"There is no other way out of this great ocean of Nescience except the unalloyed mercy of the Absolute Godhead. Living entity although superior in nature in comparison to the nature of matter, he is by association dependant and weaker than the material nature. The Absolute Godhead is the creator of all entities, He is the maintainer and deliverer of all entitie

Book Devotee Special : Nidra-Devi Dasi in Denver
As many of you know, my service in ISKCON is to travel worldwide to inspire devotees to distribute Prabhupada's books, but quite often when I visit temples, someone inspires me. I recently experienced this in Denver. Nidra Dasi joined in 1976 and has been distributing since that time. She made a vow to distribute books every day.
She has the most dedicated devotional schedule that I've ever seen. She starts her day at 2:00 A.M. every morning and ch
So long we are in the jurisdiction of three modes of material nature, up to that time we shall disagree with one another and there will be trouble. Therefore the Vaisnava religion is meant for the peaceful person. No trouble. Samah sarvesu bhutesu mad-bhaktim labhate param [Bg. 18.54]. Those who have come to the stage of seeing everyone on the equal terms... Equal terms means spiritually. That we invite everyone. There is no discrimination. We don't care for the designations. We invite everyone

Sometimes Bhakti is observed as similar to the activities of the karmis, but there is difference. One is bhakti, one is going back to home, back to Godhead; and the other is going forward to the hellish condition of life by the same activities. This is the technique. How it is possible? It is possible. By practical example, it is said in the sastras... Just like if you take more quantity of milk preparation, you get diarrhea. But the same milk preparation, yogurt, is there. It will stop diarrhea
Dear all,
We hope that you are doing very well in your family and career.
In the past many great personalities have praised Bhagavad Gita because of the wisdom it contains. We found that people were finding it difficult to access this great wisdom because of their busy life and lack of interest. So with this in mind, Gita Champions League (GCL) contest was started to spread the profound wisdom of Bhagavad Gita in an interesting manner.
We are very happy to announce that we are organizing

Better close the United Nation organization because it has not had any practical effect. But talking about Krishna, just see how it is giving practical effect. You are assembled here from Europe, America, and Africa, Canada, and practically all over the world, but you are united nation. You are united nation simply by talking about Krishna.

Here we continue an exchange between His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada and the poet Allen Ginsberg. It took place on May 12, 1969, in Columbus, Ohio.
Srila Prabhupada: Krsna consciousness is not a bluff. It is real science, real authority. One simply has to understand it. That's all. Therefore, in Caitanya-caritamrta it is said, krsna yei bhaje sei bada catura: Unless one is very, very intelligent, he c

On June 15, 1974, in Paris, His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada received a visit from two priests and two Christian scholars. (Before his guests arrived, Srila Prabhupada briefly noted the Vedic literature's predictions for our age.)
Srila Prabhupada: In the Twelfth Canto of Srimad-Bhagavatam this current Age of Kali, the age of quarrel and hypocrisy, is described:

Here we conclude an exchange between His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada and the poet Allen Ginsberg. It took place on May 12, 1969, in Columbus, Ohio.
Allen Ginsberg: If you're identifying love, however, with the sabda [sound] Krsna, what of those people who identify love with the sabda Allah?
Srila Prabhupada: Well, of course, if that sabda identifies with God, we have no objection. As Caitanya Mahaprab
A Dance for Shri Madhav – It Is Mayapur
Her fair skin was shining like a sun in the evening darkness of the Altar room. Her hands were like of two wings which were trying to fly over and over the sky. Her eyes were gazing sometimes to the Lotus Feet of the Lord before her and sometimes to her own heart full of thoughts…
She moved in tune to the mridanga which was sounding in the heart “tak tik taka taka tak…” While she was dancing her sari moved here and there trying to make her dance to the Lor
The Director of the Documentary film 'Krishna- History or Myth'
Did Krishna exist?
Most certainly, says Dr Manish Pandit, a nuclear medicine physician who teaches in the United Kingdom, proffering astronomical, archaeological, linguistic and oral evidences to make his case.
"I used to think of Krishna is a part of Hindu myth and mythology. Imagine my surprise when I came across Dr Narhari Achar (a professor of physics at the University of Memphis, Tennessee, in the US) and his research in 2004 and

Just like in the forest, you cannot send your fire brigade. That is not possible. Neither you can go there to help the animals for extinguishing the fire by bucketful of waters. That is also not possible. Helpless. Similarly, this samsara davanala, you cannot extinguish it. So how it will be extinguished? Samsara davanala-lidha-l

This is the conclusion of a conversation between His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada and reporters in Melbourne, Australia, on June 29, 1974.
Srila Prabhupada: So we are living beings. But we are not the Supreme Being.
Reporter 3: And yet God is inside us.
Srila Prabhupada: God is inside, outside everywhere.
Reporter 6: Your Divine Grace, who do you think Jesus Christ was?

What follows is a conversation between His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada and some of his disciples. Recorded in July 1975 in Denver, it begins in an automobile and continues outside.
Srila Prabhupada: Yesterday you were putting forward the idea that the body is no more than a machine. We also accept that. In the Bhagavad-gita it is said, yantrarudhani: "The body is a machine." The word yantra means "mac
