Srila Prabhupada Vani

Hare Krsna

Please accept my humble obeisance. All glories to Srila Prabhupada

 

Srila Prabhupada could not sleep from yesterday afternoon until 3:00 a.m.  Srila Prabhupada said the cause was the kaviraja's medicine.  He was still unable to translate.

I asked Srila Prabhupada whether Abhirama's wife could cook.  Srila Prabhupada said, "No.  In my party there are so many young men.  Butter and fire must act.  There is no exception.  And anyway, where is appetite?"  Later, Prabhupada encouraged her by

Aspire to become KRISHNA'S DOG! ^_^

Question to Radhanath Swami: I have often heard that a devotee should be Krishna’s dog, ready to do everything to serve him. Being a beginner on the path of bhakti this kind of surrender seems to be too high an ideal. How should I adjust my life with this principle?Radhanath Swami: To be Krishna’s dog is our aspiration and we may be many miles or light years away from that ideal, but we must hold that ideal as sacred in our hearts. When we hear about Krishna’s pastimes in Vrindavan—especially th

Question to Radhanath Swami: Many things written in Vedas are unbelievable. For example, it is said in the Ramayana that Hanuman wanted to swallow the whole sun. How do we understand this?Radhanath Swami Answers: You have seen little ants on the ground. How much can an ant lift? And how much can you lift? You can lift probably 100 pounds. Is there any ant on earth that can lift 100 pounds? No. An ant cannot comprehend what you are doing. They do not have the intelligence to comprehend what a hum

Question to Radhanath Swami: It is said in the Bhagvatam that with every rising and setting of the sun the life span of a person reduces, except when a devotee is performing Bhakti Yoga and hearing about the activities of Krishna. Could you kindly explain this?Radhanath Swami Answers: For one who is endeavoring to make this body a better place for selfish enjoyment, with every moment the duration of life is reducing; therefore, factually, death is one moment closer. An old person would give anyt

The Killing of the Demons Kesi and Vyoma

pic38.jpg



1. The demon Kesi, sent by Kamsa, appeared in Vraja as a great horse. Running with the speed of the mind, he tore up the earth with his hooves. The hairs of his mane scattered the clouds and the demigods’ airplanes throughout the sky, and he terrified everyone present with his loud neighing. When the supreme Personality of Godhead saw how the demon was frightening His village of Gokula by ne

2514952658?profile=original



One day, Sri Radha and Her sakhis were picking flowers here when Krsna suddenly arrived and said,"Who are you? Everyday, you steal floweres from My garden."

Hearing this, Srimati Radhika rebuked Him,"You don't know who I am?".

Saying no more, Krsna placed His flute to His lips and began to play, casting charming glances at Radha as He walked away. The very sight of Krsna leaving greatly distressed Radha, who fainted in seperation from Him

Mangalacarana verse of Bhagavat_arca_marici_mala by Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura.



O my Lord, Sri Krsna, son of Vasudeva, O all-pervading Personality of Godhead, I offer my respectful obeisances unto You. I meditate upon Lord Sri Krsna because He is the Absolute Truth and the primeval cause of all causes of the creation, sustenance and destruction of the manifested universes. He is directly and indirectly conscious of all manifestations, and He is independent because there is no other cause beyond H

Once, Krsna warned Srimati Radhika to be cautious of Devarsi Narada. "Devarsi is a sage whose nature is very complicated," He said. "Sometimes he causes disputes between father and son, mother and father or husband and wife. It is best to always be cautious of him." But Srimatiji did not take particular heed of Krsna's words.

And so it happened that one day Lalita picked beli, cameli, and other flowers from the forest and began to string
