“I am working hard, day and night. Despite of winter or summer or rainy season, I have to work hard, day and night. If there is night duty in the winter season, I have to report to the office at twelve o’clock at night. So I must go. When there is snowfall, and if I don’t go, then I’ll be reported absent. So I am working so v

At 4:00 a.m., Srila Prabhupada called for me and Srila Prabhupada said, "I think whatever money you are giving Vrindaban, he will spoil in business.  They are getting together about two thousand rupees.  So let them chant Hare Krsna and eat and sleep.  He has no business brain.  He should not be given a farthing.  The postal receipts may be given to the respective members."

Then Prabhupada had me call Vrindaban and he sp

This morning, Srila Prabhupada suggested going on parikrama of the temple.  Srila Prabhupada said we could parikrama all of Vrndavana on a stretcher.  He had us give him a gentle massage, which he liked, saying that the professional massage was for a horse.  Shortly thereafter, however, Prabhupada began feeling bad.  Srila Prabhupada said, "Now I have become poisonous.  Everyone is staying away from me."  We all said th

Yesterday, 25th May, turned out to be a day when I realised the power of prayer by devotees.

I was suffering from a bad throat since last 2 days and 24th evening was worst. When I woke up around 6am on 25th morning I felt terrible.

I drank some warm water, then I somehow remembered that Atma Prabhu had told me to take Neem ca

We are all innately pleasure-seeking.
Gita wisdom explains that we being souls, eternal parts of Krishna, can find the supreme pleasure by serving him with loving devotion. For those who don’t have such devotion and primarily seek worldly pleasures, the Gita recommends scriptural sacrifices that help them attain those pleasures. More importantly, such sacrifices instill an ethos of selflessness and infuse an awareness of the divine. This gradually paves the way for the awakening of selfless love

The essential need within every living being is to seek pleasure. What do people do for pleasure? Now, different types of living entities have different standards of pleasure and they work in different ways to achieve them. For a little ant, the pleasure is a grain of sugar.
For a moth, its pleasure is light. And we’ve seen what they’ll do to attain that grain of sugar, how hard they will work to achieve that light, even taking the risk of their lives. For some people, their pleasure is to sati

Many people (especially my peers and friends from school) seem to understand why I don't eat meat. But they're always rendered perplexed  when I tell them I also don't eat onion and garlic. While people are now getting used to the term, "vegetarianism", going "onion and garlic less" is still weird and unusual to many. Why don't we eat onion and garlic? There are many reasons why:

2) They increase ignorance and passion. 

3) Distracts us from being focused/
