आजाद होना है तो हमें तो
कृष्णा का दास बनना होगा
क्योंकि वो हैं ही एक मात्र स्वतंत्र
उनसे ही हमें जुडना होगा.
उनका दास बनना
इस जगत की तरह नही
ये तो ऐसी ऊँची पदवी है
जैसे यहाँ मालिक की भी नही.
हमारे कन्हैया तो ऐसे मालिक है

प्रभु के बिना माया को पार पाना
ये तो है बस वक्त की ब

MADHURASHTAKAM
(Excerpts from Sri Gopala-Tapani Upanishad)
Om namah. I offer my respectful obeisances to Sri Krishna, whose form is eternal and full of knowledge and bliss, who is the rescuer from distress, who is understood by Vedanta, who is the supreme spiritual master, and who is the witness in everyone's heart.
"Krishna means He who delivers from sin, Govinda means He who is famous on the earth, in the Vedas, and among the surabhi cows and Gopijanavallabha means He who enchants the

Introduction - The Real nature of material world
In the Fifteenth Chapter of the Bhagavad-gita, the real picture of the material world is given. It is said there:
