I was in Northern Wisconsin fixing my RV for a week and then went to The Twin Cities in Minnesota for a while to distribute some books and see some family members. There is now a good group of devotees in Minnesota so I went to one of their nice programs. They rent a hall once a month and have a big program and invite many people. They also have a program at the University of Minnesota once a week. This is one of the biggest universities in America so it's quite an important place to preach.

People, conditioned soul, means they have forgotten Krsna, and they are suffering, that's a fact. Tri-tapa yantana, adhibhautika. But because they are illusioned, they are thinking, "We are enjoying." This is called illusion. They are suffering, working day and night like an ass, and still, he's thinking that he's very happy. But he does not know that there is a life where there is no such thing as to work hard. Just like Krsna and Krsna's associates in Vrndavana, they are jolly, tending their c

Hearing the beautiful philosophy and glories of the lord naturally bring about an awakening of an attachment to Krishna. This is the age of kali. In kaliyuga there is a very, very serious epidemic of avidya or ignorance and therefore there is requirement of the strongest poss

The reading of Bhagavad-gita and chanting Hare Krsna doesn't mean you have to abandon professional life, it doesn't mean you have to abandon professional ambitions. No, you can go ahead and go for your education as high as you want. You can go ahead and be as ambitious in your professional career. But do it for the pleasure of Krsna. If we work for the pleasure of the lord, even if we be in the material world, we will be

Lest We Forget

Dear Ananta-santi Prabhu,

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

It was with great sadness that I learned of your recent departure. I rarely, if ever, express any deep emotion, but upon hearing of your demise I broke down and cried, for you have always been a true hero to me. By the Lord’s arrangement, you met our spiritual master, Srila Prabhupda, on his first v

Marathon in by Sadbhuja Dasa

This was my second Prabhupada marathon in Germany, and I have my own van, which I share with two other devotees. During this Marathon I was distributing around sixty-five books a day. My senior devotee, Varaha Prabhu, put together a tour for me. One day he called and asked where I will be distributing the next day, and I told him the name of the city.

The best thing we can all ask for and aspire for in our devotional service is to wish for Sadhu Sangha. All our Anarthas can be be gone with Sadhu Sangha and we can hope to get Krishna Prema one day.

Prabhupada made such a wonderful arrangement.

He created a garden full of blossoming flowers

And ensured that new flowers will continue to blossom even after he has left this planet.

This unique garden has gardners, teachers, administrators...

This is a unique and the best garden in the whole world.
