(The author is Murari Dasa, who has been preaching practically alone for the last two years in one of the world's poorest countries.)

Bhakta Ram has become very keen for any opportunity to distribute books, and so he joins me on weekend book distribution excursions.

On the first weekend of March Bhakta Ram and I rode by car about four hours to the shore of Lake Malawi, to a town called Mangochi, the main holiday-resort town in this country. Bhakta Ram took one of his com

This letter was sent to Shastra krt das, a book distributor in Los Angeles.

Dear Shastra,

Thank you so much for your dedication in distributing books to many college campuses!

I am not sure if you remember me because you encounter many students when handing out books, but we met at Citrus College and you gave me a copy of the Bhagvad Gita (last October or November, 2011). This book is one of the most precious in my life. It gives me motivation during difficult times and keeps me

A person without wearing a tulsi Kanthi offering even water, that waters is considered as Alchol :( Sad, people do not care about our old Vedic Practise. Tusli Kanti should always be worn by everybody.

Scientifically - Astma can be cured just by wearing a kanthi, it helps us purify polluted air while inhaling.

Even if a sinner wears a tulsi Kanthi Yamraja orders Chitraketu to tear the page from his book of good/bad deeds

So Krsna is so nice friend. He is such a nice friend that even to the enemy He gives the greatest benediction. Just like Putana. Putana came to kill Krsna, smearing poison on her breast. But Krsna gave her promotion on the motherly platform. Krsna is so grateful that "This demon might have come to Me to poison Me, but I have sucked her breast. She has become My mother. Therefore she must get the position of My mother." Krsna is so grateful. If you give little service to Krsna sincerely, Krsna wi

In the supplementary Vedic literature, there is the following list of thirty-two offenses in the matter of serving the Lord:--

(1) One should not enter the temple of the Deity in a car or palanquin or with shoes on the feet.

(2) Oneshould not fail to observe the various festivals for the pleasure of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, such as Janmastami and Ratha-yatra.

(3) One should not avoid bowing down before the Deity

There were two frogs. One frog lived in the sea. He knew vastness, openness and fathomless-ness. He was so used to bigness that the sea is, that no smallness could trap his attention.
The other frog lived in a well, not far from the sea. But he knew not what sea was. He had never seen it—not even heard of it. In his most wildest of imaginations, if at all he ever imagined, sea was an extended
well—or at the most, a `part'

There was a certain Yogi who used to practise meditation in a lonely part of the forest, on the banks of a river.
There was a poor cowherd, a very ignorant man, who used to tend his herd in that forest. Every day he
used to see this same Yogi meditating by the hour, practising austerities, living alone and studying.
Somehow the cowherd got curious as to what he did. So he came to the Yogi and said, "Sir, can you teach me t

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

THE SRIMAD-BHAGAVATAM The Bhagavatam, or Bhagavata Purana, is held to be the most significant of all the Puranas. It has about 18,000 verses in 12 cantos and is the most widely read and one of the greatest works of devotion ever written. It is a book that goes to the core of understanding God and reveals the bliss of devotion to the Supreme Being, the depths of which make the other Vedic gods, such as Shiva, also hanker for it. This Purana describes how Vyasadeva came to write it and details the

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.
