Few days back I was looking back at my short spiritual journey and wondering how so many bad vices are having less effect on me now. I know for sure that it is not that suddenly I have developed a great will power.
I realised that the major factor which helps me is my acceptance and acknowledgment that Paramatama is sitting with in my heart. It took me some time but once I started `experiencing' Him it became very difficult for me to overlook Him. When I `do' something which isn't ri

Before I started the Bhagavad Gita study group one of the best advice I got was from HG Asit Prabhuji. I had called him, anxious on what I was about to start. He gave few priceless gems which I am sharing
1. Do not think that people who come will stay for the deep philosophy they would hear. They will stay in the group if I serve them with genuine love and care.
2. Never ever feel superior to the newcomers, serve them will all my heart. Always remain humble from the heart, always in a
It is because of this, the living entity only looks within the limited material energy with Godless instruments like the Large Hadron Collider for the cause and purpose of his existence.
Even then, while in the biological gross material body, the embodied living entity is only capable of viewing a small percentage of the entire material energy with such devices, which is less than 5% of the material universe known as gross matter.
The other 95% is subtle matter that is undetectable by using the

I have always been more interested in philosophy in my journey of Krishna consciousness though I started a liking for `kathaa' in the last few months. Some time back I downloaded a 7 day Bhagavad Katha by HG Sarvabhouma Prabhuji and during a conversation with Karuna Prabhuji, Punjabi Bagh temple, I shared with him how much I relished it. It was full of nectar. He agreed with me and asked me if I have heard lectures of HH Radha Govind Maharaj. I rep
Hare Krishna.
The next three days were in complete bliss of Hari Nama and association of wonderful devotees.
Day 2: Maharaj touched the below topics
a. Role of japa in Bhakti and mechanical chanting.
b. Forgiveness and Humility
c. Preparing for 64 rounds of japa on day 3rd
Maharaj spoke how it is very important to do our japa early in the morning and we should try to fix a sitting place for the same. This place should not not offer any distractions while we are chanting our Japa. He also stressed tha

"There is no doubt about it: to distribute books is one most important activity. The temple is not a place for eating & sleeping, but a base from which we send out our soldiers to fight with maya. Fight with maya means to drop thousands and millions of books into the lap of conditioned souls. Just like during war time the bombs are raining from the sky like anything." – August 03, 1973 to Ramesvara. Quote by A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada |

One thing that has really changed between the past and present is the size of our congregations. When I first joined the movement, there were only a very few people who were regulars at our Sunday programs and festivals. Today the times have changed, and so have our congregations. Practically all established temples not only have sizable congregations, but the congregations are actively involved in the temple. The days of the temple visitors just standing by

I had the fortune to attend the Namamrita Seminar of His Holiness Bhakti Brhat Bhagavad Swami Maharaja during the third week of September. I had heard a great deal about the seminar from HG Chitralekha Devi Dasi mataji in her news letters in the past. It was difficult to leave work for 3 days but then the Lord arranged everything to fall perfectly in place as seminar finished by lunch time everyday.

I read another pastime of Srila Prabhupada today morning by Janananda Maharaj sent by HG Chitralekha Devi Dasi mataji. It read:
Prabhupada asked for water. Amogha, who was holding the microphone at the time, got up and went to the kitchen.
Amogha: "In the kitchen a lady handed me a silver tray on which was a pitcher of cold water, with ice in it, and a drinking cup or goblet upside down. The drinking cup had a long slender base that widened at the bottom. As I brought it in I couldn

I left the evening before for Vrindavan, reaching Vrindavan Dham around 9pm. The temple was closed, I paid my dandvat pranam inside the courtyard and then had a quick dinner at Govinda.
Got a room in my regular guest house, Sri Krishna Sudama Dham, and slept around 11pm after reading a bit.
