In Srimad Bhagavatam verse 1.8.40, Kunti Maharani prays to Krishna as follows

vanaadri-nady- udanvanto / hy edhante tava veekshitaih

"All these cities and villages are flourishing in all respects because the herbs and grains

Hawaii, March 27, 1969

Spoken by His Divine Grace
Srila A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada


ramadi murtishu kala-niyamena tishthan
nanavataram akarod bhuvaneshu kintu
krishnah svayam samabhavat paramah puman yo
govindam adi-purusham tam aham bhajami
[Bs. 5.39]

This is a verse from Brahma-samhita in which the incarnation of Lord Ramacandra is described. Ramadi. Not only Rama, but there are many other, innumerable incarnations. They are compared

Life is the combination of five,

sky, earth, air,water, and fire,

God lended me these for coming to earth,

make a reach to everyone's heart.

I learned to be as vast as sky,

as fluent as air, as booming as fire,

continuous as flowing water,retaining great heart as earth,

to get hold on my worldly desire.

I lived my life ,to the death i arrived,

My lord asked me about his gratitudes and regard of life .

He questned me about his gift,

the gifts he lended me to be live.

I told him o lord,

I gave back your things

Hare Krishna,

According to Narad Puran And as Subjected is Garud Puran Bhaimi is one of the Sahastra Naam of Srimati Radha rani

To love Krsna means you have no more material desire. The percentage you are
lacking Krsna love, the percentage material desires are there. Ye yatha mam
prapadyante [Bg. 4.11]. If you love Krsna ten percent, then ninety percent
material desire. And if you love Krsna ninety percent, ten percent material
desire. And if you love Krsna cent percent there is no material desire. This
is the way. So if you love Krsna twenty-four hours, cent percent, simply

T\here is every chance of failure on the yogic path; even a great sage
like Visvamitra Muni can fall down due to material allurement. Although the
muni fell for the time being, he again resolved to go on with the yoga
process, and this should be our resolve. Krsna informs us that such failures
should not be cause for despair. There is the famous proverb that “failure
is the pillar of success.” In the spiritual life especially, failure is not

The origin of lust is in the Supreme. If, therefore, lust is transformed into love for the Supreme, or transformed into Krsna consciousness — or, in other words, desiring everything for Krsna — then both lust and wrath can be spiritualized. Hanuman, the great servitor of Lord Rama, exhibited his wrath by burning the golden city of Ravana, but by doing so he became the greatest devotee of the Lord. Here also, in Bhagavad-gita, the Lord induces Arjuna

Twenty eight devotees from the Santiago Yatra along with 250 books of Srila Prabhupada, made their way to one of the most famous prisons in Chile called "Santiago 1".

There, they faced an endless ocean of grim, impenetrable seriousness and an attitude of distrust which reeked from the defendants, many who had been charged with serious crimes. A brief talk and explanation of the Maha-mantra helped break the ice and the devotees began to sing. Several minutes later, the inmates joined in and began

The difference between a pious man and a criminal is that one is pure in heart and the other is dirty. This dirt is like a disease in the form of uncontrollable lust and greed in the heart of the criminal. When the people become purified of these dirty things, crime will disappear. The simplest process of purification is to assemble in congregation and chant the holy names of God. This is called sankirtana and is the ba

This is perfect conclusion, that "I shall execute the desire of Krsna." "But Krsna is not physically present before me. Then how I shall know what Krsna desires?" That is not very difficult. Krsna's representative is there, the spiritual master. If you fulfill the desire of the spiritual master, then you fulfill the desire of Krsna. Yasya prasadad bhagavat-prasadah **. That is stated by Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura. If you please your spiritual master, then you know that "I have pleased Krsna."

So real sanity is to understand that this body belongs to Krsna. We are misunderstanding that this body belongs to my father, mother, or my master or to the cats and dogs or the vultures, in so many ways. That is material. Materially, we can understand that. But spiritually, this body belongs to Krsna because the body is made of, I mean to say, prepared by the eight elements. We have got the five elements, bhumir apo 'nalo vayuh. There is earth, water, air, fire, and the mind and the intelligenc

Here are some of the top reasons:

Other people do not know how to criticize properly.  Most people criticize in such a way that makes us very emotional. However, we know that we cannot control how other people express themselves, but we can control how we internally respond to their criticism. 

We often take it too personally.  We must remember that it is our actions or performance that is really being criticized and not

(1) offences towards Sri Krsna – Naama Apradha

(2) offences towards krsna-nama – Seva Apradha

(3) offences towards krsna-svarupa (the deity form of the Lord) – Vaisnava Apradah

(4) offences towards the jivas (living entities who are infinitesimal particles of spirit belonging to the Lord) – Tattva Brahman

Srila Visvanath Cakravarti Thakura explains that there are four types

The Garbageman Gets the Mercy

At around 6:20 a.m. I was doing the morning reception service at the Radha-Krishna temple in London when a huge garbage truck stopped outside. I didn't pay much attention, being absorbed in my own business.

Then the garbageman knocked on the door and, smiling cheerfully, asked for a vegetarian book that he saw on display in the window. He wore dirty clothes and had a little wallet with holes.

He rejected "Higher Taste," saying he needed a big vegetarian cookboo

Preaching means he must be conscious, Krsna conscious, advanced. Krsna conscious means that he's a lover of Krsna.

He'll see four things: isvara, the Supreme Personality of Godhead; he'll see the devotees of Krsna; he'll see some ignorant person; and he'll see some envious person. That you will have to meet.
