KRISHNA: HISTORY BEHIND THE MYTH
By N.S. Rajaram
Historical Krishna: a rational approach
Having set the stage for our search by clearing some of the debris accumulated over a century and half, let me next take a look at the records that are available to us, and define also the problem of the Historical Krishna as I see it. The first point to note: I don't think it is advisable to try to decide the date of Krishna — or of the Mahabharata War — based on any single record. For instance, s
Memorial for "Mr. Rathayatra" - by Devamrita Swami
A memorial for the great ISKCON devotee Jayananda Prabhu, "Mr. Rathayatra," who departed in 1976 at the age of 38, has been a discussion topic at the GBC meetings in Mayapur. As Haridas Thakur wanted to leave this world before Mahaprabhu, so Jayananda, a master of selfless service and sacrifice, wanted to leave this world before Srila Prabhupada.
Kesava Bharati Maharaja tells how during the intense weeks preceding a San Francisco Rathayatra, he
Invisible all the year but visible once a year: The divine feet of Srimati Radharani
Radhastami, the appearance day of Srimati Radharani, was celebrated with great fanfare at Iskcon, Kolkata on 23rd Sep, 2012. Devotees in large numbers started assembling in the temple since morning on this auspicious occasion. The program began with Mangala Arati at 4:30 a.m. Radhastami is the only day in the entire year when the devotees get an opportunity to take darshan of the beautiful lotus feet of Srimati
So the spiritual life is very delicate. We have to conduct the spiritual life very cautiously. Little deviation may create great havoc. Great havoc means again material life. And material life means suffering, bhayam dvitiyabhinivesatah, always in fearfulness. So long we are in this material life, there must be fearfulness. Bhayam dvitiyabhinivesatah syat. That is described here. Kalam eke yato bhayam. So long you are wrapped up within these twenty-four elements, under the influence of time fact

So all this material scientific knowledge, they are simply interested with this body. But spiritual knowledge begins when you actually take seriously what Bhagavad-gita says or Srimad-Bhagavatam says or what the Vedas says. Vedas says everything, both the material and the spiritual. But for human being we are not only, we should not only be interested with the material science, but we should be interested... That is our main interest. Athato brahma jijnasa. Material science is going on. But you
Krishna takes care of all our necessities. He provides food to an insignificant ant and also to a huge elephant. But most often when we approach him we ask for several material things. We think that Krishna is not aware of our necessities. We consider Krishna to be our order supplier and demand several things from him - like good marks, high paying job, palatial bungalow, fancy car, beautiful spouse and so on.
Instead of asking something material we should pray to Krishna to give us intelligence

This story still amazes me. It happened in England in 1969, when we were just opening the London temple (in Bloomsbury, near the British Museum). Śrīla Prabhupāda had come, and he was talking with the more experienced devotees and confirming their projects. “Yes,” he would say—”do it very nicely,” and “Very good—make it first class.” For instance, Mukunda was to continue his efforts in public relations and another devote

The great mistake of modern civilization is to encroach upon others' property as though it were one's own and thereby create an unnecessary disturbance of the laws of nature. These laws are very strong. No living entity can violate them. Only one who is Krishna conscious can easily overcome the stringent laws of nature and thus become happy and peaceful in the world.
