Bgagavan Krishna says in Gita   "The Supreme God  is situated in the heart of all living beings and by His `maya'  (illusionary energy)  is causing them to work out their `karma' , as if they are mounted on a machine. Seek refuge in the Supreme God alone with loving devotion. By His grace you shall attain supreme peace and the eternal abode."

Sri Krishna, as the localized Super-soul, sits in the heart directing the livi

Hare Krishna,,,

nearly ten years ago, i nearly ran over a devotee doing book distribution.  He gave me my first book about krisna consciousness when i jumped from my car to apologize.  His name was Bhakta Jesse and was from st. louis missouri.  his mother also joined the movement.  after i was initiated, i learned he is my god brother.  i do not know his innitiated name, but do know that he is/was in the hawaii temple.  i want to find him and say thankyou for giving me the gift of prahbupads boo

So Krsna consciousness is so nice. You try to execute it to your best capacity, that's all. Even there is some mistake... Don't commit mistake intentionally. But due to my habit, past habit, I may commit some mistake. That is excused. If we fix up our mind is serving Krsna severely and seriously, then even there is some mistake... Rupa Gosvami also says that yena tena prakarena manah krsne... First of all fix up your mind to Krsna. And the other rules and regulation... Of course, they are to be

Since the next day I would return to Johannesburg from Dar es Salaa, which is on the east coast of Africa, I decided to take a walk along the beach. I told the taxi driver where I wanted to go, and he said he knew where it was and would take me there. But after he dropped me off and I had walked for some time, I realized I was far from where I had intended to be. But it was hot and I wasn't prepared to find another taxi. So I just kept walking. Soon I approached the ferryboat terminal, where h

Nowadays almost everyone is accessible on email. What about God? He is available on a very special type of email, which is as old as the human race and which requires no internet. Its knee-mail – mailing prayers from our heart to God while standing on our knees. Almost all the great wisdom traditions of the world urge us to physically express humility while praying. In addition to the kneeling down common in Semitic religions, the Vedic culture recommends prostrating the entire body in panchanga

Early in his spiritual life HH Bhaktitirtha Maharaj learned an important lesson. When he first started joined the Hare Krishna movement he noticed that the devotees, although preaching a philosophy of absolute equality between all living entities based on every individual as an eternal spirit soul, were discriminating against him on the basis of racial prejudice.

He was surprised and disturbed to find such a low level of consciousness amongst with in a spiritual society. When he had the opportuni

  God Does Exist!

A man went to a barbershop to have his hair cut and his beard trimmed. As the barber began to work, they began to have a good conversation. They talked about so many things and various subjects. When they eventually touched on the subject of God, the barber said, “I don’t believe that God exists.” Why do you say that,” asked the customer.

“Well, you just have to go out in the street to realize that God doesn’t exist. Tell me, if God exists, would there be so many sick people?

Krishna-Bhakti is the life-air of this world . Without it,  the world will not survive. Modern religions like Christianity and Islam ask it's followers to keep away from Human-gods. To them,  Krishna is a mere human and not God. However, they fail to answer the reason behind the visible Krishna-miracles happening all over the world . Gita-logic  is also inaccessible to these Scholars .

Although,  Krishna appeared in a h

Sri Sri Sikshashtakam Prayers

Eight Instructions by Lord Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu instructed His disciples to write books on the science of Krishna, a task which His followers have continued to carry out down to the present day.

The elaborations and expositions on the philosophy taught by Lord Caitanya are, in fact, the most voluminous, exacting, and consistent, due to the system of disciplic succession. Although Lord Caitanya was widely renowned as a scholar in His youth,

So therefore this affection is the very hard knot for being bound up in this material world, this affection. Therefore the Vedic civilization is that the affection is to be cut off compulsory at a certain age, not that the affection should continue. If the affection continues, then there is no chance of my becoming free from this material world. There is no chance. Therefore vanaprastha. Because the wife's..., affection with the wife, is very, very strong. So vanaprastha means the husband and wi
