In the afternoon, Srila Prabhupada met with Professor Don Ferrel from La Trobe University's Department of Modern Indian History. Originally from America, Professor Ferrel had invited devotees there to address some of his classes while he was still in the US, and had, over the years, collected a number of Srila Prabhupada's books.

When Amogha reminded Prabhupada that La Trobe was the campus where students had disrupted his lecture the previous year, Prabhupada was characterist

Actually, Krsna does not want you to do anything else except to become Krsna conscious. That is Krsna's desire. Sarva-dharman parityajya mam ekam saranam vraja [Bg. 18.66]. That is His desire. People say foolishly, "What is the desire of God?" And here is the the desire of God. Openly it is said that "You give up all other occupations. Simply take to this occupation, how to become a devotee." Man-mana bhava mad-bhaktah. That is Krsna's desire. But we shall not do that thing. We shall do everythi

How is Krishna the greatest scientist? Because He knows everything. Science means to know the thing correctly. A scientist is one who knows a subject matter thoroughly. Krishna knows everything. If I say that heat is the energy of Krishna, you cannot deny it, because it is not your energy. In your body there is some certain amount of heat. Similarly, heat is someone's energy. And who is that person? That is Krishna. Kri

The scientific community is given credit for bringing the civilization to the modern technological advanced age, conveniently labeling the history as dark ages. There was a rapid development in scientific community in terms of discoveries and inventions which led to Industrial Revolution. This revolution changed the face of the earth as we see it.

This advent of revolution was manifested in the form of consumerism. The fa

So Krsna has got two kinds of existence: prakata and aprakata. Prakata means when you see Krsna personally. When Krsna is present on this planet, everyone can see Krsna. And actually, everyone saw. But only the devotees could understand that "Here is the Supreme Personality of Godhead." So that is called prakata, "physically present." And there is another phase, which is called aprakata, "not physically present." But that does not mean Krsna is dead or God is dead. That does not mean. Prakata or

हरि नाम रस क्या है? जब हम भजन में गहरे उतरते
हैं, ध्यान में परमात्मा के गुणगान में जब
समूची इंद्रिया पूरी तरह डूब जाती है तब
हरि नाम रस के उत्पत्ति होती है. इसके बाद
संसार के विषय आकर्षित नहीं करते. मन भगवान
के चरणविन्द में अधिक लगने लगता है.
इस हरिनाम रस को पाना चाहते
हो तो सभी को सुख प्रदान करो, आनंद प्रदान
करो. यदि दिल में अशांति है
तो समझाना चाहिये की हमने ठीक तरह से
भगवान के चरणों का सहारा नहीं लिया,
क्योकि भगवत-शरणागति ही सब समस्याओं
का समाधान व सब क्लेशो का निवारण करने
की रामबाण औषधि है.

A very interesting story , A Swamiji,

before he retired from service and took Sannyasa, was known as Mr. Rao and was in the army where his job was to train typists. This was in the pre-Independence days when India was ruled by the British. One of the students in Mr. Rao's class was a young Englishman named Thomas who continued to type badly despite all possible coaching. One day Mr. Rao got tired of him and asked him a st

"GLORIOUS PRAHLADA"

In the Padma Purana, it mentions that Prahalada, Hiranyakashipu, Nrsingadev, they appear many times. It’s not only this one time. At least 3 differenti2 different incarnations in other days of Brahma are described in the Padma Purana.

One of those times he (Hiranyakashipu) worshiped Shiva and got the blessing. Another time he worshiped Brahma again. When he was worshiping Shiva and he wanted Prahalada to admit tha

Here are some of the top reasons:

Other people do not know how to criticize properly.  Most people criticize in such a way that makes us very emotional. However, we know that we cannot control how other people express themselves, but we can control how we internally respond to their criticism. 

We often take it too personally.  We must remember that it is our actions or performance that is really being criticized and not u

Just like the child is sitting on the lap of the father. So the child is confident that "I'm secure." So it has no more any second desire. In the material world, because we have not surrendered to Krsna we are always wandering helpless. Everyone here feeling helpless. Even though one is millionaire, even though one is president, but he's feeling helpless. This is the position, material conditional life.

Because of lack of transcendental knowledge, one is thinking, “Oh because of Krishna Consciousness, I will give up some happiness, like going to the movies at night.” Some kind of attachment is there.

There is a story about Sanatana Goswami’s servant. He asked Sanatana Goswami, “There is a party going on in the forest…there is a big festival. Could I go and participate?”

Sanatana Goswami said, “Festival?…in the middle of t
