Hare Krsna

Please accept my humble obeisance. All glories to Srila Prabhupa

 

 

Bg 6.8 -This Bhagavad-gītā is the science of Kṛṣṇa consciousness. No one can become Kṛṣṇa conscious simply by mundane scholarship. One must be fortunate enough to associate with a person who is in pure consciousness. A Kṛṣṇa conscious person has realized knowledge, by the grace of Kṛṣṇa, because he is satisfied with pure devotional service. Byrealized knowledge, one becomes perfect. By transcendental knowledge one can re

Hare Krsna

Please accept my humble obeisance. All glories to Srila Prabhupa

 

"Those who are preachers are superior to those who go to the Himalayas to meditate. It is good to go to the Himalayas to meditate for one's personal benefit, but those who undergo many difficulties in order to preach are superior. They are actually fighting for Krsna's sake, and they are certainly more compassionate. Those sadhus who leave Vrndavana to go fight in the world, to spread Krsna consciousness, are superior sad

Bhagavad Gita 2.47: You have a right to perform your prescribed duty, but you are not entitled to the fruits of action. Never consider yourself the cause of the results of your activities, and never be attached to not doing your duty.

Perhaps this is the verse of Gita most of us use to justify the phrase “work is worship”. The most popular and common statement “work is worship” is an exaggeration of the

UNLIMITED MERCY OF KRSNA – 2 (KUBJA)

Click on the link for UNLIMITED MERCY OF KRSNA -1(PUTANA)

Krsna is an ocean of mercy whose deepness cannot be imagined by the tiny human mind,which bewilders man and lures him into further material entanglement.Even the words infinite and unlimited fail to describe the amount of mercy Krsna showers on his devotees, which is purely transcendental in nature. Yet, when man tries to understand Krsna’s compassionate nature, with a bit of devotion in his heart, cold tears roll down, throat becomes chok

“Regarding distribution of my books, somebody may say something, but that doesn't matter. Somehow or other they are taking our Krsna book. However it should be done so there is not legal implication. And aggressiveness is not good. That should be checked.”

Bhakti-vriksha Seminar in ISKCON Atlanta

2514942079?profile=original

It has been the desire of HG Vedasara Das, President, Atlanta Hare Krishna temple, for quite some time to adopt the Bhakti-vriksha program in this temple. We have seen so many visitors aspiring for some spiritual mentoring, association with people who they could trust and a long lasting loving relationship. Due to the lack of any such program which would cultivate these visitors, the temple was unable to fulfill their needs, and this was always a void that our President wanted to fill.

Thought Of The Day

There are 8,400,000 different forms of life. So you can enter any one of them according to your mental condition. We are under the control of the material nature. The material nature is being conducted in three modes: goodness, passion and ignorance. So just like three colors: yellow, red, and blue. Now you mix-three into three equal to nine, nine into nine equal to eighty-one. So these modes of material nature is being mixed up. Therefore there are so many varieties of life. So if we transcend

Why Bhakti?

Hare Krsna

Please accept my humble obeisance. All glories to Srila Prabhupa

 


The Vedic literatures, including the Puraṇas, state that according to the position of the conditioned soul, there are different processes — karma-kaṇḍa, jnana-kaṇḍa, the yogic process and the bhakti-yoga process. Karma-kaṇḍa is compared to wasps and drones that will simply bite if one takes shelter of them. Jnana-kaṇḍa, the speculative process, is simply like a ghost who creates mental disturbances. Yoga, the mystic proce

How to Understand God?

Hare Krsna

Please accept my humble obeisance. All glories to Srila Prabhupa

 

God is all pervasive, but to understand God we have to first purify ourselves. God has many characteristics, one of them is pavitram – He is the purest of all and in order to understand Him, we also have to become pure; we also have to become free of our contamination. Therefore, we have this process of devotional service. It is a process of purification of the mind, purification of one’s intelligence and purification of
