One of the many services of the internet I had another great day distributing Srila Prabhupada's books at West Virginia University in Morgantown, USA. I approached a young couple and said, "Please, my dear friends! I want you to see these books!" Upon taking them for inspection, the man said that he already had them. I was surprised and asked how they were acquired. He said that he had been searching for spiritual literature and that Srila Prabhupada's books were the best ones h

PRABHUPADA TELLS A STORY
During Srila Prabhupada's last days in Vrndavana he used to be carried up and down the stairs in a palanquin-chair. His habit was to take rest during the day in his bed on the roof. One day, going up the narrow staircase from the first floor to the roof, Satadhanya Maharaja carried the rear portion of Prabhupada's palanquin by its two handles and another man carried the front. Tamala Krsna Gosvami led the group, and Upendra

Yoga means the connecting link between the soul and the Supersoul, or the Supreme and the minute living creatures. Lord Sri Krishna is that Supreme, the Personality of Godhead. Being, therefore, the ultimate object of yoga, Krishna's name is yogeshvara, the master of yoga.
When the yoga performance is described, it is said that Krishna's name is yogeshvara. No one can be a better yogi than the master of yoga, and Krishna

Sri Sacidananda Bhaktivinoda Thakura appeared in 1838 in a wealthy family in the Nadia district, West Bengal. He revealed that he is an eternal associate of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu by his extraordinary preaching activities and prolific writing.

In 1959 two American atomic scientists, Dr. Emillo Segre and Dr. Owen Chamberlain were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics for the discovery of the antiproton, proving (theoretically) that matter exists in two forms — as particles and antiparticles. According to one of the fundamental assumptions of the new theory, there may exist another world, or an anti-world, built up of anti-matter. This anti-material world would con

Today is Rasa-purnima. Many people have gathered in Navadvipa, Santipura, Vrndavana, Puri and other holy places. The purpose of these pilgrims is to take darsana of Sri Krsna’s rasa-lila. It is the opinion of those who are knowledgeable of their spiritual identity that there is no other greater s
There is no exact equivalent in the English vocabulary to explain the Sanskrit term ‘rasa’ as used in the context of transcendental relationships. The closest English word for rasaused by our acaryas in rendering English translations of Sanskrit literatures is ‘mellow’. Certainly, enough thought has been given before stopping at the word, ‘mellow’ for rasa. The origin of this word in English stems from the sense of ‘ripe’, ‘sweet’, and ‘juicy’ and is used to define something that is tempered by
Every one of us wants to be happy. In fact every moment we strive hard to achieve happiness but most often we find that in spite of achieving all what we had desired to achieve we still remain unhappy. The Supreme Personality of Godhead is sac-cid-ananda-vigraha i.e. eternal, blissful and full of knowledge. We being parts and parcel of the Lord we also have desire for eternity, bliss and knowledge. Every jiva be it in Svargloka, brahmaloka, bhuvarloka etc. wants to be happy. The level of happine
So the darkness is there, and the light is also there. Simply we have to be awakened. Therefore Vedas, they instruct us that "Don't sleep! Get up!" Uttisthata prapya varan nibodhata jagrata. Similarly, Bhaktivinoda Thakura also sings, kota nidra jao maya-pisacira kole. Jiv jago, jiv jago, gauracanda bole. Gauracanda means Lord Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu. He says, "O the living entities, you get up! Be awakened!" We may say, "Now we are awakened." This is not awakened. This is also slumber in darkne
Anyone Can Take a Book
by Caitanya Chandra Das (Porto Alegre, Brazil)
As I distributed books last Sunday morning in the park, I saw one guy who seemed a bit gloomy. I stopped him and started my usual mantra: "Hello, I'm from the International Society for Krishna Consciousness. We're distributing some books about spiritual knowledge. They"
He interrupted me and said, "I'm looking for a girlfriend. Can you help me?"
Before I could reply he repeated the question, adding a note of desperation: "I reeeal

speaks with Jon Nordheimer of The New York Times in a conversation recorded in
September 1972 at New Vrindaban, the Society's farm community near Wheeling, West Virginia.
Srila Prabhupada: When we speak of Krsna, we mean God. Everyone has some vague idea of God, hut no clear idea. Therefore God descends to show what He is. If we speculate on God, someone will think on
Krishna Book: Chapter Forty-seven ...When the gopis understood that Uddhava had a message from Krishna, they became very happy and called him to a secluded place to sit down. They wanted to talk with him very freely and did not want to be embarrassed before unknown persons.
One of the gopis, namely Srimati Radharani, was so much absorbed in thoughts of Krishna by dint of Her personal touch with Him that She actually began to talk with a bumbleb |

When Srimati Radharani first saw Krishna, She suddenly became conscious of all transcendental happiness, and the functions of Her different limbs were stunned. When Lalita, Her constant companion, whispered into Her ear, the holy name of Krishna, Radharani immediately opened Her eyes wide. (Nectar of Devotion, pg 259)
"One day, in a joking mood, Krishna informed Radharani, 'My dear Radharani, I am going to give up Your Company.' Upon saying this, He immediately disappeared, and because of this, R
