Lord Nrsimhadeva Kills the Demon Hiranyakasipu

Lord Nrsimhadeva Kills the Demon Hiranyakasipu There was once a great demon who was overwhelmed with rage: his brother Hiranyaksa had just been killed by the incarnation of Vishnu known as Lord Varaha. Thus he became very determined to become the emperor of the entire universe. In order to increase his power, he performed very powerful austerities. 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

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.

When Krishna blinks & When he does not blink?

Posted by Purushottam Nitai Das on October 20, 2012 at 6:30pm

Krishna has a unique quality – he blinks his eyes & he does not blink his eyes. Krishna blinks to overlook our mistakes & he never blinks when he sees us sincerely being engaged in devotional service.

In this world we find just the opposite. People blink when you do something good to them and never blink if you are doing something which is unpalatable to them.

For e.g. A person may work tirelessly for a company but the company does not hesitate even for a moment to throw him out, if the management
