History of Krishna Consciousness and its importance in the present age.
Veerendra Ekbote
The history of Krishna Consciousness or Krishna Bhakti begins at the dawn of creation when Lord Brahma appeared from the navel of Vishnu and glorified Bhagvan Krishna with his Brahma Samhita prayers and resumed with his duties of Universal creation. Thus began Brahma’s life which is known as Vikalpa and at present we are staying in a day of Brahm

हमारे ब्रह्मांड में प्रत्येक भौतिक पदार्थ 5 मूल तत्व अर्थात पृथ्वी, वायु, जल, अग्नि, तथा आकाश से निर्मित है | जिस प्रकार मिटटी, वायु, नदियाँ आदि आज प्रदूषित हैं, उसी प्रकार द्वापरयुग में भी सब कुछ बहुत अधिक प्रदूषित था | भगवान कृष्ण ने किस प्रकार अपनी मनमोहक आकर्षक लीलाओं से पाँचों मूल तत्वों को प्रदुषण से मुक्त किया, यह लेख इन्हीं लीलाओं पर आधारित है |

Octet for Lord Kṛishṇa’s Nativity Day
(1) We celebrate the eighth time that Lord Vishṇu took on flesh
As octave son on eighth day of the dark half of the moon.
O Kṛishṇa, in our heart’s eight-petalled lotus make Thy crèche!
We ask not for eight siddhis, for Thou art a better boon.
(2) To Thee bow Prithvi Mother Earth & Vāyu Airy Father,
With Sūrya of the Solar, Soma of the Lunar Path,
Varuṇa Water, Agni Fire, Mitra Lightsome Ether,

1. भगवान कौन हैं ?
भगवान हैं केवल श्री कृष्ण जो साकार हैं | वे समस्त कारणों के अन्तिम कारण हैं और न तो कोई उनके समान है और न ही उनसे बड़ा | ईश्वर: परम: कृष्ण: सच्चिदानन्द: विग्रह:, अनादिरादि गोविन्द: सर्व कारण कारणम: |
2. मैं कौन हूँ तथा मेरा और भगवान का क्या सम्बन्ध है ?
मै आत्मा हूँ, यह शरीर नहीं हूँ बल्कि भगवान का शाश्वत अंश व नित्य दास हूँ | भगवान हमारे अंतरंग स्वामी, मित्र, पिता, या पुत

Because of lack of transcendental knowledge, one is thinking, “Oh because of Krishna Consciousness, I will give up some happiness, like going to the movies at night.” Some kind of attachment is there.
There is a story about Sanatana Goswami’s servant. He asked Sanatana Goswami, “There is a party going on in the forest…there is a big festival. Could I go and participate?”
Sanatana Goswami said, “Festival?…in the middle of

“Any person who is conscious of his friend’s beneficent activities and never forgets his service is called grateful.” (NOD, Chap. 21, p. 166) Lord Krsnaa was grateful to Draupadî because while He was away from her, she cried with folded hands, “He Govinda!” Krsnastates, “This call for Me has put Me in her debt, and that indebtedness is gradually increa
Prayer Power
Before beginning Japa
Before beginning your Japa session, remember your Gurudeva, Srila Prabhupada and the disciplic succession and offer prayers to them.
Such meditative prayers may include:
I am by nature the eternal servant of Krsna. But because of my bad fortune, I have been inimical towards Krsna from time immemorial. Identifying with my body, I have been continuously wandering in the cycle of birth and death in the material world, suffering the burning three-fold miseries. As a r
Life is not a misery. One should live for hundred years by performing action without attachment. Life is not a bondage when it is looked with the proper light. Such a man of proper knowledge looks on all beings as his own Self and his Self as all beings. To him everything is his own Self, and he is not affected by grief, delusion or sorrow of any kind.
The Supreme Reality is indescribable. It is beyond the reach of the mind and the senses. It is beyond even the intellect. It is the light of all
Lord Krsna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, the Supersoul of all living entities, knows very well everyone's heart. He is especially inclined to the brahmana devotees. Lord Krsna is also called brahmanyadeva, which means that He is worshiped by the brahmanas. Therefore it is understood that a devotee who is fully surrendered unto the Supreme Personality of Godhead has already acquired the position of a brahmana. Without becoming a brahmana, one cannot approach the Supreme Brahman, Lord Krsna
Once the world was overburdened by the unnecessary defense force of different kings, who were actually demons, but were posing themselves as the royal order. At that time, the whole world became perturbed, and the predominating deity of this earth, known as Bhumi, went to see Lord Brahma to tell of her calamities due to the demoniac kings. Bhumi assumed the shape of a cow and presented herself before Lord Brahma with tears in her eyes. She was bereaved and was weeping just to invoke the lord's

Dear Devotee
My last newsletter was posted on Dandavats and some devotees felt that I had wrongly interpreted Prabhupada's statement that divorce is primarily the woman's fault when I stated that I find men equally responsible, if not more so, for many of our divorces. This newsletter sheds further light on this topic. I explain the nature of male and female psychology in order to clarify and expand upon the meaning of Prabhupada's statement that divorce is usually the woman's fault in a
The basic story Bheeshmak, the king of Vidarbha, had two children, Prince Rukmi and Princess Rukmini. Bheeshmak had heard many stories of Krishna's valor and secretly wished him to be his son-in-law. He knew that it might not be possible as Kans's father in law, Jarasandh, was their overlord and he was Krishna's sworn enemy.
Now Rukmi was a friend of Kans and owed his allegiance to Jarasandh. He wanted his
