One time, Padma Purana says how when Bhakta Prahalad was preaching about Visnu bhakti and everything then, Hiranyakashipu got very angry and sent his soldiers to kill him. So first they tried...they struck him with a sword. But as soon as the weapon would hit Prahalad, it turned into a blue lotus, Neel Utpal. Blue lotus.

Another soldier came up with a spear and went to stab Prahalad in the heart, "kill him!" But as soon as it touched Prahalad, it turned into a blue lotus. Someone came up with his

There are many different Nrsinga temples, in, especially in south India. Ofcourse, here we have our Nrsingapalli, where the Lord Nrsinga was flying over Navadweep then he landed in Nrsingapalli, and he wasn't approachable after killing Hiranyakashipu, but here he became very approcahable.

So all the devas built cottages around Nrsingadev's, build Him a cottage and they were serving Him, giving Him bogha and faning and doing all kinds of personal services. So here in Navadweep dham, the Lord is ac

Last year before Nrsimha Caturdasi we received several incredible stories of Mayapur Lord Nrsimhadeva saving devotees. He cancelled devotees' cancer, and provided a couple with a baby. In a disciple's dream He showed that He was protecting Jayapataka Swami, and when a huge bush fire raged towards a devotee's home, upon her prayers He blew the flames away.

This year coming up to the time of Nrsimha Caturdasi I have had no new stories. When I went to Mayapur

Mangalagiri means The Auspicious Hill. This place is one of the 8 important Mahakshetrams (sacred places) in India. The eight places where Lord Vishnu manifested himself are (1) Sri Rangam (2) Srimushnam (3) Naimisam (4) Pushkaram (5) Salagamadri (6) Thothadri (7) Narayanasramam (8) Venkatadri. Thotadri is the present Mangalagiri. Lakshmi Devi has done tapas on this hill. That's why it got this name (The auspicious hill). There are three Narasimha Swamy temples in Mangalagiri. One is Panakala N

A water bearer in India had two large pots, each hung on each end of a pole which he carried across his neck. One of the pots had a crack in it, and while the other pot was perfect and always delivered a full portion of water at the end of the long walk from the stream to the master’s house, the cracked pot arrived only half full. For a full two years this went on daily with the bearer delivering only one and a half pots

Go to guru, to surrender. Surrender means that one will accept whatever the guru says. It is not that one thinks, "I do not care for my guru's order. Still I am a disciple." That is not actually accepting a guru. Just like Arjuna surrendered to Krishna. You must find out guru where you can surrender. Not that you keep guru your order supplier, "Give me some ashirvad and I may be benefited." He is not guru; he is your ord

Dharmaraja and Yudhisthira

Dharmaraja: What is the most difficult thing in the world?
Yudhisthira: To know when to stop.

D: How can one gain wisdom?
Y: By serving elders.

D: What makes one learned?
Y: The study of the srutis makes one learned.

D: How is it possible for a man always to have a second companion?
Y: Steady intelligence serves man as helpful companion always.

D: This intelligence you speak of, how is it to be acquired

So in human society the central point is Krsna, central point is Krsna. If we forget Krsna, this intelligent class of men, this administrative class of men, these productive class of men, the worker class of men, they're all useless. They're all useless. If by your intelligence you cannot find out with whom you are intimately related, then what is the value of your intelligence? That kind of intelligence a dog has also got. "Where is something to eat? Where is something to mate?" The dog has tha

Once a renounced spiritual master presented his neophyte disciple with a copy of the Bhagavad-gita, instructing him to study the book all the time. The disciple, eager to imitate the advanced status of his guru, entered a cave in the Vindhya hill and there he read the Gita day and night. Now, while the disciple took rest, a mouse who lived in the cave nibbled at the pages of the holy book, leaving the edges ragged. The d

Mankind known holy person, belonging, both to the west and to the eastern religious traditions. However, the holy Jayananda - one of a kind. He was born in the West and was the first servant of God, received the status of a saint in the Eastern spiritual continuity, namely, in the ancient tradition of bhakti, or devotion to Lord Krishna.

Without exception, all the saints as a magical philosopher's stone graces affect people's hearts, even when they leave this world. Jayananda Das (Jim Short) one

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.

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
