My opinion on congregational preaching in ISKCON is that full-time devotees must facilitate the congregational devotees. The most important thing is to understand the needs, interests and concerns of the people who are interested in Krishna consciousness. I think it is very important that devotees don’t presume to know what it is that people actually want from Krishna consciousness. The needs of the congregation may be different from what we think they really are. We

Therefore, Arjuna, you should always think of Me in the form of Krsna and at the same time carry out your prescribed duty

When a person knows the goal of life but is addicted to the fruits of activities, he is acting in karma-yoga. When he knows that the goal is Krsna, but he takes pleasure in mental speculations to understand Krsna, he is acting in jnana-yoga. And when he knows the goal and seeks Krsna completely in Krsna consciousness and devotional service, he is acting in bhakti-yoga, or buddhi-yoga, which is the complete yoga. This complete yoga is the highest perfectional stage of life.

                                                                                  One of the most unavoidable phenomena of living entities is 'Death'. This is really significant among the imperfections of life ( Janma,Mrutyu,Jara,Byadhi,Dukha,Dosanudarsana ). Therefore, Lord Shrikrishna, in his Bhagbat Gita, says " Those who do not accept me under influence of illusion, I come to them as true as Death "

Prabhupada: Yes. So by association with devotee, by hearing, hearing, sravanadi... Sravanadi means hearing... Beginning is hearing. If you patiently hear, then that dormant God consciousness again becomes revived. Yes. Then his life is successful.

In Central America and parts of South America hardly anybody lives in the temples anymore. It is not like the old days when we were crammed in the temples. In the early days of the movement, Srila Prabhupada us live in the temples to keep nice association, but most devotees get married and are forced to accept a new reality.

This congregational preaching is very important, and I wish it could be developed much more, because without a doubt it is the program of

                                                                As is known,real God realization is both very easy & very difficult/impossible. This is just because of the nature of the concept, i.e. exact relation between spirit soul & Supreme Soul that is so shuttle & extremely delicate. Therefore the great Spiritual teachers have emphasized on certain key points to be kept in mind without interruption and discontinuance. Thus,the ev

संस्कृत के बारे में आश्चर्यजनक तथ्य -----

1. कंप्यूटर में इस्तेमाल के लिए सबसे अच्छी भाषा। संदर्भ: - फोर्ब्स पत्रिका 1987.

2. सबसे अच्छे प्रकार का कैलेंडर जो इस्तेमाल किया जा रहा है, हिंदू कैलेंडर है (जिसमें नया साल सौर प्रणाली के भूवैज्ञानिक परिवर्तन के साथ शुरू होता है) संदर्भ: जर्मन स्टेट यूनिवर्सिटी.
