लाला की शरारते.....

एक गोपी के घर लाला माखन खा रहे थे ।
उस समय गोपी ने लाला को पकड लिया ।

...
तब कन्हैया बोले- तेरे धनी की सौगंध खा कर कहता हूँ ।
अब फिर कभी भी तेरे घर में नहीं आऊंगा ।

गोपी ने कहा - मेरे धनी की सौगंध क्यों खाता है ?
कन्हैया ने कहा. तेरे बाप की सौगंध, बस गोपी और ज्यादा खीझ जाती है और लाला को धमकाती है ।
परन्तु तू मेरे घर आया ही क्यों ?

कन्हैया ने कहा - अरी सखी !
तू रोज कथा में जाती है, फिरभी तू मेरा तेरा छोडती नहीं - इस घर का मै धनी हूँ ।
यह घर मेरा है ।

गोपी को आनंद हुआ

एक समय कि बात है कि श्रीभागुरी ऋषि गोविन्द कुण्ड के तट पर भगवत् प्रीति के लिए यज्ञ कर रहे थे. दूर–दूर से गोप-गोपियाँ यज्ञ के लिए द्रव्य ला रही थीं. राधिका एवं उनकी सखियाँ भी दानघाटी के उस पार से दधि, दुग्ध, मक्खन तथा दूध से बने हुए विविध प्रकार के रबडी आदि द्रव्य ला रही थीं. इसी स्थान पर सुबल, मधुमंगल आदि सखाओं के साथ श्रीकृष्ण अपने लाठियों को अड़ाकर बलपूर्वक दान (टोलटैक्स) माँग रहे थे. गोपियों ...के साथ उन लोगों की बहुत नोक–झोंक हुई. कृष्ण ने त्रिभंग ललित रूप में खड़े होकर कहा- क्या ले जा रही ह

Thought Of The Day

So it requires eyes to see God. That eyes you have to prepare. What is that eyes? Premanjana-cchurita-bhakti-vilocanena [Bs. 5.38]. You have to apply eyes' ointment. Just like there is some medicine, eye ointment, which you apply -- you can see very distinctly -- similarly, that ointment is premanjana. If you develop love for God Just like Caitanya Mahaprabhu. He is in ecstasy, always in love. He can see. Similarly, if you develop your love for God, then you can see. Premanjana-cchurita-bhakti-v

KRISHNA - THE SHELL

Today, my son has asked me to brief him the difference between Tortoise and Turtle.  While explaining to my son, I had a wonderful realization, which I would like to share with you all.

 

As the shell of a Tortoise / Turtle acts as a shield to protect from any kind of perils, attacks and also protects from extreme climatic conditions, similarly, the Lord takes the role of a shell just to protect HIS devotees from all problems and perils.

 

As the tortoise / turtle comes out of its shell to enjoy its

Throughway to Happiness

Hare Krsna

Please accept my humble obeisance. All glories to Srila Prabhupada

 

Every one of us is searching after happiness, but we do not know what real happiness is. We see so much advertised about happiness, but practically speaking we see so few happy people. This is because so few people know that the platform of real happiness is beyond temporary things. It is this real happiness that is described in Bhagavad-gita by Lord Krishna to Arjuna.

Happiness is generally perceived through our senses

Hare Krsna

Please accept my humble obeisance. All glories to Srila Prabhupada

 

 

By His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada

Bhakti, devotional service, is transcendental even to mukti, liberation. Generally people are concerned with dharmaarthakāma and moksha. In the beginning, there is dharma (religion), then artha (economic development),kāma (sense gratification), then moksha (merging into the Supreme One). However, bhakti is above all these. Mukti is not very important for a bha

suggestion for krsna and srila prabhupad's devotees

www.iskcondesiretree.net is a simple and wonderful website but what I will suggest www.krishna.com in a short while as well is that as per the deep research,this age in kali yuga is also called as a "christian era"...so even if intend to get away from all the "maya" tending to a sinful life...still we have a learning from typical christian life which is - "every believer can pray and bless".

My purpose of throwing light on this philosophy is, that this website and www.krishna.com should give a sp

Thought Of The Day

So we should be very, very careful that this human form of life should not be wasted even for a moment. That is real life. There is, by, one sloka by Rupa Gosvami. Avyartha-kalatvam [Cc. Madhya 23.18-19]. A devotee should always be alert to see, "Whether this time, one moment passed, whether I have wasted it or I have utilized it?" That is, should be, the point. Ayusah ksana eko 'pi na labhya svarna-kotibhih. This is also material estimation, that one moment of our life cannot be returned in exc

by A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada

Despite the honorable intentions of philanthropists, even their most
efficient programs for helping others don't go far enough.

Srila Prabhupada

IN THE NAME OF philanthropy … people are feeling compassion for suffering humanity throughout the world," (SB 5.8.10) Srila Prabhupada writes. But "no one knows where compassion should be applied. Compassion for the dress of a drowning man is senseless. A man

The Door (Story, Realizations)

Hare Krishna,

I have written this story to be used for preaching purposes and to be distributed among people uninterested in religion and philosophy, and among followers of various religions.

The idea of this story is to interest these people in Krishna-conscious philosophy, without labeling it as such, so as to make it more acceptable to people of other religions. This story is based it on Krishna-conscious philosophy but I have not mentioned Krishna's name anywhere, lest it appears biased or 'se
