Krsna… such a beautiful transcendental word! It has so many meanings hidden in it, so many layers, and so many forms.

Once we know about Krsna, it is difficult to not think of His glories. He astonishes us with His power. He surprises us with His leelas. He loves us with His heart. And he takes care of us with His mercy. Oh, this language has such a dearth of words… words that can accurately describe Him and the love that we share with Him. (I wonder if there is a transcendental language that can

Whoever carefully recites the mysterious appearances of the Lord with devotion in the morning and in the evening gets relief from all miseries of life.

Maharaja reads the purport, “

Born in a little village of Maharashtra called, Aravade, Lokanath Swami Maharaj went on to become one of the most powerful bonafide gurus of ISKCON. Little did anyone know from his village that the spiritual words uttering from the divine mouth of Lokanatha Swami, would be the source of inspiration for hundreds and thousands on the path of spiritualism. His fate was sealed when he took his first initiation in the year 1972 from Srila Prabhupada. And from then on, he took up his Padayatra mission

As a spiritual guru of ISKCON, Lokanath Maharaj has been associated with Krishna Consciousness from 1972.  That was the year when he got his first initiation from Srila Prabhupada and so began his voyage on this spiritual path to become a bonafide guru of ISKCON.

In this journey, he has created many landmarks. He started as an ISKCON minister for the Srila Prabhupada Centennial. His Holiness co-ordinated a global campaign and in the year 1996, the magnificent Centennial celebrations achieved unm

The nine principal rsis, or sages, are:

Marici - wife Kala
Atri -  wife Anasuya
Angira - wife Sraddha
Pulastya -  wife Havirbhu
Pulaha - wife Gati
Kratu -  wife Kriya
Bhrgu - wife Khyati
Vasistha - wife Arundhati
Atharva -  wife Santi

All these rishis are most important, and Brahma desired that the nine daughters already born of Kardama Muni be handed over to them. Here two words are used very significantly-yatha-silam and yatha-ruci. The daughters should be handed over to the respective rsis, not blindly

When ones mind is attached to Krsna, one can fulfill the mission of life in one human birth. If one misses this opportunity, one does not know where he is going, how long he will remain in the cycle of birth and death, and when he will achieve the human form of life and the chance to return home, back to Godhead. The most intelligent person, therefore, uses every moment of his life to render loving service to the Lord.(Srimad-Bhagavatam 9.9.42, Purport).

By H.D.G. Srila Prabhupada

the beginning there was only Lord Brahma. The whole planetary system was to be populated. Therefore first of all Brahma, and then the seven rsis, then the Kumaras, then Rudras. In this way... Manus. Then Manu's son, his son, his son. In this way the whole universe is populated. It is not the rascal Darwin's theory that "There was no human being. It came out of a stone, the life." The first is the most intelligent person, Lord Brahma.
