Prabhupada was annoyed when devotees in Vrindavan repeatedly walked in and out of his room and left the door open behind them, letting in flies.

"Why are you leaving the door open?" he yelled. It is a contagious disease." And then he told a story.

An employer advertised for an opening in his firm and received many applications. Based on these, he selected two men and asked them to come for an interview. The employer then observed each man carefully during the interview. When the first man entered

DEAR DEVOTEES;

This is humble query to you all,

As it is clearly understands that every human being who takes birth has to die on one fine day as per scheduled time by destiny. But sometime it is observed that due to sudden accidents, earthquake or suicides human life comes to an end before scheduled time which is called as AKAL MRUTYU.

My query is that how the above thing is happens.... if Shastra says everything controlled by destiny after Lord KRSNA.

In the Srimad Bhagavatam lecture on March 18, 1976, two days after Gaura Purnima, Srila Prabhupada said, "Srimad Bhagavatam should be your life and soul to remain constantly in Krsna consciousness." This instruction became an important focus in my life. I considered what it meant, "Srimad Bhagavatam should be your life and soul." Often when lecturing or otherwise preaching to devotees, I still quote this instruction and elaborate on what it means: that we should re

My Memories of Srila Prabhupada

The second darsana was the famous interview with Mike Robinson of the London Broadcasting Corporation, a local radio company. Devotees were already crowding the room when Mr. Robinson entered. Mukunda Prabhu (now Mukunda Goswami), who was organizing the meeting, asked him if he wanted the devotees to leave while it was conducted. But Mr. Robinson didn't want to put others to trouble for his sake, and even though Mukunda asked him twice, he insisted that it was alri

My Memories of Srila Prabhupada

During this visit, Srila Prabhupada accepted several new candidates for initiation, including me. On the following Janmastami, our GBC, Hansaduta Prabhu, conducted the initiation ceremony on behalf of Srila Prabhupada. I was given the name Ilapati dasa brahmacari.

The second time I saw Srila Prabhupada was in England in 1976. Srila Prabhupada stayed about four days, and I was able to go on one morning walk with him -- the only morning walk I ever got to go on with S
