Thought Of The Day

So this... Real religion is love, how to love God. That is real religion Dharma, what is that? Yato bhaktir... Sa vai pumsam paro dharmo [SB 1.2.6]. There are different kinds of dharma, or religious system. But real religious system means how we have learned to love God. That's all. Nothing more. No ritualistic ceremony, no formula, nothing. If your heart is always crying for God, that is perfect religion. That is perfect religion. Therefore Caitanya Mahaprabhu says, sunyayitam jagat sarvam: "Oh

REVIVING OUR ORIGINAL BRILLIANCE

Sparks are beautiful as long as they are in the fire.

He is Vasudev, we have both Vaasudevas. Krishna is Vaasudev, Balarama is also Vaasudev. By that definition, son of Vasudev is Vaasudev. And om namo bhagavate, that’s important part, Bhagavate.

Thought Of The Day

So the summary is there. Krsna is sitting, sarvasya ca aham, hrdi, within the heart, sannivistah, "I am seated there." Isvarah sarva-bhutanam [Bg. 18.61]. And He is giving intelligence and forgetfulness. Why one is forgetful of Krsna, and why one is conscious of Krsna? That is also due to Krsna. One who has tried to forget Krsna -- then Krsna is giving him opportunity to forget Krsna. One who is trying to know Krsna, then Krsna is giving intelligence to know Krsna. This is the process. Krsna is

Nothing But Service

Hare Krsna

Srila Prabhupada

Vrndavana, October 21, 1972

A devotee of Krsna has no desire for material
gains; he only wants to serve God.

The Krsna consciousness message is Krsnas tu bhagavan svayam [Bhag.1.3.28]. There is no other Bhagavan. Bhagavan means full of six opulences. So Krsna is completely, cent percent full of all opulences. Even Narayana, He is ninety-six percent. And Lord Siva is eig

Thought Of The Day

That is explained by Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu: jivera svarupa haya nitya krsna dasa [Cc. Madhya 20.108-109]. That is his real charactertistic. He is eternal servant of God, or Krsna. This is characteristic. So if you don't serve God, then you have to serve dog. But you have to serve. You see practically. So many godless persons, they have no family, no affection, no position, no home, nothing. But still he keeps a dog to serve. This is the characteristic. Because he has nothing to serve, he has n

the Lord's Grace

The Lord’s Grace is like rain - pure water, falling equally and consistently everywhere. However, the same rainwater’s taste gets changed according to the soil through which it flows, and the container which holds it. So also, the Lord’s words are sweet to some, bitter to others. The Lord’s ways are mysterious. You do not know the real reasons behind the actions of the Lord. You cannot understand the motives of another man who like you has intentions, likes and dislikes. But yet, how easily you
