Truthful Krishna......!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A person whose word of honor is never broken is called truthful. Krsna once

Today, at 69 years old, Chaitanya Prema Dasa is a robust, healthy devotee, visiting the Potomac, Maryland ISKCON temple every Sunday and working at the Pentagon, where he has served for twenty-five years in the Department of the Defense Inspector General. He keeps a small altar with Srila Prabhupada and a large, beautiful picture of Lord Krishna in his office, so that his boss and co-workers see the Lord every time they have meetings there.
Seeing him, you would never guess that back in 1997, a

A tribute to Srimad Bhagavad Gita

The relevance of Srimad Bhagavad Gita in today’s age


The question of relevance for such topics comes into picture whenever certain systems of knowledge and certain practices are perceived to be outdated due to dynamically changing social structures and a widespread discomfort for anything labeled as religious, dogmatic or sectarian. The focus for this article is to try and brush aside these biases and objectively study the relevance of this very old but thoroughly timely system of knowledge in th

  1. Do the one thing that you aren’t doing now, but if you did do it well and regularly, would have the greatest impact in your life.
  2. The 80/20 rule. 80% of the most important things to do in life are on the top 20% of your prioritized list. Therefore, put “First things First.”
  3. Life has “speed bumps”—slow down, deal with the inevitable problems, and go on
  4. Who said life was suppose to be “fair”?

"With regard to your question about Bengali style kirtana and
mrdanga playing, one or two styles is best. To introduce more styles is not
good. It will become an encumbrance. If we introduce so much emphasis on
style of kirtana, then simply imitation will go on.

Devotional emotion is the main thing. If we give stress to
instrument and style then attention will be diverted to the style. That will
be spiritual loss."

"So if you have talent for musical achievement, that is nice; but if
you nourish some idea of becoming famous by playing some music, that will be
a source of frustration — the end.

So it is better if you play your music for Krishna by having very
ecstatic kirtanas in your center in Vancouver, and in this way, as I have
introduced it, all of the devotees and also the general public as well will
be able to join together cooperatively in the glorification of the Supreme
Personality of Godhead, not that we

"I understand also, there was a Kirtana performance given by Sri
Purna. You have rightly remarked whether they are devotees. You are right.
These people are professional singers.

Krishna Kirtana is not for earning a livelihood. Krishna Kirtana is
not meant for entertaining the public for demonstration of arts. It is
dynamic service to the Lord.

We do not therefore mind so much about the artistic presentation of
Krishna Kirtana but we want to see how much a devotee is satisfying the
Supreme Will."

This quote from Srila Prabhupada & the quotes in the following
e-mails were compiled by H.H. Indradyumna Swami in his harinama sankirtana
handbook entitled "Harinama Eva Kevalam".

He called this chapter “We Are Not Professional Musicians”. It
emphasises the importance of the propper mood of devotion & service while
out on harinama, and not the concentration on the musical performance.

The book was never published though. :(
