Chaitanya Maha Prabhu And The Thief

Hare krsna

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada


Sri Krishna Chaitanya was the pioneer of the movement of Nagar Sankeertan. He used to get himself immersed in the contemplation of the Lord while singing His glory and used to be oblivious of the external world.
Once he was conducting Nagar Sankeertan in Navadweep. Several leaders of the town too joined him in his bhajan. They were all ecstatically singing bhajans and walking along the streets. A thief also joined this

How the Law of Karma works

Hare krsna

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada

The Sanskrit word Karma has gained mainstream acceptance today and found a place in the English dictionary. Karma as a philosophical principle, however, is little understood. Simply put, the law of karma states that every action we perform has a reaction. In the Biblical tradition this is phrased as "As you sow, so shall you reap."

Is the Law of Karma Scientific?

Yes and no. Yes in the sense that the law of karma is, like

Thought Of The Day

So Krsna, when instructs from within the heart, He is called caitya-guru. And that caitya-guru is expanded by the process, personal presentation of spiritual master. So both ways He is helping us. Krsna is so kind. Guru-krsna-krpa. Krsna is helping from within, but sometimes we are so dull, naturally, that we cannot understand. Therefore He sends His representative to instruct externally. So He is helping internally and externally. There is no difference between the internal and external instruc

Life After Death

Life is the combination of five,

sky, earth, air,water, and fire,

God lended me these for coming to earth,

make a reach to everyone's heart.

I learned to be as vast as sky,

as fluent as air, as booming as fire,

continuous as flowing water,retaining great heart as earth,

to get hold on my worldly desire.

I lived my life ,to the death i arrived,

My lord asked me about his gratitudes and regard of life .

He questned me about his gift,

the gifts he lended me to be live.

I told him o lord,

I gave back your things

To love Krsna cent percent.

Posted on March 28, 2012
Filed under BVKS Sanga

To love Krsna means you have no more material desire. The percentage you are
lacking Krsna love, the percentage material desires are there. Ye yatha mam
prapadyante [Bg. 4.11]. If you love Krsna ten percent, then ninety percent
material desire. And if you love Krsna ninety percent, ten percent material
desire. And if you love Krsna cent percent there is no material desire. This
is the way. So if you love Krsna twenty-four hours, cent percent, simply

Failure is the pillar of success

Posted on March 30, 2012  
Filed under BVKS Sanga

T\here is every chance of failure on the yogic path; even a great sage
like Visvamitra Muni can fall down due to material allurement. Although the
muni fell for the time being, he again resolved to go on with the yoga
process, and this should be our resolve. Krsna informs us that such failures
should not be cause for despair. There is the famous proverb that “failure
is the pillar of success.” In the spiritual life especially, failure is not

Spiritual lust and anger

Posted on March 31, 2012 Filed under BVKS Sanga

The origin of lust is in the Supreme. If, therefore, lust is transformed into love for the Supreme, or transformed into Krsna consciousness — or, in other words, desiring everything for Krsna — then both lust and wrath can be spiritualized. Hanuman, the great servitor of Lord Rama, exhibited his wrath by burning the golden city of Ravana, but by doing so he became the greatest devotee of the Lord. Here also, in Bhagavad-gita, the Lord induces Arjuna

Chilean devotees inspire 300 prisoners!!

Twenty eight devotees from the Santiago Yatra along with 250 books of Srila Prabhupada, made their way to one of the most famous prisons in Chile called "Santiago 1".

There, they faced an endless ocean of grim, impenetrable seriousness and an attitude of distrust which reeked from the defendants, many who had been charged with serious crimes. A brief talk and explanation of the Maha-mantra helped break the ice and the devotees began to sing. Several minutes later, the inmates joined in and began

You cannot stop crime by law

Hare krsna

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada

The difference between a pious man and a criminal is that one is pure in heart and the other is dirty. This dirt is like a disease in the form of uncontrollable lust and greed in the heart of the criminal. When the people become purified of these dirty things, crime will disappear. The simplest process of purification is to assemble in congregation and chant the holy names of God. This is called sankirtana and is the ba

Thought Of The Day

This is perfect conclusion, that "I shall execute the desire of Krsna." "But Krsna is not physically present before me. Then how I shall know what Krsna desires?" That is not very difficult. Krsna's representative is there, the spiritual master. If you fulfill the desire of the spiritual master, then you fulfill the desire of Krsna. Yasya prasadad bhagavat-prasadah **. That is stated by Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura. If you please your spiritual master, then you know that "I have pleased Krsna."

Thought Of The Day

So real sanity is to understand that this body belongs to Krsna. We are misunderstanding that this body belongs to my father, mother, or my master or to the cats and dogs or the vultures, in so many ways. That is material. Materially, we can understand that. But spiritually, this body belongs to Krsna because the body is made of, I mean to say, prepared by the eight elements. We have got the five elements, bhumir apo 'nalo vayuh. There is earth, water, air, fire, and the mind and the intelligenc

Why is accepting criticism so difficult?

Hare krsna

 Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada


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
