In recent times we find that there is a considerable growth in the business of self proclaimed Godman and spiritual organization all having their self made philosophy without having any authenticated root in time less Vedanta or if some claiming they are following Vedanta they take limited portion of Vedanta to support their notion of God being ultimately impersonal or in worst case they themselves are God. So if we have to trace back the root of the conception of Supreme being impersonal we can

Hare Krsna
Please accept my humble obeisance. All glories to Srila Prabhupada
There are many Vaishnavas in Vrndavana who do not like preaching; they chiefly try to imitate Haridasa Thakura. The actual result of their so-called chanting in a secluded place, however, is that they sleep and think of women and money. (Srimad-Bhagavatam, 4.29.1b Purport)
In the material world everyone is envious of his fellow man. Animalistic envy exists in human society as long as there is no performance of sankirtana

First of all, engage chanting Hare Krsna. There is Radha and Krsna. Hara is Radha, and Krsna, there is.

"My dear Sanatana, although you are the deliverer of the entire universe and although even the demigods and great saints are purified by touching you, it is the characteristic of a devotee to observe and to protect the Vaishnava etiquette. Maintenance of the Vaishnava etiquette is the ornament of a devotee."

SB 1.12.17 - There are three grades of devotees, namely the maha-bhagavata, madhyam-adhikari and the kanistha-adhikari.
Those who go to the temples of the Lord and offer worshipful respect to the Deity without sufficient knowledge in the theological science and therefore without any respect for the devotees of the Lord are called materialistic devotees, or kanistha-adhikari, the third-grade devotees.
Secondly, the devo

So this maya cannot approach to a person who is always engaged in Krsna consciousness. This is the version of Lord Caitanya, and with evidences. So if we want to be free from the clutches of maya, then this is the only path -- to become Krsna conscious. There is no other means. Because here it is clearly stated, krsna surya-sama. Just try to understand the argument. Krsna surya-sama: Krsna is just like sun. Maya andhakara: and the maya is just like darkness. It is darkness. So just you cannot im
Our mind gets clogged because we stuff it with unproductive substance. We have the very famous GIGO principle – Garbage in Garbage Out. What goes inside will eventually come out. If we expose a computer to a virus prone program then eventually the computer will start malfunctioning. Similarly, if we infest our mind with hazardous impressions then eventually our life will be in a mess. A disturbed and agitated mind brings chaos to personal and professional life. Whatever we see, hear or speak

The airliner began its spiral descent to land at Bien Hoa. Even at two-thousand feet you were already sweating from the suffocating tropical heat and humidity. Disembarking from the aircraft, our first view was of body bags being hastily loaded into the cargo hold for the return trip to the ‘States. The jarring image instantly cutting through all the phony, superficial pretexts of bravado and patriotism. You were an

My life in our little ashram by the lake is as peaceful as you can imagine. Thinking, writing, chanting, reading, praying, worshiping and hosting the many guests who come by, including the swans. But from time to time my peace gets unsettled when I have to think about an answer to a difficult question. A few days ago such a question was found inside my inbox. Here it is for you:
“My question is, how can I bridge the gap between the deep faith I feel for Krishna who is so

So relative name and absolute name. Krsna, if you always keep Krsna in your presence, then where is the possibility of ignorance and delusion? No, there is no possibility. And this is the shortcut way of keeping Krsna always with you on your tongue -- Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna, Krsna Krsna, Hare Hare/ Hare Rama... And if you are rigidly in this chanting process, you must understand that Krsna is with you and there is no danger, there is no illusion, there is no maya. Krsna can be present by His fam
