Now, the feature, the body, is the same, but in different house with different devotees, the exchange of feelings is different. That is called vaibhava-prakasa. So it is a very complicated idea, which of them is vaibhava, which of them is prabhava, which of them is vilasa, which of them is tad-ekatma, avesa... There are different divisions of Krsna's expansions. But we can note down if we like from original Krsna how many, I mean to say, expansions, innumerable expansions Krsna has got. But som

By chanting the Hare Krishna mantra one immediately concentrates on the sound vibration and thinks of the lotus feet of the Lord, and very quickly one is elevated to the position of samadhi, or trance. (Srimad-Bhagavatam 4.8.44 Purport)
Chanting of the Hare Krishna mantra is the easiest process of meditation in this age. As soon as one chants the Hare Krishna mantra, he sees the forms of Krishna, Rama and Their energies,

Spiritual enlightenment is possible by the mercy of the spiritual energy of the Lord. The chanting of the Hare Krishna mantra is first addressed to the spiritual energy of the Lord, Hare. This spiritual energy acts when a living entity fully surrenders and accepts his position as an eternal servitor. (Srimad-Bhagavatam 4.9.6 Purport)

As there are constitutional laws in the material world stating that the king can do no wrong, or that the king is not subject to the state laws, similarly the Lord, although He is the creator of this material world, is not affected by the activities of the material world. He creates and remains aloof from the creation, whereas the living entities are entangled in the fruitive results of material activities because of the

*Spirituality* is not very easy. One can easily give a big lecture on Spirituality, but applying it in own life is different.
For example, `'Love your neighbor like yourself" is the basic slogan of Christianity. But, are even the Bishops practicing this in real life?
It is here that, Vedic Dharma becomes very relevant. The Srimad Bhagavad Gita ( essence of the Vedas) set only practical guidelines. It urges it's followers

So there are different kinds of devotees also. Some devotee worships the Narayana feature, some devotee worships Krsna feature, Nrsimhadeva... So there are innumerable devotees and innumerable forms also of Krsna. But not these ordinary demigods. When Krsna says, ye yatha mam prapadyante tams tathaiva bhajamy aham: [Bg. 4.11] "Any devotee who wants to worship Me in My different feature, I offer him in that feature..." Just like Hanuman. He was a devotee of Rama. So there is one verse by Hanuman,
As it is natural for some fishes to live deep in water and for some, on the top of it, it is natural for some kind of devotes of God serve to the Lord in Countryside Monastery environment and for other kind of Devotees – in midst of massive city. It is not the optional, it is essentially necessary, for those Devotees, who not yet come to the level of Holy Sage (mahabhagavata, paramahamsa, avaduta) and by their nature more fragile and more sensitive to external environment. If we just swap over t

Bad karma obliges us to take birth again to be punished. And good karma obliges us to take birth again to be rewarded. For example, let's say that a wealthy man opens a charity hospital to give free medical care to the needy. For every poor person who receives free medical care this philanthropist accumulates good karma. His reward will be that he will take birth again and again until all the people who received free med

EXCELLENT MASSAGE BY CO-OPERATING
During the two years I spent in Srila Prabhupada's personal service, it became apparent that he wanted us to cooperate. Disagreements have, and may always, be there. Despite our problems it is possible to work together.
Srila Prabhupada sometimes told the story of the sons who were massaging their father. They had some disagreements. One son would poke the father in the back where the other son was massaging and the other son, of course, would do the same. I
