Kathy, a girl, became physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually ill by justifying her hatred towards her father. Her father reportedly abandoned the family - Kathy, her mother & six other children.  While at home, he physically abused everyone and they were all terrified of him. None of them knew when he would lose his temper and turn violent. 

Kathy was affected by chronic state of anger which caused lots of imbalances in her own life more than anyone else's. She would lash out at those

I begin my day by asking myself the question, “How can I be of service to someone?” I have found this to be useful in reminding me of the multitude of ways that I can be helpful to others. When I take the time to ask this question, I find answers popping up all day long.

If one of your goals is to be of help to others, you will find the most appropriate ways. Your chances to be of service are endless. The key, I believe, is to remember that being of service isn’t a one-time effort. It’s not doing

Most people are stuck right where they are. The reason they’re stuck, however, isn’t usually due to circumstances, incompetence, or lack of opportunity, but a simple unwillingness to change, to try new things.

We can make smaller, inner changes on a day-to-day, moment to moment basis – changes in our attitude, reactions, and expectations. I’m talking about being willing to take new risks, and face old fears. 

Over and over again I hear people saying things like “I’ve always done things that way” o

Almost everyone feels that their own opinions are good ones; otherwise they wouldn’t be sharing them with you. One of the destructive things that many of us do, however, is compare someone else’s opinion to our own. And, when it doesn’t fall in line with our belief, we either dismiss it or find fault with it. We feel smug, the other person feels diminished, and we learn nothing.

Almost every opinion has some merit, especially if we are looking for merit, rather than looking for errors. The next t

Srila Prabhupada attended the 7pm arati kirtana, smiling broadly from his large maroon and gold vyasasana, enjoying the enthusiastic affair. While chanting, some of the devotees ran the full length of the temple, leaping exuberantly at Prabhupada's feet. They turned and then ran back, repeating the procedure at the Deity room end.

Prabhupada spoke on Chapter 9 of Bhagavad-gita, verse 4:

"By Me, in my unmanifested form, this entire universe is pervaded. All beings are in Me, but I am n

After lunch, Srila Prabhupada met with two young men from the Mormon church. They were respectful and seemed to appreciate the disciplined life of Krsna consciousness.

"What do you feel is the greatest order of God?" asked one.

"To surrender to Him," replied Srila Prabhupada.

The conversation was long and amicable, although Prabhupada did not compromise his stance, particularly on meat-eating. "Christ says: 'Thou shall not kill'," he said. "They are maintainin

[A Talk to Mr. William Henri John Vandorstok of Batavia on 26.12.1935.]

In India as in Europe we find people hold different views but all of them may be classed into three divisions. One class of people are seekers of fruits by their action. Another class wish to annihilate themselves. And the third class want in their true selves as absolute infinitesimals, to be in touch with the Absolute Infinity rejecting all non-abso

The aim of this Krishna consciousness movement is to bring all living entities back to their original consciousness.
