Dear Prabhus,
Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

Yesterday an amazing thing happened while Gita Govinda was on Sankirtana.Ê I was out chanting with a mrdanga in my usual spot and my friends walked by with a donation box for the earthquake victims.Ê I called them over and dropped a 500 yen gold coin in their bucket and gave them a mantra card for their daughter. Gita also gave a small donation on Gaura P

The news editor and the producer of the channel arrived in Mayapur on 18th of March and stayed for 3 days with whole news crew.

Here are few quotes of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu – an unparalleled devotee of Sri Krishna

 While chanting the name of the Lord one should earn Divine wealth. The divine wealth to be earned are kindness, nonviolence, freedom from lust, truth, equality, equanimity, detachment, stability of mind, control over senses, seriousness, compassion, friendship, brilliance and tolerance.

 Men chanting the name of the Lord should be more tolerant than a tree and be humble enough to give honor to all else.

To kill Jayadratha in one day before the sun-set was an impossible task. So Krishna told Arjuna that he would employ some trick so that Jayadratha would see the sun-set and would come forward openly at which moment Arjuna should severe his head, unhesitatingly, without fear of the sun-set.

Mahabharat tells that Krishna employed "Yoga Maya". Yoga means combi- nation, Maya means illusion. Krishna combined Maya with a fact based on a natural phenomenon of Mirage.

Prabhupada: Why your dress is not as a sannyasi?

Tusta Krsna: The robes make people uncomfortable, Prabhupada. They see you as different and can't relate. They won't relax enough to listen when I wear robes.

Prabhupada: But sannyasis must dress in saffron with robes and shaven head.

Tusta Krsna: I am following all the principles, but the dress is external and superficial. Why should we let it hamper the preaching?

Prabhupada: If the dress is superficial, why should you change your dress to please pe

Hare krsna Prabhus,
Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

My wife Bhaktin Shannon and I were moving from our base in Arkansas to New Vrindavan. After a few hours of driving, we decided to take a break and take advantage of a local mall in the suburbs of St. Louis to distribute some books and Prasadam. It was 9pm. We noticed most of the people were milling around the Starbucks on the corner. We struck up a conversation with the two ladies behind the counter, mentionin

With Prabhupada's permission, the devotees scheduled him for the all-night Uncle Jay Show, a talk show on radio station WMEX. At 11:00 P.M. three devotees-Satsvarupa and Pradyumna, in suits and ties, and Jadurani in a sari-went on the air. Prabhupada was scheduled to join them at 3 o'clock.

"I have before me in the studio tonight," Uncle Jay began, "two nice young men and a young woman who have normal American names like Steve and Paul and Judy. And when you hear them speak, they sound like norm

"Sri Gauranga, Sri Nityananda, Sri Advaita, Sri Gadadhara and Srivasa are all on the same platform, but in spiritually distinguishing between them one should understand that Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu is the form of a devotee, Nityananda Prabhu appears in the form of a devotee's spiritual master, Advaita Prabhu is the form of a bhakta (devotee) incarnation, Gadadhara Prabhu is the energy of a bh
