How to get relief from this world?

Hare Krsna

Please accept my humble obeisance. All glories to Srila Prabhupada

Bad karma obliges us to take birth again to be punished. And good karma obliges us to take birth again to be rewarded. For example, let's say that a wealthy man opens a charity hospital to give free medical care to the needy. For every poor person who receives free medical care this philanthropist accumulates good karma. His reward will be that he will take birth again and again until all the people who received free med

EXCELLENT MASSAGE BY CO-OPERATING

During the two years I spent in Srila Prabhupada's personal service, it became apparent that he wanted us to cooperate. Disagreements have, and may always, be there. Despite our problems it is possible to work together.

Srila Prabhupada sometimes told the story of the sons who were massaging their father. They had some disagreements. One son would poke the father in the back where the other son was massaging and the other son, of course, would do the same. I

Thought Of The Day

Now the Lord says, Krsna says, when Arjuna asked Him, "Krsna, will You describe something about Your different potencies, by which You are working in this material world?" Then Krsna describes so many things. Out of that one verse is that atha va bahunaitena kim jnatena tavarjuna:  "My dear Arjuna, I have described in nutshell many of My potencies in displaying this manifested world, but you can understand one thing, that by one part, by manifestation of one of My part, I am..., I have entered a

My Favorite Place & Why

WHEREVER IS TULASI, ITS VRINDAVAN
[October 7, 1972, ISKCON Los Angeles, USA]


While in New Dwarka, Srila Prabhupada would go into his garden every evening around sunset. He often stayed for two or three hours. Sometimes I was alone with His Divine Grace and sometimes other devotees and guests joined him as well. Although we were in the midst of smog-filled, Los Angeles, Srila Prabhupada's garden seemed to be part of the spiritual world.

He often commented how much he liked this garden where

Hare Krsna

Please accept my humble obeisance. All glories to Srila Prabhupada

Krishna-bhaktas are pure followers of Vedic faith. They honestly live a life in accordance with Bhagavad Gita ( vedic injunctions) Because of this uncompromising spiritual approach, at times even the family members could be upset , but the Bhakta does not worry about it .

Such a true Krishna-bhakta is an immensely powerful divine blessing not only to his family but all those associating with him/her. Bhagavan Sri Krishn

Please accept my humble obeisance. All glories to Srila Prabhupada

My dear Lord Narasimhadeva, I see that there are so many saintly persons indeed, but they are interested only in theirown deliverance. Not caring for the big cities and towns, they go to the Himalayas or the forest to meditate with vows of silence (Mauna Vrata).  They are not interested in deliveringothers.  As for me, however, I do not wish to be liberatedalone, leaving aside all these poor fools and rascals.  I know th

Respect to all

Hare Krsna

Please accept my humble obeisance. All glories to Srila Prabhupada

You should be respectful to all Vaisnavas and all spiritual masters. A disciple no doubt has a special relationship with
his spiritual master, but at the same time is respectful to all senior Vaisnavas. It should not be that one gives respect to
his guru and disrespects other spiritually advanced entities.

The holy name is the most valuable asset that you can possess!

After a petition filed by a Jain Muni against Meat Export , Rajya Sabha has invited opinions and memorandum from the all interested by July 12th, (see press release).

At least the review of the dreadful meat export as prevailing today will happen favorably.

Hairy Krishnas


On my current visit to Sri Vrindavan Dhama in April 2013 I am noticing many male initiated ISKCON devotees keeping beards. Is this in accordance with Srila Prabhupada’s instructions? By carefully reviewing his instructions in his books, letters, lectures, and conversations in this regard we can understand what is his desire and thus how to please him.


Srila Prabhupada has written in a letter to Brahmananda Prabhu dated 11 October 1967 from Calcutta: Kirtanananda is the first man in our societ
