A very interesting story , A Swamiji,
before he retired from service and took Sannyasa, was known as Mr. Rao and was in the army where his job was to train typists. This was in the pre-Independence days when India was ruled by the British. One of the students in Mr. Rao's class was a young Englishman named Thomas who continued to type badly despite all possible coaching. One day Mr. Rao got tired of him and asked him a st

Question: Why it seems that when the soul comes into contact with material nature it becomes contaminated?
Prabhupada: He wants to enjoy this material enjoyment. Just like everyone is going to the restaurant for eating something palatable, but we are not going, and somebody is going to cinema, but we are not going to the cinema. Similarly, there are two kinds of men: one is attracted; one is not attracted. Those who are

Question: What is the nature of our relationship with God?
Young man: If one does not lose one's identity when one is returned to the Godhead, what is the nature of the relationship?
Prabhupada: Servant. God is supreme, we are all subordinate. God is maintaining us just like father maintains. So it is the duty of the son to be obedient to the father, to act according to his order. Then everything is perfect. At the present

In the Padma Purana, it mentions that Prahalada, Hiranyakashipu, Nrsingadev, they appear many times. It’s not only this one time. At least 3 differenti2 different incarnations in other days of Brahma are described in the Padma Purana.
One of those times he (Hiranyakashipu) worshiped Shiva and got the blessing. Another time he worshiped Brahma again. When he was worshiping Shiva and he wanted Prahalada to admit tha

Here are some of the top reasons:
Other people do not know how to criticize properly. Most people criticize in such a way that makes us very emotional. However, we know that we cannot control how other people express themselves, but we can control how we internally respond to their criticism.
We often take it too personally. We must remember that it is our actions or performance that is really being criticized and not u
Just like the child is sitting on the lap of the father. So the child is confident that "I'm secure." So it has no more any second desire. In the material world, because we have not surrendered to Krsna we are always wandering helpless. Everyone here feeling helpless. Even though one is millionaire, even though one is president, but he's feeling helpless. This is the position, material conditional life.

Because of lack of transcendental knowledge, one is thinking, “Oh because of Krishna Consciousness, I will give up some happiness, like going to the movies at night.” Some kind of attachment is there.
There is a story about Sanatana Goswami’s servant. He asked Sanatana Goswami, “There is a party going on in the forest…there is a big festival. Could I go and participate?”
Sanatana Goswami said, “Festival?…in the middle of t

The divine plays of Bhagavan Sri Krishna are known to this world as `Rasa'. They were the replica of the truth of that when one soul reaches the bliss of divinity the divine blesses it by merging it within himself.
Gopis are known to be the women of Vrindavan who soaked their souls in the ocean of Krishna-bhakti , physically, verbally and through meditation. The whole world bows to their feet, for they achieved the unsel

Many of us are quick to comment on practically anything. We’ll gladly comment on someone else’s comment, their opinion, or a mistake that we perceive may have been made. We will offer our own opinion, comment on a policy or a pattern of behavior. Often we just want to get something off our chests. Sometimes when we’re mad or frustrated, we’ll blurt something. We’ll comment on the way someone looks, behaves, or seems to t

Swamiananda, and his disciple Ranga, were strolling on the beach by the ocean. It was a cold day and the wind was blowing strongly over the ocean, raising very high waves.
After walking for some time, Swamiananda stopped, looked at his disciple and asked:
"What does the choppy ocean remind you?"
"It reminds me of my mind. Of my rushing and restless thoughts", answered Ranga.
"Yes, the stormy ocean is like the mind, and the w

Lord Siva being Narada’s Guru (Ref Narada Pancharatra chapter 8 & 9)
One day Narada Rishi went to the assembly of the gods. Thirty-three crores of gods were sitting there. That Narada Rishi, what a devotee of God he was! Always drunk with God’s name, he traveled on foot, without beast or cart, throughout the three worlds.
When he went to the assembly of gods, he was given a small seat below everyone else. Narada Rishi sat

Once a poor man approached king Yudhishtira, the eldest of the Pandavas. He was also called Dharmaraja

said: "Come tomorrow, I will give you what you want".
Bhima, Yudhishtira's brother, overheard this promise. He at once called all the royal retinue for a sudden
meeting. He announced that the next day would be celebrate
