Pastime from Chaitanya-mangala by Srila Lochan Dasa Thakura

Narada Muni once went to Vaikuntha and served Mother Lakshmi very sincerely. 
Srimati Laxmi Devi was very pleased and requested Narada Muni to ask for any boon. Narada Muni replied, "My dear Mother Lakshmi, you must promise that whatever I ask for, you will-grant." Lakshmi Devi vowed that she would gladly fulfill his desire. The great saint revealed his wish: Nar

Panihati is located on the banks of the Ganges 10 miles North of Calcutta, in West Bengal India. It is the site of many wonderful spiritual pastimes of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu and His close personal associates.
This pastime of the Lord is about how the devotees pleased Lord Chaitanya and Nityananda and how the Lord reciprocated with the devotees in a very wonderful and pleasing festival called the Panihati Cida-dadhi ma

It is because certain persons, although strictly practising the religious rituals, scrutinizingly learning the religious philosophy and dedicatedly propagating those rituals and philosophy, never really humble themselves or strive to become purified of false pride. Unless they very diligently strive to become purified of false pride, that pride will creep into

The following is an instructive moral story told by His Divine Grace Bhaktisiddantha Saraswati Goswami Thakur Prabhupada.

A small but touching story with a deep message.

A ticket collector in a train found an old worn out wallet in a compartment full of many people. He looked inside to find the name of its owner. There was no clue.

Many people never apologize. Th

We cannot accept anyone as an avatara unless he has the symptoms described in the scriptures. Nowadays it has become a fashion that any man can come and say that he is God or an incarnation of God, and some accept it: "Oh, he is God." We do not accept an avatara like that. We take evidence from the Vedas. An avatara must conform to descriptions in the Vedas. Then we accept him; otherwise no.
