Dealing With Money

Hare Krsna

Please accept my humble obeisance. All glories to Srila Prabhupada

 

by His Divine Grace A.C.Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada

 Money is spiritual energy

 
‘Money is the honey’ goes so far as it is employed for Krsna consciousness. The body is undoubtedly a material vehicle, but when it acts for Krsna consciousness it becomes spiritualized. By the grace of Krsna, material energy can be transformed to spiritual energy & spiritual energy is never deteriorated. To be in Krsna consciousness means

Realization of God through Bhakti.

 

From the teachings of Lord Krishna (The absolute consciousness) on Bhakti:

 

Heart is a combination of your Mind and Intellect….pure emotions and subtle understandings…you place both mind and intellect in me. Direct all your emotions towards me and also your understandings towards me…both should go together. If love for God is without understanding then it is incomplete and delusion, one may love certain form or some ideas about God without understanding, that is

The Change

The Change

By Mahatma Das

When devotees look at their obstacles to advancement in Krsna consciousness, they sometimes doubt whether they will ever be able to overcome all of them (for those of you who haven’t taken my seminar on prayer, we ask participants to make a list of obstacles they face in devotional service and formulate prayers to overcome those obstacles). It is easy to become discouraged and thus feel it may not even be worth praying to overcome obstacles. Or you may think that if you g

Every thoughtful human being asks the fundamental question, "What is the purpose of life ?" Unfortunately, our difficulty in finding ultimate meaning is compounded by the fact that thousands of conflicting philosophies, religions, and ideologies and their proponents compete for our loyalty. Here Srila Prabhupada provides some simple and enlightening guidance.


Today's subject matter is our relationship with God. That is self-realization. The sankirta movement is the easiest process for self-realiz

Vedic Physics - The Nature Of Space, Time, And Matter

 

(Sadaputa das: Vedic Cosmography and Astronomy, Chapter 2)

 

  "By Him even the great sages and demigods are placed into illusion, as one is bewildered by the illusory representations of water seen in fire, or land seen on water. Only because of Him do the material universes, temporarily manifested by the three modes of nature, appear factual, although they are unreal" (SB 1.1.1).   Our ideas of the nature of space, time, and matter are essenti

Thought Of The Day

So it doesn't matter whether one is rich, one is poor, the material condition, both of them will have to suffer. The material condition. So karmatmakam. If you continue to absorb your mind in fruitive activities, that "I shall work and I shall get the result and I shall enjoy," this is called karmatmakam. So if you do not fulfill your desire, then nature will give you next life another body to fulfill that desire. This is going on. So therefore it is parabhava. Your business is that to know that

Good to be a Servant of God

Good to be a Servant of God

2514886010?profile=original

Our devotees regularly distribute books in the trains, and often many Muslims buy our books. They respond better than many Hindus.

Once, Nitai met a Muslim who purchased three books (Bhagavad Gita, Krishna book, and the Ramayana). The man wanted more books, so Nitai took a contact number. Finally, the Muslim asked our devotee's name.

"Nitai Dasa."
The Muslim was impressed and said, "Oh, it is very good that you want to become dasa. Many foolish people wish to become God."

Krishna Consciousness

The aim of this Krishna consciousness movement is to bring all living entities back to their original consciousness. All living entities within the material world are, to varying degrees, afflicted with a type of madness. This Krishna consciousness movement aims at curing man of his material disease and reestablishing his original consciousness. In a Bengali poem a great Vaisnava poet has written, "When a man is haunted by ghosts, he can only speak nonsense. Similarly, anyone who is under the in
