What is the best example of love of Krishna ?

Hare Krsna

Please accept my humble obeisance. All glories to Srila Prabhupada

 

 
 
When the living entity feels spiritual separation from Krishna (Krishna viraha), he has achieved the prime success of life. When one becomes disinterested in material things, he is simply experiencing the other side of attraction for material things. However, feeling separation from Krishna and engaging in the service of the Lord to fulfill His mission constitute the best example of love of Krishna. Sri Caitanya Mahäp

What process should a practitioner who is full of anarthas follow
in the course of chanting the holy names ?
 
 
Every day a person should give up the disturbance caused by materialenjoyment and chant with love for a while in a solitary place.  Gradually heshould try to increase the duration of this process. Finally, a wonderfulmood will be awakened in him and will remain constantly.

The Lord Feels Pain

Hare Krsna

Please accept my humble obeisance. All glories to Srila Prabhupada

 

In his purport to Srimad Bhagavatam verse 9.4.68, Srila Prabhupada writes, "The Lord says, 'saadhavo hrdayam mahyam' - The pure devotee is always within the core of My heart." The Lord's feelings are like those of a father, who feels pain when his child is in pain. Therefore, offences at the lotus feet of a devotee are serious. Caitanya Mahaprabhu has very strongly recommended that one not commit any offence at the lotu

By His Grace Aniruddha Dasa

Four core activities are found in every ISKCON community: book distribution, prasada distribution, harinama and deity worship. These programs are our outreach. So as long as we are doing these activities, we will attract people to Krishna consciousness.

Not everybody is going to live in the temple because the temples are not big enough, for a start, and also because the householders have to have jobs to maintain themselves. If they are sincere devotees, then they will a

Mahabharata

The war lasted eighteen days, and it was every bit as ugly as the vision Arjuna had received, every bit as ugly as any war has ever been. The war was corrupting: at some point or another during it, virtually every warrior, including Yudhishtira and Arjuna, resorted to trickery and deceit to accomplish his purpose. Bhima fulfilled his vows; he killed all hundred of Dritarashtra’s sons, and broke the old blind hero’s heart.The great war of the Bharatas destroyed all the promise in the world and al

The Advent of Lord Krishna

Krishna was born in a tense historical period preceeding a devastating war. The warring factions built up so many weapons that the burden on the earth became unbearable. Finally the goddess of Earth took the form of a cow and prayed to Lord Brahma for relief. Lord Brahma called all the demigods to the shore of the Milk Ocean to hear Mother Earth and to worship the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Lord Vishnu. Lord Brahma fell into trance reciting the Vedic hymns known a

Sri Sri Radha Krishna Pastimes

"When Srimati Radharani first saw Krishna, She suddenly became conscious of all transcendental happiness, and the functions of Her different limbs were stunned.

When this story was being narrated by Sukadeva Gosvami, Maharaja Pariksit became eager to hear more about Krsna's childhood pastimes. He inquired from Sukadeva Gosvami how Krsna chastised Kaliya, who was living in the water for many years. Actually, Maharaja Pariksit was becoming more

When to pray ?

Hare Krsna

Please accept my humble obeisance. All glories to Srila Prabhupada

 

What is prayer and when do we pray? As per our acaryas and scriptures prayer is glorification of the Supreme Lord, a way of communion with the Lord, accepting His Supremacy and our insignificant position. It is also a way of expressing our gratitude to God. If we realise the truth of the above statement, then actually we should be praying all the time ferverently. But most of the time our prayers are result oriented. Wh
