Lord Krsna has a promise from before to reciprocate with His devotees according to the way they worship Him.

Adi 4.177

As all surrender unto Me, I reward them accordingly. Everyone follows My path in all respects, O son of Prtha.

A Few Memories of Yamuna Devi Dasi by Kalakantha Prabhu

Posted by shanti yadav on December 28, 2011 at 11:30am

Srila Acharyadeva asked us to post this here. It's a beautiful testimony to HG Yamuna Devi by Kalakantha Prabhu, enjoy! A Few Memories of Yamuna Devi

My wife Jitamitra and I became close to Yamuna and Dinatarine Prabhus over the last five years. We run a fairly intense college outreach program. Some years ago, looking for a place to get away during the summer breaks, we decided to spend some time in Saranagati, as we had lived and served in Vancouver temple years ago and had many friends there.

Yamuna-devi and Srila Prabhupada–Vani and Vapuh

Posted by shanti yadav on December 28, 2011 at 11:00am

In 1971 Srila Prabhupada went to Allahabad for the Ardha-kumbha-mela, and Yamuna-devi and I were in the party that accompanied him. Srila Prabhupada spoke on the story of Ajamila and the holy name, from the Sixth Canto of Srimad-Bhagavatam. Only the first two cantos had been translated and published, so Prabhupada read from his Sanskrit Bhagavatam with commentaries, sometimes translating from Sridhara Svami’s and occasionally from Jiva Gosvami’s. While there, I heard that Srila Prabhupada had sa

Her Grace Yamuna Devi

Posted by shanti yadav on December 28, 2011 at 11:00am

With great sadness, the Governing Body Commission (GBC) of ISKCON, deeply mourn the departure of Her Grace Yamuna Devi. She dedicated the last 45 years of her life to the worship of Krishna and Srila Prabhupada. She was a mentor, guide, and friend to many and a beloved member and hero of ISKCON. At every ISKCON temple, her singing of "Govindam" greets the Lord.

Yamuna Devi was one of the most influential devotees during ISKCON's fledgling years. She was among a handful of people who established

Posted by shanti yadav on December 28, 2011 at 10:30am

Tomorrow at 12:30 hours IST, Tomsk court, Russia, is due to pass its verdict on banning the Bhagavad Gita. An "anti-cult" group affiliated to the Russian Orthodox Church, has called for a ban on the Gita terming it an 'extremist' text. And the verdict can have far reaching repercussions - either way.

An expert panel was constituted to examine if the text incites religious hatred and humiliation.

"Banning the Gita as an extremist piece of literature would mean banning the Russian chapter of the Int

"Message of Love - Will You Ban?"

Posted by shanti yadav on December 28, 2011 at 10:29am

In the backdrop of the present sad controversy over the banning of the Bhagavad-gita in Russia, we present Lord Krishna’s side of the story. His take on the controversy is presented as a song based on poetic translations of four important Gita verses that express its message of love. The song comprises a chorus English verse and English renditions of those four verses followed by their Sanskrit originals.

My message of love,
Will you ban,

All beings are my children beloved, the seed of life, I give

This is the goal that every vaisnava should have somehow or the other, I may become Krsna Conscious in a manner that my desire is only to save the other living entities even if it means that I have to undergo personal inconveniences.(Srimad Bhagavatam 4.18.7).

We are reading from the Bhagavatam, canto 3, chapter 9 and text no 37. Translation and purport by Srila Prabhupada. Srila Prabhupada ki jay!
“When you were contemplating whether there was a source to stem of the lotus of your birth and you even entered into that stem. You could not trace out anything. But at that time I manifested my form from within.” This is Sri Bhagavan Uvaca. Lord speaking unto Brahma.

“Just Keep Chanting”… But How?

Posted by Krsna's servant on December 27, 2011 at 10:08am

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

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.
