Thought Of The Day

If one has got sincere desire to serve Krsna in any position, in any body, in any circumstance, he is jivan-mukta. That is paramahamsa. Jivan-mukta means although he's living in this body, he's paramahamsa. He has nothing to do with this body. He has everything to do with Krsna.

All Glories To Srila Prabhupada

All Glories To Chaitanya Charan Das,

The Bollywood movie Oh My God! fittingly exposed the arrogance and hypocrisy of godmen. It also made several important points about specific religious practices as well as the generic role of religion in society.

• Do we need middlemen to approach God?

Saved by the Book by Navina Nirada Dasa

Navina Nirada Dasa
ONCE IN San Diego a devotee was distributing small books in a parking lot. As he approached one car he saw a young man sitting in the driver's seat. When the devotee knocked on the window, the man shouted, "Look, just leave me alone! Get outta here!"


The devotee went on his way, but then he thought, "This guy's pretty bad off. He needs a book." So the devotee returned and stuck a small book under the windshield wiper.

Later the young man showed up at the San Diego temple and told

Thought Of The Day

In this way we are wandering throughout the universe, because unless we become Krsna conscious, unless we have taken fully shelter at the lotus feet of Krsna, there is no stoppage of this repetition of birth and death, neither there is any peace or happiness. We must know this from all angles of vision and stick to Krsna consciousness very rigidly. Then we shall be happy. Therefore Prahlada Maharaja requests Lord Nrsimhadeva that "I have tried life after life to get peace and become happy and fr

Fallen soul

While chanting yesterday morning I had another realization. I realized that whatever material benefits I get I try to put them as His mercy similarly whatever hardships come my way I accept them as a lenient punishment for my unpardonable past mistakes. But whatever little spiritual progress I am making I ascribe them to my own efforts, out worldly I may offer them to Krishna but deep inside me I think they are partly because of my own Sadhna Bhakti as well. Can you see Mahaprabhu how crooked my

How to conquer this all-devouring sinful enemy - Lust? There is a method ... and it is a sure 100% method; and the Supreme Lord showed us this method in a wonderful way. He sent to this world, lust personified Ravana. Ravana was the most striking emblem of lust in the history of all creation.

Sita Devi is the wife of Rama. Sita is none other than an expansion of Lakshmi Devi, the goddess of fortune.

All the fortune of the world is the energy of Sita. What is fortune? Fortune does not simply mea

Thought Of The Day

So people have fallen so much. But we should not be like that. Those who have taken to Krsna consciousness... Of course, a Krsna conscious person is never afraid of any species of life -- provided there is Krsna consciousness continuing. That's all. That is wanted. We are not afraid of becoming a dog, provided I can remember Krsna. This is our position. Just like Bhaktivinoda Thakura says, kita janmaobi, iccha yadi tora. Bhaktivinoda Thakura said, "I don't mind if I am born as a kita, or an inse

Among the sacred cities of the world, Vrindavana is probably the least well known. Yet this small town in northern India ranks with Rome, Jerusalem, and Mecca as a center of worship. It was in Vrindavana that the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Lord Krishna, displayed His transcendental pastimes during His appearance on this planet some five thousand years ago. Over the course of centuries, the places of Krishna’s pastimes were lost to human memory, until they were rediscovered in the sixteent
