Thought Of The Day

Now the Lord says, Krsna says, when Arjuna asked Him, "Krsna, will You describe something about Your different potencies, by which You are working in this material world?" Then Krsna describes so many things. Out of that one verse is that atha va bahunaitena kim jnatena tavarjuna:  "My dear Arjuna, I have described in nutshell many of My potencies in displaying this manifested world, but you can understand one thing, that by one part, by manifestation of one of My part, I am..., I have entered a

My Favorite Place & Why

WHEREVER IS TULASI, ITS VRINDAVAN
[October 7, 1972, ISKCON Los Angeles, USA]


While in New Dwarka, Srila Prabhupada would go into his garden every evening around sunset. He often stayed for two or three hours. Sometimes I was alone with His Divine Grace and sometimes other devotees and guests joined him as well. Although we were in the midst of smog-filled, Los Angeles, Srila Prabhupada's garden seemed to be part of the spiritual world.

He often commented how much he liked this garden where

Hare Krsna

Please accept my humble obeisance. All glories to Srila Prabhupada

Krishna-bhaktas are pure followers of Vedic faith. They honestly live a life in accordance with Bhagavad Gita ( vedic injunctions) Because of this uncompromising spiritual approach, at times even the family members could be upset , but the Bhakta does not worry about it .

Such a true Krishna-bhakta is an immensely powerful divine blessing not only to his family but all those associating with him/her. Bhagavan Sri Krishn

Hare Krsna

Please accept my humble obeisance. All glories to Srila Prabhupada

My dear Lord Narasimhadeva, I see that there are so many saintly persons indeed, but they are interested only in theirown deliverance. Not caring for the big cities and towns, they go to the Himalayas or the forest to meditate with vows of silence (Mauna Vrata).  They are not interested in deliveringothers.  As for me, however, I do not wish to be liberatedalone, leaving aside all these poor fools and rascals.  I know th

Respect to all

Hare Krsna

Please accept my humble obeisance. All glories to Srila Prabhupada

You should be respectful to all Vaisnavas and all spiritual masters. A disciple no doubt has a special relationship with
his spiritual master, but at the same time is respectful to all senior Vaisnavas. It should not be that one gives respect to
his guru and disrespects other spiritually advanced entities.

The holy name is the most valuable asset that you can possess!

Hairy Krishnas


On my current visit to Sri Vrindavan Dhama in April 2013 I am noticing many male initiated ISKCON devotees keeping beards. Is this in accordance with Srila Prabhupada’s instructions? By carefully reviewing his instructions in his books, letters, lectures, and conversations in this regard we can understand what is his desire and thus how to please him.


Srila Prabhupada has written in a letter to Brahmananda Prabhu dated 11 October 1967 from Calcutta: Kirtanananda is the first man in our societ

Thought Of The Day

So as we have seen that Lord Caitanya, when He instructs, He gives at once evidence from authoritative scripture, that is the way of presenting. Always you should remember that we cannot imagine about God: "I think God is like this." This is nonsense. You have no thinking power. You are under the grip of material nature. He is pulling. The material nature is pulling you by the ear, just like this. Prakrteh kriyamanani gunaih karmani sarvasah [Bg. 3.27]. You are being acted, influenced. Just like
