ISKCON Crawley will be hosting the grand opening of the Bhakti Yoga Centre on Saturday 23rd March, 2013. It’s been a long time coming for the community of devotees situated in a small town, in the South East of England.
Crawley’s first ever event was held in 1999, with help from the ever enthusiastic youth group, Pandava Sena. These youth events would take place every other week, and ensured a healthy turn out at the time. Even though the first event took place during this time, every now and t
On this most auspicious day of the appearance of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, we are pleased to announce the release of a new CD of compiled lectures of our Guru Maharaja, His Grace Sriman Sankarshan Das Adhikari Prabhu, titled “Grihastha Life”.
The CD puts light on various aspects of grihastha asrama and enlightens the hearer on how he can utilize his household life to achieve the highest result out of it. As usual, Srila Gurudeva’s lectures are ultra-potent and relishing. They address a wide vari
So desire cannot be stopped. Desireless, it is not possible, because we are living entity; we must have desires. But this kind of desires we are proposing: "My Lord, give me a facility for fulfilling these desires." So that means you get a particular type, and these desires are generated on account of our different association -- sattva-guna, rajo-guna, tamo-guna. So if we associate with sattva-guna, then we get a body like the demigods.

Cupid's arrows can no longer pierce our hearts when we become attracted to Krsna.
In this material world everyone is attracted by sex. This is a fact. As the Srimad-Bhagavatam says, yan maithunadi-grhamedhi-sukham hi tuccham: "The happiness the so-called happiness of household life begins from maithuna, or sexual intercourse."

This body is given by the material nature at the direction of..., by the direction of Krsna. Because the nature is working by the direction of Krsna. Nature is not independent. Mayadhyaksena prakrtih suyate sa-caracaram [Bg. 9.10]. So isvara, Krsna, as Supersoul, He is in the core of my heart, sitting with me. I am also in the heart.

Along with Holi, which fills our life with various shades of colour, today is also the auspicious day of Gaura Purnima. Gaura Purnima is the birth anniversary of Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. Sri Chiatanya Mahaprabhu appeared in this world around 500 years ago in Mayapur, West Bengal. Kali – yuga, the present age in which we are living, is widely known to be filled with inauspicious phenomenon but very few know that this age has one great benediction. In kali – yuga water of the rivers may dry but

We are most fallen. We don’t even have the power to control our senses. But if we surrender to Krishna; if we fall at the feet of Krishna and call out His holy name offenselessly, call out the holy name of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu; then He delivers us. Lord Chaitanya is all-powerful. He is patita pavana. He can give the most degraded, the highest gift of prema bha
