Thought Of The Day

So as soon as you engage yourself in pure devotional service without any material desire, without any material designation, immediately you are liberated. Svarupena avasthiti. That is real situation of our constitutional position. So long we are not engaged in Krsna's service, that is our opposite number of life, not real life. Real life is when you are fully engaged in Krsna consciousness, always engaged. That is life. Sravanam kirtanam. So to be fixed up in that spiritual life we should always

Gopastami

The gopīs at Vṛndāvana could not forget the Lord when the Lord was away in the forest cow herding. When the Lord boy Kṛṣṇa was absent from the village, the gopīs at home used to worry about Him traversing the rough ground with His soft lotus feet. By thinking thus, they were sometimes overwhelmed in trance and mortified in the heart. Such is the condition of the pure associates of the Lord.


"The eighth lunar day of the bright fortnight of the month of Kārttika is known by authorities as Gopāṣṭamī

Morning walk with Srila PrabhupadaIn Chapultepec Park Srila Prabhupada liked to walk on the narrow Road of the Philosophers. The early mornings were cold, and he wore his long saffron coat with hood. The simple canvas shoes he wore would become wet from the dew on the grass. His rapid pace made his younger disciples hustle to keep up. Often Prabhupada's words would go untranslated, and the Mexican boys could catch only a phrase or two. But they were happy to be with their spiritual master. He was interested in the many varieties
