Krsna is called Yogesvara. He's also the master of all yogic mystic power. Therefore a bhakta, a true devotee of Krsna, he does not endeavor personally to achieve all these yogic mystic power. He depends on Krsna, and if there is necessity of exhibiting some yogic power, Krsna will show. Krsna will exhibit. Yatra yogesvarah harih. So although Arjuna did not manifest any yogic power, but, by Krsna's grace everything was so wonderfully performed in the Battle of Kuruksetra. Otherwise Arjuna was a,

Since last one week or so I was trying to read NOI as I realised that even after reading it in the past I don't know much about it, beyond the surface level reading. I downloaded various lectures by senior devotees and downloaded few notes posted on iskcondesiretree and was unsuccessfully trying to learn the `deeper' meaning of each verse.
Today morning as I sat again to learn the first and second verse I opened pocketveda on my ipad and as I started reading the verse first and then instead of go

Srila Raghunandana Thakura

In the house of Sri Mukunda Das, who lives at Sri Khanda, Lord Sri Gopinath is served with great devotion. One day Mukunda was called out to do some work, and then he instructed his son Raghunandan to worship the deity a

Visnur aradhana means one must become a Vaisnava, and Vaisnava means regulated life, not destroyed everything, finished, to become hogs. That is not Vaisnava. Vaisnava means regulated, end—to, how to satisfy Visnu. (BG lecture 1.43, London, July 30, 1973)
Sarve sukhino bhavantu. Vaisnava desire is not exploitation. Vaisnava desire is that "How others will be happy, how they will understand Krsna, how they will get happin

Gaurakisora dasa Babaji Maharaja used to sit on the side of a latrine to chant Hare Krishna. Many materialistic persons used to come and bother him and disturb his daily routine of chanting, so to avoid their company he used to sit by the side of a latrine, where materialistic persons would not go because of the filth and the obnoxious smell. (Srimad-Bhagavatam, 4.2.18 Purport)
In this age, no one is expected to be highly

First birth is from your parents, but real birth, real life, begins when one accepts a bona fide spiritual master and renders service unto him. Then the path is open for going back home, back to Godhead, to live eternally in full knowledge and full bliss and in association with the Supreme Personality of Godhead Himself, Lord Krishna. Letter to Narayani, June 11, 1972.
Lord Chaitanya, although Krishna Himself, appealed t
The reactions of our sinful activities we are suffering. As soon as we get a material body -- it doesn't matter whether a rich man's body or a poor man's, poor man's body -- the material body is itself subjected to threefold miseries of this material condition. Therefore Arjuna was advised by Krsna: agama apayino anityah tams titiksasva bharata. You cannot avoid the miserable condition of this body. That is not possible. So we have to tolerate. There is no other excuse. But do not create another

I'm going to use this blog to share the things I learn as I study this book and actually stick myself to a schedule. Haribol!

One who identifies himself as a follower of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu should feel like Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, who said, iha-sabara kon mate ha-ibe nistara: "How will all these yavanas be delivered?" Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu was always anxious to deliver the fallen souls because their fallen condition gave Him great unhappiness. That is the platform on which one can propagate the mission of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu.
