There are many different kinds of living entities -- human beings, demigods, animals, etc. -- and each and every one of them is under the influence of material nature, and all of them have forgotten the transcendent Personality of Godhead. Those who are in the modes of passion and ignorance, and even those who are in the mode of goodness, cannot go beyond the impersonal Brahman conception of the Absolute Truth. They are bewildered before the Supreme Lord in His personal feature, which possesses

The Bhagavad-Gita is teaching real religion. Real religion means the word of God, no one else’s word and one who humbly & submissively hears the word of God and repeats that word. What is the qualification to preach the Gita? Not to be a great scholar, not to be necessarily be a bhahman by birth, not to be a gyani who can speculate and invent all sorts of beautiful and wonderful analogies to attract people’s minds, not

Life, as we have heard, is how we make it.
If we took time reflecting on this statement we might discover it is actually true.
People often say life is not fair, actually that’s true. Life doesn't choose who will be rich or poor, who will be successful or not. Who does then? Actually it's we.
It’s been discovered that some people spend most of their time speaking about negative things that happened to them or those they h

Now the Communists, they want dictatorship. That is welcome, provided that particular dictator is trained like Maharaja Yudhisthira. Not that simply by votes of some rascal population one becomes dictatorship, another rascal comes. Another big rascal comes. Just like in the Communist country the Stalin was their dictator. And in the historical record it is said that he is the greatest criminal in the history of the worl

There once was a farmer who discovered that he had lost his watch in the barn. It was no ordinary watch because it had sentimental value for him. After searching high and low in the hay for a long time, he gave up and enlisted the help of a group of children playing outside the barn. He promised them that the person who found it would be rewarded. Hearing this, the children hurried inside the barn, went through and arou

The purport of the instruction to accept only as much material enjoyment as necessary is that one should not accept material enjoyment for sense gratification. Rather, one should acceptonly as much material enjoyment as will help one establish his relationship with Lord Krishna.

As soon as a living entity becomes free from materialcontamination by the strength of devotional service, he attainsliberation. But liberation is an irrelevant fruit of devotionalservice, not the principal fruit. Pure love of Krishna is theprincipal fruit of Sadhana-bhakti, and it can be achieved byliberated souls.

SB 4.22.52 - Since a pure devotee knows how to utilize everything for the Lord’s service, he is never affected by material activities. Instead, by his transcendental plans he purifies such activities.
SB 4.31.18 - The Supreme Personality of Godhead is never affected by the material qualities, although they all emanate from His spiritual energy. Those who are really conversant with this knowledge can utilize everything f

As long as a man is in the full vigor of life, he forgets the naked truth of death, which he has to meet. Thus a foolish man makes no relevant inquiry about the real problems of life. Everyone thinks that he will never die, although he sees evidence of death before his eyes at every second. Here is the distinction between animalism and humanity. An animal like a goat has no sense of its impending death. Although its broth

Neither it can be seen or touched or felt but its existence is undeniable. Just like the tsunami waves it does not have any emotions, it entraps and swallows all. The high and the mighty, the poor and the meek, men and women, every being of this world has to bow to it and have to surrender to its dictum. The “Time”, the mightiest of all is unstoppable and unconquerable. The might of “time” has always remained unchallenged and will remain so for ever. Time annihilates everything. “Time” underlin
