Thought Of The Day

So everything can be controlled by Krsna's grace. He is Madana-mohana. Therefore, our first business is to surrender to Madana-mohana and establish our relationship with Him. "My Lord Krsna, I have so long forgotten..." That song is sung by Bhaktivinoda Thakura,


manasa, deho, geho, yo kicho mora


arpilun tuya pade, nanda-kisora


This is full surrender. Then Krsna assures, aham tvam sarva-papebhyo moksayisyami ma sucah [Bg. 18.66], He will protect. So tams titiksasva bharata. There are so many disturb

Lord Krishna was residing in Dwarka with his 16,108 wives. For all his 16,108 wives there were separate palaces and Krishna had expanded himself into 16,108 forms and he used to be simultaneously present with all his wives. This can be possible only with Krishna and not with lesser mortals like us, so we should never try to imitate the esoteric pastimes of Krishna. All the queens of Dwarka were extremely happy and tried their best to please the Lord. But the queens often found that Krishna remai

Hare Krishna. Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
After the dust settled after the Lollapalooza concert I moved north to Wisconsin. I visited my friend Bhagavan Acarya. It's alway's nice visiting him because all I hear out of his mouth are stories from Radha Damodara TSKP and Srila Prabhupada etc. He told me he was in Atlanta in 1975 with Radha Damodara when they all got to go upstairs and have a personal Darshan with Srila Prabhupada. He said that even though he

What is the qualification to preach Gita?.......................Nectarean Mellows

 

The Bhagavad-Gita is teaching real religion. Real religion means the word of God, no one else’s word and one who humbly & submissively hears the word of God and repeats that word. What is the qualification to preach the Gita? Not to be a great scholar, not to be necessarily be a bhahman by birth, not to be a gyani who can speculate and invent all sorts of beautiful

Please accept my humble obeisance. All glories to Srila Prabhupada

For a Vaisnava, acceptance of Sanyasa means getting relief from all material activities and completelydevoting oneself to the transcendental loving service of the Lord.  This is confirmed by Srila Rupa Gosvami (Bhakti Rasamritha Sindhu 1.2.255) : Anasaktasya visayan yatharham upayunjatah / nirbandhah Krishna sambandhe yuktam vairagyam ucyate.  For a Vaisnava, the renounced order means completely giving up attachment for

6 - भज गोविन्दं

इस छ्ठे श्लोक को श्री शंकराचार्य ने तब कहा जब उस व्यक्ति ने उनसे पूछा, "अच्छा स्वजनों के बारे में आप शायद ठीक कह रहे हों। पर मेरी पत्नी मुझपर जो प्रेम प्रदर्शित करती है, वह कभी झूठा नहीं हो सकता} शरीरों के पृथक होने पर भी हम-दोनों एक हीं प्राणी के समान हैं। वह मेरे शरीर के छोटे-से-छोटे अंग को भी अपना हीं समझती है। ऐसी मेरी पत्नी जब मेरे पास बैठी है, तब क्या मेरे इस जीवन में कोई सार नहीं है?" श्री शंकर ने तब उत्तर दिया:

मूल:
यावत् पवनो निवसति देहे, तावत् पृच्छति कुशलं गेहे।

Caring for every Jiva

Hare Krsna

Please accept my humble obeisance. All glories to Srila Prabhupada

Told By mother Govinda dasi :
In the late afternoon in New Jersey, Srila Prabhupada would often sit downstairs in the garden beside our bungalow. New Jersey is known as the garden state, and the town of Long Branch was certainly testimony to that. There were gardens everywhere, roses were blooming and their fragrance filled the air. On one particular afternoon, Srila Prabhupada was comfortably seated in a chair, and I was

No gambling

 

In Krishna consciousness, you're trying to purify your mind--to make it clear and steady for spiritual realization. But gambling makes the mind cloudy. It agitates the mind. You start thinking: What are my chances? How much could I walk off with? What could I do with my winnings? Even if you just play for the sake of playing, gambling pulls the mind away from thinking about the real purpose of life.

A Happy Lord Nrisimhadev appearance day.

It is rightly said that today the world has "guided missiles and unguided minds". We hear of immunization programs for children from the time of birth for prevention of various diseases. But this is just immunization to protect the body from diseases. What about immunization to the subtle body (mind)? The world (scientific community) has no such program. Lord Nrisimhadev's appearance is to protect or shield us from the demoniac nature.

How to conquer sleep while chanting?

Hare Krsna

Please accept my humble obeisance. All glories to Srila Prabhupada

Srila Guru Maharaj: This stage of feeling relaxed while doing japa is first stage of advancement. Because it means you are feeling very peaceful! Ha….. Snore…. Ha! Ha! Of course we would like to rise above that stage! To the stage when we feel very enthusiastic. I don’t know if you are getting enough sleep in the night. It is important to sleep 6 or 7 hours usually but some people don’t. But Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Tha
