"The intelligent, who have understood the Supreme Lord in association with pure devotees and have become freed from bad, materialistic association, can never avoid hearing the glories of the Lord, even though they have heard them only once.

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 smooth, one 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 .
On the contrary , an Atheist is selfish. He

At times, it can seem like life is our enemy, as if things never quite pan out the way we would like them to, as if there’s a secret conspiracy against us. However, it’s critical to remember that, in reality, life isn’t our enemy. There is no conspiracy. Life is just life. It is what it is. The factor that can make life seem like our enemy, however, is our thinking.
As obvious as this insight may seem, the implicatio
Within this material world, all the living entities, they are all conditioned, very limited number. The unlimited number are there in the spiritual world. But still Krsna has made arrangement. Krsna is giving us chance, this human form of life, that "I give you all facilities, all the supplies, necessities of your life. The river will serve you, the hills will serve, the mountains will serve you, the ocean will serve you, the forest will serve you, the vegetables will serve, the animals will ser

The Pandavas during the time of their exile once walked into the forest of Romarishi. Romarishi was a
sage whose body was covered with hair and his beard was so long that it spread like a carpet into the
entire area of the forest.
There was a sacred tree in that forest yielding a very special type of fruit which, once tasted by a person,
would relieve him of hunger and thirst for years and years. But the fruit was not to b

Sri Uddhava’s actual life is the direct symbol of the catuh-sloki Bhagavatam enunciated first to Brahmaji by the Personality of Godhead [SB 2.9.33/34/35/36]. These four very great and important verses from Srimad-Bhagavatam are particularly taken out by the Mayavadi speculators, who construe a different purport to suit their impersonal view of monism. Here is the proper answer to such unauthorized speculators. The verse

Demons Killed by Krishna and the Anarthas They Represent
Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura in his Sri Caitanya Siksamrita describes the demons Krishna killed in His Vrindavana pastimes and the anarthas (unwanted things) that they represent.
1. Putana – the pseudo guru.
2. Sakatasura (the cart demon) – carrying the burden of a cart-load of old and new bad habits, lethargy and vanity.
3. Trinavarta (the whirlwind demon) – false prid
Everything is perfectly being done by nature. Nature is appointed by Krsna. Krsna says in the Bhagavad-gita, mayadhyaksena prakrtih suyate sa-caracaram: [Bg. 9.10] "Under My control." So prakrti will work very nicely provided you are also nice, Krsna conscious. If you are not nice, then daivi hy esa gunamayi mama maya duratyaya [Bg. 7.14]. "My maya, My prakrti, My energy, is very strong, duratyaya." You cannot control the nature's way. That is not possible.This is the law of nature. If you becom

I came accross the following poem by complete chance - absolutely beautiful!
From an early age, Lord Krishna stole butter
In Gokul, he always did create a flutter
He broke earthen pots with a flourish
For the Lord, there was no need of cup or dish
The village of Gokul was surrounded by meadows
Around Mount Govardhan and its shadows
The Yamuna swept past in slow undulation
The pastures green with verdant vegetation
The cows and calves frolicked all day with Lord Krishna,
Their friends, the go

There was once a world-famous artist. He had an extraordinary talent for figure and portrait painting.
He came to Krishna, in his capital city of Dvaraka, and wanted to paint Krishna's portrait.
With a beaming smile Krishna said, "Well, if you want to paint my image you can certainly do so. Tell me
what I should do."
The artist requested, "Swami, if you would kindly just sit still for an hour in the same place, I will draw

Translation: By that confidential knowledge, I could understand clearly the influence of the energy of Lord Sri Krishna, the creator, maintainer and annihilator of everything. By knowing that, one can return to Him and personally meet Him.
Purport: By devotional service or by the most confidential knowledge, one can understand very easily how the different energies of the Lord are working

In Srimad Bhagavatam verse 7.6.1 Prahlad Maharaj instructs his classmates as

So actually when one becomes a devotee, he is qualitatively one with Krsna. Because one cannot become devotee without acquiring the Krsna qualities. You cannot go into the fire without being fire. Without being Brahman, you cannot approach Brahman. When one shall be ready to be exploited by Krsna, then he's a devotee.

When Shamika rshi heard that his son Shrngi had immaturely used his brahminical powers and cursed Maharaj Parikshit for throwing a dead snake on his neck, Shamika rshi was upset and he advised his son that he had committed a great sinful action, by cursing the king for an insignificant offence. He further

Once upon a time the colors of the world started to quarrel. All claimed that they were the best. The most
important. The most useful. The most beautiful. The favorite.
Green said:
"Clearly I am the most important. I am the sign of life and of hope. I was chosen for grass, trees and
leaves. Without me, all animals would die. Look over the countryside and you will see that I am in the
majority."
Blue interrupted:
