We are not proprietor of this body. We are occupier. Just like a rented house: the proprietor and the tenant are different. So I am the spirit soul. I am not proprietor; I am simply occupier. The proprietor is the Supreme Personality of Godhead. He is giving me a particular apartment according to my capacity of paying rent. According to our karma or work, we get a body, either as a king's son, a cobbler's son, a dog's

The picture captures a poignant moment of truth. The two persons are holding a lump of matter which once was thought to be Nitai Das. Any sane individual has to admit Nitai Das at the end of the day cannot be that what is shown in that picture- lump of ash? Unfortunately, modern science has convinced every one that ultimately we are that matter!

The picture was taken in Mayapur this month. The two individuals are holding the final remains of Nitai Das who died in a car accident this month in F

WHAT PRICE DOES

BEAUTY PAY?

The skin is made up of layers of fat and dead cells, and harmful chemicals from cosmetics that we use can enter into our body through the skin.

See the good thing cosmetics can do to your skin.

Cosmetics on our wrinkly skin can smoothen the rough edges, moisturize the skin and make it more supple.

Well, what do you think? But don't be relieved, for cosmetics can do other things to your skin.

Most beauty produ

Transcendental Pearls of Wisdom

(Compiled from notes on lectures of H. H. Mahavishnu Goswami)

Notes from the instructions given by our most merciful spiritual master, His Holiness Mahavishnu Goswami Maharaja, at an evening program in London, June 7, 2008.

REAL-IZATION VS CONCOCTION
We are all here by Srila Prabhupada's mercy only. Unless we follow seriously we cannot pass it on. What we often forget is this world is 1) temporary and 2

When it comes to stress, illness and wellness, it is important to remember that what goes on in your mind is reflected in your body.

People who continually worry and get stressed about their problems tend to develop tense muscles, become tired easily or get headaches. When their mind is stressed, their body becomes stressed too.

Dwelling on your mistakes and over-analyzing what could go wrong or what you could have done

Question to Radhanath Swami :How can one be happy regardless of external situations?

Radhanath Swami narrates from the Vedic Text, Srimad Bhagavatam

...Part 2

What can we learn from the sun? (Radhanath Swami continues)

The Avadhut learnt the same spirit of selfless service from the sun. The sun evaporates water, and what does it do with the water? It creates rain and gives the water back to the earth. Sea water is useless for many of our purposes. The sun will evaporate that sea water and make it in

Question to Radhanath Swami :How can one be happy regardless of external situations?

Radhanath Swami narrates from the Vedic Text, Srimad Bhagavatam

The Srimad Bhagavatam speaks of a great king named Yadu. Once when he was travelling through a forest he saw an Avdhut, a person who apparently was a social outcaste. He was laying in the forest like a python. From a material and from a social consideration, he was a failure. But Yadu, being a religious man, could see the person was bright faced and h

So if we become Krsna conscious, there cannot be any darkness. There cannot be any ignorance. There cannot be any sinful life. Everything bright, everything peaceful. Therefore we must take to Krsna consciousness if we want to save from the clutches of maya.

Appointment with Krishna 12/12

(Compiled from notes on lectures of H. H. Mahavishnu Goswami)

During his recent visit to Abu Dhabi, our beloved Guru Maharaja gave a very enlightening and practical explanation on the following verse from Srimad Bhagavatam 8.3.1:

sri-baadaraayanir uvaaca
evam vyavasito buddhyaa
samaadhaaya mano hrdi
jajaapa paramam jaapyam
praag-janmany anusiksitam

"Thereafter, the King of the elephants, Gajendra, fixed his min

Lecture on SB 6.2.9-10 -- Allahabad, January 15, 1971:

Prabhupāda: ...of Brahman. You are also Brahman. So your manifestation and Lord Śiva's manifestation is not the same. So there are different grades of manifestation. We have to know that. Although the thing is one but there are different manifestation, not that because everything is one, that everyone is the same. No. Hare Kṛṣṇa.

Haṁsadūta: Hare Kṛṣṇa. Prabhupāda just gave a wonderful example which I will repeat. He said that everything is one

The nature is so kind that in whichever way you want to enjoy this material world, she will give you a suitable body under the direction of the Lord. Because Lord is situated everyone's heart. So He knows everything, that you still want something material. He will give you. "Yes, you take it." Krsna wants that you get full experience that by material gain, you'll never be happy. This is Krsna's business. It's full freedom. Although we have got minute quantity of freedom, because we are part and

(Compiled from notes on lectures of H. H. Mahavishnu Goswami)

We are always wondering as to why we are not making any progress in our spiritual life and we are expert at blaming so many things and people around us for all the impediments we face in devotional service. Maharaja completely thrashed this idea and made us understand that our devotional service is not advancing because we do not have Bhakti as our

So this is the lack of knowledge at the present moment. We do not take instruction from the jagad-guru, Krsna, and still, we are M.A., Ph.D., "Doctor Frog." So this will not help. This will not help. He must know that this maya... Just like a police. Police business is to give trouble to the criminal so that he can understand that "Government is most powerful. I cannot violate the rules and regulations of the government." This is police business. If you follow, if you obey the government's rules

Appointment with Krishna 10/12

(Compiled from notes on lectures of H. H. Mahavishnu Goswami)

Srila Prabhupada writes in CC Madhya Lila 20.117 that we have forgotten our relationship with the Lord from time immemorial ("anaadi bahir mukha") because of the influence of material nature for so many years and it is really very difficult to revive our eternal relationship with Him. But this revival is easily possible just by keeping in touch wit
