What is real trust and confidence?

It is confidence in Krsna, that “Krsna has given me life, Krsna has sent me here. so He’ll give me my maintenance. so according to my capacity, let me do something, and through that source, Krsna’s maintenance will come.” (Lecture on Srimad-Bhagavatam 1.5.22, 3 August 1974, Vrndavana)

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

By such celibacy they are able to raise the semen to the brain. Thus they become most intelligent and develop very sharp memories. Their minds are never disturbed or diverted from contemplation on the Absolute Truth, nor are they ever contaminated by desire for material enjoyment.

CC Adi 2.17, Purport:

In this verse from Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam (11.6.47), vāta-vāsanāḥ refers to mendicants who do not care about anything material, including clothing, but who depend wholly on nature. Such sages

Ignorance can be removed by gradual acceptance of the principles of Kṛṣṇa consciousness. Kṛṣṇa consciousness is awakened by different types of sacrifices to the demigods, sacrifice to Brahman, sacrifice in celibacy, in household life, in controlling the senses, in practicing mystic yoga, in penance, in forgoing material possessions, in studying the Vedas, and in partaking of the social institution called varṇāśrama-dharma.

So therefore when we come to the full-fledged human form of life, developed consciousness, we must utilize it, as it is advised by Krsna Himself, man-mana bhava mad-bhakto mad-yaji mam namaskuru [Bg. 18.65]. "Always think of Me, man-mana," And who can think of Krsna unless he's devotee? Man-mana bhava mad-bhakto. Who is nondevotee, he'll think of something else. "Why I think of Krsna?" Therefore to stick to this principle, to apply the mind always in Krsna, that means he's devotee. This is devot

What we eat and drink influences our conscience

Posted by Purushottam Nitai Das on February 12, 2013 at 8:37am

Our actions are determined by the modes of nature which we acquire. Those who are in the modes of goodness are positive in their life and believe doing things righteously. Those in passion often try to achieve things by any means. Those in ignorance are too lethargic to even think about themselves.

Persons in the mode of passion and ignorance do not have concept of who is God and who should be the object of their worship. Srila Prabhupada explains that during World War 2, a man in Kolkata worship
