Srila Prabhupada Says - [Rascal Scientists]

Where is your science? Why the scientists dying? Why they cannot invent some means, a tablet, that "At the time of my death, push this tablet in my belly. I'll not die"? Why they are unable to do so? Who can answer this? Why the rascal scientists do not manufacture such things that there'll be no death for the scientists? Hm? What do you say? Anyone for scientists can plead? (l

Hare Krsna

Please accept my humble obeisance. All glories to Srila Prabhupada

 

Here, in a few words, Srila Prabhupada explains many major points. The essence is that simple truths are elusive, sometimes even invisible. 


" Sarva-dharman parityajya mam ekam... [Bg. 18.66]. That is the beginning of pure devotional service. No other engagement. Simply Krsna. That is pure devotional service. But that is very difficult to achieve. People will not accept the simple thing. You give them big, big formulas,

Hare Krsna

Please accept my humble obeisance. All glories to Srila Prabhupada

 

Srila Prabhupada Says – [Regarding how the Bhagavad Gita was originally spoken from the mouth of Lord Kṛṣṇa and if we read the Bhagavad Gita in the same appreciative manner in which Arjuna heard from Lord Kṛṣṇa we can also understand the words spoken by Lord Sri Krsna]

“We are all fools like that. Arjuna is not fool. Arjuna has been been described as Guḍakesa. How he can be fool? But he is playing the part of fool. If he

"It is important to take to Krsna consciousness immediately, because we do not know how much time is left before death. When your time in this body expires, no one can stop your death. The arrangement of material nature is so strong."

 

"Just try to give this Krishna philosophy to the intelligent class of men, and distribute our books as many as possible, and your all efforts will come out successful. Know it for certain

PUNDIT AND RICH MAN:

Hare Krsna

Please accept my humble obeisance. All glories to Srila Prabhupada

 

 
There was a Pundit in the village. He was well-versed in all Scriptures. He knew everything, but, he was poor. He did not have a house. He used to get his meals also with great difficulties. Even his clothes were very much worn out.
 
So, the Pundit used to beg for his meals. He went from House-to-House begging. “Please give me alms”. On seeing his old clothes many people were thinking that he is mad. So, saying “Go Away

Sanatan Dharma - The Only Religion !

Sanatan Dharma

The Only Religion Of The World

There is no ritual of "conversion" in Sanatan Dharma because you don't convert to it, you can only return to it.

So when you feel you've lost your way and when you realise that what you left behind was true happiness and joy, then you return home, to Sanatan Dharma.

Meaning in Hindi !

सनातन धर्म में धर्म परिवर्तन की कोई विधि नहीं है ,

क्योंकि सनातन धर्म में परिवर्तन नहीं हो सकता ,

सनातन धर्म में तो सिर्फ लौटा जा सकता है !

इसलिए जब आप अपनी राह भूल जाएँ और महस

Thought Of The Day

Prabhupada: Guru more murkha dekhi' karila sasana [Cc. Adi 7.71]. Caitanya Mahaprabhu also presented Himself as idiot number one. He said to Prakasananda Sarasvati. Prakasananda Sarasvati asked Him that "You are a sannyasi. You do not read Vedanta and You chant and dance. What is this?" So He answered, guru more murkha dekhi' karila sasana. "My guru found Me a fool number one, so he has chastised Me, 'You rascal, You are fool, You cannot read Vedanta. You Chant Hare Krsna.' " So it is good that

I'm God, You're God, But Who Is The Supreme God?


Everyone wants to become God, imitator. Imitation. Therefore they say, "Why Kṛṣṇa shall be alone God? I am God." 

You are God. That's all right. But you are not the Supreme God. Why you forget that? You may be a God at home of your wife, but when you go to your office, you are not god; your master is god. He directs you to do something; you have to do it.

So we may claim that "Every one of us, we are God," but nobody can claim that "We are supreme; I am Supreme God." That is not possible. That

what does Gaudiya Vaishnavas believe??

2514930682?profile=original are the followers of the mystic avatar Sri Chaitanya (1486-1534). Sri Chaitanya worshiped Radha and Krishna and popularized the practice of kirtan (congregational chanting of the names of God). His followers revere him as an incarnation of Krishna, prophesied in the later chapters of The Srimad Bhagavam, who appeared to teach the path of Bhakti.

Sri Chaitanya taught the belief in one supreme God, the ultimate manifestation being in the form of Krishna, accompanied by Radha, whose power and majes

Dancing in front of Deities

Hare Krishna,In my initial years I used to wonder why, or even how, devotees dance after the morning Guru puja. I would place them as sentimental devotees, priding myself as the one who is here for the serious knowledge. I still remember, at Punjabi Bagh temple, some devotee would try to pull me in and I would reply with a lame shrug. Of course, I never danced in my whole life, was an introvert and on top of it I am gifted with two left feet.Bewildered, one day I finally asked one senior devotee

Lectures with deep philosophy

Hare Krishna.Till now, I would always `judge' devotees based on how they would give lectures. Similarly when some `simple' lecture would be going on I would get impatient and would pray that Prabhu ji will soon discuss something important or `deep'. It is only recently that I realised how foolish I was, or rather I am, that most of the time the limitation is not with the speaker but with the listeners. An intelligent speaker always see who is the general audience, he then speaks according to wha
