This is in continuation of the offering, "Power of Holy Names", mailed few days ago, based on the transcription of the Bhagavatam class given by our beloved spiritual master, Srila Mahavishnu Goswami Maharaj on 8 July 1996 in Dubai, on the verse 6.2.8 from Srimad Bhaga
The first spiritual instruction is, one must be convinced thoroughly,that he is not this body. "I am not this body. Aham brahmasmi." This realization, "I am spirit soul. I am part and parcel of the Supreme Brahman." Krsna is the Supreme Brahman, Krsna says, "All the living entities, they are My part and parcels.

Holiness Jayapataka Swami Maharaja since I joined ISKCON. Undoubtedly he is
one of the most exemplary leaders of ISKCON today. With the sincerity he is

since he met Srila Prabhupda he offered himself completely to his service
and the way he is serving him till today is a wond

It’s great to get praise, but I seldom get overly excited about it and jump up and down shouting enthusiastically.When you receive the opposite – negative criticism – you can often observe it calmly without too much wild, negative emotions blocking the way. And you can often appreciate that piece of criticism too (if there is something to learn from it).
Basically this mindset is about not caring too much about what oth
Venue: Pune Destinations, places all over India, what brings us together here is Krishna, we never think of that, what is bringing us together is, who is he? What is that? You may say that Radheshyam has brought us together, or you IYF leader made such arrangement. But that person is just a secondary cause or intermediate cause, the cause of all cause is Shri Krishna “sarva karana karanam”. I do not see any other reason for us being here today, but Krishna. This is the spirit of Bharat Varsha,
Krsna is always ready to help us, provided we are also ready to cooperate with Him. If we cooperate with Him, what Krsna desires, if we want to do little, immediately Krsna will help you. If you work one percent, Krsna will help you ten percent. Again, if you work one percent, Krsna will help you another ten percent. But the cent percent credit you get, by the help of Krsna. Krsna gives you intelligence.

Even though man has studied the heavens for thousands of years, we still know very little about the Universe we live in. And as we continue to learn more, we are consistently amazed, and sometimes confused, by what we learn. Here is a collection of amazing, interesting, and strange astronomy facts, in no particular order.

[Delivered as a lecture by His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupäda on October 6, 1969, at Conway Hall, London, England].
Ladies and gentlemen, today's subject matter is the teachings of the Vedas. What are the Vedas? The Sanskrit verbal root of veda can be interpreted variously, but the purport is finally one. Veda means knowledge. Any knowledge you accept is veda, for the teachings of the Vedas are the original knowledge. In the conditioned state, our knowledge is subjected to many

Why do we do pradakshina (circumambulate) ?
We cannot draw a circle without a center point. The Lord is the center, source and essence of our lives. Recognizing Him as the focal point in our lives, we go about doing our daily chores. This is the significance of pradakshina. Also every point on the circumference of a circle is equidistant from the center. This means that wherever or whoever we may be, we are equally close to the Lord. His grace flows towards us without partiality.
Why is pradakshi
Why do we fast?
Most devout people fast regularly or on special occasions like festivals. On such days they do not eat at all, eat once or make do with fruits or a special diet of simple food. Fasting in Sanskrit is called “Upavaasa”. Upa means "near" + vaasa means "to stay". Upavaasa therefore means staying near (the Lord), meaning the attainment of close mental proximity with the Lord.
Then what has Upavaasa to do with food?
A lot of our time and energy is spent in procuring food items, prepa
Why do offer food to the Lord before eating it?
Indians make an offering of food to the Lord and later partake of it as prasaada "a holy gift from the Lord”. In our daily ritualistic worship (pooja) too we offer naivedyam (food) to the Lord. The Lord is omnipotent and omniscient. Man is a part, while the Lord is the totality. All that we do is by His strength and knowledge alone. Hence what we receive in life as a result of our actions is really His alone. We acknowledge this through the act of
