Thought Of The Day

So according to different grades of person, the taste is also different. You cannot expect that the taste will be the same. "One man's food, another man's poison." This is an English proverb. One man's food is another man's poison. Therefore the society is divided. That is scientific method, class. Catur-varnyam maya srstam guna-karma-vibhagasah [Bg. 4.13]. That is God's creation, four classes, men. And the fifth class is almost rejected. Up to fourth class. First class, second class, third clas

A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada

There's only one sure way to control the mind's desires.

A lecture given in Bombay, January 4, 1975

vaikarikad vikurvanan
manas-tattvam ajayata
yat-sankalpa-vikalpabhyam
vartate kama-sambhavah

From the false ego of goodness, another transformation takes place. From this evolves the mind, whose thoughts and reflections give rise to desire. (Srimad-Bhagavatam 3.26.27)

Thought Of The Day

So if you accept Krsna consciousness, then life of ignorance will finish and you come to the light and become liberated. If you come to Krsna consciousness, the light is there. Therefore the darkness of life is dissipated. Therefore it is said, aradhito yadi haris tapasa tatah kim: [Narada-pancaratra] "If you have learned how to worship Hari, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, then there is no more use of your tapasya." [break] ...aradhito yadi haris tapasa tatah kim: "And if you cannot underst

hare rama

One who always fights on behalf of Kṛṣṇa,
Wealth, power, knowledge are all within his grasp.
Understand properly the Gītā's message
You will attain Kṛṣṇa's service and will worship Śrī Hari,
The devotees are endowed with all qualities,
So what are "non-violence" or "freedom from anger" to them?

The philosophy of Krsna consciousness presents a fuller understanding of God than that of the impersonalists and voidists.
 

Back To Godhead - God Beyond The Void

Bhaktivinoda Thakura said krsnera samsara kara chadi 'anacara: everyone can engage in family or worldly life, but one simply has to abandon his destructive habits. This is not a question of negation; it is positive understanding. Simply negating

Thought Of The Day

Dhira and adhira, there are two classes of men. One is sober. Even there is cause of agitation, still he remains firm. He is called dhira. And adhira means as soon as there is cause of agitation, he became a victim. That is called adhira. So we have to become dhira. We have been adhira in so many different forms of life because I am coming to this human form of life after evolution of 8,000,000 forms of body. In other lower animal life I have enjoyed the senses in so many ways. So sense enjoymen

Can Money buy true Happiness ?

Hare Krsna

Please accept my humble obeisance. All glories to Srila Prabhupada

Can money buy true Happiness? When the basics are covered, extra money can buy extra food, clothes, houses and whatever else.  However, you can live in only one house at a time, wear one set of clothes at a time, and eat as much as your stomach can hold at a time. Therefore money is useful to buy goods and services and there is nothing wrong with money, per se. It is after all the core need and everybody's entitled to ea
