And as soon as you come to Krsna consciousness, then you are in direct touch. We are direct in touch with Krsna, but it is covered by some cloud of ignorance. Otherwise, nothing can exist without Krsna's touch. That is not possible. Maya tatam idam sarvam jagad avyakta-murtina [Bg. 9.4]. Krsna is... One Krsna is expanded all over the creation. Maya tatam idam sarvam. Isavasyam idam sarvam [Iso mantra 1]. Krsna is everywhere, but due to the contamination of material modes of nature, we are thinki

Result of Whimsical Actions

Krishna has a unique quality – he blinks his eyes & he does not blink his eyes. Krishna blinks to overlook our mistakes & he never blinks when he sees us sincerely being engaged in devotional service.

In this world we find just the opposite. People blink when you do something good to them and never blink if you are doing something which is unpalatable to them.

For e.g. A person may work tirelessly for a company but the company does not hesitate even for a moment to throw him out, if the management

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
