It is to be understood that the conditioned soul is tightly tied by the ropes of illusion. A man bound by the hands and feet cannot free himself -- he must be helped by a person who is unbound. Because the bound cannot help the bound, the rescuer must be liberated. Therefore, only Lord Krsna, or His bona fide representative the spiritual master, can release the conditioned soul. Without such superior help, one cannot be freed from the bondage of material nature. Devotional service, or Krsna cons

By Her Grace Malati Devi Dasi

Developing congregations in ISKCON is actually something so important that enough cannot be said about it. Initially the temples were our homes, and if you were not living in the temple, then you were considered to be in maya. Thankfully that concept no longer exists.

As wonderful and as big our temples may become, they are not going to be able to be big enough to accommodate the whole world. Lord Caitanya’s movement is meant to encompass the whole world. The temple i

Devotees when they start criticizing each other they start losing interest in mangala arati, then they start losing interest in Bhagavatam, then they start losing interest in chanting and one day they just go out of the door. Finish. This is how our thinking has a very bad effect. Bad thinking will give a very bad face like chimpanzee. Nobody likes to have a face of a chimpanzee. Enough of chimpanzee face, now we should have a nice innocent face. - Mahavishnu Goswami
