Whenever we are faced with any problem, we usually hear from our masters the single solution- “Just keep chanting.” I tried following this instruction and it absolutely didn’t work. One day, I got fed up with my fruitless chanting process and decided to jump from 1 round to directly 16 rounds. I was motivated. And with all enthusiasm, I started the rounds. At the end of 8 rounds, I felt great agony for Krsna and lost faith in Him. After the experience, I simply stopped chanting. Want to know wha

NEW DELHI – Is Bhagavad Gita an extremist literature? When the whole world sees this as a book of life, which is even taught in the American corporate circles, a Russian Court is planning to ban the book in the country terming it an extremist literature.
As the issues flared up, the Indian Parliament witnessed a heated session as the parliamentarians across the party lines demanded the government to take immediate steps to resolve the issue. Protesting the Siberian court’s decision to ban Bhagwa
So anyone who has got this desire that "I shall enjoy in this material world," he's a sinful man. That is sinful. Because suppose something your, something belongs to you, and if I desire, "How I shall take this, possession of this thing?" is not that criminal? Something belongs to somebody, and if you make a plan to possess that thing, is it not criminal? So actually, Krsna is the bhokta. Bhoktaram yajna-tapasam sarva-loka-mahesvaram [Bg. 5.29]. He is the proprietor, sarva-loka. Not a single pl

Having controlled the senses.We have to control these things, then the special favor will be there. (reading purport) "In the Bhagavad-gita the Lord says ‘All the Vedas are searching after Me.' Lord Sri Caitanya says that in the Vedas the subject matters are only three, namely to establish the relation of the living entities with the Personality of Godhead, perform the relative duties in devotional service, and thus achieve the ultimate goal, back to Godhead.

Devotee: Sometimes we have the idea that sadhu-sanga means anyone who is chanting Hare Krishna, performing devotional activities, and following the morning programs very strictly. We say that person is a sadhu. But then there is also a deeper definition of sadhu?
Srila Gour Govinda Maharaja: Sadhu means one who is a manifestation of svarupa-sakti. That is sadhu — one who has developed krsna-prema. The sadhu-mukhya-laksana, the chief symptom of a sadhu, is one who is completely surrendered. That s

There was a window of hope for Hungarian Krishna-believers and many other religious organizations when on the 19th of December, the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Hungary struck down the restrictive religious law. However, it all evaporated less than two days later.
The Hungarian Society for Krishna-Consciousness (ISKCON) was disappointed to find that the new version of the church law, filed with the Parliament on the 21st of December, contains no significant improvements compared to the

Srila Prabhupada continued to speak with Satsvarupa dasa Goswami and others about the program at St Paschal's.
"So, the priestly order this morning, they liked it very much."
Cittahari confirmed that they had. He made mention of a priest from another monastery who had attended the lecture and commented to the devotees how he felt that Srila Prabhupada had genuine respect for Jesus.
Prabhupada agreed. "Yes. We must have respect. Respectable person must be respected. This is Caitanya M
We can take them all During questions the seminarians were very respectful. They stood while questioning and addressed Srila Prabhupada as "Your Divine Grace". One priest asked: "How would His Grace see Jesus Christ?" Prabhupada's obvious veneration for Lord Jesus moved the audience. "Jesus Christ, Lord Jesus Christ ..a he is son of God, the best son of God. So we have all respect for Him. Yes. Anyone who is teaching people about God consciousness, he is respectable to us.

Young freelance film-maker William Kerr had been chanting Hare Krsna on and off for over a year and sometimes ate his lunch at the Hare Krsna shop at 299 Little Lonsdale Street. William had first met a devotee while working in the family camera shop in downtown Melbourne in 1972. The devotee, Amogha, had come to buy film. He told William about the first Ratha-yatra parade due to travel down Swanston Street in a few days time. Intrigued, William attended the parade. He loved it, and t
Prabhupada graphically described how the material world was a miserable place, replete with anxieties. From the big controllers, down to the insignificant ant, Prabhupada said, life was a struggle. "Even President Nixon, he is also full of anxieties: 'When shall I be dethroned? Let me take protection.' And the ant -- the ant is going, you stop it by your finger. He will struggle: 'Why you are stopping?'"
Why so much anxiety? The reason, Prabhupada pointed out
In the afternoon that Thursday, a few local devotees came to speak to Satsvarupa dasa Goswami about the current state of affairs existing between the two camps. Satsvarupa spoke, giving his perspective, after having travelled with Prabhupada from Hawaii to Japan, then to Hong Kong, where he had encountered almost identical problems. Although the rift between the "temple" devotees and the "outside" devotees appeared to some like a split, Satsvarupa hesitated to use the word.
He explained t
We have to be very organized It had been almost nine months since controversy had split ISKCON's ranks. Siddha Svarupa Goswami now lived in Hawaii with his own break-away group of devotees that included some from Australia and New Zealand. He preached to them, and to newcomers, that it was best not to live in the temple. He did not advocate that one follow the rules and regulations strictly, nor did he conduct any organised preaching activity -- only casual chanting of Hare Krsna. And he continu
