Yoga and the Master of Yoga

Hare Krsna

Please accept my humble obeisance. All glories to Srila Prabhupada


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

No need of any magic

Hare Krsna

Please accept my humble obeisance. All glories to Srila Prabhupada


People do not know that they can become immortal. Immortal we are, but we have been embodied in this material body. Therefore we have to accept mortality, birth and death. This is the beginning of spiritual life. Spiritual life means how to become immortal. They come to ask me, "Sir, do you know some spiritual magic?" All for material benefit. For them spiritualist means something magic so that you can get some material

Thought Of the Day

So how to become very dear to God? Don't try to see God. Even if you see... You can find God everywhere if you have got eyes to see. But the real business is not to see. God wants to see you, what you are working for God. That He wants to see. To see God is not very difficult business. Anyone with eyes to see, he can see God. But to be seen by God, do something by which you can draw the attention of God and He can see you, "Oh, here is My devotee," that is wanted. Let God see you! Don't try to s

Once a sage was walking from one town to another town with a few of his followers. While they were traveling, they happened to pass a lake. They stopped there and sage told one of his disciples, "I am thirsty. Do get me some water from that lake there."
    
The disciple walked up to the lake. When he reached it, he noticed that right at that moment, a bullock cart started crossing through the lake. As a result, the water

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila PrabhupadaI


There was a small kingdom in which strangely enough all people where quite happy and very healthy. In
course of time both the ruler and ruled grew proud of this rare good fortune and claimed it to be a reward
of their personal righteousness. Since all of them were healthy, there was no physician in the kingdom.
One day, a physician came to its capital city and was happy to find that there was no other physician to

The Dog Who Could Walk On Water

Hare Krsna

Please accept my humble obeisance. All glories to Srila Prabhupada


There was a hunter who came into the possession of a special bird dog. The dog was the only one of its kind, because it can walk on water.

One day he invited a friend to go hunting with him so that he could show off his prized possession. After some time, they shot a few ducks, which fell into the river. The  man ordered his dog to run and fetch the birds. The dog ran on water to fetch the birds.

The man was expecting a co

Thought Of The Day

We have got so many duties. So long we are not fully surrendered to Krsna... It is not that this Krsna consciousness movement is to give shelter to some irresponsible man who does not carry the responsibilities of family life or brahmacari life. But that is now forgotten. Everything is topsy-turvied. So Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu says that krsna-bhakti, Krsna consciousness movement, may be offered even to the candala. Candala means the lowest of the human society, the dog-eaters. Candala. This is t

The embodied soul may be restricted from sense enjoyment, though the taste for sense objects remains. But, ceasing such engagements by experiencing a higher taste, he is fixed in consciousness.

Ceasing sense enjoyment

Unless one is transcendentally situated, it is not possible to cease from sense enjoyment. The process of restriction from sense enjoyment by rules and regulations is something lik

Thought Of The Day

So we are debted to God. So just like, if you don't pay taxes to the government, the government does not become poor, but your supply will be stopped. You will suffer. Similarly, if you don't accept there is supreme government, the supreme governor... The governor is quite sufficient. God is completely munificent or rich. He will not suffer, but you will suffer. Therefore it is said, te sadhu krta-sarvarthah. Just like if you remain cleansed, paying all your taxes, then you are very honest citiz

Please accept my humble obeisance. All glories to Srila Prabhupada

Srila Jiva Gosvami explains the various types of bhakti. We shall briefly touch on the main three. The first is aropsiddha bhakti, perfection attained by offering the fruit of one’s karma in devotional service. When works are offered to the Lord, devotion is attributed to them, even though the activity itself is not devotional. This is called attributed devotion.

Aropsiddha is further divided into two types offering of wo

God helps those who help themselves

Hare Krsna

Please accept my humble obeisance. All glories to Srila Prabhupada


Krishna says that He provides for His devotees by giving them what they lack and preserving what they have. People are very fond of saying that God helps those who help themselves, but they do not understand that helping yourself means putting yourself under Krishna's protection. If one thinks, "Oh, I can help myself. I can protect myself," one is thinking foolishly. As long as my finger is attached to my body, it is use

Adi Shankara's experience with the divine

Please accept my humble obeisance. All glories to Srila Prabhupada


The commentaries on Vishnu Sahasranamam was first written by Adi Sankara.  There is an interesting story behind it. 

Sankara actually wanted to write commentaries on Lalita Sahasranamam.  He asked one of his disciples to bring palm-leaf manuscripts of Lalita Sahasranamam.  The disciple went to the room where it was kept and returned with the manuscript. 

When Sankara opened, he found that it was Vishnu Sahasranamam.  He ag
