The Story of Bali Maharaja and Lord Vaman Dev

Maharaja Pariksit inquired Suka: The Supreme God is the proprietor of everything. Why did He beg three paces of land from Bali Maharaja like a poor man, and when He got the gift for which He had begged, why did He nonetheless arrest Bali Maharaja? I am very much anxious to know the mystery of these contradictions.

Sri Suka Said: Bali Maharaja, The leader of the De

A vaishnava is especially interested in para upakara, doing good to others. pralhada maharaja was also interested in this. He did no

Beautiful poem received from a disciple of Sacinandana Swami

The Teacher, PainWhen we carefully study what drives people to spiritual life, we find asurprising correlation between a rise in spiritual earnestness and pain andmisery. Pain pushes us to seek relief beyond the body and mind. Pain anddisappointment knock on the closed doors of a superficial life and call usto open ourselves to the Lord in full surrender.While doing so, pain frequently slices through the illusory veil of mindlesssense pleasure. We arrive at the cardinal question: Where is my ult

'Lord Krishna existed. School texts are wrong'

>>>> 'Lord Krishna existed. School texts are wrong' <<<<

Did Krishna exist?Most certainly, says Dr Manish Pandit, a nuclear medicine physician who teaches in the United Kingdom, proffering astronomical, archaeological, linguistic and oral evidences to make his case."I used to think of Krishna is a part of Hindu myth and mythology. Imagine my surprise when I came across Dr Narhari Achar (a professor of physics at the University of Memphis, Tennessee, in the US) and his research in 2004 and 2005. H

What is (and isn't) cow protection

Posted by ISKCON desire tree on August 29, 2009 at 8:31am

Cow protection means just like Bhagavan, the Supreme Personality of Godhead,He is tending the cows. He is going, taking the cows personally from Hisroyal palace going to the forest whole day, working there. Is it not,cowherds boy? And taken some little fruit, mother, whatever mother hasgiven. They are playing that. So this is cow protection, not that "Somebodywill give money and we shall keep some third class cows and feed there andbecome cow protector." We must tend the cows very nicely so that

Bound to be FREE

Posted by Chaitanya Charan Das on August 26, 2009 at 10:00am

Once, a drunk person walking on a roof came dangerously close to the edge. When a wise person warned him, “Stop. Don’t move forward,” he angrily retorted, “Who are you to stop me? I am free to go wherever I want.” Yes, free he was, as he soon found – free to suffer and free to lose his freedom to walk forever.
Restriction is not a depriver of freedom, but a provider of freedom. When a doctor restricts the diet of a patient, that restriction facilitates the patient’s quick freedom from disease

Prisoners of Success

Posted by Chaitanya Charan Das on August 23, 2009 at 7:00am

“Success nowadays means to drive in a loaned car on a toll-charged expressway using credit card fuel.” This poignant statement shows the deceptive nature of the definition of success that is imposed on us by society. Indeed, most people today are “prisoners of success.” How? Generally, a prisoner is one whose freedom is restricted by immovable physical bars. The modern definition of success restricts people in their freedom by inflexible mental conceptions.

For example, a person, to be consi

By Gokulananda das ACBSPLord Caitanya’s magnanimous desire was to bless the whole world with His infinite mercy by displaying His most sublime lila of tasting and widely distributing the supreme fruit of love of God, Krishna prema. He thus desired to engage all willing souls to help Him distribute His sublime gifts everywhere. To fulfill his divine desire, Lord Nityananda Mahajan became the chief distributor of this transcendental harvest of pure love through the chanting of the nectarean Holy N

Quotes from Srila Bhakti Tirtha Swami - November 8, 1998

Posted by ISKCON desire tree on August 21, 2009 at 3:57pm

1.Treat each person with the bhakti and care as if the success or failure of your own spiritual life depends on this. Do not take into concern how they treat you.The manner in which you treat people is the same way you treat Guru and Krishna.2.Anytime that there is a problem in a relationship, you should first see it as your own fault. Even if others are to blame, you will only add to the problem by considering them to be at fault.3.You should treat every person with whom you come in con-tact wi

BE GRATEFUL FOR WHAT YOU HAVE!!!

Posted by Sita devi dasi on August 21, 2009 at 9:00am

</Gratitude is actually a prayer to god......saying thank you for all the things that He has given you. Recently one of my friends sent me an sms saying...A great man once said....i was complaining about not having no shoes till i saw a man with no legs. what a statement!!!. Really how many times in our life we fail to see the blessings that we have received from God and rather keep cribbing about things which we lack. Oh i wish i had this , oh i wish i had that and of course the list is endless

I was asked to give the lecture on Janmastami at the Detroit temple, (forthose of you in other countries, Detroit is a city in the state of Michiganin the USA). As I was speaking about the pastimes of Krsna somethingPrabhupada had said entered my train of thought, "Devotees are not satisfiedin just hearing the glories of Krsna they also want to distribute Hisglories." Well, that sparked an interactive discussion on book distribution.I asked, "How many of you have distirbuted books?" Everyone rai
