God and His representatives have the compassionate habit of turning up at that precarious moment when they are least wanted by the ruling miscreants! Being the possessor of multifarious inconceivable energies (‘parasya shaktir vividhaiva shruyate’), Krishna is able to subdue the demonic class (‘vinashaya ca dushkrtam’) by His ‘bala shakti’ and re-establish the principles of religion (‘dh

Schizophrenia is a mental disorder characterized by a disconnection between ones thoughts, feelings and actions. 'Skhizo', in Greek, means split and 'phren'means mind - the mind is split between discordant thoughts, emotions and activities. Victims of schizophrenia show some common traits - mistrust, suspicion, and l

Kamsa, the valiant coward lived in the fear of death

 

Damodara Pandita Dasa

 

Posted On Sunday, August 21, 2011 at 02:41:10 PM

img21.mob.jpgAsk yourself the question, "Was Kamsa really scared of death?" And be sure to hear the tyrant roar with laughter in the grave. Death can never scare a 'kshatriya' because his principles are more vital to his existence than just protecting a physical body.

A valiant warrior never accepts victory without its price tag - heroic fighting! For him, bodily death is secondary to th

Who Is that Girl with Krishna?

When people see a picture Radha & Krishna, they often ask, “Who is that girl with Krishna?” The answer is that She is Srimati Radharani, Krishna’s pleasure potency. The devotees of the Krishna consciousness movement humbly try to glorify Srimati Radharani because by Her mercy one can advance wonderfully in Krishna consciousness.

 

What Is the Pleasure Potency?


Everyone naturally wants to enjoy, yet no one is fully independent in finding enjoyment. To satisfy our desires, we need the association of

Rupa Goswami prays to Srimati Radharani in his Catu-puspanjalih [Stavamala] as follows:

"O Queen of Vrndavana, Sri Radha, I worship You. Your fair complexion is more resplendent than molten gold, the color of Your sari the hue of a blue lotus flower. Your beautiful braided hair is long and raven-black, its coiffure studded with many brilliant gems, like the shining black hood of a cobra.”

Knowledge about Srimati Radharani, Her relationship with Krishna, Her relationships with Her sakhis and gopi manjaris is expanded throughout the confidential literatures of Gaudiya Vaisnavism. In recent years these books are becoming more accessible to English speaking readers. We are becoming more aware, at least theoretically, that devotion to Srimati Radharani is the topmost expression of Krishna consciousness. Bhaktivinoda Thakura says in one of his songs, “Srimati Radhika is the teacher of

Power of mahaprasadam

 

2514844026?profile=original

 

 

 

Hare Krishna Prabhujis and Matajis,
Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. 

 

The power of Mahaprasadam should never be underestimated. In Srimad Bhagavatam we have the story of Srila Narada Muni's previous birth which he narrates to Srila Vyasadev about how he became such a powerful devotee. In his previous life, Narada muni was serving in the ashram of a few sages along with his mother who was a maid-servant. He says in Srimad Bhagavatam verse 1.5.25:

If God really exists, then show me God!

Hare Krsna!

If you ever speak to an atheist, they will often say, “If God really exists, then show me God.” How do we reply to that?

The answer is that we cannot see God with our material senses. He is spiritual, and our senses our material. Just like you cannot measure someone’s body temperature with a tape measure (a tape measure is for measuring length), so similarly you cannot “see” God with your material eyes. You need spiritual eyes.

And even if we could bring God here, how would an athiest r

Hareeeee! Hareeeee! ….Hareeeeee! Hareeeeee!

From all 10 directions These Names entered into my body through all pores of the skin. My heart cried:

This was a Sunday program which I first visited in Sri Sri Radha Gopinath Temple. Devotees told me to come to the Temple exactly at 12 PM, otherwise I will listen the lecture outside. I did as they told, occupied some place on the floor, putting my bag. Then

I’m sure you’re all aware of the global financial situation. So many economies are collapsing, and this is reflected on a local level, with so many families facing massive financial debt. Why are people in so much debt?

 

One simple reason why, is because we cannot control our spending. Credit cards provide us a facility to buy the goods now, with money that we don't actually have. This is fine, so long as we have control of our mind and senses, and we monitor how much we're spending. But when we

It’s late at night & you crawl back home, your eyes are red & your limbs are sore,

I’ll soon be happy, you promise yourself, I’ll need to slog, just a few years more.

The degrees, job, are soon yours, the Merc is parked outside your door.

But as you chill in your penthouse, Bro, you think, somehow, yeh dil mange more!

 

So on it goes, forever ma' friend, your search for happiness will ne’er end,
