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

जो सेवक के सेवक बन जाते हैं .

लक्ष्मी जिनके पैर दबाये वो प्रभु

कैसे पार्थसारथी भी कहलाते हैं.


जो जितनी उनकी सेवा करता

वो उतना ही सुकून पाता है.

वो प्रतिक्षण उनका गान करता

भौतिक बंधन से छूट जाता है.


ये माया ही तो बंधन है

प्रभु का सानिध्य है आजादी

प्रभु के बिना माया को पार पाना

ये तो है बस वक्त की ब

THE APPEARANCE OF TULASI DEVI

Narada Muni asked Lord Narayana, "O Bhagavan! How did the pure, chaste Tulasi Devi become Your wife? Where was she born? Who was she in her previous birth? What family did she come from?

who belonged to a Telugu family, was one of the foremost followers of Bhakthi
Marga and established his philosophy of Pushti Marga in North
India during the 16th century. His Bhakthi was much more than

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:

urdhva-mulam adhah-sakham

asvattham prahur avyayam

chandamsi yasya parnani

yas tam veda sa veda-vit

Here the material world is described as a tree whose roots are upwards and branches are below.

Understanding the verse 15.1

We have experience of a tree whose roots are upward: if one stands on the bank of a river or any reservoir of water, he c

TRANSLATION

Thus I have explained to you the most confidential of all knowledge. Deliberate on this fully, and then do what you wish to do.

PURPORT

The Lord has already explained to Arjuna the knowledge of brahmabhūta. One who is in the brahma-bhūta condition is joyful; he never laments, nor does he desire anything. That is due to confidential knowledge. Kṛṣṇa also discloses knowledge of the Supersoul. This is also Brahman knowledge, knowledge of Brahman, but it is superior

Krsna Consciousness Grantees Human Body in next life

The rasas derived from our feelings in social life, in family life or in the greater family life of altruism, philanthropy, nationalism, socialism, communism, etc., do not guarantee that one's next life will be as a human being. We prepare our next life by our actual activities in the present life. A living entity is offered a particular type of body as a result of his action in the present body. These activities are taken into account by a sup

Today during his massage Srila Prabhupada listened to one of his own song tapes. The melodious strains of the harmonium caused him to smile. He recalled that as a young man his friend's sister had wanted to marry him because of his expertise at playing the harmonium.

Srila Prabhupada came down into the kitchen today to talk with Nandarani about her efforts to conserve vegetables by bottling and freezing them. I had expressed concern to her when I heard she was doing this because of wh

sleeping and awake!

Lord Sri Krishna says, "My dear Arjuna, there are different classes of men. One class of men, they are sleeping. And another class of men, they are awake. They are not sleeping." And how is this so? This chanting, which we have performed just now, is the wakening process for the sleeping soul. The soul is sleeping, covered by this material body. These bodily activities are in the sleeping stage. Just as we see dreams in the sleeping stage, similarly, all these bodily activities are dreams. Just
