I left Gurgaon late afternoon with my driver. It was Kartik and  a lot of traffic from the moment we took right from the old Govardhan turn on the highway. The approach road full of all kind of vehicles. When we reached the edge of the parikarma marg, there was a huge rush of people. Th

So this kind, this kind of so-called happiness will never satisfy us. The real happiness which is within, our love, loving propensity for Krsna, that has to be revived. Nitya-siddha krsna-bhakti sadhya kabhu naya. It is not by artificial means one becomes a devotee of Krsna. That is not possible.

So our Krsna cons

Cows are a common domestic animal. She is referred to as the foster mother 
of human being because it produces most of the milk that people drink. Every 
produce of cows are used in India. The people of India worship her as 
mother. So they loved her very much. But the people of other community do

It was 3rd June 2012, a Sunday. I went to the temple in the morning, attended Guru puja, listened to a cheerful  Bhagvatam class, had prasadam and  later completed most of my balance rounds sitting there. I felt very peaceful and fulfilled. I again wished if someone would have been there to sit with me and teach me something , anything. I had the whole day off.
