सुना है इस दुनिया से दूर
एक अलग दुनिया है तेरी
जहाँ न दुःख है न आँसू है
खुशियों से भरी दुनिया है तेरी

तेरी दुनिया इतनी खूबसूरत है
तो हम उससे इतने दूर क्यों हैं
तू आनंद का सागर
फिर हम इतने मजबूर क्यों हैं

मुझे पता है इसका जवाब
ये गलती भी हमने की है.
हम उसके भी काबिल नही
जितनी कान्हा ने दी है.

हमें थी चाहत एक
अलग दुनिया बनाने की
हमें हुई थी तमन्ना
बाप से अलग घर बसाने की.

औकात नही थी पर
चले थी अलग एक हस्ती बनाने को
पता ही नही था कि
माया खड़ी है हमारी हस्ती मिटाने को

खा-खा के माया के थपेड़े
जर्जर हो गया है ये दिल
अब तो द

निर्मल नशा है तेरा नाम प्रभु

जो भक्त के सिर चढ बोले

कभी प्रेम में वो नाचे-गाये तो

कभी विरह में वो रो ले.


नाम में ही उन्हें प्रभु

दर्शन दे जाते हैं

नाम से जिह्वा पे

प्रभु को वो नचाते हैं.


बातें होती हो उनकी

ऐसा होता है कोई दिन

प्रभु और उनका नाम एक ही

नाम से कहाँ हैं प्रभु भिन्न


नाम है शुरुआत भक्ति की

और नाम पे ही है अंत

नाम ही दिखलाता है प्रभु का

धाम,रूप और लीलाएं अनंत


नाम से प्रेम भक्त को

प्रभु प्रेम तक ले जाए

क्योंकि कलयुग में प्रभु

नाम रूप में ही हैं आये.


चढ जाए तो उतरे नही

ऐसा नशा ये नाम का है

आँखों में जो बस

O Devi Radhika! Being enthralled like two intoxicated elephants, You and Sri Krsna constantly delight in amorous pastimes in the pleasure-groves of Sri Vrndavana. Therefore, O Gandharvika, please be kind and mercifully grant me the darsana of Your two lotuslike faces.

Is Krishna a Hindu Diety


Krishna is the Supreme Personality of Godhead. God is neither Hindu nor muslim nor christian--He is God.

Not should people be considered Hindu , Muslim or Christian. These are all designations of the body, not the soul.

All scriptures from all countries aim at the same goal : to go bace to godhead, the kingdom of God.

If one thinks that Bhagavad Gita and Hare Krishna are part of the Hindu system, and doesn"t want to accept them, he can attend the Christian church and sing there.

Sri Radhe-Krsna's playful pastimes (vihara)

Sri Radhe-Krsna's playful pastimes (vihara) - Paitha grama

image012.jpg?width=721



When Sri Krsna disappeared from the springtime rasa, the grief-stricken gopis began searching for Him everywhere. Krsna assumed a four-armed form at Paitha grama, but when the gopis saw this form, they simply offered obeisances and continued on their way. Srimatiji, restless in seperation from Krsna, finally arrived there. When Sri Krsna saw Srimatiji He was unable to maintain His four-armed form, and the two arms entered His body (paitha

हर क्षण प्रभु की कृपा बरस रही है
कोई आनंद से सराबोर हो रहा है.
तो कोई माया की छतरी लिए
अभी भी कही किसी ओट में खडा है.

हर एक पर कृपा है प्रभु की
नही मिली तो ये हमारी कृपणता है.
उनकी कृपा का बादल तो कभी
कोई घर देख कर नही बरसता है.

कण-कण में भगवान हैं
बस महसूस करने की बात है.
मूँद रखी हैं हमने आँखें
और कहते हैं कि रात है.

कमी है हमारे ही अंदर और
हम दोष उनपे लगा जाते हैं.
हाथें हमने खींच रखी है और
कहते वो हाथ नही मिलाते हैं.

वो तो कब से हैं बेचैन कि
कब जायेंगे हम उनके पास.
हमने खो दी है उन पर से श्रद्धा
पर उन्होंने छो

लीलाधर की लीला

समझ पाना बड़ा मुश्किल है.

