On doing so, you will be able to make spiritual advancement. Attentive chanting means that when you sit down to do sixteen rounds of japa we should focus fo

Please accept my humble obeisance. All glories to Srila Prabhupada

It’s extremely seductive, when sharing with others about your workday, to focus primarily on the negative. A fairly typical response to the question, “How was your day?” is, “I had a really tough one.”

There are two living entities. One is trying to forget God, and another is trying to remember God. That's all. There are two kinds of people, or men. Men, not the animals. Animals cannot understand what is God. It is the business of human beings. So if you want to know God sincerely, seriously, then God is within yourself. He'll give you intelligence how you can know Him. But if you want to forget God, challenge God, "There is no God. God is dead," then He'll give you such intelligence that you'

Why is Shri Radhaji's name not openly stated in the Shrimad Bhagavat?

Today is the birthday of Shri Radhaji. On this holy day, enjoy reading Pujya Bhaishri's Sandesh on the significance of Shri Radhaji and why her name is not explicitly stated in the entire Shrimad Bhagavat. Many people say, "Bhagavat is mainly the story of Lord Krishna but Shri Radhaji is not explicitly mentioned anywhere within it!"

It is true that Shri Radhaji's name is not mentioned in the Shrimad Bhagavat, but it is untru

Devotee : Swamiji, you said that Srimati Radharani is supervising the devotional service. Is it because She knows what the standard of the service is that She is able to supervise the service?

Giriraj Swami : Yes, that is true. She Herself exemplifies the highest standard of pure devotional service to Krsna. But we cannot expect Her to personally supervise our service. For that
