When one goes to prison he has to put aside his usual dress and take the prison dress. Similarly, anyone who comes into this material world has to take a material body. This is the law. Unless you have this material body, how can you feel pleasure in material sense enjoyment? It is just like performing on stage: if you are going to play a certain part, you have to dress accordingly. Therefore, this material body is com

Congratulations devotees,
because of your prayers, we won the Bhagvad Gita case again in Tomsk, Russia.
NDTVMoscow:

India's diplomatic efforts to resolve a controversy relating to Russian state prosecutors' bid to get a Russian interpretation of the Bhagavad Gita banned and branded extremist literature will be put to test again with a high court in the Siberian city of Tomsk set to deliver its final verdict on Tuesday.

Anxiety and frustration has gripped Hindus in Russia as they feel there was

Posted: 21 Mar 2012 09:26 PM PDT These rascals, they do not know what is Krsna. They think Krsna is ordinary man. “Why He is engaging Arjuna in the fighting? Why He is dancing withothers’ daughter and girls? These are immoral things.” Therefore this rasa dance should not be discussed among the fools and rascals. They’ll misunderstand. Although the professional reciters, they take part, wheneverthey speak of Bhagavata, they immediately jump over the rasa dance. That is not to be done. Caitanya Ma

 An atheist was walking through the woods. 'What majestic trees!' 'What powerful rivers!' 'What beautiful animals!' He said to himself. As he was walking alongside the river, he heard a rustling in the bushes behind him. He turned to look. He saw a 7-foot grizzly bear charge towards him. He ran as fast as he could up the path. He looked over his shoulder & saw that the bear was closing in on him. He looked over his shoulder again, & the bear was even closer. He tripped & fell on the ground. He r

Maya means absence of Krsna consciousness. This is maya, absence of Krsna consciousness. When you forget Krsna, this is maya. When we remember Krsna, know Krsna, there is no maya. Just like you have experience that you go through the cloud and then come to the sunshine, there is no more cloud. So below the cloud there is darkness, there is... We cannot see the sun. So the sunshine is profuse sunshine. Not that cloud can cover the sunshine. Similarly, Krsna is all-pervading. Andantara-stha-parama

After this killing Aristasura pastime took place which is described here as

“krsnenadbhuta-karmana” (S.B 10.36.16)

This is wonderful pastime of Lord killing this Aristasura demon.

“kamsayathaaha bhagavan narada deva-darsanah” (S.B 10.36.16)

 After killing Aristasura Narada muni comes to Mathura playing his Veena

“Naradmuni bajaye veena radhikaraman namane”

 Narada muni veena, veena Narada muni, so when he comes to Vrindhavan Narada muni is because veena he plays everywhere and he sings glories of Rad

Vedic instruction is He is also a person. God is also a person. Just like we see Krsna. Krsna is person; we are also person. The difference is this person is worshiped, and we are worshiper. That is the difference. Otherwise, He's person, we are person. But the one person... Just like king. King is also person, and the citizens are also person. The president is also person, and the citizens are also person. But what is the difference? The difference is the president or the king or the spiritual

"Our philosophy is that you produce your food anywhere you stay, and keep cows, take milk, produce vegetables, food grains, and chant Hare Krsna. That's all. This is our philosophy. Make your life successful. By becoming Krsna conscious, you become free from al these troubles of material condition. This is our education." Srila Prabhupada, Conversations, May 25, 1974

Under the influence of few atheists, Maharashtra Government is planning to pass the proposed anti-superstitions Act; which is actually aimed at trampling Hindu faiths, during the present budgetary session of 2012. Ban will be imposed on your performing regular ritualistic worship, following observances, religious ceremonies, 'keertans', discourses etc. if the said Act is passed. Under the Act, ban can be imposed even on 'Haripath', recitation of 'strotras', Srimat Bhagavatgeeta and 'Vedas' etc.

Dear Krsna ,

     My heart sings this night like a sweet nightengale.  I cannot say I really understand why you love me.   Yet tonight unlike any other I do .   I just want to tell you how very grateful I am to you for today and all my yesterdays.

     From the beginning of this lifetime there seemed to be a dark cloud hanging over me.   And , for all intents and purposes I should have been dead long ago.   For a long time i was hurt and angry about all the "bad" I had been through.   But , tonig

So the Krsna consciousness movement means to practice in this life how to enter Krsna's family. You enter Krsna's family as you like. There are five rasas: santa-rasa, dasya-rasa, sakhya-rasa, vatsalya-rasa, and madhurya-rasa. That is reflected in this world also, the same. Tejo-vari-mrdam vinimayah. This..., this material world is reflection of the spiritual world. Chayeva yasya bhuvanani bibharti durga [Bs. 5.44]. Here there are rasas, santa-rasa, dasya-rasa. Here also there is master and serv

Bgagavan Krishna says in Gita   "The Supreme God  is situated in the heart of all living beings and by His `maya'  (illusionary energy)  is causing them to work out their `karma' , as if they are mounted on a machine. Seek refuge in the Supreme God alone with loving devotion. By His grace you shall attain supreme peace and the eternal abode."

Sri Krishna, as the localized Super-soul, sits in the heart directing the livi
