Hare Krsna Prabhus,
Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

Below is a letter a lady sent to Krsna.com after an uncomfortable experience with a book distributor. She complains about what I have for many years been trying to get sankirtan devotees to avoid doing. A devotee handed her four books and gave her the impression they were free. But when she didn't give enough money, he took three of them back.

So we have to understand, as Krsna says, bijo 'ham sarva-bhutanam: "I am the seed." Such subtle things, how it is coming out? In the small seed what is the chemical composition? You put the seed, sow the seed, anywhere and put little water, that tejo-vari-mrd-vinimayah, but the things are coming out differently. How the variety is possible? Therefore we cannot mix up. There is rose scent within the earth. Otherwise wherefrom the rose is getting its scent? There is. Punyo gandhah prthivyam ca. Pr

Spark is nothing but fire. It has all the qualities of the fire. But when the spark gets separated from the fire and falls on ash then it loses its fiery quality and it becomes ash. Similarly we are parts and parcel of the Lord and in the spiritual world we were happily living with Krishna. However we misused our intelligence and decided to enjoy separately from the lord. Krishna confirms this in Bhagavad – gita (15.7), “The living entities in this conditioned world are My eternal fragmental par

DHATARASTRA was the eldest son of his father, and therefore according to law he was to be installed on the throne of Hastinapura.

Leaders & their Intelligence

Once there were the men of a large caravan of 1000 wagons, on realizing their party was too large to be manageable, held a meeting and picked two leaders to each lead 500 wagons. Though both leaders were skilful handlers of animals, only one had real management foresight. So the intelligent one said to the other, “It is impossible for us to travel together — will you go first, or should I?” T

In our everyday life we are stressed by many way.To get rid of stress we try many types of ideas as we go for physical trainings or we make some adventurous plans or we watch television, watch films, read books, go somewhere for favourite foods etc.Ultimately do we get rid of stress completely? No, all ideas work for some time and again we get stressed. In this way we feel stress seriously and the result we become sick.

SRILA PRABHUPADA SPEAKS ABOUT - 'FOOD GRAINS, RAIN AND SUBSISTENCE OF LIFE'

Posted by Janaka Dasa (Dr Jagadeesh TG) on October 13, 2012 at 4:00pm

Introduction

annad bhavanti bhutani

parjanyad anna-sambhavah

yajnad bhavati parjanyo

yajnah karma-samudbhavah

Bg 3.14

All living bodies subsist on food grains, which are produced from rains. Rains are produced by performance of yajna [sacrifice], and yajna is born of prescribed duties.

Nourishing the body spiritually

Srila Baladeva Vidyabhusana, a great commentator on the Bhagavad-gita, writes as follows:

Excerpt from a Lecture Given At Conway Hall, London, By His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada

Clean_Heart Today's subject matter is our relationship with God. That is self-realization. The sankirtana movement is the easiest process for self-realization because it cleanses the heart. Our misunderstanding of our identity is due to the dust covering the mirror of the mind. In a mirror which is covered with dust one canno

Sri Sri Krishna Balaram Mandir Kartika Parikrama Schedule

Kartika is glorified in the Puranas as very special for making spiritual advancement and the best place to be in Kartika is Sri Braja Dham. In fact this month is known as Damodar, since in the middle of this month, the Lord performed His very enchanting Damodar Lila. Kartika month also represents Radharani, and devotees perform special austerities to gain Her favor.

My biggest obstical in spiritual growth so far has been the tendency to use certain substances to numb out or get high whenever life becomes uncomfortable. I simply cannot allow myself to feel pain, emptiness, depression, angst etc. without "using" something.

According to the laws of Karma, every action produces an equal and opposite reaction. This means that in the big picture (the really big picture), every experience of pleasure is balanced by and equal amount of suffering.
