I’m not saying you know, somehow or other, if the chocolate tastes good put a rubber band around your tongue or something because you know you just did the wrong thing. No. There’s a natural pleasure that comes from, well Bhagavad Gita analyses it by saying the contact with the senses with their objects: that I see something nice, my fingers touch something nice, you hear something nice, contact of the senses, with, an object, of the sense. That results in a certain amount of pleasure. Okay. We

We see how Uddhava is completely absorbed in serving Krishna, in remembering Krishna and in particularly the eternal activities of Krishna. Therefore Uddhava automatically is a resident of the spiritual world. That is his constant focus he is just absorbed in the relationship with Krishna. Not absorbed in the relationship with the environment:

Where are we now? What are the conditions like with the weather? What are the people we are with like? Are we sitting nice and cushy? And so on.

This brings up the question of who Radharani is and what Radha-Krsna is.
Actually Radha-Krsna is the exchange of love. This is not ordinary love;
 Krsna has immense potencies, of which three are principal: internal, external and marginal.
The internal hladini potency is the pleasure potency.
All living entities have this pleasure-seeking potency, for all beings are trying to have pleasure.
    This is the very nature of the living entity. At present we are trying to enjoy our pleasure

THE THIRD OFFENSE is to minimize or blaspheme the order of the spiritual master. The spiritual master gives the holy name. Sampradäya-vihénä ye manträs te niñphalä matäù. Unless you receive the mantra from the spiritual master in sampradäya, it will not have effect. One reason that I chant japa with my disciples each morning is to emphasize the connection between chanting and receiving the mantra from the spiritual master. Unless we have received the mantra in sampradäya it will not have effect.

THE SECOND OFFENSE is to take the names of the demigods, like Brahmä and Siva, to be equal to or independent of the name of Lord Viñëu, or Kåñëa. We see this offense especially in those mistaught in the name of Hinduism or Vedic culture that there are many gods and they are all the same. No. Kåñëas tu bhagavän svayam: Kåñëa is the Supreme Personality of Godhead. He has many names, but only the names of the Supreme Lord are in the category of hari-näma kértana, and they cannot be compared to thes

THE FIRST OFFENSE is to blaspheme those persons who have actually dedicated their lives to spreading the glories of the Lord, the Supreme Personality of Godhead. This is called vaiñëava-aparädha. We usually think first of the guru, guru-aparädha, but this offense refers to all devotees, even the so-called little devotees with whom we are living.
Devotee means anyone who is actually surrendered to the teachings of God. You cannot indulge in faultfinding or criticizing such a person. One who has de

This day celebrates the victory of Lord Krishna over the demon Narakasura. Krishna Paksha Chaturdashi of the month of Karttika is known as Naraka Chaturdashi. Bhaumasura, who was also known as Narakasura was the son of Dharitri, the earth goddess, by the Lord Himself. But he became a demon due to the bad association of Bana, another demon. An atheist is called a demon, and it is a fact that even a person born of good par

One night there was a woman at the airport who had to wait for several hours before catching her next flight. While she waited she bought a book and a pack of biscuits to spend the time. She looked for a place to sit and waited.

She was deep into her book, when suddenly she realized that there was a young man sitting next to her who was stretching his hand and, with no concern whatsoever, and grabbing the pack of cookies
