CROW & PIGEON: Be Satisfied

"Once there was a crow that lived near a farm-house. The owner of the farm had kept some pigeons and he fed them with grains regularly. The crow looked at the pigeons and envied them everyday. Deciding to share the feed, the crow painted his body like that of pigeons and joined the pigeons as one of them. Thus, he was able to enjoy the feed daily. The pigeons never suspected anything foul. But one day, after the feed, the crow couldn't control himself and started cryin

Topic : Hope Is there any hope of Krishna’s loving protection for a falling down devotee ?

My dear Uddhava, if My devotee has not fully conquered his senses, he may be harassed by material desires, but because of his unflinching devotion for Me (Lord Krishna), he will not be defeated by sense gratification. …But even though one’s senses are not fully conquered, one who has unflinching devotion for Lord Krishna does not run the risk of being separated from Him. The words Pragalbhaya bhaktya indi

…the hundreds and thousands of stars and the great planets such as the sun, the moon, Venus, Mercury, Mars and Jupiter are not clustered together because of the law of gravity or any similar idea of the modern scientists. These planets and stars are all servants of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Govinda or Krsna, and according to His order they sit in their chariots and travel in their respective orbits. The orbits in which they move are compa

Lord Krsna said to King Yudhisthira, “My devotee is not deterred by any
adverse conditions of life; he always remains firm and steady. Therefore I
give Myself to him, and I favor him so that he can achieve the highest
success of life.” The mercy bestowed upon the tried devotee by the Supreme
Personality is described as brahma, which indicates that the greatness of
that mercy can be compared only to the all-pervasive greatness. Brahma means

You have asked how you can thank me. Whether you thank me or not, if you
understand the importance of this Krishna Consciousness Movement, that is my
success. The whole world is thinking in the bodily conception of life and
thus remaining like animals. The animals cannot be happy but people want to
keep themselves like animals. For peace they are barking in the United
Nations. Croaking toads who think they are making a big conference, and then

Candana yatra

Candana yatra starts on the third lunar day of the waxing moon of Vaisakha
month, and continues for twenty days. Lord Jagannatha gave direct
instructions to King Indradyumna to perform this festival at this time.
Smearing the body of the Lord with ointments is an act of devotion, and the
best of ointments is sandalwood paste. Since the month of Vaisakha is very
hot in India, the cooling effect of the sandalwood i

SRI SANKARACARYA

In order to establish his doctrine of non-violence, Lord Buddha flatly refused to believe in the Vedas, and thus, later on, Sri Sankaracarya stopped this system of religion in India and forced it to go outside India.

Sri Sankaracarya wanted to establish the predominance of one's spiritual identity; therefore he wanted to convert the atheists through an imaginary interpretation of the Vedic literatures. These are the secrets of the acaryas. Sometimes they conceal the real purpo

By Krishna-kumara Dasa I’m out traveling again, and yesterday our party visited the University of Santa Barbara in California. After a full day of sankirtan, it was time to go back to the van. So, praying to do something to please my spiritual master and Krsna, I decided to try to distribute one more book. As I passed by a young couple, I didn’t even seriously approach them because they appeared to be stereotypical athlete-cheerleader people. At this point I was just hunting for an obvious sweet

Bhakta Ram has become very keen for any opportunity to distribute books, and so he joins me on weekend book distribution excursions.

On the first weekend of March Bhakta Ram and I rode by car about four hours to the shore of Lake Malawi, to a town called Mangochi, the main holiday-resort town in this country. Bhakta Ram took one of his com

This letter was sent to Shastra krt das, a book distributor in Los Angeles.

Dear Shastra,

Thank you so much for your dedication in distributing books to many college campuses!

I am not sure if you remember me because you encounter many students when handing out books, but we met at Citrus College and you gave me a copy of the Bhagvad Gita (last October or November, 2011). This book is one of the most precious in my life. It gives me motivation during difficult times and keeps me

A person without wearing a tulsi Kanthi offering even water, that waters is considered as Alchol :( Sad, people do not care about our old Vedic Practise. Tusli Kanti should always be worn by everybody.

Scientifically - Astma can be cured just by wearing a kanthi, it helps us purify polluted air while inhaling.

Even if a sinner wears a tulsi Kanthi Yamraja orders Chitraketu to tear the page from his book of good/bad deeds

So Krsna is so nice friend. He is such a nice friend that even to the enemy He gives the greatest benediction. Just like Putana. Putana came to kill Krsna, smearing poison on her breast. But Krsna gave her promotion on the motherly platform. Krsna is so grateful that "This demon might have come to Me to poison Me, but I have sucked her breast. She has become My mother. Therefore she must get the position of My mother." Krsna is so grateful. If you give little service to Krsna sincerely, Krsna wi

In the supplementary Vedic literature, there is the following list of thirty-two offenses in the matter of serving the Lord:--

(1) One should not enter the temple of the Deity in a car or palanquin or with shoes on the feet.

(2) Oneshould not fail to observe the various festivals for the pleasure of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, such as Janmastami and Ratha-yatra.

(3) One should not avoid bowing down before the Deity
