On February 6, 1874, in the sacred pilgrimage town
By Nandlal
Anyone who wishes to acknowledge the simple truth that "I am Lord Krishna's servant" can wear tilaka, the clay mark devotees wear on the forehead and other places on their body. You may not feel you have much devotion to Krishna, but you're not prohibited from wearing tilaka, because it's a sign that you're trying to be His devotee. What's more, the qualifications for being Krishna's devotee soon develop in a person who learns the art of wearing tilaka.

While traveling in British Columbia last week, visiting Saranagati and attending the Ratha Yatra, we heard a most inspiring story at the Vancouver Temple.

It was there that he met and married a Canadian devotee, Rudrani devi dasi. Due to her preaching, he became a devotee and Gaudiya Vai

The Lotus Feet and Hands
of Lords Nityananda Gauranga
Each of the most Auspicious Marks on the Lotus Feet and Hands of Their Supreme Lordships Shri Shri Nityananda Gauranga have unlimited transcendental meanings associated with them and these should be the object of our meditation when we chant the Nityananda and Gauranga Mantrarajas and the Hare Krishna Mahamantra. Thus this webpage will be a very important tool for increasing the intensity and depth of our concentration during Mantra Meditatio
Hare Krishna,
By A.C.Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, Back to Godhead Magazine #15,1967
It has often been argued whether truth and beauty are terms compatible with one another. One would agree willingly, some say, to express the truth, but since truth is not always beautiful—indeed it is frequently rather startling and unpleasant—how is one to express truth and beauty at the same time?
In reply to this we may inform all concerned that Truth and Beauty are indeed compatible terms.
word that you are saying to us now? Because I myself, I forget so
much. I want to hear just how you are talking and I can't.
Prabhupada: What is that? I don't follow.
Tamala Krsna: I want to be able to hear you saying exactly what you're
saying now. I want to always be able to hear it, but I forget. My
memory is very poor.
Prabhupada: Why? No. If we try... Memory may be poor. Everything
depends on cultivation. If you cultivate somethi

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
One should become an unalloyed devotee of the Personality of Godhead, Sri Krsna, and serve Him with rapt attention.
The servants of God come to propagate God consciousness, and intelligent people should cooperate with them in every respect. By serving the servant of God, one can please God more than by directly serving the Lord. The Lord is more pleased when He sees that His servants are properly respected because such servants risk everything for the service of the Lord and so are very dear to t

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

So we have gathered here, this is basically called ista-gosti. Gost means sound, ista means the worshippable lord of our heart. I didn’t plan any lecture. If you have any questions on any topic related to sambandha or abhideya or prayojana of Krsna consciousness you can ask.
(The question is) When we were in Russia we used to fast and now we have come to Vrndavan, so someone said we don’t have to fast.
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 |
