Srimad Bhagavatam

Srimad Bhagavata Purana_The ripened fruit of all Vedas

In the great Naimasharaya forest, in the assembly of the exalted rishis headed by Rishi Śaunaka, the perfect one – Śrī Sūta Gosvāmi recited to them – the Bhāgavat Purāna as sung by Śrī Sukadeva Goswami to Maharaj Parikshit on the banks of Ma Ganga near Hastinapur, amidst the greatest confluence of enlightened sages from all over the universe. Śrī Sukadeva, a self-realized perfect soul – an Avadhuta, narrated the greatest of purana when only 16 years old, but more learned than al

krsnera pratijna eka ache purva haite

ye yaiche bhaje, krsna tare bhaje taiche

Lord Krsna has a promise from before to reciprocate with His devotees according to the way they worship Him.

As all surrender unto Me, I reward them accordingly. Everyone follows My path in all respects, O son of Prtha.

Srila Acharyadeva asked us to post this here. It's a beautiful testimony to HG Yamuna Devi by Kalakantha Prabhu, enjoy!  A Few Memories of Yamuna Devi

My wife Jitamitra and I became close to Yamuna and Dinatarine Prabhus over the last five years. We run a fairly intense college outreach program. Some years ago, looking for a place to get away during the summer breaks, we decided to spend some time in Saranagati, as we had lived and served in Vancouver temple years ago and had many friends there.

Yamuna-devi and Srila Prabhupada–Vani and Vapuh

2514852632?profile=original

In 1971 Srila Prabhupada went to Allahabad for the Ardha-kumbha-mela, and Yamuna-devi and I were in the party that accompanied him. Srila Prabhupada spoke on the story of Ajamila and the holy name, from the Sixth Canto of Srimad-Bhagavatam. Only the first two cantos had been translated and published, so Prabhupada read from his Sanskrit Bhagavatam with commentaries, sometimes translating from Sridhara Svami’s and occasionally from Jiva Gosvami’s. While there, I heard that Srila Prabhupada had sa

Her Grace Yamuna Devi

2514852804?profile=original

 

With great sadness, the Governing Body Commission (GBC) of ISKCON, deeply mourn the departure of Her Grace Yamuna Devi. She dedicated the last 45 years of her life to the worship of Krishna and Srila Prabhupada. She was a mentor, guide, and friend to many and a beloved member and hero of ISKCON. At every ISKCON temple, her singing of "Govindam" greets the Lord.

 

Yamuna Devi was one of the most influential devotees during ISKCON's fledgling years. She was among a handful of people who established

Moscow courts had dismissed Gita cases

2514852713?profile=original

Tomorrow at 12:30 hours IST, Tomsk court, Russia, is due to pass its verdict on banning the Bhagavad Gita. An "anti-cult" group affiliated to the Russian Orthodox Church, has called for a ban on the Gita terming it an 'extremist' text. And the verdict can have far reaching repercussions - either way.

An expert panel was constituted to examine if the text incites religious hatred and humiliation.

"Banning the Gita as an extremist piece of literature would mean banning the Russian chapter of the Int

"Message of Love - Will You Ban?"

2514852656?profile=original

In the backdrop of the present sad controversy over the banning of the Bhagavad-gita in Russia, we present Lord Krishna’s side of the story. His take on the controversy is presented as a song based on poetic translations of four important Gita verses that express its message of love. The song comprises a chorus English verse and English renditions of those four verses followed by their Sanskrit originals.

My message of love,
Will you ban,

All beings are my children beloved, the seed of life, I give

Thought Of The Day

This is the goal that every vaisnava should have somehow or the other, I may become Krsna Conscious in a manner that my desire is only to save the other living entities even if it means that I have to undergo personal inconveniences.(Srimad Bhagavatam 4.18.7).

“Just Keep Chanting”… But How?

Whenever we are faced with any problem, we usually hear from our masters the single solution- “Just keep chanting.” I tried following this instruction and it absolutely didn’t work. One day, I got fed up with my fruitless chanting process and decided to jump from 1 round to directly 16 rounds. I was motivated. And with all enthusiasm, I started the rounds. At the end of 8 rounds, I felt great agony for Krsna and lost faith in Him. After the experience, I simply stopped chanting. Want to know wha

Thought Of The Day

So anyone who has got this desire that "I shall enjoy in this material world," he's a sinful man. That is sinful. Because suppose something your, something belongs to you, and if I desire, "How I shall take this, possession of this thing?" is not that criminal? Something belongs to somebody, and if you make a plan to possess that thing, is it not criminal? So actually, Krsna is the bhokta. Bhoktaram yajna-tapasam sarva-loka-mahesvaram [Bg. 5.29]. He is the proprietor, sarva-loka. Not a single pl
