Thought Of The Day

So in the Kali-yuga this sacrifice is recommended: yajnaih sankirtana-prayair yajanti hi sumedhasah [SB 11.5.32]. Sankirtana-yajna. This yajna will help you. Real thing is the heart, the mind. If this yajna, sankirtana-yajna, cleanses your mind and heart, then you come to the platform of knowledge. Then automatically other things become effective. So in this age it is recommended that other yajnas will not be effective, neither it is recommended. But the sankirtana-yajna -- yajnaih sankirtanaih

Arguments and Motivation

Hare Krishna,

                Many times we argue for nothing. We argue with such intensity that we ourselves forget that we are contradicting ourselves. While arguing, one must be honest.

Arguments are generally for reaching to the conclusion based on the opinions and intelligence of some people because we may have overlooked some aspects of the problem or we may be biased and may have formed a opinion based on some "key terms" in the problem, overlooking the others.

              But most of the

Once upon a time, sage Narada came into the presence of the Lord. The Lord asked him, "Narada, in all your travels through the world have you been able to discover the principal secret of the universe? Have

elements, earth, water, fire, air and ether. Which do you think occupies the first place? Of everything that

Preaching in South Gujarat


We are a small group of brahmacaris distributing books in South Gujarat. We've had several interesting incidents while on sankirtana.


We often distribute books on a moving train. Many of the conductors know us due to our famous temple in Juhu, Mumbai. Normally they don't give us any trouble. But one day they did. Two of our brahmacaris were distributing books on a train going to Mumbai. A conductor approached them for their tickets and ask

Thought Of The Day

That is the ways of this material nature. The ways of material nature is that you cannot remain in comfort. That is not possible. By laws of nature... Tri-tapa-yatana, three kinds of miseries, adhyatmika, adhibhautika, adhidaivika, they must be there always.So even if we are situated in one kind of comfortable position, then another uncomfort will come and attack. That is called tri division. Adhyatmika, adhibhautika, adhidaivika. Or there is no cough, or there is no trouble, but you receive on

British Celebrities Get Prabhupada's Bhagavad Gita


2514863698?profile=original


I was fortunate to be invited to a function at which I accompanied my seniors Jai Nitai and Sachi Kisore Prabhus. The function was dedicated to a senior British lady named Jo Fillippou upon her being formally honored as a Member of the British Empire (something like Paul Mc Cartney's being knighted.) Somehow she knew our Jai Nitai Prabhu, so we were invited as well, but he didn't prepare a speech. Jai Nitai was formerly a major book distributo

Lord Shiva replied with a smile, "Is it inappropriate to touch one's own

Thought Of The Day

Therefore, spiritual education begins from this body. As Krsna says in the Bhagavad-gita, dehino 'smin yatha dehe [Bg. 2.13]. Asmin dehe, in this body there is the spiritual spark who is the proprietor of the body. This is the beginning of spiritual education.

So this Krsna consciousness movement means training people how to become tapasvi, tapasvi, who is undergoing tapasya, regulative, so that he may be cured from this permanent disease, birth, death, old age and disease.

INATTENTIVE CHANTING

By HG Sudama Prabhu

• The first connection of the Jiva with Krishna is the Holy name
• Once our relationship is established with Krishna through attentive hearing & chanting, automatically relationship with all jivas is in order.

• If we don’t chant & hear attentively, automatically we will be committing all other 9 offences.

Thought Of The Day

So the human life is meant for purification , By nature, by constitutional position, every living entity is as pure as God. But God does not become impure. We become impure. Therefore we are suffering, if we do not purify our existence, then we go on with this impure existence. Impure existence means transmigration of the soul from one body to another, and become subjected to birth, death, old age and disease. This is impurification. So they do not know that "Death is not my obligation. Because
