We had a lively Zoom group, our usual Thursday gathering. Discussions were on chapter 9, verse 32 of The Gita. In Ranchor Prime’s translation of the verse it goes like this, “All those who seek my shelter, whatever their birth, gender, cast or status, attain the supreme destination.” It was a lively discussion.
Before that, I was soaking in the sun and, fortunate for me, people in the park were stopping to talk. One fellow goes back-and-forth on a jog for an hour each day. Today he stopped to o
As aspiring devotees, many a times, we feel alone, sometimes even helpless. We, however, forget that Krishna as Supersoul is always with us. Due to our ignorance and dull consciousness we may not be able to see Krishna’s hand in our journey towards Him but He is very much with us. We may not be able to appreciate and value how Krishna, as Supersoul sitting in our heart, is inspiring us to progress towards Him at every stage in our Krishna consciousness journey. Supersoul plays a very important
अध्याय अट्ठाईस - कृष्ण द्वारा वरुणलोक से नन्द महाराज की रक्षा (10.28)
1 श्रीबादरायणि ने कहा: भगवान जनार्दन की पूजा करके तथा एकादशी के दिन व्रत रखकर नन्द महाराज ने द्वादशी के दिन स्नान करने के लिए कालिन्दी के जल में प्रवेश किया।
2 चूँकि नन्द महाराज ने इस बात की अवहेलना करके कि यह अशुभ समय था रात्रि के अंधकार में जल में प्रवेश किया था अतः वरुण का आसुरी सेवक उन्हें पकड़कर अपने स्वामी के पास ले आया।
3 हे राजन, नन्द महाराज को न देखकर ग्वाले जोर से चिल्ला उठे, “हे कृष्ण, हे राम,” भगवान कृष्ण ने उनकी चीख

अध्याय सत्ताईस - इन्द्रदेव तथा माता सुरभि द्वारा स्तुति (10.27)
1 श्रील शुकदेव गोस्वामी ने कहा: कृष्ण के गोवर्धन पर्वत उठाने तथा भयंकर वर्षा से व्रजवासियों की रक्षा करने के बाद गौवों की माता सुरभि गोलोक से कृष्ण का दर्शन करने आई। इनके साथ इन्द्र था।
2 भगवान का अपमान करने के कारण इन्द्र अत्यन्त लज्जित था। एकान्त स्थान में उनके पास जाकर इन्द्र उनके चरणों पर गिर पड़ा और सूर्य के समान तेज वाले मुकुट को भगवान के चरणकमलों पर रख दिया।
3 अब तक इन्द्र सर्वशक्तिमान कृष्ण की दिव्य शक्ति को सुन तथा देख चुका

Krishna’s People (Gente di Krishna), a new online talk show in Italian, gives voice to the devotee majority in Italy – those who live regular lives working, studying and taking care of their families, while incorporating Krishna consciousness.
The program, hosted by Villa Vrindavana temple president and Italian Communications Director Parabhakti Das, takes place live on Zoom every Friday at 7pm Italian time, and is broadcast to platforms like Facebook, Instagram and Youtube.
Shaping a prayer was a portion of today’s preoccupation. Why is prayer important? It is a practice amongst followers of bhakti yoga. A person by the name of Akura, during Krishna’s time, championed this. In my spare time I’m piecing together a poem to address the nature and healing power of prayer.
It’s fun and it’s provocative.
Today was also splendid in the sense that two god-siblings called at different times to reach out. It is always great to reminisce, which is what we usually do when we

Bhagwaan ka naam hamare hriday ko shuddh kyun nahi karta?
अध्याय छब्बीस - अद्भुत कृष्ण (10.26)
1 श्रील शुकदेव गोस्वामी ने कहा: जब गोपों ने गोवर्धन पर्वत उठाने जैसे कृष्ण के कार्यों को देखा तो वे विस्मित हो गये। उनकी दिव्य शक्ति को न समझ पाने के कारण वे नन्द महाराज के पास गये और इस प्रकार बोले।
2 ग्वालों ने कहा: जब यह बालक ऐसे अद्भुत कार्य करता है, तो फिर किस तरह हम जैसे संसारी व्यक्तियों के बीच उसने जन्म लिया? ऐसा जन्म तो उसके लिए घृणित लगेगा।
3 यह सात वर्ष का बालक किस तरह विशाल गोवर्धन पर्वत को खेल खेल में एक हाथ से उसी तरह उठाये रह सकता है, जिस तरह

According to Madhvacarya’s Mahabharata Tatparya Nirnaya 2.3-4 the original Mula Ramayana was a massive work consisting of 100 crore slokas (1 billion) while the currently available Valmiki Ramayana consists of only 24,000 slokas. The greatest repository of Rāma līlā in the Purāṇas is the Padma Purana wherein much of the fifth canto is devoted to Lord Rama. It even includes a narration of the Ramayana that took place in a earlier Kalpa and is different (Kalpa Bheda) in some respects to the more

A new program at New Vrindaban in West Virginia, dubbed “Seva-Yoga,” has been launched to help guests build a relationship with Krishna through service.
“It evolved naturally from an experience we had over the weekend of Gaura Purnima,” says New Vrindaban Lodge Manager Sarah. “We were short-staffed for various different services, so a team of people like the temple president Jaya Krishna, communications director Anuradha, and others jumped in to help clean the rooms to get t
On this day Jahnu Muni swallowed and released the Ganga, who was on her way to deliver the ancestors of King Bhagiratha – this is one reason why the Ganges is also called the Bhagirathi.
On this day, the Ganga is worshipped, and many people make offerings to the forefathers, and bathe in the Ganga. On this day, if possible, one should worship the Ganges and bathe in her waters.
