College Preaching Success

Thank you, Vijaya prabhu, for the wonderful service of churning and sending out the sankirtan nectar. The following is a recent response from a student in Boulder. We recently met with him for a couple of days, upon returning to Colorado. He is already organizing a Krishna conscious club on campus. It is inspiring to see Srila Prabhupada's words penetrating the hearts of these sincere seekers.

Your servant and friend, Tusta Krsna das

Hey Tusta,

The sparrow challenged the ocean, “Return my eggs else I will dry you”. Hearing this ocean started laughing. The ocean had stolen the eggs of the sparrow and the little bird wanted her eggs badly. She was determined to get it back. And so with her tiny little peek she took a few drops of water from the ocean and threw it on the surface. She did it again and again. Everyone was amused; the ocean could not control his laughter. But nothing deterred the sparrow. She continued with her endeavour wit

Memorial for "Mr. Rathayatra" - by Devamrita Swami

A memorial for the great ISKCON devotee Jayananda Prabhu, "Mr. Rathayatra," who departed in 1976 at the age of 38, has been a discussion topic at the GBC meetings in Mayapur. As Haridas Thakur wanted to leave this world before Mahaprabhu, so Jayananda, a master of selfless service and sacrifice, wanted to leave this world before Srila Prabhupada.

Kesava Bharati Maharaja tells how during the intense weeks preceding a San Francisco Rathayatra, he

Lecture By H.H.Bhakti Vikasa Swami Maharaj

So better to leave it to use on senior devotees, Guru’s and maharaj’s and if you have time use it for reading and distributing srila prahupada’s books.

I myself is not on face book,I decided that not to go in too much,So many people ask me ‘add me as friend’.I believe that it should be used only for preaching purpose.Because of Facebook our senses became impersonal, We are not meeting with people in real. And there is no direct contact. It creates intim

Appearance Day of Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura

Sri Sacidananda Bhaktivinoda Thakura appeared in 1838 in a wealthy family in the Nadia district, West Bengal. He revealed that he is an eternal associate of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu by his extraordinary preaching activities and prolific writing. Living as a, mahabhagavata Vaisnava, he stayed in the grhasta ashram until the last few years of his life. Then he renounced everything, accepted babaji, and entered samadhi, totally absorbed in the loving serv

Acceptance of sannyasa by Srila Prabhupada

“One night, Abhay had an unusual dream. Srila Bhaktisiddhanta appeared before him, beckoning. He was asking Abhay to leave home and take sannyasa. Abhay awoke in an intensely emotional state, “How horrible!” He thought. He knew it was not an ordinary dream, yet the request seemed so difficult and unlikely. Take sannyasa! At least it was not something he could do immediately. Now he had to improve the business, and with the profits he would print books. H

The Smile Of A Krishna Conscious Person

“That is the way of Krishna consciousness.  Pure devotees are so absorbed in thought of Krishna that they have no other engagement; although they may seem to think or act otherwise, they are always thinking of Krishna.  The smile of such a Krishna conscious person is so attractive that simply by smiling he wins so many admirers, disciples and followers.” (from purport to Srimad Bhagavatam, 3.22.21)

Srimad Bhagavatam By His Divine Grace

While Lord Chaitanya was at the temple to see the deity of Jagannatha, thousands of people were in front of Him also seeing the deity. Suddenly, a woman who was unable to see Jagannatha through the crowd, climbed the column of Garuda that was just in front of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, placing her foot on His shoulder to get up. Govinda, Chaitanya Mahaprabhu's personal secretary, hastily got her down. Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, however, chastised Govinda for this. When the woman came to her senses, she be

We can cite innumerable instances from the Vedas, which illustrate concepts similar to concepts from modern sci­ence. Modern scientists are wonder-struck on seeing these strik­ing  similarities  and they cannot even imagine how such great truths were written down at a time when there were no sophisti­cated instruments. A few examples showing similarities in the  knowledge obtained from science and the Vedas are:

15 Places to See Krishna

(Compiled from notes on lectures of H. H. Mahavishnu Goswami)

People often demand ‘Show me God, and I will believe in Him’. As Srila Prabhupada often said, "God is present everywhere, but we do not have the eyes to see Him." In Bhagavad gita Krishna tells in five illuminating verses 7.8-12 at least 15 places where we can see Krishna. In Rajkot last year (2006), our spirit

BHAGWAN SRI KRISHNA IN MY WALLET

A small but touching story with a deep message.

A ticket collector in a train found an old worn out wallet in a compartment full of many people. He looked inside to find the name of its owner. There was no clue. All that there was in it, was some money and a picture of Bhagwan Sri Krishna. He held it up and asked, 'Who does this wallet belong to?'

An old man said, 'That's my wallet, please give it to me.' The ticket collector said, 'You'll have to prove that it is y
