There are different methods of donating alms.

One of the most sacred is known as tulapurusha. In this, a pair of scales is used. The person who is donating the alms ascends on one side of the scales and gold is placed on the other side until the scales are exactly balanced. This is the amount of gold that has to be donated if punya is to be acquired.

A second sort of donation is known as hiranyagarbha. In this , a pot full

The greatest punya is acquired from donating wealth to brahmanas. Or from providing them with employment.

Another performer of good deeds is one who gets a pond digged.

Punya is also acquired by building temples dedicated to Vishnu. The best temple is one that is made of gold. Progressively lower down the ranking are the ones that are made of copper, crystal, stone, bricks and wood.

He who maintains a pond, a temple or a vi

Yoga means the connecting link between the soul and the Supersoul, or the Supreme and the minute living creatures. Lord Sri Krishna is that Supreme, the Personality of Godhead. Being, therefore, the ultimate object of yoga, Krishna's name is yogeshvara, the master of yoga.

When the yoga performance is described, it is said that Krishna's name is yogeshvara. No one can be a better yogi than the master of yoga, and Krishna

People do not know that they can become immortal. Immortal we are, but we have been embodied in this material body. Therefore we have to accept mortality, birth and death. This is the beginning of spiritual life. Spiritual life means how to become immortal. They come to ask me, "Sir, do you know some spiritual magic?" All for material benefit. For them spiritualist means something magic so that you can get some material

There was a hunter who came into the possession of a special bird dog. The dog was the only one of its kind, because it can walk on water.

One day he invited a friend to go hunting with him so that he could show off his prized possession. After some time, they shot a few ducks, which fell into the river. The  man ordered his dog to run and fetch the birds. The dog ran on water to fetch the birds.

We have got so many duties. So long we are not fully surrendered to Krsna... It is not that this Krsna consciousness movement is to give shelter to some irresponsible man who does not carry the responsibilities of family life or brahmacari life. But that is now forgotten. Everything is topsy-turvied. So Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu says that krsna-bhakti, Krsna consciousness movement, may be offered even to the candala. Candala means the lowest of the human society, the dog-eaters. Candala. This is t

Ceasing sense enjoyment

Tota Gopinath Deity

The middle Deity is Tota Gopinatha, with black Radharani (on the left of Gopinatha) and a black Lalita (to the right of the Lord).

When Radharani is in intense separation of Krsna she takes the complexion of Krsna and when Krsna is in intense separation of  Radharani the He takes the complexion of Radharani.

When Krsna takes not only the complexion but also the mood then He is acknowledged as Caitanya Ma
