But Prabhupada quoted an old saying, "If somebody offers you very nicely washed cloth, you should use it. And some property, you must use it." He said that people are rotting outside of Krsn
The Supreme Personality of Godhead, in His feature of eternal time, is present in the material world and is neutral towards everyone. No one is His ally, and no one is His enemy. Within the jurisdiction of the time element, everyone enjoys or suffers the result of his own karma, or fruitive activities. As, when the wind blows, small particles of dust fly in the air, so, according to one's particular karma, one suffers or enjoys material life. –Srimad-Bhagavatam 4.11.20
Karma is the cosmic law of
So, how do we know what God wants us to do? We are not pure enough at this point to hear His direct instructions to us within our hearts. We have to hear from His authorized representative, the bona fi

Her gold complexion steals the pride of golden lotus tinged with red.
Her fragrance mocks the scent of lotus bloom with saffron powder spread.
Her skill in satisfying Sri Hari is perfect and complete...
May Radhika bestow on me the service of Her lotus feet.

Cow's meat will be served in Commonwealth games in India.
Cow is our mother.
Devotees should oppose this!
By H.G Devananda Pandita Dasa

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

It is worth sharing with readers.

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.

Little Bobby was a bit of a troublemaker.
He had gotten into trouble at school and at home.
Bobby's mother asked him if he thought he deserved to get a bike for
