Thought Of The Day

Anyone who has fully surrendered to Krsna, he is no more debtor to anyone. And Krsna says that "You surrender to Me, and I shall keep you protected from all kinds of..." Because if you don't repay your debts, then you become sinful. But Krsna says, "I shall protect for all kinds of sin." So if anyone has surrendered to Krsna, he is no more debtor to anyone. He is immune from all obligation. His only obligation is to Krsna.

The Attitude Of Gratitude

By Vinay Raniga.Courtesy: Iskcon NewsAt the age of fifteen, I walked in. My pupils still dilating to the darkness, I looked around the place every teen dreamed of shopping in: Abercrombie & Fitch. It was the “stars on the rise experience” for me then: strong perfume and cologne, expensive clothing, and jaw-droppingly attractive people modeling the cloths they were selling. Only after a short wander in, I felt spellbound by the styles, but bewildered by the price tags. I concluded it was best not

हे कृष्ण
बैठा था मै तुझे ही याद करने के लिए
दूध वाला, सब्जी वाला
याद आया गॉव का हलवाई
मगर तू याद न आया l
शहर की घुटन ,माँ का आँचल
याद आई दादी के आँगन की चटाई

याद आई बच्चो की पढ़ाई
मगर तू याद न आया l
कुछ जो जिन्दा है
जो चले गए याद आई उनकी परछाई
मगर तू याद न आया l
भूत से पछताया, भविष्य ने डराया
याद आई वर्तमान की कठिनाई
मगर तू याद न आया l

Caitanya Mahaprabhu has recommended that everyone chant the Hare Krishna mantra just to cleanse the dust from the heart. If the dust of the heart is cleansed away, then one can actually understand the importance of the holy name. Nectar of Devotion, Chapter 12, Srila Prabhupada

srila-prabhupada-writting-2

Q: What are different debts a person owes to demigods, sages, forefathers, living entities, etc. ?

Ans: Srila Prabhupada writes in his purport of verse Cc madhya 22.140 ‘After birth, every man is indebted in so many ways.

He is indebted to the demigods for their supplying necessities like air, light and water.

When one takes advantage of the Vedic literatures, one becomes indebted to great sages like Vyāsadeva, Nārada, Devala and Asita.

पुराने समय में, आपमें से कुछ लोगों ने महान अभिनेता राजकपूर की एक मूवी “जिस देश में गंगा बहती है” देखी होगी | यह मूवी चम्बल के बीहड़ों में डाकुओं के जीवन पर आधारित थी | इस मूवी का नायक जो एक सीधा सादा ईमानदार व्यक्ति होता है, इन डाकुओं को समाज की मुख्य धारा में लौटाने की कोशिश करता रहता है और अन्त में सफल भी हो जाता है | उस मूवी का एक गीत “आ अब लौट चलें” भी शायद सुना होगा | यह कहानी और इस ल

Śrī Naṛasimhāshṭakam by Rudra dāsa

Śrī Naṛasimhāshṭakam

 

(1) Thy fangs’ sharp flash & sparking breath set all our hearts ablaze,

Chimeric God in shimm’ring mane of gold with crimson highlight.

Like blue in golden flame is Vishṇu’s shade in lion’s face,

Appearing in the night-blue day-gold mingled hues of twilight.

 

(2) Within Thy burnished mane Thine eyes are red coals in a brazier

That burn away our mental imperfections, soul’s Protector!

Fierce Savior, cut our hearts free from its knots with claws’ keen razor!

Shake out Thy bright blon

Śrī Vasudevāshṭakam by Rudra dās

Śrī Vasudevāshṭakam

 

(1) So comfortably attired in Thy saffron robes of silk;

So tired from Thy constant work as cosmos’s Upkeeper;

Supine upon Thy serpent couch across the sea of milk…

O Vasudeva, waken in my heart, Thou sacred Sleeper!

 

(2)   Thou danced on Kāliya’s snake heads & with each pretty Gopi,

And claimed the three worlds with Thy strides, the universe’s Leaper,

So why so still within my heart, just dreaming, drooping dopey?

O Vasudeva, waken in my heart, Thou sacred Sleeper!

 

(3)   Oh how to
