Question: Can a mantra really neutralize the sins already done or does it only give the courage to bear the pain (result)?

Romapada Swami answers: The Holy Name of God can actually eradicate the reactions for all the sins already committed. Not only that, scriptures state that when properly chanted, hari-nama can destroy more sins than one can possibly ever commit. In order to derive the full benefit of chanting --- it can even burn up the residual tendency in the heart to commit further sins! --

Today one devotee shared with us about his meeting with two Russian devotee couples in Srirangam. Those Russian devotees were earnestly looking out for the place where Mahaprabhu’s lotus feet are being worshiped in Srirangam. After taking them to that place, this devotee inquired those Russian devotees as to how they came to know about Krishna consciousness. One of that Russian prabhuji was earlier working as a butcher in a slaughterhouse. Somehow some merciful Vai

Kadamba Kanana Swami: I have one short story. It is a story I made up myself but I think it is quite nice. Once, there was a group of people who lived in an oasis in the desert. In this oasis, they had their enjoyment, they had their variety of things – camel milk, dates and some bananas; or bananas and dates and camel milk; or camel milk with bananas and dates; dried bananas; camel milkshake – but that was it. So they were milking their varieties and this oasis was known as t

Actually, today is his 999th birthday, which means that next year will be his millennial celebration. For someone’s teachings to endure for a thousand years and to be an unfailing source of inspiration for millions of people after all that time – means that what he wrote, and what he did, are of perennial use – practically and spiritually.

Ramanuja is remembered for his contributions to an already-existing tradition; contributions that rendered it possible for that tradition to endure through m

During my first years of high school, I was introduced into Hare Krishna philosophy. It was extremely akward because NO ONE at my school knew what a Hare Krishna was. Everyone knew what a Hindu was, but at the same time no one knew who Lord Krishna was. I had originally left Christianity because it had felt too basic for me, I did not feel much energy from it. I could tell that everyone went to church just for social acceptance, and just to get it done and over with, no one was truely worshiping

I mentioned before that in my early spiritual life there was a devotee named Mahavirya who helped me a lot at that time. Over the years, I completely lost touch with him but then someone found out his phone number.

So I called him the other day and he was completely in the same mood of the 70’s, nothing has changed – sixty-four rounds every day at least or more, just going strong and preaching all the time! In those days, devotees did not have conversations, they did not do that, they were alwa

Srila Prabhupada: Nobody can be stronger than God, nobody can be wiser than God, nobody can be more beautiful than God, and nobody can be more renouncer than God. So here Lord Ramacandra exhibited the quality how He renounced the whole kingdom simply on the order of His father, His obedience to his father. He could have argued with His father, “My dear father, you, simply for keeping your promise and actuated by the dictation of a woman, you are do

When I first went to India, Lord Ramachandra was the first deity I ever saw because the first temple I went to was of Lord Ramachandra and that was my temple! It was a small round temple and later on, they renovated and made it into a big marble temple. Oh, I miss my small round temple; it was so nice; the deities were really close but now they are high up and far away.

Then, when I went to Benares, I picked up the “Sri Rama Jaya Rama” mantra from a temple. It was playing twenty-four hours a da
