So that one God is supplying the necessities of life. That is His condition. Suppose you are giving me all necessities of life. Then it is, the best part of my valor is to live under your control. That's all. I cannot be independent. It is not possible. That is the wrong philosophy, that these rascals are thinking of complete independence. That means they are becoming more and more conditioned by this material external energy.

Unfortunately, the managers of the office building did not share the optimistic views of Srila Prabhupada and his followers. They disapproved of our loud kirtanas and received constant complaints from the building's other occupants, protesting the strong, pungent odors which bellowed out from the rear window into the offices above whenever prasadam was prepared. Suddenly, without prior warning, the management served a t

Prabhupada's personal experiences and his instructions encouraged the devotees to carry on with their activities. Prabhupada worked with great concentration on his translation of the Bhagavatam, while Dayananda, in his off hours after work, looked for a new temple location, and the sankirtana party went out daily for chanting and Back to Godhead distribution. Prabhupada would still hold evening programs, but now, withou

Overall, Prabhupada was very pleased with this new facility. He was eager to establish Srila Prabhupada said a regular temple program as quickly as possible. It had not been easy for his disciples. Spread out in different locations, it had been difficult to keep everyone enthused. He had done as best as he could by holding regular evening classes, but without a proper temple, the preaching could not be developed properl

Bhagavad-Gita proposes, that is wonderful thing, if you can stop death. And whole spiritual life means how to stop death.

It is advised in the Bhagavatam, “Don’t accept guru, don’t be father, don’t be mother, if you cannot stop death.” Either you don’t accept, or don’t become. Just like they want a guru (spiritual master) – so don’t accept a guru who cannot stop you

Our sankirtana party had been going out daily, pushing Back to Godhead distribution and holding kirtanas throughout the city. The small house which we had rented was easy to maintain, and the low rent allowed us to save a major part of our collections. Prabhupada had discussed with me the possibility of a world tour beginning in Europe, and I had been saving money with this in mind. Our days were free of worry as we conc

Just few weeks before His Holiness Bhakti Tirtha Swami Maharaj left this world, His Holiness had requested Srila Guru Maharaja to visit the West African countries and to care for His disciples there. Since the time His Holiness Bhakti Tirtha Swami left this material world, Srila Guru Maharaja had visited Ghana and Nigeria once in the Year 2006 and 2007 respectively. Unfortunately, Srila Guru Maharaja had not visited the West African countries ever since Srila Guru Maharaja fell ill in 2008.

Prabhupada: Unless we are very sincere, we cannot cope with maya. That is not possible. If you remain a servant of maya, you cannot conquer over maya. You must be very sincere servant of Krsna. Then you can conquer. Mam eva ye prapadyante mayam etam taranti te. It is clearly said. Otherwise you are subjected to the tricks of maya.

Q: What is the process to achieve the ultimate goal of life-love of God ? Please explain each step in this process.
