Three kinds of happinesses

2515049972?profile=original

2515050107?profile=original2515050260?profile=originalPrabhupada: Yes. Three kinds of happinesses, bhoga, tyaga, and bhakti, seva. Bhoga tyaga seva. The karmis, they are after bhoga, sense enjoyment. And the jnanis, they are after another side of negation of sense enjoyment. When one is fed up with sense enjoyment... Just like in your country, the young boys, they are practically fed up with the way of sense enjoyment as their fathers and grandfathers had done. So in the name of tyaga, renunciation, they have taken another kind of sense enjoyment

Service Rendered

2515049521?profile=original

In appreciation of the service rendered by his disciples, Srila Prabhupada once said that his guru maharaja, Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati, had sent them to help him in his preaching mission.

One disciple spoke up and said, “But Srila Prabhupada how could that be? We were so sinful before we met you.”

Srila Prabhupada replied, “That is superficial. As soon as you heard the chanting of Hare Krsna you all came running!”

Often people are trapped into a web of fear. A fear arising out of ignorance, stemming from our hearts due to myriad apprehensions. The only way to break free from this web and unlock the closet of miseries is to have Faith. What is faith? Faith means unfinching trust in something sublime. It means having a deep conviction, a strong sense of confidence on God's foolproof plan for each one of us.

We can learn from our Scriptures, from the exemplary lives of the enlightened souls, that the Pandavas

Perhaps you are a Christian, or Muslim or Jew. And can you - a convinced atheist? No! Are you a doctor or a school teacher! But you look more like the head of the council or an employee of special units? You may have a simple worker, a taxi driver or a police officer. Whoever you are, you will be interested to look through our magazine.
