So love of Krsna is not an easy thing obtainable, but Caitanya Mahaprabhu distributed this love of Krsna to anyone, to everyone, even to Jagai and Madhai. So Narottama dasa Thakura therefore has sung in his song, papi tapi jata chilo, hari-name uddharilo, tara saksi jagai madhai. Caitanya Mahaprabhu is so magnanimous that He delivered all kinds of sinful men. Jata chilo. And simply allowing them to chant Hare Krsna mantra, delivered. Tara saksi jagai madhai.Now, at that time, there was two Jaga
Montreal temple, established now for a year and a half, occupied a former bowling alley on the third floor of a building near McGill University. Although the gutters on either side of the eight bowling lanes had been filled in with wood, thus creating a smooth, level floor, the eight hardwood lanes were still prominent. An altar and vyasasana stood against one wall, and a temporary wall partitioned off the men's quarters. There was also a kitchen and separate quarters for the women. With diffi
Question: Form or Formlessness in Goloka? |

I have question that came up during a discussion with a colleague. We were discussing the fact that the body is temporary, but the soul is eternal. My colleague asked me if the soul is formless, and I said, "Yes, it is, because the body it is associated with is temporary." He asked if formlessness is a quality of the soul, and by extension, if the Supreme Soul should also not possess the same property of formlessness? I explained that in our system we wor |

Introduction
Hare Krishna,
First up, here is a fact based on authentic statistics & reports – “The number of children attending primary school in the Indian education system makes it the second largest education system in the world next only to China.”
Dr J. Larry Brown, Tufts University, had once said “By subjecting children to hunger, we rob them of their God-given potential. We then deliver them to the schools with one arm tied behind their backs and expect teachers to perform an often-impossi
Prasadam distribution happens at many different levels, from Food For Life programs to handing out sweet balls on Harinam. When doing prasadam distribution on Harinam, be sure to distribute foodstuffs that are easy to handle. Don't hand people messy or sticky sweets that they'll get on their clothing, or preparations with turmeric that will stain their clothes. It's better to stick to things like laddus or sesame sweets.

Like the kirtana party, those who are engaged in preaching, distributing books and prasadam should understand the art of doing this kind of preaching. They should not get hung up or absorbed in one person, regardless of how receptive that person may appear to be. When street preaching, try not to be too obstructive to people who are passing by. With practice, you can develop the art of catching people's eye, letting them stop without feeling they've been corralled or waylaid by a trick.
