Hare Krsna dear devotees, tomorrow is the auspicious appearance day of Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakur. He is very recognized by his amazing songs and by his writings. Everything he made he put his heart on it and its also very inspiring to read and sing his songs. I remember hearing a devotee singing this song with my Guru Maharaj and everytime I see this song I remember what mood we should have when we chant and when we perform service in our everyday life.
This is the translation of this song, I am

वो तकलीफों में बह रहे हैं.
रोना था हमें तेरे लिए प्रभु
पर अपनी परेशानियों पे रो रहे हैं.
तेरा विरह मुझे
बेचैन नही कर पाता उतना .
ये संसार,ये माहौल
कर जाता है जितना.
तेरे मिलन की तड़प
अभी भी इस कदर न तडपाये
कि बाकी सारे सुख-दुःख
मुझे नजर ही न आये.
भक्ति के एक भी चिह्न
मुझमे दिखाई नही देते.
सुध बनी रहती है अब भी
तेरे नाम लेते-लेते.
कब मेरी भक्ति की शुरुआत होगी
कब होठों पे मेरे तेरी ही बात होगी.
कब खुले आँखों से तेरे दर्शन होंगे
कब स्वप्न में भी मुलाकात होगी.
I was distributing books in Northampton (in the Midlands of England) and stopped a young man who seemed quite well-natured. He had grown up in a Catholic family, but he introduced himself as a 21-year-old searcher looking deeply into Buddhism. I showed him our new VEDA book and told him that the article on Buddhism and KC may interest him. He had heard of the Vedas and was happy to take it away, along with a couple of other books, and generously gave a £20 donation.
Two weeks later, I decid

ये माया हमारी भक्ति को

विरक्ति उपज रही है.
दुविधा खड़ी हो जाती है
हर एक कदम उठाने पर.
कही ये प्रभु से दूर न जाए
कुछ भी न बचे आने तक.
जो भी हो संभालना मुश्किल है
दोनों को साथ ले चलना मुश्किल है.
दोनों को कैसे मै दिल से लगाऊं
मेरे पास एक -ही तो दिल है.
कान्हा तुझे मै छोड़ नही सकती
और दूसरे को भी साथ ले चलना है.
मेरे वश में कुछ भी न रहा अब
अब जो भी है तुझे ही करना है.
It has been estimated that the average human being has around 60,000 thoughts per day. That's a lot of thoughts. Some of these thoughts are going to be positive and productive. Unfortunately, however, many of them are also going to be negative—angry, fearful, pessimistic, worrisome. Indeed, the important question isn't whether or not you're going to have negative thoughts — you are—it's what you choose to do with the ones that you have.
In a practical sense, you really have o

Akama and Sakama Devotees
Those who approach the Supreme Personality of Godhead with desires for material enjoyment are called sakama, and those devotees who have no material desires for sense gratification but serve the Supreme Lord out of spontaneous love for Him are called akama. Sakama devotees are divided into
The devotees, the jnanis, who are known as moksa-kama, and the karmis, who are known as sarva-kama, are all aspiring to worship the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Visnu. Even when one performs yajnas, as stated here (kriya-kalapaih), he should always remember that the demigods are but agents of the Supreme Lord. Actually the worshipful Lord is Visnu, Yajnesvara. Thus even when different demigods are worshiped in the Vedic and Tantric sacrifices, the actual goal of sacrifice is Lord Visnu.

Fire Strikes ISKCON Again
First we lost Aindra Prabhu to fire, then a fiery explosion took out our Leicester Temple in the UK. Now, a massive wild fire has engulfed Pandavas Paradise, our 1000 acre Hare Krishna retreat center in the grassy plateaus of central Brazil (Chapada dos Veadeiros).
Though a common occurence at this time of the year, this wild fire was allied with a powerful wind. We are coming to the end of the dry season here, it is very dry and we haven’t had a drop of rain for abou
