My mind, my enemy

Anxieties

Adhyatmika miseries are those caused by the body and mind themselves. Suppose I lose someone who is dear to me. Then my mind will be disturbed. This is also suffering. So diseases of the body or mental disturbances are adhyatmikamiseries. (Journey of Self-Discovery3.1)

Aspire to be Controlled;

Not a Controller!!!

The most disgusting fact in this world is that we all aspire to be the controllers of others – right from our house; office / business, society, state, country and the world as a whole.

We foolish human beings cannot have control on our senses; control on our thoughts; actions and results; but we try to control the rest of the world.

 

Many a foolish Mayavadi Philosophy followers claim themselves as “GOD”, referring to the quote in the scriptures “Aham Bra

The Day I Dressed Radha Gopinath

2514886368?profile=original

Radharani just wouldn't allow me put that hair piece on her body. It just wouldn't go on.

 

 

 

Around 1986 my wife Mohini Rupa regularly dressed Radha Gopinath. This was at the Kings Cross/Darlinghurst temple.

One morning she was feeling too ill to do the service, and she couldn’t get anyone by phone to replace her. She sent me at 4:00 am to dress Radha Gopinath.

I was not acquainted with where all the necessary items were kept. A Deity paraphernelia room can be quite complicated, with an order to it

Dealing With Money

by His Divine Grace A.C.Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada

 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

Realization of God through Bhakti.

 

From the teachings of Lord Krishna (The absolute consciousness) on Bhakti:

 

Heart is a combination of your Mind and Intellect….pure emotions and subtle understandings…you place both mind and intellect in me. Direct all your emotions towards me and also your understandings towards me…both should go together. If love for God is without understanding then it is incomplete and delusion, one may love certain form or some ideas about God without understanding, that is

The Change

The Change

By Mahatma Das

When devotees look at their obstacles to advancement in Krsna consciousness, they sometimes doubt whether they will ever be able to overcome all of them (for those of you who haven’t taken my seminar on prayer, we ask participants to make a list of obstacles they face in devotional service and formulate prayers to overcome those obstacles). It is easy to become discouraged and thus feel it may not even be worth praying to overcome obstacles. Or you may think that if you g

Every thoughtful human being asks the fundamental question, "What is the purpose of life ?" Unfortunately, our difficulty in finding ultimate meaning is compounded by the fact that thousands of conflicting philosophies, religions, and ideologies and their proponents compete for our loyalty. Here Srila Prabhupada provides some simple and enlightening guidance.


Today's subject matter is our relationship with God. That is self-realization. The sankirta movement is the easiest process for self-realiz
