Hare Krsna Prabhus,
Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

Below is a letter a lady sent to Krsna.com after an uncomfortable experience with a book distributor. She complains about what I have for many years been trying to get sankirtan devotees to avoid doing. A devotee handed her four books and gave her the impression they were free. But when she didn't give enough money, he took three of them back.

Please, Prabhus, when we hand people books pl

Thought Of The Day

So we have to understand, as Krsna says, bijo 'ham sarva-bhutanam: "I am the seed." Such subtle things, how it is coming out? In the small seed what is the chemical composition? You put the seed, sow the seed, anywhere and put little water, that tejo-vari-mrd-vinimayah, but the things are coming out differently. How the variety is possible? Therefore we cannot mix up. There is rose scent within the earth. Otherwise wherefrom the rose is getting its scent? There is. Punyo gandhah prthivyam ca. Pr

Offer your love & Reunite with him

Spark is nothing but fire. It has all the qualities of the fire. But when the spark gets separated from the fire and falls on ash then it loses its fiery quality and it becomes ash. Similarly we are parts and parcel of the Lord and in the spiritual world we were happily living with Krishna. However we misused our intelligence and decided to enjoy separately from the lord. Krishna confirms this in Bhagavad – gita (15.7), “The living entities in this conditioned world are My eternal fragmental par

Escape from Eternal Time

Hare Krsna

Please accept my humble obeisance. All glories to Srila Prabhupada

 

November 1st, 1973 

by His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada

Srila Prabhupada

DHATARASTRA was the eldest son of his father, and therefore according to law he was to be installed on the throne of Hastinapura. He was disqualified, however, from his rightful claim because he was blind from birth. Nevertheless he could not forget this bereavement, and his disappointment was somewhat compensated after the death of Pandu, h

Leaders & their Intelligence

Hare Krsna

Please accept my humble obeisance. All glories to Srila Prabhupada

 

Leaders & their Intelligence

Once there were the men of a large caravan of 1000 wagons, on realizing their party was too large to be manageable, held a meeting and picked two leaders to each lead 500 wagons. Though both leaders were skilful handlers of animals, only one had real management foresight. So the intelligent one said to the other, “It is impossible for us to travel together — will you go first, or should I?” T

Chanting Beats Stress

 
In our everyday life we are stressed by many way.To get rid of stress we try many types of ideas as we go for physical trainings or we make some adventurous plans or we watch television, watch films, read books, go somewhere for favourite foods etc.Ultimately do we get rid of stress completely? No, all ideas work for some time and again we get stressed. In this way we feel stress seriously and the result we become sick.
Let me share my personal experience about the effect of stress on me and how

 Hare Krishna Prabhujis and Matajis,
Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada and Srila Gurudeva.

In Srimad Bhagavatam 3.14.48 there is a beautiful description of the qualities of pure devotees. By meditating on these qualities we can also advance in devotional service.

Jai Srila Prabhupada!

One who is absorbed in Krishna bhavanamrita has no material benefits to ask from Krishna. Instead such a person prays to the Lord for the benediction of being able to spread His glories all over the world.

Introduction

annad bhavanti bhutani

yajnad bhavati parjanyo

Bg 3.14

All living bodies subsist on food grains, which are produced from rains. Rains are produced by performance of yajna [sacrifice], and yajna is born of prescribed duties.

Nourishing the body spiritually

Srila Baladeva Vidyabhusana, a great commentator on the Bhagavad-gita, writes as follows:

Cleansing The Heart

Hare Krsna

Please accept my humble obeisance. All glories to Srila Prabhupada

 

Excerpt from a Lecture Given At Conway Hall, London, By His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada


Clean_HeartToday's subject matter is our relationship with God. That is self-realization. The sankirtana movement is the easiest process for self-realization because it cleanses the heart. Our misunderstanding of our identity is due to the dust covering the mirror of the mind. In a mirror which is covered with dust one canno

Kartika is glorified in the Puranas as very special for making spiritual advancement and the best place to be in Kartika is Sri Braja Dham. In fact this month is known as Damodar, since in the middle of this month, the Lord performed His very enchanting Damodar Lila. Kartika month also represents Radharani, and devotees perform special austerities to gain Her favor.
With great happiness in our hearts, we invite everyone to join in the auspi

Tolerating

My biggest obstical in spiritual growth so far has been the tendency to use certain substances to numb out or get high whenever life becomes uncomfortable.  I simply cannot allow myself to feel pain, emptiness, depression, angst etc. without "using" something. 

 

According to the laws of Karma, every action produces an equal and opposite reaction. This means that in the big picture (the really big picture), every experience of pleasure is balanced by and equal amount of suffering.

 

To me, this is t

A Krishna conscious person does not even want to stop the cycle of birth and death. He simply prays, " I may take birth as You like, but my only prayer is that I may be engaged in Your service.

2514884179?profile=originalIt is exciting to know who was the cow who participated in Lord Krsna’s pastimes, or who did severe penance to please the Lord or who appeared from the churning of the ocean. Are all the cows alike? Holy scriptures discriminate, as does Science – Bos Indicus and Bos Taurus. The book throws light on these aspects while discussing the different existing indigenous cow breeds of India; differences between indigenous cows and exotic cows; and difference between buffalo milk and cow milk. It gives bo
