The Indescribable Beauty of Srimati Radharani


The Indescribable Beauty of Srimati Radharani


Sri Radha - Radharani - Radhika

"O Radharani, O Queen of Vrindavana, Your complexion is like molten gold, Your doe-like eyes are captivatingly restless, a million full and brilliant moons wane before Your lustrous countenance, and a blue sari, having stolen the hue of a fresh rain-laden cloud, has enwrapped Your exquisite form. O Radha, You are the crest-jewel of all the dallying damsels of Vrindavana, fragrant and pristine like a budding jasmine flower. Your sublime form is adorned

A group of frogs was hopping contentedly through the woods, going about its froggy business, when two of them fell into a deep pit. All the other frogs gathered around the pit to see what could be done to help their companions. When they saw the depth of the pit, however, they became dismayed and agreed that they had no hope of rescuing their friends. They told the frogs in the pit that they should prepare for death. No

Hare krsna

 

Can’t we enjoy in this life and engage ourselves in Krishna’s service in our next life? Prahlāda Mahārāja answers, “We are now in material entanglement. Now I have this body, but I will quit this body after a few years and then have to accept another body. Once you take up one body and enjoy as your body’s senses dictate, you prepare another body by such sense enjoyment, and you get another body as you want it.” There is no guarantee that you will get a human body. That will depend on

London, 1968

London, 1968

Swamiji had complete faith in Krishna and faith that his disciples’ bold, enthusiastic, and confident preaching would establish Krishna consciousness in Europe just as it had in North America. At Swamiji’s request, the same three couples who had started the San Francisco temple Mukunda and Janaki, Syamasundara and Malati (now with their infant daughter, Sarasvati), and Gurudasa and Yamuna went to London.

In London, with little money, living as separate couples in different parts of th

One day an astrologer came who was said to know everything—past, present and future. Thus Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu received him with all honor and put this question before him. “Please tell Me who I was in My previous birth,” the Lord said. “Please tell Me by your astrological computations.” Hearing the words of the Lord, the astrologer immediately began to calculate. [Chaitanya Charitamrita - Ādi 17.103-104]

Draupadi And Lord Krishna

Hare Krsna

Please accept my humble obeisance. All glories to Srila Prabhupada

 

Once during the Sankranti Festival, Draupadi happened to be in Lord Krishna's residence. Lord Krishna was enjoying and sharing with them fresh sugar cane of the season. While cutting a piece of cane, his little
finger got injured. Blood began to ooze out. 
The queens ran to their apartments and started frantically searching their wardrobes for a piece of
coarse cloth to bandage the wound. But Draupadi, who was seated at th

Food For The Soul

Please accept my humble obeisance. All glories to Srila Prabhupada

 

A temple-goer wrote a letter to the editor of a newspaper and complained that it made no sense to go
to temple every weekend.
"I've gone for 30 years now," he wrote, "and in that time I have heard something like 3,000 discourses. But for the life of me, I can't remember a single one of them. So, I think I'm wasting my time and the Swamiji are wasting theirs by giving discourses at all."
This started a real controversy in t

Madana, or Cupid means sex attraction and Krishna is called Madana-mohana. One can neglect even sex attraction if one is attracted to Krishna. Madana is attracting in this material world – everyone is attracted by sex life. The whole material world exists on sex life. This is the fact. Yan maithunādi-grhamedhi-suhkham hi tuccham. Here, the so-called happiness – is maithuna, or sex. Here happiness begins from sexual inte

Narada Muni

Sometimes a saintly person is misunderstood bygrhasthas(householders), especially when he instructs their young sons to accept Krishna consciousness. Generally a grhastha thinks that unless one enters grhastha life he cannot properly enter the renounced order. If a young man immediately adopts the path of the renounced order in accordance with the instructions of Nārada or a member of his disciplic succession

Please accept my humble obeisance. All glories to Srila Prabhupad

In this material world, if a man is very rich, he attracts – everybody speaks about him. Although one may be a nonsense number one but if he has got money, everyone will speak about him. At least in this age it is going on. Nobody considers anything but if, somehow or the other, one becomes very rich, he becomes a popular figure. So God must be the richest.

God is great

Hare Krsna

Please accept my humble obeisance. All glories to Srila Prabhupada

 

Many people claim, "God is great," but this is a hackneyed phrase. One must know how He is great, and that can be known from authorized scripture. In the Bhagavad-gita God describes Himself. He says, "My appearance of taking birth just like an ordinary human being is actually transcendental." God is so kind that He comes before us as an ordinary human being, but His body is not exactly like a human body.
