Relief from misery

Hare Krsna

Please accept my humble obeisance. All glories to Srila Prabhupada

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

Thought Of The Day

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

The most fundamental need.......................Nectarean Mellows

So in the way the sunray is related to the Sun, we are qualitatively one with God but quantitatively, always subordinate to the Supreme, as eternal servants. The soul, the conscious force, the life within us, is sac-cid-ānanda - eternal, full of knowledge and full of bliss. The soul must have bliss. It’s our nature. When we think we are this body, we will look for the bliss through t

Thought Of The Day

So we should always depend on Krsna's assurance. In any circumstances, any dangerous position, Krsna... Avasya raksibe krsna visvasa palana. This is surrender. Surrender means... One of the item is full faith in Krsna, that "In execution of my devotional service there may be so many dangers, but because I have taken shelter of Krsna's lotus feet, I am safe." This, this faith for Krsna.
