First We Must Understand What God Is

Hare Krsna

Please accept my humble obeisance. All glories to Srila Prabhupada

Krsna

Devotee: [Reads Srimad-Bhagavatam 1.1.1] "O my Lord, Sri Krsna, son of Vasudeva, O all-pervading Personality of Godhead. I offer my respectful obeisances unto You. I meditate upon Lord Sri Krsna because He is the Absolute Truth and the primeval cause of all causes of the creation, sustenance and

Thought Of The Day

So this arca-vigraha which you are worshiping, it is recommended by sadhu, by acarya, by sastra. It is not poetic imagination. Don't think that Krsna's form has been carved by the sculptor by some poetic imagination. No. Sadhu sastra guru vakya. It is confirmed by the sadhu, by sastra, by acarya. So why? To give us facility. Give us facility. We cannot see God by this blunt, materialistic eyes. Materialistic eyes means everything we think in the, with reference to our sense gratification. That i

This penance was so severe that it disturbed the demigods. In fact, the demigods requested Lord Brahma to stop him. The chief of the demigods, Lord B

Thought Of The Day

Hari-nama, this chanting of Hare Krsna mantra, one should practice always. Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna, Krsna Krsna, Hare Hare/ Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare. So preksaniya ihitam dhyayet. This is meditation. Dhyayet chuddha-bhavena, suddha-bhavena. Not artificial. But even if you do artificially, you will be purified by chanting. Artificially, if we do... That is in the sastra. Still, the chanting of the holy name is so powerful that it will make you... Because it is directly associatin

Thought Of The Day

And as soon as you come to Krsna consciousness, then you are in direct touch. We are direct in touch with Krsna, but it is covered by some cloud of ignorance. Otherwise, nothing can exist without Krsna's touch. That is not possible. Maya tatam idam sarvam jagad avyakta-murtina [Bg. 9.4]. Krsna is... One Krsna is expanded all over the creation. Maya tatam idam sarvam. Isavasyam idam sarvam [Iso mantra 1]. Krsna is everywhere, but due to the contamination of material modes of nature, we are thinki
