Once, long ago, on the shore of the river Sarasvati, a discussion arose among a group of sages as to which of the three chief lords-Brahmā, Vishnu or Shiva-is the greatest. They deputed Bhrigu Muni to investigate the matter.

Bhrigu decided to test the lords’ tolerance, for that quality is a sure sign of greatness. First he entered the court of Lord Brahmā, his father, without offering him any respect. This enraged Brahmā

Saintly or Sinful Act???

 Today (07.11.2012) at my work premises, I have seen one butterfly stuck in a big cobweb.  Seeing the pitiful condition of the butterfly and its struggle for life; I have released the butterfly from the cobweb by removing the cobweb around the butterfly with the aid of a stick.  As the butterfly was hanging to the stick, I have placed the butterfly on the ground by putting the stick on the floor.

 After my above act, it suddenly stroke my mind whether had I done a saintly

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

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

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

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
