The goals of modern-day yoga enthusiasts are dwarfed by the achievements of India's ancient yogis, who, according to historical accounts, could become smaller than atoms and lighter than air and who could travel, unaided, anywhere in the universe. Yet even these superachievements, says Srila Prabhupada, are "only a step forward." How the true pinnacle of human consciousness, superconsciousness, is obtainable -- here and

Regulative principles only bring in the discipline and obedience to authority.  We need to adopt Bhagavta Vidhi as well in parallel for our progress.

Therefore Srila Prabhupad simeltanious introduced Panchatratrika Vidhi and Bhagavt Vidhi.

Pancharatrika Vidh helps us in Vidhi Marg and Bhagavath Vidhi helps us in Rananuga Marg.

Both of this is considered as Sadhana Bhakti.

The grace of the Lord is abhaya, free from fearfulness. The benediction of the Lord is never to be lost. It is simply to be enjoyed. One simply gains and enjoys gaining. Bhagavad-gita also confirms this: when one achieves the grace of the Lord, the result is that all distresses are destroyed. When situated in the transcendental position, one is freed from the two kinds of material diseases—hankering and lamentation. Lam

Alexander the Great arrested one thief, and was going to punish him. The thief pleaded, "Sir, you are punishing me, but what is the difference between you and me? I am a small thief, you are a great thief. You are occupying other's kingdom by force; you have no right. Because you are strong, you are conquering country after country. I am also doing the same thing. So what is the difference?" Alexander considered, "Yes,

Once upon a time a farmer owned an old mule. The mule fell into the farmer's well. The farmer heard the mule 'braying' after it fell into the well.
After carefully assessing the situation, the farmer sympathized with the mule, but decided that neither
the mule nor the well was worth the trouble of saving.
Instead, he called his neighbors together and told them what had happened...and enlisted them to help

People generally go to guru, "Sir, I have got some pain. Give me some ashirvad so that my pain may be cured." "But why you have come here for curing your pain? You can go to some doctor, or you can take some tablet. Is it the purpose of coming to guru?" But generally they come to guru and ask for blessing for some material benefit. It is not the guru's task to supply gold and medicine. Not that "I have got some pain her

A person who is self-absorbed takes him or herself extremely seriously. They value their own time – but no one else’s.  They are usually quite selfish with their time, love, and money, in addition to lacking compassion for those less fortunate. 

Self-absorbed people are arrogant and often treat others as instruments or objects to get something they want. They usually see only one point of view – their own. They are righ

Everyone is eating. We are also eating. But we don’t eat directly. Whatever we prepare and whatever we collect, we first of all offer to Krishna. Because we think —and it is a fact—that everything belongs to Krishna. Krishna has given. You cannot manufacture rice, dhal or wheat in your factory, neither fruit, nor milk. It is given by Krishna. Eko bahūnām vidadhāti kāmān. He is giving and one has to acknowledge that, “Y
