Every one of us is searching after happiness, but we do not know what real happiness is. We see so much advertised about happiness, but practically speaking we see so few happy people. This is because so few people know that the platform of real happiness is beyond temporary things. It is this real happiness that is described in Bhagavad-gita by Lord Krishna to Arjuna.

Happiness is generally perceived through our senses

Bhakti, devotional service, is transcendental even to mukti, liberation. Generally people are concerned with dharma, artha, kāma and moksha. In the beginning, there is dharma (religion), then artha (economic development),kāma (sense gratification), then moksha (merging into the Supreme One). However, bhakti is above all these. Mukti is not very important for a bha

www.iskcondesiretree.net is a simple and wonderful website but what I will suggest www.krishna.com in a short while as well is that as per the deep research,this age in kali yuga is also called as a "christian era"...so even if intend to get away from all the "maya" tending to a sinful life...still we have a learning from typical christian life which is - "every believer can pray and bless".

My purpose of throwing light on this philosophy is, that this website and www.krishna.com should give a sp

So we should be very, very careful that this human form of life should not be wasted even for a moment. That is real life. There is, by, one sloka by Rupa Gosvami. Avyartha-kalatvam [Cc. Madhya 23.18-19]. A devotee should always be alert to see, "Whether this time, one moment passed, whether I have wasted it or I have utilized it?" That is, should be, the point. Ayusah ksana eko 'pi na labhya svarna-kotibhih. This is also material estimation, that one moment of our life cannot be returned in exc

Today, my son has asked me to brief him the difference between Tortoise and Turtle.  While explaining to my son, I had a wonderful realization, which I would like to share with you all.

As the shell of a Tortoise / Turtle acts as a shield to protect from any kind of perils, attacks and also protects from extreme climatic conditions, similarly, the Lord takes the role of a shell just to protect HIS devotees from all problems and perils.

As the tortoise / turtle comes out of its shell to enjoy its

Hare Krishna,

I have written this story to be used for preaching purposes and to be distributed among people uninterested in religion and philosophy, and among followers of various religions.

This story is based it on Krishna-conscious philosophy but I have not mentioned Krishna's name anywhere, lest it appears biased or 'se
