Sri Yudhishthira MahArAja said, “Oh Supreme Lord, what is the name and character of that EkAdasii that occurs during the dark fortnight (krishna paksha) of the extra, leap year month of Purushottama. Also, Oh master of all the universes, what is the process for observing it properly? Kindly narrate all of this to me?”

The Supreme Personality of Godhead, Lord Sri Krishna, replied, “Oh Yudhishthira, this meritorious day is called ParamA EkAdasii. It bestows the great benediction of an enjoyable lif

We should always do all our wordly activities for KRISHNA,direct all our activity towards KRISHNA inorder to convert them into spiritual.

As Lord KRISHNA HIMSELF Says"In all activities depend upon ME and work always under MY protection.

In such devotional service,be fully conscious of ME."(18.57)

Whenever there is KRSNA,THE MASTER OF ALL MYSTICS,AND WHEREVER THERE IS Arjuna ,the supreme archer,there will also certainly be opulence,victory,extraordinary power,and morality."

so, always feel presence of LORD ,HE is with us ,our LORD is waiting for HIS children but its our misfortune that we forget our LORD and engage in our wordly life which is mithya.

On Fulfilling Srila Prabhupada's Desires

Srila Prabhupada told us that the only question he asked of his Guru Maharaja was, "How can I serve you ?" Now, several years after Prabhupada's apparent departure from this world, there is sometimes confusion and disagreement over how we should best serve him. "What does Srila Prabhupada want of us? What do we have to do now to please him?" The answer is simple, for Srila Prabhupada made it clear what he wanted: a world revolution of Krsna consciousness.

On Fulfilling Srila Prabhupada's Desires

"Satisfaction of the self-realized spiritual master is the secret of advancement in spiritual life."

This dictum (noted in the purport to Bhagavad-gita As It Is 4.34) formed the basis of Srila Prabhupada's approach to Krsna consciousness and his attitude towards his guru. He communicated this vital essence to us also: "We have to do something to please Srila Prabhupada."

Once a sannyasi asked a group of devotees, "Are you ready for death?" He let them think

Getting Srila Prabhupada's Mercy

Sastra states that only the most pious and fortunate can take to devotional service. Considering this, a devotee put it to Srila Prabhupada that his disciples were previously almost all wretched, unfortunate and devoid of pious activities. How, then, could they have got the opportunity to serve Krsna? "I have made your pious activities," Srila Prabhupada retorted.

Srila Prabhupada came to spread good fortune to the world. All who came in contact with His Divine Gra

Love Means to Follow

I want one student who follows my instruction. I don't want millions. Ekas candras tamo hanti na ca tarah-sahasrasah. If there is one moon in the sky, that is sufficient for illumination. There is no need of millions of stars. So my position is that I want to see that at least one disciple has become pure devotee. Of course, I have got many sincere and pure devotees. That is my good luck. But I would have been satisfied if I could find out one only. Lecture, San Francisco, Ju

The best of demigods and sages worship Him, and the Upanishads sing His glories. May that Jagannatha Svami be the object
