Hare Krishna....
I have received so many response to my Blog "How Dhuki became Sukhi" that Lord Krishna should make everyone Sukhi.
My appeal to all Vaishnavas is that our attitude should be that of QUEEN QUNTI,we should always wish that we be in troubles / problems because, only when we have troubles and problems, we will think about KRISHNA, and INDIRECTLY, WHENEVER WE THINK ABOUT KRISHNA, DEFINITELY, THERE WILL NOT BE ANY PROBLEMS / TROUBLES.
SO, OUR ATTITUDE SHOULD ALWAYS BE TO REMEMBER KRIS
We can become eternal, immortal, all qualified like God, if we get out of these material clutches. And for this, we have to become dhira. Dhira means, I have already explained, not to be disturbed, even the cause of disturbance is there. So that is the qualification of becoming immortal. So little tolerance of the sensation... Just like there is some sensation. If you have got some itches and you are feeling that "I should itch," but if you stop itching, this will be cured, and if you go on
As Jesus Christ said, “We are in this world but not of this world.” To be in this world, but not of this world means the spiritual conception of life. We are above; we are transcendental to all the miseries, which are inevitable in this world. Such a spiritual person alone can actually create peace on Earth. Because he or she can enliven and illuminate others to get out of this world by being transcendental to the repetition of birth and death. So, as spiritualists, as devotees of God, our praye
Human form of life is meant for real satisfaction, which comes through self-realization that comes from the purification of the heart. But people, today, consider that this is impractical, unrealistic. This is the most unfortunate condition, the cause of all problems. It is practical, to destroy the water, to destroy the air, to destroy the ground with pollution, nuclear waste—it’s very realistic, is it not? It is very realistic and practical to be so frustrated in material endeavors, to fill yo
Dukhi was a simple poor maid servant, she was not educated but she was in the association of Srivas Thakur.
By Srivas's association, she developed a sincere desire to serve everyone and to please the Lord. While all the senior devotees were bathing the Lord, Dukhi would arrange water pots from Ganges. She would ensure that there is water available for the service. She was not expecting any honor, she just wanted to serve unconditionally and the Lord was very pleased with here service attitu

There Are Too Few Like You
Dear Purnacandra Goswami,
Please accept my most humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
It was with great sorrow that I heard about your sudden departure from this world. Although we regularly hear about these things in sastra and are constantly preparing ourselves for such inevitable events, somehow when they actually happen we seem totally unprepared. And so it is that I can

"A person interested in transcendental knowledge must therefore always directly and indirectly inquire about it to know the all-pervading truth."
One should understand, through the transparent medium of the spiritual master, that the Supreme Lord exists everywhere in His transcendental spiritual nature and that the living entities' relationships with the Lord are directly and indirectly existing everywhere, even in this material world. In the spiritual world ther
This material world is a place of darkness. In darkness there isalways fear. Violence, hatred, envy, greed, lust and illusion—these arethe forces of darkness which control this world. This darkness ispropitiated through the two processes of cruel and hypocrisy.
In the name of religion, people are exploiting others for their personal motives. In the name of peace and love,
there is violence and hatred. This is called hypocrisy. Whenhypocrisy is present within our material dealings, it creates impi
Everyone tries to claim as their own what belongs to God. Therefore, there is so much miseryand suffering. Because trying to claim somebody else’s property as ourown is sinful. It creates bad karma. When people take something theyare not supposed to take, they become attached to it; they becomeaddicted to it and so passionate for it that they cannot live withoutit. They commit so many sins to keep it or to get it. And that is whythere is so much crime, illicit sex, and violence.

Why we read the Bhagavat Geeta, even if we can't understand it?
An old farmer lived on a farm in the mountains with his young grandson. Each morning, Grandpa was up early sitting at the kitchen table reading his Bhagavat Geeta.
His grandson wanted to be just like him and tried to imitate him in every way he could.
One day the grandson asked, "Grandpa! I try to read the Bhagawat Geeta just like you but I don't understand it, and what I do understand, I forget as soon as I close the book. What goo
