Today I am writing after a long time. As if I had stopped living for all this while since I stopped wiritng. Really WRITING IS LIVING. I read today- to write is a verb not a noun. Meaning it is an action word. It can never be stagnant or still. It has to be dynamic has to always be moving. Over the years my heart seemed to have dried I don’t know how I allowed that but it was kind of a degradation of my soul. This trip which I had alone to a beautiful and spiritually charged place ha

‘Excuse me…Dr Sathe, is it?’
Dr Sathe looked up from his desk and saw an attractive woman in her late thirties at the door of his office. Dr Sathe waved her inside and they shook hands.
‘Good evening Dr Sathe,’ The visitor took the seat that was offered to her and continued, ‘I’m Mrs Madhavi Kothare, we spoke on the telephone earlier…regarding my brother, Mr Madan Pradhan. I have got the photographs and the other documents that you wanted…’
Madhavi held out a large, thick envelope to him.

Dear Devotees,
Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
My name is Samik Rsi Dasa (ACBSP) and I have been an ISKCON devotee since 1972 when I came to the USA to practice Medicine. Since then I have tried to serve the movement in various capacities such as Temple President (1996-2010) in Towaco, New Jersey as well as other services by the mercy of Srila Prabhupada and the Vaisnavas.
I am approaching you simply for your blessings, input, advice and direction on sp
As the famous saying goes " Beauty lies in the eyes of the Beholder". So no doubt our conception of beauty may differ a lot from others. Nonetheless, it is a pleasure sharing with you my idea of beauty. Poets, writers authors all have been glorifying the beauty of this world since time immemorial. But i pity those who think that beauty is just skin deep. The most beautiful things in this world are felt more than they are seen. .Have you ever experienced the feeling of the morning dew o

“I am convinced that the biggest problem of ISKCON and the reason of all the difficulties we are facing now is that in pursuit of external developments (huge temples, millions of distributed book, etc.) we forget about our main responsibility – to learn to love Krsna.”

Prasadam For All!!!
Dear devotees, Hare Krsna!
I have the pleasure to announce the broadcast of a wonderful program: H.H. Radhanatha Maharaja meets with H.H. Sacinandana Swami.
This event will take place at the Dharma Castle on Thursday, 4th of August, at 19h00 (7pm German time) and will be broadcasted on the Mayapur.TV channel "H.H. Sacinandana Swami".
In three out of the four millenniums (namely Satya-yuga, Tretä-yuga and Dväpara-yuga) people had the honor to be able to understand transcendence through the path of disciplic succession. However, in the present age, people have no interest in the disciplic succession. Instead, they have invented many paths of logic and argument. This individual attempt to understand the supreme transcendence (called the ascending process) is not approved by the Vedas. The Absolute Truth must descend from the

His Divine Grace arrives, Melbourne 1974
Dear Devotees,
I recorded memories of times I was with Srila Prabhupada, including audio clips of him speaking on various topics during morning walks when I was present. I love to hear him blast the scientists so effectively, and set our minds right about everything. Apologies if the kirtan lead seems a bit sentimental. I kept this recording for a long time and recently decided to release it.

The narration of Govardhana’s Avirbhava, or appearance, in this world and the receiving of the name of "Giriraja" is described in the second chapter of the Vrndavana-khanda of the Garga-Samhita, by Sri Gargacaraya. In a counsel of wise and elderly gopas of Vraja that included Nanda Maharaja and his brother Sananda amongst the discussion, the previously mentioned topics were debated upon. Pandu and Bhisma raised the questions for discussion, and the narration was then told by Sananda to Nanda Ma
Took a bath despite to the type of whether,
Waking up when the Sun was not there.
Oh, yes! Before swept cleanly the floor,
Meditating that God will love me for.
Wearied my sari and put tilak,
Also kajal, decoration to my eyes and hair.
Opened Altar to meet my Lord there,
Or correctly, to be seen by Him here.
Paid obeisance with lots of prayers,
Which I copied from Acharias previous.
"Oh Lord! You are only shelter…" and so on,
"Please, don't neglect Your child alone!"

SAD END TO A BRILLIANT CAREER : DOMINIQUE STRAUSS – KAHN
The untimely end to Dominique Strauss – Kahn’s ( hereinafter referred to as DSK ) brilliant career at IMF, precipitated by a momentary “indiscretion”, while trying to have forced sex with the hotel’s housekeeping staff, a Guinean lady, and having been indicted by a NY court on all of seven counts, and now on house arrest and awaiting trial, is a classic example of degeneration of our collective values in modern times.
