By His Holiness Bhaktimarga Swami. 

I get invited to work with the youth and put together dramas. I fly in usually on Thursday or Friday afternoon. I meet the kids (mostly teenagers) who have been asked to participate in a weekend drama for the Sunday Feast program. Depending on the play and how many actors I need, we meet on Friday night to talk about the script, go over the play, and start rehearsing. We meet for most of Saturday and Sunday morning for practicing. Then, whenever the Sunday prog

The three Ghosh brothers, Vasudev Ghosh, Madhava Ghosh and Govinda Ghosh were all great devotees of Caitanya Mahaprabhu. Govinda Ghosh was living a very simple yet blissful life while worshiping his beloved deity, Gopinath. Govinda Ghosh was very detached from worldly affairs and he was very dear to the Lord. He had a son whom he brought up very nicely teaching him the art of living in Krishna Consciousness.....It was only natural that he loves his son a lot just like any other fathers would do.

The senses are different outlets for the activities of lust. Lust is reserved within the body, but it is given vent through the senses. Therefore, the senses are superior to the body as a whole. These outlets are not in use when there is superior consciousness, or Krsna consciousness. In Krsna consciousness the soul makes direct connection with the Supreme Personality of Godhead; therefore the bodily functions, as described here, ultimately end in the Supreme Soul. Bodily action means the functi
