In one of his recent lectures in Rajkot, Maharaja was making a very important point. He said, "Many times we do not know how to pray to Krishna. We may have lot of things to ask Krishna, but we should approach the Lord with the proper mood. This we can learn from Srimad Bhagavatam where so many devotees offer their prayers to the Lord. So, we should not only c

One has to be intelligent to understand real happiness; one who cannot, seeks happiness in this material world. A man did not know what sugarcane was and was told that it was very sweet to chew. "Oh, what does it look like?" he asked. "It looks just like a bamboo rod," someone said. So the foolish man began to chew all kinds of bamboo rods. How can he experience the sweetness? Similarly, we are trying to get happiness a

Durashaya means which cannot be fulfilled. You can hope something but it will never be fulfilled. Persons who are trying to become happy by adjustment of this material energy, they do not know that happiness cannot be achieved without approaching God. Everyone is thinking, "I must first of all see my own interest." But first of all try to understand what is your interest. We do not know that and we are hoping against ho

The 14th chapter of the first canto of Srimad Bhagavatam describes the circumstances concerning the disappearance of Lord Krishna from this earth after the Kuruksetra war. Some time after the war was over, Arjuna went to Dwaraka to see Lord Sri Krishna and other friends. In the mean time Maharaja Yudhisthira observes signs indicating the Lord's dis
We eat daily to gain strength. It’s not that you just eat on monday and comeback the next sunday to eat again. You have to regularly nourish yourself, or else you get weak. Similarly, regular association with people who uplift us is all important, and regular connection with the Lord of our heart is critical for maintaining our spiritual strength.
People often wish, naively though, for a life free of problems. Our desire for eternal happiness is not unnatural;

In this material world we are looking for that perfect love relationship. We are looking for that person that we can fully give ourselves to, who will be able to perfectly and fully reciprocate our love. So many times we try to totally give ourselves to someone that we feel is such a person. But then we end up feeling disappointed and frustrated after we realize that they are not what really what we th

Some information Rajani devi (mother of Srila Prabhupada)
Here is an excerpt from the Prabhupada Lilamrta about Srila Prabhupada's mother, Srimati Rajani Devi.
Abhay’s mother, Rajani, was thirty years old when he was born. Like her husband, she came from a long-established Gaudiya Vaisnava family. She was darker-skinned than her husband, and whereas his disposition was cool, hers tended to be fiery. Abhay saw his mother and father living together peacefully; no deep marital conflict or complicated

For 36 years, Abdul Rashid, a 58- yearold Muslim, has been making clothes adorned by the deities at the ISKCON temple; he is now designing pink outfits embellished with silver zari for the idols for Rang Panchami
IN India, religion dominates people’s lives to a great extent that at times, it dictates people’s professions too. However, there are a few times when devotion is not constrained by religion.
Abdul Rashid is such an example.

There is no difference between Gaura and Krishna in tattva. Krishna is Gaura, and Gaura is Krishna. However,
Gaura is Krishna combined with mahabhava-svarupini Srimati Radharani. In vraja-lila there are two forms —
rasaraja Krishna and madanakhya-mahabhavamayi Srimati Radharani. But ingaura-lila, there is one form. Radha combined with Krishna — that is Gaura. Otherwise there is no difference between Gaura and Krishna. Thi

Regardless of who you are or what you do, you are going to run into (and have to deal with) at least some amount of incompetence in your work life. Why not learn to take it in stride, and not let it bother you so much?
This acceptance of the way things really are will probably allow you to say (or think) something like, “Of course it’s going to be like this from time to time.” Rather than focusing on the most dramatic an
