Just like if there is some epidemic, disease, and if you take vaccine, it is supposed that you are free from the contamination. So this vaccine of chanting Hare Krsna maha-mantra will keep you fit without any contamination of this age of Kali. And that is happening. All over the world people are chanting Hare Krsna maha-mantra. And practically we see, those who are chanting, they're becoming free from the contamination.

In this material world we are looking for that perfect love relationship. We are looking for that person that we can fully give ourselves to, who will be able to perfectly and fully reciprocate our love. So many times we try to totally give ourselves to someone that we feel is such a person. But then we end up feeling disappointed and frustrated after we realize that they are not what really what we th

Some information Rajani devi (mother of Srila Prabhupada)
Here is an excerpt from the Prabhupada Lilamrta about Srila Prabhupada's mother, Srimati Rajani Devi.
Abhay’s mother, Rajani, was thirty years old when he was born. Like her husband, she came from a long-established Gaudiya Vaisnava family. She was darker-skinned than her husband, and whereas his disposition was cool, hers tended to be fiery. Abhay saw his mother and father living together peacefully; no deep marital conflict or complicated

Today I was listening to a recorded lecture of our spiritual master H H Mahavishnu Goswami Maharaj, in which Maharaja gave some startling revelations quoting two examples from Srimad Bhagavatam, as to how dangerous, possessing wealth is for our devotional service.
He started by saying,"First of all we have to accept the supreme authority of Krishna. Se
A love for Krishna that crosses Religious Lines
For 36 years, Abdul Rashid, a 58- yearold Muslim, has been making clothes adorned by the deities at the ISKCON temple; he is now designing pink outfits embellished with silver zari for the idols for Rang Panchami
IN India, religion dominates people’s lives to a great extent that at times, it dictates people’s professions too. However, there are a few times when devotion is not constrained by religion.
Abdul Rashid is such an example.

Question: Why are Spiritualists Against Material Ambitions?
Short Answer: Spiritualists are not against material ambitions; they are against our granting materialism a monopoly on our ambitions.
Detailed Answer:
All of us are naturally ambitious to do something wonderful. Baut not all of us realize that we have not freely or objectively chosen our definition of what is wonderful; our definition is shaped, even determined

There is no difference between Gaura and Krishna in tattva. Krishna is Gaura, and Gaura is Krishna. However,
Gaura is Krishna combined with mahabhava-svarupini Srimati Radharani. In vraja-lila there are two forms —
rasaraja Krishna and madanakhya-mahabhavamayi Srimati Radharani. But ingaura-lila, there is one form. Radha combined with Krishna — that is Gaura. Otherwise there is no difference between Gaura and Krishna. Thi

Regardless of who you are or what you do, you are going to run into (and have to deal with) at least some amount of incompetence in your work life. Why not learn to take it in stride, and not let it bother you so much?
This acceptance of the way things really are will probably allow you to say (or think) something like, “Of course it’s going to be like this from time to time.” Rather than focusing on the most dramatic an

On the most auspicious occasion of the advent of Srimad Bhagavad gita which is celebrated as Gita Jayanthi, we will all be reciting the whole Bhagavad gita. To understand the value of the recitation of the transcendental sound vibration of Bhagavad gita, which emanated from the lotus lips of the Supreme Personality Of Godhead, at the end of recitin

You can be annoyed by problems in life; think about how unfair and awful they are, complaining about them with others. You can remind yourself, over and over again, how difficult life is and how this problem is yet another justification for why you “have a right” to be upset! You can tighten up. Unfortunately, this is the way many people approach their problems.
When you think of your problems as speed bumps on a road, h

The people we remember to thank, in person, with a thoughtful note or gesture, or a phone call, are infinitely more likely to help us again than those we take for granted or neglect to thank. It’s so obvious, yet so few people really understand how this works.
People love to be acknowledged, admired, and thanked. People love to be thanked, not out of any selfish need but simply because it feels good to be acknowledged.

People panic about practically everything—missed deadlines, orders not received, comments by others, fear of mistakes, negative trends. You name it and someone has panicked about it. Yet I’ve never seen even a single instance where the panic actually helped to solve the problem. Instead, panic is neutral at best and greatly interferes at worst. Panic tends to bring out the worst in everyone. It makes others (and you) fe

The only survivor of a shipwreck was washed up on a small, uninhabited island. He prayed feverishly for God to rescue him, and every day he scanned the horizon for help, but none seemed forthcoming.
Exhausted, he eventually managed to build a little hut out of driftwood to protect himself from the elements, and to store his few possessions. But then one day, after scavenging for food, he arrived home to find his little h
