Krsna says in the Bhagavad-gita that by regular practise of offering everything in service to him, we will become strong. So, it’s very nice that we have communities of devotees and when you visit and see all the children, you think, “How nice it is to grow up like this,with the deities and with Srila Prabhupada…” It’s such a good start. I always thought that this is

“Machine means unemployment for many. Tractor, they’re using, they’re unemployment for bulls and ploughmen and then they, bulls have to be killed. This is going on. Unemployment, then kill them.”

One of the main problems with today’s modernity is the usage of machinery. And why so many Bulls are slaughtered is because there is no work for them to do. If we can understand the nature of today’s farming activities it is apparent that we al

Most of the times, we are running after money ( dhan ). Money is what makes the world go round, or so it appears. Many a times, this appears to be true. Money enables us to buy goods and services, food, clothing and other basic necessities of life, possessions, home, car, luxuries, etc; Since Laxmi is the goddess of wealth, we worship her to bless us with her favour and benediction. As we are mostly obsessed with money and its acquisition, we do not realize that Laxmi also benedicts us with bea

Dear Maharajas and Prabhus,

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

On behalf of the entire team of ISKCON Communications, I'm glad to inform you that Prime Minister of India, Shri Narendra Modi would be unveiling the Astounding Bhagavad Gita on February 26, 2019 at ISKCON, East of Kailash, New Delhi.

Krsna says that the gopikas (Srimati Radhika being the topmost) are so dear to Him. And then He leaves them and goes to Mathura. How is it possible? Is He so casual, just “Ram Ram. There are beautiful women in Mathura also”? No, His heart is so grateful and kind. In the 11th Canto His heart will again come out in the open, even though He does not plan this.

Here He sends Uddhava to bring consolation to the gopis. He describes, this is the perfection of the perfection (SB 10.46.4):

How to immunize our minds against attacks by agents harmful to our spiritual life.

Many of us may sometimes feel fed up with the way things are going in our life. At such times, we feel mentally tired even when we are not physically tired. Because of mental exhaustion, many people seek relief in illusion through time-wasting entertainment at best and self-defeating addiction at worst. Mental tiredness can have several causes, but a common, major, and avoidable cause is the indiscriminate over-e
