The Lord is never Silent

Hare Krsna

Please accept my humble obeisance. All glories to Srila Prabhupada

 

 Nature of God's mercy (daya)
According to the Southern school, God, out of His unbounded compassion, actually suffers whenever His devotees suffer (paradukha-dukhitvam). This should not, however, be construed as a defect or imperfection. He shares in their sufferings even as He participates in their happiness. This only indicates His infinite compassion. Rama, as Valmiki depicts, used to suffer greatly when his subjects

Special reasoning power of the human being

Hare Krsna

Please accept my humble obeisance. All glories to Srila Prabhupada

 

The Bhagavad-gita says that out of many thousands of human beings, one may try to make perfection of his life. Man is an animal, but he has one special prerogative, rational thought. What is that rational thought? Reasoning power, argument. Now, reasoning power is there in dogs and cats as well. Suppose a dog comes up to you; if you say, "Hut!" he'll understand. The dog will understand that you don't want him. So, he ha

Srila Prabhupada's First Talks in America (New York, July 26,1966)

"I cannot be satisfied by serving something that is notme; I can be satisfied only by serving me. But that 'me' I do not know…."

This chanting of Hare Krsna is the process of ceto-darpana-marjanam to cleanse the material dust from the mirror of our mind. The whole process is to dust out the dirty thin

Become Happy Yourself
When I joined brahmacarini ashram  actually I was the first lady to live there at that time (because Prabhupada completely convinced me)  devotees told me to go with them on book distribution. So the first day I joined I went on sankirtan. I was distributing Prabhupada's books I have never read before! But I was reading them together with people on sankirtan. I approached them, opened the book and was reading to them. People listened and bought books. They were buying Prabhu

Prabhupada: Eight millions. And human being, 400,000 species form, there are. So out of that, the civilized man, the best form of human body, that is meant for this purpose, tapo divyam putraka yena suddhyed sattvam [SB 5.5.1], that: "My dear boys, you should not waste your time simply for finding out the necessities of this body and work very hard day and night and forget your own business." What is that own business? Self-realization, "What I am." This is called own business. "Am I this body o

Strong Ropes of Affection

Hare Krsna

Please accept my humble obeisance. All glories to Srila Prabhupada

 

by Radha Govinda Goswami

he all-powerful Supreme Lord shows that He can be
conquered by the power of His devotees' pure love.

The Vedic scriptures describe how Krsna, the Supreme Lord, enjoys eternal pastimes with His devotees, both in the spiritual world and in this world when He periodically descends. Because Krsna wants the deepest loving exchanges, in the intimacy of love for Him some of His purest devotees forget that

The Superintendence of God

Hare Krsna

Please accept my humble obeisance. All glories to Srila Prabhupada

 

We should always know that God is ever kind to us. Despite our gross disobedience to the laws of God's nature, the Lord is kind enough to look after our maintenance. Water is one of the most important items for our maintenance, because without water we can neither produce food grains nor quench our thirst. Water is also required very liberally for many other purposes. Thus the Lord has preserved water on three fourths o

Thought Of The Day

So bhakti-marga is not very difficult. Very easy. Man-mana bhava mad-bhakto mad-yaji mam namaskuru [Bg. 18.65]. Any child can do it. Any child, if he sees the form of Lord Krsna in the temple, he remembers, and he continues to think of Krsna. Man-mana bhava mad-bhakto. And if you think of Krsna always, automatically you become devotee. Man-mana bhava mad-bhakto. And then mad-yaji, little offering. Patram puspam phalam toyam yo me bhaktya prayacchati [Bg. 9.26]. Where is the difficulty? Little fl

Desperate Need

-         are chalu! Chalu! Chalu!

The female voice pushed me from behind. It was fast train from Mira Road to Churchgate.

It was crowded but somehow I entered to the train thinking if I miss this train I will be late for the Gaura Arati at Chowpatty Mandir.

Then I thought 'oh my God! I am so eager to see You…!' with these thoughts I started to chant my rounds (or murmer, who knows?!).

My ears were plucked with ear plucks, seems I wanted to hear only the Holy Names. But no!
