Maybe their egos need to be glorified, but it is very painful to hear a person always talk about himself. On the other hand, how blissful it is when a person always |

Once some devotees were sent to establish a preaching center in Bengal. They worked day and night, equipping it as a beautiful temple. When Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati arrived to install the Deities, he was very pleased and asked about one brahmacari who had worked hard on the preparations. The disciples told him, "Master, he became entangled with a lady. We rebuked him so much for his behavior that he

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

On October 20, 1956, Srila Prabhupada described the qualities that he wished to invoke in the members of his new society, The League of Devotees:
"To evoke the qualities of 'goodness' particularly (Satwa-guna) in every member of the 'League' individually by the process of spiritual initiation (Diksha) by establishing him in the status of a qualified Brahmin (good and intellectual man) on the basis of truthfulness, forgiveness, equality, tolerance, education, purity, knowledge (specific and gener

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

"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. "

"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."
