Hare Krsna

Just like we have no knowledge of Krsna, conditioned soul. Therefore for our understanding, He is so merciful, He descends as arca-murti. This Deity which we are worshiping, that is called arcavatara, incarnation of arca. He's accepting our worship, our prayer, our everything. He has descended just suitable for our handling. That is His mercy. Therefore we should not consider that this arca Krsna is made of stone, as atheists will say, that "These foolish persons are worshiping... Heathens, they

Kalis strategy – Quarrel & Hypocrisy - United We Stand, Divided We Fall

A bird hunter used to capture groups of quails by throwing a net over them. The leader of the flock made a plan: “If this hunter throws his net over a group of you, each of you put a wing out through the net and flap it in unison with the rest. That way you can fly away net. Then you descend into a thorn tree and entangle the net there and slip away.”

Once a young boy found a job in a barn. Everyday he had to remove all the cow dung, clean the whole place, feed, milk and bathe the cows, let them graze for sometime and tie them back in the shed. His employer was a very strict person. He would not tolerate even a minor slip-up and would punish anyone who failed at
his duty.
A new Ganesh temple was being built in the town. It was decided that the Ganesh idol should be ta

After having lost his kingdom in the game of dice (Indian Ludo) with Duryodhana, Yudhishtra, the eldest
among the Pandavas, was living in the forest along with his four brothers and their wife, Draupadi. The
Pandavas roamed about freely in the forest and thus got acquainted with many seers (Rishis) who dwelled
there.
One day while roaming in the forest, Arjuna and Draupadi came across a tree bearing a very large

n a town, there lived a wealthy man who was miserly by nature. The poor people of the town often
approached him either for money or for some other help. Without showing any pity on them, this wealthy
man would send them off without helping them. He had not even kind words to offer them. Instead, he would rebuke the poor people who came to him for help.
Once, the town was struck by severe draught, since there was no rain for

Giriraja Swami's advice to us

A few evenings ago, our traveling sankirtan entourage was blessed with the audience of His Holiness Giriraja Swami. This association was just like nectar as our four-week trek came to a close.

First of all, I think I made spiritual advancement just by observing him and his movements. He gave us maha-prasad and then imparted transcendental knowledge into our hearts in the form of sankirtan instructions. The points I remembered are as follows:

1) Throughout the conversat

A devotee's departure

The news that Srila Prabhupada had decided to live spread quickly through the ISKCON world. Especially in Vrndavana, the devotees became more light-hearted and thankful. One afternoon, later in the month, Hari-sauri came into Prabhupada's room with good news. "I was in Delhi yesterday, Srila Prabhupada. I spoke to one of the temple presidents in Australia, and he gave me a very encouraging report. He said that all the Indian Gitas that we got just recently are almost complet

In this material life there is a fire always. Bhava-maha-davagni. Davagni means the forest fire, the fire in the forest. Nobody goes to set fire in the forest, nobody has got any business to do that. But still, there is fire. It takes place. Everyone knows. Automatically, by the collision of dry branches of bamboo and others there is electricity and dry leaves that set fire, in this way, a big fire. So similarly, in this material world nobody wants that there may be fire and we all burn. No, nob

HH Bhakti Charu Swami Maharaja's visit to Southern California

We are very happy to inform you that Guru Maharaja will be coming to the Los Angeles/Orange County area in the next few weeks.

Here is the tentative itinerary:

A Change of Heart

It was a particularly challenging day for book distribution at North Carolina State University. Very few students seemed to have any care to even begin to consider the books I tried to show them. I prayed to Guru and Krishna for help, knowing that I am most likely at fault for being selfishly disposed.

As my resolve weakened, I walked toward a science building where I thought I might take a break to read a little bit. My legs ached and the cold wind taunted my miserable acceptanc

Laguna beach temple, USA - History 1980

In 1977, an article in the local paper announced that the city was going to fine ISKCON for having religious services in a commercially zoned building.

“One day, an Iranian gentleman dropped by,” Shuddhi recalls. “He said, ‘I read about your predicament and I have just the opposite problem! I bought a property for commercial purposes, but they told me it was zoned as a church. So what do you say I give you the church, and you give

Final Lila

Although Srila Prabhupada now had a permanent secretary -- Tamal Krsna Goswami -- he still wanted to have his GBC men regularly associating with him for a month at a time. Hari-sauri had arranged to be with Srila Prabhupada for the month of October. On the last day of September 1977, Hari-sauri arrived in Bombay.
 

Before he entered Prabhupada's room however, Tamal Krsna warned him. "Prabhupada's changed a lot since you last saw him because he's not eating any solids now." As Hari-sauri

Srimati Sita Devi

Srimati Sita Devi is the daughter of the Earth goddess, Bhumi Devi, and central figure of the Ramayana. InMaharishi Valmiki's own words, Ramayana is known as the noble story of Sita "Sita-ayah Charitam Mahat".

Her glories are sun by the poet-saint Thyagaraja in his "Sri Janakatayane"

Oh daughter of Janaka, the blessed souls of refugees! Oh Consort of Sri Raghu Rama, bedecked with shining gem-ornaments! Pray, protect me always! You are the wind that destroys the clouds of demon
