All the conditioned fallen souls or Jivatmas have taken birth in this material world in a particular Kaya
As we are ignorant about the presence of Parmatma in us due to being conditioned by Maya
What keeps the Spirit Soul ignorant from the path of Self-realization in the material world and of performing Bhakti to the Supreme Lord Hari
It is the Spirit Soul’s forgetf

भगवान ने सर्वप्रथम ब्रह्मा जी को श्रीमद् भागवतम का सार; भगवान से हमारा सम्बन्ध, उस सम्बन्ध में हमारे कार्य तथा जीवन का लक्ष्य, इन 4 श्लोक में (चतु:श्लोकी) प्रदान किया |

Once Krishna was happily playing in his home. Just then, he heard at a distance, a fruit seller’s voice. She was trying to sell her fruits. She called, “Juicy fruits, buy juicy fruits.” Little Krishna’s mouth started watering at the thought of those nice juicy fruits. He looked around in the house to see what he could find in exchange. He had seen His parents bartering grains for other goods. He grabbed a handful of grains from the house and ran towards the fruit seller. His tiny hands could ho
After tying Krishna With Mortar (Ukhal) Yashoda set about doing some household job. Krishna sat down on his knees and caused the mortar to tumble down so that it could roll when drawn. Now he began to crawl on his knees towards the twin trees standing in front of the house.The twin trees were, in fact, the two sons of Kubera--the god of wealth. Their names were Nalkuber and Manigreev. It was because of a curse that they had been turned to trees. The story goes that once these two brothers, after

Prabhupada: No. Yes, it is not possible. But you can do everything by becoming Krsna conscious. That is the advantage of Krsna consciousness. Krsna says, aham tvam sarva-papebhyo moksayisyami [Bg. 18.66]. You cannot get out of sinful action, but Krsna can do it. Therefore He says, "I'll get you released." You cannot get released; therefore He says, "I'll do that."
