If you want to see God, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, you can do so easily. All you have to do is purify your consciousness by regularly chanting His holy names on a daily basis. In this way you will attract the attention of the Supreme Lord, who will personally reveal Himself to you when you heart becomes free from all material contamination.

One can be strictly engaged in Krsna consciousness when he's free from all sinful activity. Otherwise not possible. Of course, Krsna is very kind. If you are engaged in krsna-bhakti sincerely, if by mistake you commit some sin, that can be excused. But if you purposefully commit sinful activities, you'll never get Krsna's approach.

A Seattle eatery that’s celebrating its 10th anniversary this year serves sanctified pure vegetarian food with a difference.
It’s completely free. My Sweet Lord, located ten minutes’ walk from the University of Washington in an area populated with student residences, vegan restaurants and arthouse theaters, is a haven for students, drifters, and the homeless youth of Seattle.
It all came about when out-of-the-box preacher Hari-Vilasa Dasa, who had been holding weekly programs at a rented room
So this material nature is nothing but machine. It is not God. Those who are with poor fund of knowledge, they are taking directly this material nature as working. No. Material nature has no power to act. It is dull. The same example, the computer. It is a very nice machine, but it cannot work automatically unless an expert pushes the button. So material nature cannot do anything. It is Krsna's direction. So in everywhere there is Krsna's direction. One who has got the eyes to see, for him, krsn
A story is told about a mountain climber, who was also a devotee, liked to climb tall mountains for fun and to impress his friends. After years of preparation and training he felt he could handle any mountain terrain in the world, regardless of the degree of difficulty.
During a climbing trip, with five other devotees, he decided he would make the final climb to the summit, solo, so he could get there first and claim the glory, while the others slept. After the rest of the climbing party turned-i
What is important, of course, is the effort one makes in chanting, but receiving the holy name is also very important. It is a relationship, and we should want to deepen that relationship with Krsna and the holy name. When we make a commitment to a person, then there is both what we extend and what we receive -- the give and take. In our case, we are with Krsna and we are offering some service. So in our relationship with the holy name, the mood of service is very important. Simply chant as a se
What happens when you make a step towards Krishna? He makes one hundred steps towards you. It’s true! And when you feel Krishna is making a hundred steps towards you …”OOOOOO Krishna! Let me make another step towards You.” Then Krishna makes another hundred steps towards you.”OOOOOO Krishna!” Like that it continues. You are not alone. If you are alone, it’s very lonely; it is not encouraging. “I cannot make it on myown.” You cannot make it on your own, but with Krishna’s help it is possible.He i

The Gopis’ Songs of Separation SB 10.31 Summary
This chapter relates how the gopis, overwhelmed by feelings of separation from Krsna, sat down on the bank of the Yamuna and began praying for His audience and singing His glories. Because the gopis had dedicated their minds and very lives to Krsna, they were beside themselves with the transcendental pain of separation. But their crying, which appears like evidence of misery, actually shows their exalted state of transcendental bliss. As it is said
Hare Krishna and dandavat pranam to all prabhujis and matajis! Recently, one of my friends gave me a Bhagavad Gita , published by Ramkrishna Mission which had the worst purports (because they were written by impersonalist sannyasins or Mayavadis). I give example of one such verse-
