After this killing Aristasura pastime took place which is described here as

“krsnenadbhuta-karmana” (S.B 10.36.16)

This is wonderful pastime of Lord killing this Aristasura demon.

“kamsayathaaha bhagavan narada deva-darsanah” (S.B 10.36.16)

 After killing Aristasura Narada muni comes to Mathura playing his Veena

“Naradmuni bajaye veena radhikaraman namane”

 Narada muni veena, veena Narada muni, so when he comes to Vrindhavan Narada muni is because veena he plays everywhere and he sings glories of Rad

Vedic instruction is He is also a person. God is also a person. Just like we see Krsna. Krsna is person; we are also person. The difference is this person is worshiped, and we are worshiper. That is the difference. Otherwise, He's person, we are person. But the one person... Just like king. King is also person, and the citizens are also person. The president is also person, and the citizens are also person. But what is the difference? The difference is the president or the king or the spiritual

"Our philosophy is that you produce your food anywhere you stay, and keep cows, take milk, produce vegetables, food grains, and chant Hare Krsna. That's all. This is our philosophy. Make your life successful. By becoming Krsna conscious, you become free from al these troubles of material condition. This is our education." Srila Prabhupada, Conversations, May 25, 1974

Under the influence of few atheists, Maharashtra Government is planning to pass the proposed anti-superstitions Act; which is actually aimed at trampling Hindu faiths, during the present budgetary session of 2012. Ban will be imposed on your performing regular ritualistic worship, following observances, religious ceremonies, 'keertans', discourses etc. if the said Act is passed. Under the Act, ban can be imposed even on 'Haripath', recitation of 'strotras', Srimat Bhagavatgeeta and 'Vedas' etc.

Dear Krsna ,

     My heart sings this night like a sweet nightengale.  I cannot say I really understand why you love me.   Yet tonight unlike any other I do .   I just want to tell you how very grateful I am to you for today and all my yesterdays.

     From the beginning of this lifetime there seemed to be a dark cloud hanging over me.   And , for all intents and purposes I should have been dead long ago.   For a long time i was hurt and angry about all the "bad" I had been through.   But , tonig

So the Krsna consciousness movement means to practice in this life how to enter Krsna's family. You enter Krsna's family as you like. There are five rasas: santa-rasa, dasya-rasa, sakhya-rasa, vatsalya-rasa, and madhurya-rasa. That is reflected in this world also, the same. Tejo-vari-mrdam vinimayah. This..., this material world is reflection of the spiritual world. Chayeva yasya bhuvanani bibharti durga [Bs. 5.44]. Here there are rasas, santa-rasa, dasya-rasa. Here also there is master and serv

Bgagavan Krishna says in Gita   "The Supreme God  is situated in the heart of all living beings and by His `maya'  (illusionary energy)  is causing them to work out their `karma' , as if they are mounted on a machine. Seek refuge in the Supreme God alone with loving devotion. By His grace you shall attain supreme peace and the eternal abode."

So Krsna consciousness is so nice. You try to execute it to your best capacity, that's all. Even there is some mistake... Don't commit mistake intentionally. But due to my habit, past habit, I may commit some mistake. That is excused. If we fix up our mind is serving Krsna severely and seriously, then even there is some mistake... Rupa Gosvami also says that yena tena prakarena manah krsne... First of all fix up your mind to Krsna. And the other rules and regulation... Of course, they are to be

Since the next day I would return to Johannesburg from Dar es Salaa, which is on the east coast of Africa, I decided to take a walk along the beach. I told the taxi driver where I wanted to go, and he said he knew where it was and would take me there. But after he dropped me off and I had walked for some time, I realized I was far from where I had intended to be. But it was hot and I wasn't prepared to find another taxi. So I just kept walking. Soon I approached the ferryboat terminal, where h

Nowadays almost everyone is accessible on email. What about God? He is available on a very special type of email, which is as old as the human race and which requires no internet. Its knee-mail – mailing prayers from our heart to God while standing on our knees. Almost all the great wisdom traditions of the world urge us to physically express humility while praying. In addition to the kneeling down common in Semitic religions, the Vedic culture recommends prostrating the entire body in panchanga
