemed to have no real reason. Finally, he said that he wanted to take care of his family.
Prabhupada continued to pierce through his consciousness. "So how you can take care with nothing? Krsna makes you nothing, then how you can take care of your family? These things I have

Letter to: Bali-mardana, New York
My dear Bali Mardan,

Regarding that building on 40th Street, try to get it as much as possible, but if business of getting this building appears too much difficult or complicated, then give it up. If you like, if this place is not possible, you may try for another similar place. I have received one telephone call this morning from K
One day, Sri Radha and Her sakhis were picking flowers here when Krsna suddenly arrived and said,"Who are you? Everyday, you steal floweres from My garden."
Hearing this, Srimati Radhika rebuked Him,"You don't know who I am?".
Saying no more, Krsna placed His flute to His lips and began to play, casting charming glances at Radha as He walked away. The very sight of Krsna leaving greatly distressed Radha, who fainted in seperation from Him
A Book Marathon Message By Giriraj Swami (From a talk on January 11, 2010, Kiev, Ukraine)

"In the age of Kali, intelligent persons perform congregational chanting to worship the incarnation of Godhead who constantly sings the names of Krsna. Although His complexion is not blackish, He is Krsna Himself. He is accompanied by His associates, servants, weapons, and confidential companions." (SB 11.5.32)

When one has developed a real taste for chanting, then a single utterance of the holy name can eradicate all previous sins. Some vestiges of sinful reaction may still remain in a particular individual, but these also are gradually removed by the process of chanting.

Hare Krishna Friends,
A little boy got angry with his mother and shouted at her, "I hate you, I hate you." Because of fear of reprimand, he ran out of the house. He went up to the valley and shouted, "I hate you, I hate you," and the echo returned, "I hate you, I hate you." Having never heard an echo before, he was scared, and ran to his mother for protection. He said there was a bad boy in the valley who shouted "I hate you, I hate you" The mother understood and she asked her son to go back and |

Hare Krishna Prabhujis and Mathajis,
Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada and Srila Gurudev.
It is very important in spiritual life that we should not be misdirected especially stray away from spiritual master's instructions. The basic tendency of the conditioned soul is to enjoy and have sense gratification which we have already experienced for so many lives. As our beloved spiritual master HH Mahavishnu Goswami Maharaj says, Although we have gone atleast once throu
