Once Devotee Mataji visited her non Devotee mother along with her child who also was serious Devotee of Krishna.
They all three were at home. Elders were cooking and exchanging with talks. By the time they realized that child was missed. No words. No child. No sound.
-aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!
Suddenly, screaming voice of a small kid was like a thunderbolt but inside the house.

I was remembering this evening one incident about how merciful Lord Caitanya is to even the most fallen, sinful rascals. As Prabhupada mentions, Jagai and Madhai?they were not comical characters; they were deeply sinful criminals. I remembered how once we were doing a Christmas marathon in Paris and we would send our devotees to the train stations. The girls particularly would go on the trains and distribute books to the people just before the train left. As the train started to go, they woul

Utpanna Ekadasi
Suta Goswami said, "O learned brahmanas, long ago Lord Sri Krishna, the
