Value of Finger

Hare Krsna

Please accept my humble obeisance. All glories to Srila Prabhupada



A screw that is connected with a machine is valuable because it is working with the whole machine. And if the screw is taken away from the machine, or if it is faulty, it is worthless. My finger is worth millions of dollars as long as it is attached to this body and is serving the body. And if it is cut off from this body, then what is its worth? Nothing. Similarly, our relationship is that we are very small particles of

Thought Of The Day

So Krsna comes... He does not come like us. We are under the control of the material nature, but Krsna is not under the control of material nature. That is to be understood. Therefore here it is said that jahau sva-tanva. Sva means "own," and tanva, tanu, tanu means "this body." We have got distinction, "I am the soul, but my this body is material." This distinction we have got because we are conditioned soul. Actually, I am not this body. I am soul. But I have become conditioned by this materia

Question: Is Suicide the Way to Go Back to God?

If this world is just an illusion, why are we all here? If this is not our real home, why shouldn't one go for suicide as an answer? Is suicide the way to go back to God?

Hema P.
 

Answer: Surrender to God is the Way to Go to Him.

This world is not an illusion. It is the prison house of God's kingdom, therefore it is factual, tangible, and not unreal.

Is the prisoner's road to freedom to commit suicide? No. His ticket to freedom is to rectify his crimina

If you throw a stone into the middle of a pool of water, a circle will expand to the limit of the bank. Similarly, radio waves expand in a circle, and when you capture the waves with your radio you can hear the message. In the same way, our loving feeling can also expand.

At the beginning of our life, we simply want to eat. Whatever a small child grabs, he wants to eat. He has only personal interest. Then, when the child

Please accept my humble obeisance. All glories to Srila Prabhupada


Long ago in a small, far away village, there was place known as the House of 1000 Mirrors.

A small, happy little dog came to know of this place and decided to visit. When he arrived, he bounced happily up the stairs to the doorway of the house.

He looked through the doorway with his ears lifted high and his tail wagging as fast as it could. To his great surprise, he found himself staring at 1000 other happy little dogs wit

One man went out of his village, and after ten years, he came back, advertised himself that "I have become successful in yoga practice." So naturally villagers surrounded him. "Oh, what yoga practice you have learned?" "I can walk on the water." "Oh?" So the arrangement was that he'll cross the river, walking on the water. One old man came and said, "Sir, it is very wonderful, but it is two paise worth." "Why?" "Now, yo

 Saligrama,

A sacred Gandaki river stone is a special Avatara of Maha Vishnu.It is always placed with Tulasi (signifying Lakshmi). In some parts of India,Tulasi vivaham with Saligramam is conducted- sort of Kalyanotsavam for Saligrmam and Tulasi.

Thought Of The Day

So what God is giving as law? The law is that "You give up all nonsense religion, simply surrender unto Me." This is religion. So a religious person, it does not mean whether he is Hindu or Muslim or Christian or Buddhist. He must accept God and surrender unto Him. This is religion.

Real meaning of peace

Hare Krsna

Please accept my humble obeisance. All glories to Srila Prabhupada'


There once was a king who offered a prize to the artist who would paint the best picture of peace. Many artists tried. The king looked at all the pictures. But there were only two he really liked, and he had to choose between them.

One picture was of a calm lake. The lake was a perfect mirror for peacefully towering mountains all around it. Overhead was a blue sky with fluffy white clouds. All who saw this picture though

Worrying yourself to death

Hare Krsna

Please accept my humble obeisance. All glories to Srila Prabhupada'


When it comes to stress, illness and wellness, it is important to remember that what goes on in your mind is reflected in your body.

People who continually worry and get stressed about their problems tend to develop tense muscles, become tired easily or get headaches. When their mind is stressed, their body becomes stressed too.

Dwelling on your mistakes and over-analyzing what could go wrong or what you could have done d

Kali Santarana Upanishad

Please accept my humble obeisance. All glories to Srila Prabhupada'


At the end of Dvapara Yuga, Narada went to Brahma and said: "O Lord. How can I cross Kali or mundane
existence easily?" Brahma replied. "Well asked. Hearken to that which all Vedas keep secret and
hidden, through which one may cross the Samsara or mundane existence. He destroys the evil effects of
Kali through the mere uttering of the word 'Lord Narayana,' who is the primeval Purusha."
Narada asked Brahma: "O venerable Lord

Think problems as speed bumps

Rather than labeling the issues that come up during a typical work day as

problems, think of them as speed bumps (speed breakers). An actual speed

bump, as you know, is a low bump in a road designed to get your attention

and slow you down. Depending on how you approach and deal with the bump, it

can be a miserable, uncomfortable, even damaging experience, or it can

simply be a temporary slow down – no big deal.



If you step on the gas, speed up, and tighten the wheel, for example,

you’ll hit the bump wi

Opportunities to do good

There is a nine-year-old kid sitting at his desk and all of a sudden, there is a puddle between his feet and the front of his pants are wet.

He thinks his heart is going to stop because he cannot possibly imagine how this has happened. He knows that when the boys find out, they will make fun of him.

The boy believes his heart is going to stop; he puts his head down and prays, "Dear God, this is an emergency! I need help now! Five minutes from now I'm dead."

He looks up from his prayer and here

Recognizing an opportunity

Recognizing an opportunity

When the great library of Alexandria burned, the story goes, one book was saved. But it was not a valuable book; and so a poor man, who could read a little, bought it for a few coppers. The book wasn't very interesting, but between its pages there was something very interesting indeed. It was a thin strip of vellum on which was written the secret of the "Touchstone"!

The touchstone was a small pebble that could turn any common metal into pure gold. The writing explained
