In the early days of our movement—in the little storefront temple at 26 Second Avenue in the East Village—Śrīla Prabhupāda would lecture in the evening and then retire to his upstairs apartment, All of us would be very eager to accompany him, in hopes of getting some personal advice or just hearing him talk more informally. As an excuse to go upstairs, each of us would carry up one of the things Śrīla

Devotee: The Bhagavad-gītā says that if one performs devotional service, then its result is never lost. Then how was it possible for Ajāmila to lose all his devotional service to Vishnu by associating with a prostitute?

Prabhupāda: He was not in devotional service.

Devotee: He was not serving Vishnu?

Prabhupāda: He was trained in Vishnu worship. Vishnu worship is not

Do not be unforgiving of yourself if you commit a mistake or make an error. Life didn’t come with a fool-proof manual. Most of us are doing the best that we can. We’re not perfect. We learn from our mistakes and from stumbling. 

Like almost everyone else, I have a great number of responsibilities. In fact, it usually seems like I’m juggling ten or twenty balls in the air simultaneously. So, to assume, I’ll never make

Suppose you are nicely dressed, and if you give up everything and you take one kaupina, but that is also a dress. So we have to utilize Krsna's thing, but if we take it, accept it as prasadam after offering Krsna... In the Vaisnava philosophy, if somebody is going to use one new pair of cloth, first of all he offers to Krsna. Then he utilizes. That is Vaisnava philosophy. There is also eating, sleeping. We require residence. Everything we require. But we require it as Krsna's prasada. Prasade sa

In the Seventh canto of Srimad Bhagavatam, after Hiranyakashipu was killed, the Lord continued to be very angry, and the demigods, headed by Lord Brahma, could not pacify Him. Even mother Lakshmi, the goddess of for

While constructing the Rama-setu bridge, the monkey - warriors used to write the name of Lord Rama on the stones and would throw them in the mighty ocean; the stones used to float.  Once Lord Rama Himself threw the stone in the ocean and surprisingly the stone sank.  When Hanuman saw this he started smiling.  Hanuman with folded hands said, “My dear Lord this is just one of your lilas.  You make huge planets float in the sky so what is the difficulty for you to make these stones float in the oce

So this Krsna consciousness movement is to know that no more greater than Krsna. Nobody is greater than Krsna. Nobody is equal to Krsna. If we understand this much perfectly... We cannot understand perfectly because that is not possible. Krsna is unlimited. But as far as we have got our knowledge, if we understand this fact, that "I can never become equal with Krsna; neither I can become greater than Krsna. That is not possible. I have to remain always subordinate to Krsna," this is called mukti

Lord Chaitanya explained that there are 2 kinds of living entities in this world – eternally liberated and eternally conditioned. Eternally conditioned living entities can be divided into 2 types viz moving and non-moving. Living entities like trees for example remain in one place fixed and so are categorized as non-moving entities.**
