One day, Kisori Radhika was watching the cows being milked, and She too desired to milk them. She took a clay pot and proceeded to do so. Mischievous Krsna arrived at that spot and said,"Sakhi, don't You know how to milk a cow? Come, I will teach You." And He sat down next to Her.
"O Mohana, teach Me," Radhika said, and She placed Herself in front of Him.
"All right. You milk from two teats and I will milk from the other two, and keep looki

I mentioned that I would write about living longer in the present body. In order to understand this topic one has to understand the larger topic of how the material energy affects the bodies and minds of devotees, whether or not they are aware of it, or even in denial of it.
If we had the siddhis that yogis have, such as laghima, becoming light enough to float on a sunbeam, or mahima, becoming very big or heavy—and I am not talking about getting fat—or
Buy land and move out.
Prabhupada: In India also, British period, they used to, that, but Indian people are little clever. They would come from the village to the city alone, not with family. They earn money and send to the family. And whenever they like, they go away. They’re not dependent. And if you bring family, you have to work. That system is still going on. The village men, they come but they do not bring their family.Family remains in the village. He earns, he lives some way or other and
Sat-Karma
"Anyone who knows perfectly well the science of Krsna," krsna-tattva-vetta, "in truth, he is guru." Nobody can become guru unless he knows the science of Krsna. Therefore it is said in the sastra that sat-karma-nipuno viprah. Vipra means brahmana.
Brahmana, he is supposed to know six kind of activities, sat-karma. Sat means six. What is that six kinds of? Pathana pathana. Brahmana must be very learned, very expert, expertly learned in Vedic knowledge. That is called pathana. And pathana:

Importance of the Guru
Then Srila Prabhupada spoke. Given the number of guests present, he explained first why he occupied his impressive throne-like seat. He said there were two reasons; the vyasasana means the seat of Vyasa, which the representative of Vyasa is allowed to sit on; and vyasa-puja, the worship offered to the representative of Vyasa on his birthday.
He went on to lucidly describe the importance of the guru. "Now I must explain my position because in these days, a person being worshi
Sunday, October 3, is the anniversary of the day on which Hladini devi dasi was brutally gunned down by an extra-judicial firing squad in war-torn Liberia in western Africa. The death squad arrived at the Hare Krishna temple in the capital city of Monrovia in the early morning hours, and ordered the devotees to come out. Seven devotees, five men and two women, exited the temple and filed into the waiting jeep. They were driven a short distance to the Sturton Bridge, where the devotees were forc

Little Bobby came into the kitchen where his mother was making dinner.
His birthday was coming up and he thought this was a good time to tell his mother what he wanted.
Mom, I want a bike for my birthday.

विनती
दग्द तन और संतप्त मन ।
भरी नन्हे ह्रदय में पीर बड़ी ।।
कैसे मिले वे कृष्ण ललन ।
कैसे बूझे अब प्रेम अगन ।।
स्वप्न सा जीवन सह नही पाता ।
मृत्यु का ये कडुवा सच ।।
भागा फिरता इधर उधर ।
निर्उदे्श्य सा ये चंचल मन ।।
ना शक्ति है ना भक्ति है ।
और नही ज़रा भी समर्रपण ।।
दया करो, हे दीनदयाल ।
विनती कर लो स्वीकार सजन ।।
क्या लगता है तुमको, भला ।
क्या कर जाता तुम्हें, प्रसन्न ।।
कैसे जानू, किससे पूछूँ ।
तुम्ही बोलो, करूँ कौन जतन ।।
विनती है निज चरणों में
करके अनुग्रह, करलो आलिंगन
मन में करके स्वीकार मुझे
हरलो दास का विषा
While speaking earlier this week with a boy who's recently taken up bhakti-yoga, I realized how important purity and Vaisnava character are for distributing Srila Prabhupada's books and inspiring people to take up devotional service.
The boy was named Anchal. He had recently come to New Zealand from India, supposedly to further his studies but actually to meet his guru. He related to me how four months after his arrival here he had met a brahmacari distributing books on the street in Auckland. He

Many kinds of Surrender
Since there are many kinds of surrender, there are many degrees of completeness because some types of surrender are more total than others. By and large they all entail abandonment of certain designations: of birth and parentage, of career and material possessions, of mind, of the body and its senses, of doctrines and concepts. Abandonment of delusion followed by submission to the Divine, to the Will of the Father, is the process of surrender. Such a surrender, when it is
Now that Janmastami and Radhastami Festivals have finished, thoughts turn
towards Kartika. The Puranas glorify the month of Kartika as very special for
making spiritual advancement, and the best place to be in Kartika is Sri Braja
Dham. In fact this month is known as Damodar since in the middle of this month,
the Lord performed His very enchanting Damodar Lila. Kartika month also
represents Radharani, and devotees perform special austerities to
"In the modern world, trademarks are very common. And they are protected. The trademark for marketing the holy name is the causeless mercy of Caitanya Mahaprabhu, Lord Gauranga. In this Age of Kali, it is not possible to achieve the pure holy name without chanting the names of the Pancha-Tattva prior to chanting the Hare Krishna maha-mantra.
Whoever wants to market the holy name must be a sincere follower of the Lord and distribute the name under Gauranga's brand name, or proce
