Love means reciprocation.......................Nectarean Mellows
One great saint once gave an example that if a person owns everything on the earth, if he is the proprietor of everything on earth, but he is the only person alive on Earth, will he enjoy? You have all the cars, you have all the buildings, you have all the money, you have all the food, you have everything but you are the only person and there is no competition. If one little bird ca
This is bhakti-marga, devotional service, to become very humble, meek, always pray to Krsna, "Kindly consider me as one of the particle of the dust of the lotus feet of Your Lordship," this very simple thing. Man-mana. In this way think of Krsna, become His devotee, offer obeisances and whatever patram puspam, little flower, water, you can provide, offer to Krsna. In this way live very peacefully and be happy.

In this material world, everyone is trying to search out happiness and get relief from misery. There are three kinds of miseries caused by our material condition: adhyatmika, adhibhautika, and adhidaivika.
Adhyatmika miseries are those caused by the body and mind themselves. For example, when there is some dis-arrangement of the different functions of metabolism within the body, we get a fever or some pain. Another kind

Nobody can captivate Krsna by all these material possessions. These are material possessions: money, then manpower, beauty, education, austerity, mystic power and so on, so on. There are so many things. They are not capable of approaching the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Krsna personally says, bhaktya mam abhijanati [Bg. 18.55]. He doesn't say all these material possessions, that "If one is very rich man, he can have My favor." No. Krsna is not a poor man like me, that if somebody gives me so

When we think we are this body, we will look for the bliss through t
