A man sat at a metro station in Washington DC and started to play the violin; it was a cold January morning. He played six Bach pieces for about 45 minutes. During that time, since it was rush hour, it was calculated that 1,100 people went through the station, most of them on their way to work.
Three minutes went by, and a middle aged man noticed there was musician playing. He slowed his pace, an...d stopped for a few seconds, and then hurried up to meet his schedule.

You're walking on the busy road..
You're strolling in a garden
You're hurrying to the office
You decide to walk to the market..
In every instance above..
You've to cross and criss-cross
A mileu of..
Trees, birds, flowers, lawns...
People, children, dogs...
Vendors, kiosks, shops..
All the time you're...
Engaged within your own mind,
Talking to yourself silently..
Seeing people in your mind..
Drawing pictures in your thoughts..
Smiling now, gnashing now..
Nodding now and then!
Open your door and step
ALL IS NOT WELL
The other side of the fence always looks green, when we see our life, we might feel that only I am suffering in the world, only I have problems and these problems are endless.
But when you peep in others life, we realize that we are not the only one who are faced with issues, there are many more, almost all.
Few days back, I got a call from a girl, sounding very confident, very cheerful, she was speaking in such a positive way, the confidence from her mood flew in my mind and I

It is a blessing to have some good karma. It is a blessing to be detached. It saves one a lot of trouble. It is a shortcut. Such piety is valuable. The blessings of bhakti are amazing, bhakty-unmukhī sukṛti (Caitanya Caritamrta Madhya 22.45 Purport). They are amazing because the blessings of bhakti may naturally make us take to Krsna so easily!

Once, I met Reverend Ridley De. After he quietly listened to my lecture for two or three hours, he said, “Since you are saying things that are so similar to Christianity, why don’t you declare yourself a Christian?” To this I said, “Christianity is only a partial representation of – or a step on the ladder of – Vaiṣṇava dharma. Apart from that, we have more, which supplements what Christianity teaches. Things that have not been said in Christianity because qualification is there in a fuller exte

Locals and visitors alike flocked to the port district to observe the impressive dimensions of the ship. Hundreds of cruisers stepped off the ship to explore the Boricua shore. Unbeknownst to the gathering crowds, they were about to witness a joyous process
Srila Prabhupada: My Guru Maharaja explained that you haven’t got to learn anything extra for Krsna’s service. Whatever you know, you just apply it. Then you become successful. Because our time is very short. We do not know when I am going to die. (Srila Prabhupada, Conversation - July 16, 1968 - Montreal)

Chand Kazi: When Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu was in Mayapur, Chand Kazi was the Chief Magistrate of Navadvipa. It is described in Sri Navadvipa Dhama Mahatmya by Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura, when Lord Nityananda Prabhu while taking Jiva Gosvami on Navadvipa-Mandala Parikrama, entered Chand Kazi’s Village, Lord said, "O Jiva, hear My words. The Chand Kazi's village is none other than Mathura. After performing kirtana, Gauranga gave love of God to the Kazi and liberated him. Mathura's King Kamsa of K
Vaiṣṇava devotee means give me simply a place to lay down, little prasādam, whatever little service you have got please give me, that's all. -Śrīla Prabhupāda's Letter to: Gurudāsa, Yamunā — Bombay 19 December, 1972
Devotee means he is able to tolerate all kinds of discomfort and whims of the material nature, and because he is so much absorbed in serving Kṛṣṇa, he takes no time to become angry or take offense with others or find out some fault. -Śrīla Prabhupāda’s Letter to: Haṁsadūta — Ahmedab
The top part, on the forehead, symbolises the footprint of the Lord. On the top of the nose, that symbolises or looks like a tulasi leaf. Both are very important and very auspicious. In India, all the temples of Visnu or Krishna, the main domes or sometimes the walls of the temples, you will see it has large scale tilak marks. These are the traditional markings for a temple of the Lord. Krishna, the Lord, is present in our hearts in other words our bodies are temples of the Lord. Therefore we de
Well, prayer is like a standard practice in the process of Krishna consciousness. We should pray to the Lord. This means in general that we can offer our own prayers. It is a standard activity we are meant to do, having said that, if we pray through Srila Prabhupada, it is MUCH MORE LIKELY that Krishna will hear us and take note of our prayer because Prabhupada is much more than we are. Krishna listens to Prabhupada. Krishna will probably listen to us but not the same way. Just not the same way.
Spiritual Strength Comes By Others' PRAYERS
It never came in my mind, I never gave an attempt, I never thought of it. Recently, i went for Tirupati Yatra with devotee friends. We stayed in Tirupati and we had to go to Tirumala to take Lord Balaji's darshan. Only one day was remaining to take a glance at the Lord. Some devotees planned that instead of going by bus to Tirumala, they would prefer to go by steps, which is a journey of about 9 km, 2500 steps. I never wanted to go by steps because of h
