Sri Sankaracarya - Appearance

SRI SANKARACARYA

adi-sankara-x400.jpgIn order to establish his doctrine of non-violence, Lord Buddha flatly refused to believe in the Vedas, and thus, later on, Sri Sankaracarya stopped this system of religion in India and forced it to go outside India.

Sri Sankaracarya wanted to establish the predominance of one's spiritual identity; therefore he wanted to convert the atheists through an imaginary interpretation of the Vedic literatures. These are the secrets of the acaryas. Sometimes they conceal the real purpo

Celebrate India - Holi

By Krishna-kumara Dasa I’m out traveling again, and yesterday our party visited the University of Santa Barbara in California. After a full day of sankirtan, it was time to go back to the van. So, praying to do something to please my spiritual master and Krsna, I decided to try to distribute one more book. As I passed by a young couple, I didn’t even seriously approach them because they appeared to be stereotypical athlete-cheerleader people. At this point I was just hunting for an obvious sweet

(The author is Murari Dasa, who has been preaching practically alone for the last two years in one of the world's poorest countries.)

Bhakta Ram has become very keen for any opportunity to distribute books, and so he joins me on weekend book distribution excursions.

On the first weekend of March Bhakta Ram and I rode by car about four hours to the shore of Lake Malawi, to a town called Mangochi, the main holiday-resort town in this country. Bhakta Ram took one of his com

This letter was sent to Shastra krt das, a book distributor in Los Angeles.

Dear Shastra,

Thank you so much for your dedication in distributing books to many college campuses!

I am not sure if you remember me because you encounter many students when handing out books, but we met at Citrus College and you gave me a copy of the Bhagvad Gita (last October or November, 2011). This book is one of the most precious in my life. It gives me motivation during difficult times and keeps me

few Glories of Shrimati Tulsi Maharani

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada


A person without wearing a tulsi Kanthi offering even water, that waters is considered as Alchol :( Sad, people do not care about our old Vedic Practise. Tusli Kanti should always be worn by everybody.

Scientifically - Astma can be cured just by wearing a kanthi, it helps us purify polluted air while inhaling.

Even if a sinner wears a tulsi Kanthi Yamraja orders Chitraketu to tear the page from his book of good/bad deeds

Thought Of The Day

So Krsna is so nice friend. He is such a nice friend that even to the enemy He gives the greatest benediction. Just like Putana. Putana came to kill Krsna, smearing poison on her breast. But Krsna gave her promotion on the motherly platform. Krsna is so grateful that "This demon might have come to Me to poison Me, but I have sucked her breast. She has become My mother. Therefore she must get the position of My mother." Krsna is so grateful. If you give little service to Krsna sincerely, Krsna wi

The Two Frogs

Hare krsna

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada


There were two frogs. One frog lived in the sea. He knew vastness, openness and fathomless-ness. He was so used to bigness that the sea is, that no smallness could trap his attention.
The other frog lived in a well, not far from the sea. But he knew not what sea was. He had never seen it—not even heard of it. In his most wildest of imaginations, if at all he ever imagined, sea was an extended
well—or at the most, a `part'

The Yogi And The Cowherd

Hare krsna

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada


There was a certain Yogi who used to practise meditation in a lonely part of the forest, on the banks of a river.
There was a poor cowherd, a very ignorant man, who used to tend his herd in that forest. Every day he
used to see this same Yogi meditating by the hour, practising austerities, living alone and studying.
Somehow the cowherd got curious as to what he did. So he came to the Yogi and said, "Sir, can you teach me t

The Indescribable Beauty of Srimati Radharani


Sri Radha - Radharani - Radhika

"O Radharani, O Queen of Vrindavana, Your complexion is like molten gold, Your doe-like eyes are captivatingly restless, a million full and brilliant moons wane before Your lustrous countenance, and a blue sari, having stolen the hue of a fresh rain-laden cloud, has enwrapped Your exquisite form. O Radha, You are the crest-jewel of all the dallying damsels of Vrindavana, fragrant and pristine like a budding jasmine flower. Your sublime form is adorned

Sri Sri Radha Krishna Pastimes

"When Srimati Radharani first saw Krishna, She suddenly became conscious of all transcendental happiness, and the functions of Her different limbs were stunned. When Lalita, Her constant companion, whispered into Her ear, the holy name of Krishna, Radharani immediately opened Her eyes wide. (Nectar of Devotion, pg 259)

Srimati Radharani"One day, in a joking mood, Krishna informed Radharani, 'My dear Radharani, I am going to give up Your Company.' Upon saying this, He immediately disappeared, and because of this,

There are very few people who do not pray to get a good life.  Everyone wishes to have a pleasant life . When the life becomes smoothone can fulfill his responsibilities on time without bowing down to  others

A Bhakta is a broad minded . He knows that his good life is the gift of Bhagavan Sri Krishna . He gladly spends part of his wealth for Bhagavan and his needy Bhaktas .

It is a book that goes to the core of understanding God and reveals the bliss of devotion to the Supreme Being, the depths of which make the other Vedic gods, such as Shiva, also hanker for it. This Purana describes how Vyasadeva came to write it and details the
