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.
He said in an encouraging way, "Oh, that's a very good city; if You don't distribute a hundred books there, then you
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.

In Bhagavad-gītā (3.9) it is said, yajnārthāt karmano ‘nyatra loko ‘yam karma-bandhanah: one should act or work only in order to please the Supreme Lord, otherwise one becomes entangled in the resultant reactions. According to the four divisions of varna and āśrama, ksatriyas and vaiśyasare especially advised to perform great ceremonial sacrifices and to distribute t

Material achievements are not the ultimate goal of devotionalservice. The ultimate goal of devotional service is love of Godhead. Therefore although Prahläda Mahäräja, Dhruva Mahäräja, Ambarésa Mahäräja, Yudhisthira Mahäräja and many devotee kings were materially very opulent, they accepted their material opulence in the service of the Lord, not for their personal sense gratification. Of course, possessingmaterial opulen

One of the most consistent complaints of working people in virtually all industries is that either feel completely unappreciated, or at the very least under-appreciated. There seems to be unspoken assumption that workers are lucky to have jobs – and the fact that they have jobs is appreciation enough.
The problem is, people need and deserve to feel appreciated. People who feel appreciated are happier, less-stressed, and

We should always know that God is ever kind to us. Despite our gross disobedience to the laws of God's nature, the Lord is kind enough to look after our maintenance. Water is one of the most important items for our maintenance, because without water we can neither produce food grains nor quench our thirst. Water is also required very liberally for many other purposes. Thus the Lord has preserved water on three fourths o

Prabhupada: So here the real attraction is the sex. The other statistics I was seeing is that all these hitch-hike statistics is rape[?]. Most dreadful.
Devotee (1): Yeah.
Prabhupada: The lusty desire is so prominent that whenever they will get some opportunity. That's all. Therefore it is ordered that you should not remain alone even with your sister, with your daughter, with your mother -- and what to speak of others.

On the third and last day of the 2011 book distribution seminars in Mayapur. Kavichandra Swami said, "There's never enough book distribution. Sometimes devotees say, 'We've distributed so many books, so where are the devotees who are supposed to come from book distribution?' But we're distributing for the pleasure of the spiritual master and the previous acaryas, and that is all we really need to do. If the
"A person in the conditional stage of material existence is in an atmosphere of helplessness. But the conditioned soul, under the illusion of maya or the external energy, thinks that he is completely protected by his country, society, friendship and love, not knowing that at the time of death none of these can save him." This is called maya. But he does not believe. Under the illusion of maya, he does not also believe that what is the meaning of saving. Saving. Saving means saving oneself from t

Here is the remedy for eliminating all inauspicious things within the heart which are considered to be obstacles in the path of self-realization. The remedy is the association of the Bhägavatas. There are two types of Bhägavatas, namely the book Bhägavata and the devotee Bhägavata. Both the Bhägavatasare competent remedies, and both of them or either of them can be good enough to eliminate the obstacles. A devoteeBhägava
