Thought Of The Day

The Supreme Personality of Godhead is not perceivable through the gross material senses. It is said that Lord Sri Krsna's name, fame, pastimes, etc., cannot be understood by material senses. Only to one who is engaged in pure devotional service under proper guidance is He revealed. In the Brahma-samhita it is stated, premanjanacchurita.... One can see the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Govinda, always within himself and outside himself if he has developed the transcendental loving attitude towa

Hare Krsna

Please accept my humble obeisance. All glories to Srila Prabhupada

 

 

To live in a solitary place while experiencing transcendental emotion is called Vrajavasa.  One should chant the holy name of the Lord a prescribed number of times and engage in the Lord’s service twenty four hours a day. One shouldengage in favourable service to the Supreme Lord in such a way that it does not create any impediment to his livelihood.

Hare Krsna

Please accept my humble obeisance. All glories to Srila Prabhupada

 

 
 
When the cause of the mind’s restlessness is sense gratification, and thisrestlessness is the main obstacle in the practice of devotional service, then all sensual activities should be dovetailed in the service of the Lord and the attachment to sense gratification should be transformed into attachment for theLord.

Hare Krsna

Please accept my humble obeisance. All glories to Srila Prabhupada

Simply we have to desire to please Him (Krishna), and not desire anythingfor ourselves.  Then we become simply instruments for His (Krishna’s)will.  This is the important essence of Krishna consciousness.

 
-          His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada
(Founder-Acharya of ISKCON., in his letter to Atreya Rishi, October 20, 1970
As cited in the ‘Srila Prabhupada Meditations’ calendar, October 20).

Hare Krsna

Please accept my humble obeisance. All glories to Srila Prabhupada

 

Krsna helps and reminds us through each of them. If we are in sattva guna we can recollect one of Krsna pastimes while seeing even a spider, in this manner all living entities are preaching the glories of Krsna. It is we who are not able to connect to the teaching from 84 lakh species.

Sri Krishna is extremely fond of His Bhaktas

Hare Krsna

Please accept my humble obeisance. All glories to Srila Prabhupada

Bhagavan Sri Krishna is famously called, *Bhakta-priya*( fond of His Bhaktas). All Krishna-Bhaktas strongly agree with this because they are continuously experiencing Bhagavan’s love in their day-to-day lifeIf anybody has any doubt on this, it is only because of his lack of faith.

 

Let me tell you about a true experience which happened last week . A lady Bhakta’s father was diagnosed with a very serious illness. Four Do

Thought Of The Day

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