समझना है उनको गर तो

दे दो उनको ये जो दिल है.


ध्यान से भी समझ न आये

ज्ञान से भी परे हैं वो.

उसको ही वो दरस दिखाते

भक्ति से उनको भजता है जो.


आँसू से जिसने चरण पखारे

विरह वेदना से किया श्रृंगार.

फिर कहाँ रुक पाते पाँव प्रभु के

दौड़े आते हैं वो भक्त के द्वार.


खट्टा - मीठा, कड़वा - नमकीन

व्यंजन से नही है उनको सरोकार.

बस भाव के ही तो भूखे हैं कृष्णा

बस परसों उनको अपना प्यार .


चंचल चितवन,मोहिनी सूरत

अधर पे नाचे वंशी की तान .

मुस्कान उनकी सुन्दर है इतनी

कि बसते उसमे भक्त के प्राण.

(The Nectar Moon of Sri Radha's Sweetness)

1. May Sri Radha, by taking shelter of whom they who yearn to become Krsna's gopi friends attain their goal, by worshipping whom one attains the supreme perfection, whose holy name is the vine-crown adorning the Upanisads, and who with many festivals of deep love worships the boy who is the jewel of Vraja, be pleased with me.

Waking Deities (Home Worship)

The following procedure assumes the deities are in beds. If they are not sleeping in beds then skip the part of the procedure that asks you to take the Lord out of bed and while touching the deity’s lotus feet chant the prayers for waking. You may chant the prayes in English, or your own language, if you do not want to chant the Sanskrit prayers.
If you are worshiping Gaura-Nitai deities then first wake your spiritual master then Gaura-Nitai.

THE PEACE FORMULA

2514626089?profile=original

   Everyone wants peace and happiness. This is not obtainable materially. If we study history we will not find a single man who has obtained this goal through material means. Unfortunately , we refuse to learn from history, and we obstinately think that this elusive peace will be ours one day. A fish out of the water will never be happy , regardless of the amenities that it is given to enjoy-- furniture, clothes , television etc. Similarly the soul when it is not acting in its constitutional pos

The mercy of Lord Nrisimhadeva at Mayapur is famous and I have an interesting story in brief.

I know a couple Ashok Ghosh and his wife Shila Ghosh from Kolkata, who married twelve years ago. Four years before when I met them, they shared their worries with me. Like other childless couples, who undertake treatments or throw faith in magical amulets, this young couple too were attracted to artificial means to have a baby. Incidentally, I suggested them to take shelter of Jagrata Nrsiimhadeve at ISK

On Speaking Strongly in Srila Prabhupada's Service

Referring to a Godbrother (of his) who was telling our devotees not to say controversial things in public, Srila Prabhupada dismissed him in strong terms as a self-interested person who was simply after some following. (From "Transcendental Diary" Vol. 2 pps. 15-16)

As we have seen, Srila Prabhupada did not always extend unnecessary politeness to rascals. From the incident with the hippie in Delhi, it is clear that Srila Prabhupada did not always

On Speaking Strongly in Srila Prabhupada's Service

We say plainly, You are all rascals. That's all. You have no discrimination. Anyone who does not believe as it is, he's a rascal. That's all. He may be happy or sorry. You don't mind. You don't make compromise. 750323ar.may

Along with teaching the Vedic knowledge and spreading the Lords holy names, ISKCON also very freely distributes spiritual food through out the world. In the same way that the philosophy and canting is done for Krsna, Vegetarian food has first been offered to the Lord, this purifies the heart and the mind.

This helps us in the gradual process of uncovering one’s original awareness of God. ISKCON’s distribution of spirtualized food (Prasadam) though out the world is therefore known as

The Purpose of ISKCON

Krsna consciousness is more than another sectarian faith. It is a technical science of spiritual values that is described and recommended in the ancient Vedic scriptures from ancient India. The aim of the Krsna consciousness movement is to reveal to the people of the world, the principles of God and in turn Self- realization so that they may derive the highest benefits of spiritual understanding, unity and peace.

The Vedas recommend that in the present age the most effective means of achieving s
