Prabhupada: (chants mangalacarana prayers) So ladies and gentlemen, I thank you very much for your kindly participating in our, this Krsna consciousness movement. As you know, from the very name, "Krsna consciousness,"... When this society was registered in 1966 in New York, some friend suggested that the society may be named as "God consciousness." Krsna, they thought that Krsna... In the dictionary also, it is said, "Krsna is a Hindu god's name." In English dictionary. But actually, if there i
“My dear sir, Krishna’s form was most wonderful when He appeared on this planet and exhibited the potency of His internal energy. His wonderfully attractive form was present during His pastimes on this planet, and by His internal potency He exhibited His opulences, which are striking to everyone. His personal beauty was so great that there was no necessity for His wearing ornaments on His body. In fact, instead of the ornaments’ beautifying Krishna, Krishna’s beauty enhanced the ornaments.” (Ud
Once upon a time a prince met very beautiful young girl. He visited her house to see her but she was very chaste. The prince wanted to marry this beautiful girl but she didn’t want to marry him. So she said to him, You want to marry me, you are attracted by my beauty, so I will distill my beauty in the next ten days, I will distill my beauty into
So the prince agreed. Then the beautiful girl said, “If you still want to take me as your wife then you can take me.” The prince replied, “All right, th

I know one thing that i will let my mind drive my fingers on the keys and some words will come out. But what words will come out even i dont know.

SRI TULASI KIRTAN
An illustrated Vaisnava song which include a translation on-screen.
O Tulasi, beloved of Krishna, I bow before you again and again. My desire is to obtain the service of Sri Sri Radha Krishna.  Whoever takes shelter of you has his wishes fulfilled. Bestowing your mercy on him, you make him a resident of Vrindavana.  My desire is that you will also grant me a residence in the pleasure groves of Sri Vrindavana-dhama. Thus within my vision I will always beh |
An illustrated Vaisnava song which include a translation on-screen.
 O mind, just worship the lotus feet of the son of Nanda, which makes one fearless. Having obtained this rare human birth, crossover the ocean of worldly existence through the association of saintly persons.  Both in the day and at night I remain sleepless, suffering the pains of the heat and cold, the wind and the rain. For a fraction of flickering happiness I hav |
 What do you think of death? I don't think about it, doesn't even enter my mind. It's natural, you're born, grow, and die. The important thing is to do good and not sin. That is difficult for me to explain. It is destined to come to all at some time, some sooner, some later, but it is destined to come at a certain moment in time for all. We always hope for later. It is sad but we must smile. The only one who doesn't die is the Lord. Sometimes it seems unjust, but we must smile. Nothing. You just don't |
Death. Mans most, relentless, inevitable and mysterious adversary.
Does death mean the end of life, or does it merely open the door to another life, another dimension, another world?
Or another death?
The succession of birth and death is viewed as an endless continuity, an eternal wheel rolling on forever. Only time stands between one face and another.
All major western religions have definite threads of reincarnation throughout the fabric of their teachings.
The first Law of thermodynamics states thPrabhupada: Do you know what is the meaning of Krishna?
Ananda-marga woman: I believe Krishna was one form of God. You said something about extension of Krishna. It’s the same.
Prabhupada: Krishna means “the all-attractive.” As you say that God is so beautiful, so that is, in other words, all-attractive. So if you have realized God, then you have become perfect.
Ananda-marga woman: No.
Prabhupada: No?
Ananda-marga woman: Whenever I realize God I receive it through my mind and not perfect. But if I me
Krishna is God, the Supreme Personality of Godhead. He is the original and primeval person who is simultaneously expanded everywhere throughout existence and yet is still situated in His eternal abode in His original, transcendental form. He is the all-powerful, all-knowing, and all-merciful being. He is the chief eternal living entity amongst all eternal living entities who are His parts. He is responsible for fulfilling all the desires of the subordinate living entities since time immemorial.

LORD NITYANANDA PRABHU
Lord Nityananda is the eternal associate of Caitanya Mahaprabhu, the Supreme
Personality of Godhead. Rarely is the name Nimai (Caitanya Mahaprabhu) taken
without that of Nitai (Lord Nityananda). Mahaprabhu cannot be approached or
understood without the mercy of Nityananda Prabhu, who is the cardinal guru
of all the universes and serves as an intermediary between Mahaprabhu and
His devotees. He is the Lord's active principle in both creation and lila.

Indian literary history, warned that in literary terms, India is on the verge of becoming a country as brand-new as America. He gave the keynote speech opening the Jaipur Literature Festival Friday morning. 'It is now entirely gitimate to ask, if dismaying and disturbing, if within two generations there will be anyone in India who will have the capacity of reading Indian literature produced before 1800,' he said. 'I have a feeling that that
One thing Prabhupada liked about California was that it was easy for him to obtain eucalyptus twigs there. Prabhupada used them for brushing his teeth in the morning. He liked them cut the thickness of the little finger and about six inches long, and they were soaked in water overnight before he used them. At this time Krsnadasa was going out in the morning to pick them. He would keep a good supply wrapped up in tin foil in the refrigerator. Hearing that eucalyptus trees were uncommon in Americ
Thinking there might be some significance to his dream, I asked him what dreams were.
Prabhupada replied in a general way, saying that they are impressions stored within the mind, not just
