Krsna was very pleased with the atmosphere of the forest where flowers bloomed and bees and drones hummed very jubilantly. While the birds, trees and branches were all looking very happy, Krsna, tending the cows, accompanied by Sri Balarama and the cowherd boys, began to vibrate His transcendental flute. After hearing the vibration of the flute of Krsna, the gopis in Vrndavana remembered Him and began to talk amongst themselves about how nicely Krsna was playing His flute. When the gopis were de

The Strength of Association

The Strength of Association

There was a thief who was robbing businessmen and murdering people. One day he heard that the king of the country had invited all the sannyasis, sadhus and ascetics for a big meeting. The thief was thinking, "Maybe the king will be giving help to them, so I will see if I can rob someone and get some money." So he went to the meeting and hid himself away. The king then came out onto his balcony, and he began to speak. "O great sadhus, I have a daughter and she is very i

Prabhupad Quote

"If one purposefully commits mistake and sinful life, "Now I am chanting Hare Krishna. I can do all sinful life. It will become counteracted," that rascal will be punished very, very much. "I am living in Vrndavana. Oh, it is dhama, so let me do all nonsense. It will be counteracted." They'll be these cats and dogs and monkeys in Vrndavana. "

Srila Prabhupad Quote

"Fate can be changed by Krishna consciousness. Krishna says, "I shall give you protection from all the resultant action of your sinful life." That is fate changed. When you surrender to Krishna, He takes charge of squaring up all your sinful activities and their reaction. Surrender to Krishna; then your fate is changed."

1. Obeisances to the direction that faces Sri Vrsabhanu's daughter. When the breeze coming from that direction playfully moves the edge of His garment, Lord Krsna, who cannot be attained by even the kings of the yogis, thinks that His life has now become a great success.

The Undercover Avatara

So here is a very specific statement about Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu, who is avatāra. Caitanya Mahāprabhu is the same Supreme Personality of Godhead, but He’s channa. Channa means covered, not directly, because He has appeared as a devotee. Avatāra… Rūpa Gosvāmī has found out that He’s avatāra of Kṛṣṇa. All the devotees, Sārvabhauma Bha

Who is Sakhi

Who is Sakhi

The Gopis having kept the sacred dust of the Feet of Sri Radhaji upon their Forehead have attained their God of worship-Sri Krishna. Their worship of Radhaji has taken them to their Goal i.e. Sri Krishna.

But the innate Bhava of Sakhi or Rasika Mahatma has been ellucidated in Chaitanya Charithamrutham, it says:
"Inexplicable is the Bhava (innate feel) of Sakhi, her mind won't prefer to play with Krishna."

SAKHI'S GOAL IS SRI RADHA. HER ATTENTION IS ONLY ON THE LOTUS FEET OF SRI RADHA.
