Hare Krishna Prabhujis and Matajis,
Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada, Sri Guru and Gauranga.
I received this inspirational story recently and would like to explain a little bit with some of the relevant instructions from Srimad Bhagavatam.
When Yudhishtira Maharaj was ruling this planet, Bhima used to help in solving problems of people, hence people whoever has any questions/problems would come to Bhima and ask him for help. One day, one citizen came and told Bh

Dear devotees, it is almost a month passed since Harinam tour finished so now we would like to come out with some interesting data and make conclusions. This year we had the largest and "craziest" Harinam tour so far. Such a venture in this area no one has even tried to do and we also thought at the beginning that we started „to bite too much of a cake“, but somehow we all managed with Krishna's grace ...

Just before he took rest at 11:15 p.m. it began to pour with rain. Watching from his window as the heavens opened up, Prabhupada smiled contentedly and said it was an auspicious sign that everything had been a success.
It was difficult for him to rest, however, because of the noise coming from the huge crow

Introduction
In this material world, in order to maintain the body one has to work. Human society is divided, according to work, into four divisions of social order -- brahmana, ksatriya, vaisya and sudra. The brahmana class or intelligent class is working in one way, the ksatriya or administrative class is working in another way, and the mercantile class and the laborers are all tending to their specific duties.

Wonderful Krsna
1. The cowherd men were astonished when they saw Krsna’s activities, such as lifting Govardhana Hill. Unable to understand His transcendental potency, they approached Nanda Maharaja and spoke as follows.
2. [The cowherd men said:] Since this boy performs such extraordinary activities, how could He warrant a birth among worldly men like us—a birth that for Him would seem contemptible?
3. How could this seven-year-old b

In order to learn how Krsna's pleasure can be obtained, we must
read the Tenth Canto of Srimad-Bhagavatam in which Krsna's pleasure
potency is displayed in His pastimes with Radharani and the damsels of
Vraja. Unfortunately, unintelligent people turn at once to the sports of
Krsna in the Dasama-skandha, the Tenth Canto. Krsna's embracing
Radharani or His dancing with the cowherd girls in the rasa dance are
generally not understood by ordinary men because they consider these
pastimes in the light of mun

Wherever there are discussions on mundane topics, pains and pleasures, may I restrain myself from going there. Let the rememberance of Your lotus feet decorate my heart. May I properly chant Your transcendental qualities unceasingly in the society of devotees.(1)

"May that Srimati Radhika--whose bodily complexion snatches away the pride of a golden lotus flower tinged with kunkuma, whose bodily fragrance reproaches the fame of a fragrant lotus sprinkled with saffron powder, and who fulfills all the desires of the prince of Vraja, Sri Krishna--always bestow upon me the service of Her lotus feet.

One day, when Sri Krsna was out grazing the cows with His akhas, nearby in a field, green chickpea plants were growing. Upon seeing them, Sri Krsna together with His Sakhas broke off some plants. The woman taking care of the field came to know of this and ran to catch them, but Kanhaiya was too swift. Keeping the plants under His arm, He ran very fast through crooked paths and finally came to a stop in Gahvaravana, where He roasted the gre
