Thought Of The Day

So the Krsna consciousness movement is meant for showing mercy to the innocent who are suffering in this material world. That is wanted. It is not daridra-narayana seva, that "I am very rich man. I am rich Narayana, and therefore I can serve the daridra-narayana." There is no question of serving. That is not. No. The fact is everyone is suffering. There is nobody... Because asad-grahat. Sada samudvigna-dhiyam asad-grahat [SB 7.5.5]. Anyone within this material..., he is suffering, full of anxiet

People are Our Best Friends

People are Our Best Friends

Krishna The Supreme Person

Do You imagine a strange person becomes Your best friend at the time You preach to him? It happens, because Krishna smiles in his heart as Paramatma, the Supersoul. Paramatma is the best friend of every living being. When You become Her instrument in preaching Krishna Consciousness the human being becomes the best friend not only with the Supersoul, but with You too, as Her instrument. When you really become humble and devoted you can see a miracle: Paramatma's friendl

The "letter of the law" versus the "spirit of the law" is an idiomatic antithesis. When one obeys the letter of the law, but not the spirit, one is obeying the literal interpretation of the words (the "letter") of the law,

Thought Of The Day

So Krsna is present here in this temple. This temple is meant for this purpose, that you come here, see Krsna, and become attached to Him. Then you will see Him twenty-four hours. This is the process. Not that, I have several times explained, that this Krsna is marble statue. No. This is naraki-buddhih. Arcye visnau sila-dhir gurusu nara-matir vaisnave jati buddhir, naraki buddhih. Naraki buddhih. This is warned. Krsna is here. Krsna is here in the temple, but He has come mercifully to be seen b

Great Men and Greatness

In educated society today, we are exposed to this concept of 'Great Men'. These Giants, these Tall men are said to rewrite the history of the world with their magnificent ideas and actions.

From a very young age, we are advised to read their biographies, their books etc. We are advised to emulate them and strive to develop a character like them. We are encouraged to be just like them.

 

The realization that I had never possessed the inclination to do all of the above, came to me a few days ago.

Tamāla Krishna: How do we enter into the modes of goodness?

Prabhupāda: Just try to follow the four principles as we have prescribed: no intoxication, no gambling, no illicit sex, and no meat-eating. That’s all. This is goodness. These prohibitions are there. Why? Just to keep you in goodness. In every religion… Now, in the Ten Commandments also, I see that “Thou shall not kill.” The

Thought Of The Day

So Krsna consciousness movement means to bring him to the right position of consciousness. Consciousness we have got. The more it is covered, dull, it cannot respond. But it can be brought into the proper existence, and the process is hearing, hearing. Go on hearing, hearing. Krsna has given us one chance, this ear. If we properly use it... Therefore Vedic knowledge is to be heard, hearing. Listen. It is therefore called sruti. The Vedic instruction has to be gotten from the right person through
