PRABHUPADA NEVER WASTED ANYTHING!

2514927027?profile=original


Calcutta was definitely Srila Prabhupada's hometown. The temple, which had a relaxed atmosphere, was situated on the second floor with a modest-sized temple room. Srila Prabhupada's room was at the end of the building. The nicest part of the facility was a marble verandah that ran the width of the building. It overlooked a pond that was across the street.
While in Calcutta, we could not stop the flow of guests entering Srila Prabhupada's room. It was different from other temples where there w

It is sometimes hard for some aspiring devotees to accept all the sastras or scriptures dealing with cosmology as literal fact in the face of modern science which in itself has changed so much since the 17th Century and has continued to transform so much even in the last 40 years since Srila Prabhupada was physically here.

 

Some have asked, if Srila Prabhupada were here today, would he have a different opinion on some issues regarding the material scientist? For example, Srila Prabhupada said 40

When a touchstone touches iron, it turns the iron to gold.  Parvata Muni called Narada Muni a touchstone because by his touch the hunter, who was the lowest among men, became an elevated and perfect Vaisnava.  Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura said that the position of a Vaisnava can be tested by seeing how good a touchstone he is,  that is, by seeing how many Vaisnavas he has made during his life.  A Vaisnava should be a touchstone so that he can convert others to Vaisnavism by his preaching,

The Youth

2514926526?profile=original

By His Holiness Bhaktimarga Swami. 

I get invited to work with the youth and put together dramas. I fly in usually on Thursday or Friday afternoon. I meet the kids (mostly teenagers) who have been asked to participate in a weekend drama for the Sunday Feast program. Depending on the play and how many actors I need, we meet on Friday night to talk about the script, go over the play, and start rehearsing. We meet for most of Saturday and Sunday morning for practicing. Then, whenever the Sunday prog

The three Ghosh brothers, Vasudev Ghosh, Madhava Ghosh and Govinda Ghosh were all great devotees of Caitanya Mahaprabhu. Govinda Ghosh was living a very simple yet blissful life while worshiping his beloved deity, Gopinath. Govinda Ghosh was very detached from worldly affairs and he was very dear to the Lord. He had a son whom he brought up very nicely teaching him the art of living in Krishna Consciousness.....It was only natural that he loves his son a lot just like any other fathers would do.
