Our very dear Godbrother, Shyamlal Prabhu, left his body on the evening of 5th January in Durban, South Africa. I was in Pune, India, at that time. However, as soon as I received that news I decided to go to Durban to bid my farewell to him. I immediately made changes to my schedule and drove to Mumbai to catch a flight to South Africa.
The funeral took place on the morning of 7th of January 2014 and I was fortunate enough to be there in time to attend that ceremony. Thousands of Shyamlal Pr

Next question will be that "I have to give up the bad company. Who is bad?" Then He says, next line: asat stri sangi 'krsnabhakta' ara. Two words. Those who are too much attached to woman and those who are not devotees of Krsna, they are bad. So Caitanya Mahaprabhu says give up the company of these two bad men, that's all. That is Vaisnava. So ev

Nachiketa's story in the Kathopanishad begins when his wealthy father, Vajashravas, is to perform a special sacrifice. The sacrifice required Vajashravas to give all his wealth, all his possessions, and distribute them to the great seers and Brahmins.

Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Thakur said that in Krsna consciousness, one must be prepared to change his life and not just a little, not just partial but rather that this Krsna consciousness is a total revolution. So, it means that we have to be prepared to change completely and there is nothing in us that cannot be changed.
