Sometimes Bhakti is observed as similar to the activities of the karmis, but there is difference. One is bhakti, one is going back to home, back to Godhead; and the other is going forward to the hellish condition of life by the same activities. This is the technique. How it is possible? It is possible. By practical example, it is said in the sastras... Just like if you take more quantity of milk preparation, you get diarrhea. But the same milk preparation, yogurt, is there. It will stop diarrhea

Dear all,

We hope that you are doing very well in your family and career.

Better close the United Nation organization because it has not had any practical effect. But talking about Krishna, just see how it is giving practical effect. You are assembled here from Europe, America, and Africa, Canada, and practically all over the world, but you are united nation. You are united nation simply by talking about Krishna.

On June 15, 1974, in Paris, His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada received a visit from two priests and two Christian scholars. (Before his guests arrived, Srila Prabhupada briefly noted the Vedic literature's predictions for our age.)

Srila Prabhupada: In the Twelfth Canto of Srimad-Bhagavatam this current Age of Kali, the age of quarrel and hypocrisy, is described:

Here we conclude an exchange between His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada and the poet Allen Ginsberg. It took place on May 12, 1969, in Columbus, Ohio.

Allen Ginsberg: If you're identifying love, however, with the sabda [sound] Krsna, what of those people who identify love with the sabda Allah?

Srila Prabhupada: Well, of course, if that sabda identifies with God, we have no objection. As Caitanya Mahaprab

A Dance for Shri Madhav – It Is Mayapur

Her fair skin was shining like a sun in the evening darkness of the Altar room. Her hands were like of two wings which were trying to fly over and over the sky. Her eyes were gazing sometimes to the Lotus Feet of the Lord before her and sometimes to her own heart full of thoughts…

She moved in tune to the mridanga which was sounding in the heart “tak tik taka taka tak…” While she was dancing her sari moved here and there trying to make her dance to the Lor

Did Krishna exist?

Most certainly, says Dr Manish Pandit, a nuclear medicine physician who teaches in the United Kingdom, proffering astronomical, archaeological, linguistic and oral evidences to make his case.

"I used to think of Krishna is a part of Hindu myth and mythology. Imagine my surprise when I came across Dr Narhari Achar (a professor of physics at the University of Memphis, Tennessee, in the US) and his research in 2004 and

Just like in the forest, you cannot send your fire brigade. That is not possible. Neither you can go there to help the animals for extinguishing the fire by bucketful of waters. That is also not possible. Helpless. Similarly, this samsara davanala, you cannot extinguish it. So how it will be extinguished? Samsara davanala-lidha-l

Bhagavan, in His any form, He is mukta-linga. As we have got linga, deha, linga, this material body, and we have got our spiritual body also... The spiritual body is covered by the material coating. This is not our actual body. But in the case of Supreme Personality of Godhead, there is no such difference. Deha, dehi. As we have got difference... Dehino 'smin yatha deha. Deha and dehi. Dehi means the owner of the body. Just like I say, "It is my body." I don't say, "It is I body." Everyone has g

These are the opening remarks by His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada from a conversation between him and some of his disciples that took place in Bombay on April 17, 1977.

Srila Prabhupada: From the Vedic literature we learn that the fallen soul transmigrates from body to body. He "evolves" from lower material bodies to higher bodies from fish to plant to insect to bird to beast. And then he gets the bod
