A spiritual movement is based not on management. It is not based on the principle of getting things done. No doubt utility is a principle. But ultimately the greatest utilitarian principle is when our relationships are based on love and trust. As a management technique we say one thing which isn’t what we really mean, to try to get somebody to do something that they don’t want to do, or you say various things which are not exactly the way it is so that you can get what you want form someone one

People of this world are so much conditioned to the news of the radio, the television and the newspapers where everything is based on the relative activities of conditioned souls and therefore we have a certain conditioned idea of what is possible and what is not possible. When we read history books about various wars and various discoveries and various political revolutions, they are all done by people who are influenced by material nature. Therefore what can such infinitesimal conditioned bein

A   wandering ascetic- a truly holy man- reached the outskirts of a village. Weary and aching after his long trek, he sat down to rest under a tree.

A villager came running up to him and demanded, "Give me the stone, the precious stone!"

"Who are you, my friend?" asked the ascetic. "What stone do you seek?"

"Last night, God appeared to me in a dream," the villager explained to him. "He told me that a sanyasin would meet me on the outskirts of my village, and that he would give me a precious sto

    I am Indra, the god of war.  I have decided to tell you the story of Narasimha.  Vishnu has, yet again, come to the rescue.  Forgive the sarcasm that you may be detecting.  Vishnu has a habit of endearing himself to mortals by coming to their aid...all the time.  Though Vishnu has taken many Avatar states to protect the integrity of the gods,  he jumps at the opportunity to grac

Krsna claims, aham bija-pradah pita. Krsna has relationship not only in the human society, in animal society, in bird society, in plant society, in insect society, in demigod society. Aham bija-pradah pita, sarva-yonisu kaunteya [Bg. 14.4]. He doesn't claim that "I am interested with the Indians," or "the Hindus" or "the brahmanas," or "this." No. He claims all forms of body. So therefore these foreigners, so-called foreigners, they have got already relationship with Krsna. Nitya-siddha krsna-bh

In his purport to Srimad Bhagavatam verse 1.15.8, Srila Prabhupada refers to the pastime with Maya Danava.

Unfortunately the present civilization, they are not meant for decreasing. They are simply increasing. The Western civlization means increasing the means of sense gratification, "machine, machine, machine, machine." So, and the brahminical culture means samo damo titiksa.

We are practiced to sex life or sense gratific
