Whoever rises early in the morning and remembers Lord Krishna‘s victory in His battle with Lord Siva will never experience defeat.
Sukadeva Gosvami said: O descendant of Bharata, the relatives of Aniruddha, not seeing Him return, continued to lament as the four rainy months passed.
After hearing from Narada the news of Aniruddha‘s deeds and His capture, the Vrishnis, who worshiped Lord Krishna as their personal Deity, went to Sonitapura.
With Lord Balarama and Lord Krishna in the lead, the chiefs o

May the Supreme Personality of Godhead in His incarnation as Dhanvantari relieve me from undesirable eatables and protect me from physical illness.
May Lord Rsabhadeva, who conquered His inner and outer senses, protect me from fear produced by the duality of heat and cold.

Next month will be 9 years since we opened our Vrinda Kunda Temple! To celebrate we will do special parikramas to the Holy Places of Braja. The program will culminate with our famous Kalash Yatra, an ecstatic Sankirtan procession with the ladies carrying water pots with coconuts on their heads. Programs will be going on from 4-19 Feb with the main parikrama days between 8 and 19.
All the festival dates are early this year when the weather is best and the Vrindavan Festival after Gaura Purnima is
The Krsna Consciousness devotees, unlike the standard materialists, are not hypocrites. They genuinely want to follow what they preach.

How To Satisfy Krishna
(Compiled from notes on lectures of H. H. Mahavishnu Goswami)
Today I was listening to a Bhagavatam class given by H.H. Mahavishnu Goswami Maharaja in Shree Shree Radha NeelMadhava dhama on 9 Dec 2008.
While speaking to a grihastha devotee, Maharaja said, "Ashram doesn't matter really, whatever ashram we are, we have to remember Krishna's words.”

Introduction
Nonviolence in politics may be a diplomacy, but it is never a factor or principle.
In the religious law books it is stated:

Why did Lord Shiva preach Mayavada?
In Kali yuga, about a thousand years ago, Lord Shiva appeared as Shankaracharya and preached the monistic philosophy all over India. This philosophy, also known as Mayavada. says that the form, qualities, attributes of the Supreme Lord are all maya (illusion); the Absolute Truth, in the ultimate analysis, is formless and impersonal; the living entity and the Lord are equal in all respects or, in other words, we are all God. A question naturally arises, "Why d

Listening and chanting of Sri Hayagriva Ashtottara Satanama stotram bestows knowledge,peace and bliss. Lord Hayagriva, in Hinduism, is considered a minor incarnation of Vishnu; an avatar associated with wisdom and knowledge.
At the request of Brahma, Hayagriva rescued the Vedas stolen by two demons from the bottom of the primeval ocean. Depicted in human form, he has a head of a horse and eight hands. His attributes are the book (Veda), horse’s mane, and rosary plus the attributes of Vishnu.
Purification of Existence
(Compiled from notes on lectures of H. H. Mahavishnu Goswami)
Normally when we walk on the roads in India we step on so many contaminations in the street and therefore we come home and wash our body and legs for purification to avoid contamination in our external body. Cleaning process is a must or otherwise we will become diseased. We do it naturally because we know that we are contaminated with so many germs and bacteria which will affect o
"Not a grass moves without the sanction of God." So without sanction of God, we cannot do anything. You may say that when we do something bad, why God gives us sanction? God does not give us sanction, but we force Him to give us sanction. Therefore He gives us sanction. Otherwise, He does not give sanction. But because we want to do it persistently, so God gives us sanction: "All right. You can do it. And you have to enjoy or suffer the result." Therefore in the Bhagavad-gita, the last instructi

Market vendors and passengers at the Suva bus station took advantage of free lunches yesterday provided by the Hare Krishna movement.
The members of the Hare Krishna faith distributed 1000 serves of food to passers-by.
There were no restrictions on the number of serves they could take so some were seen with more than one takeaway pack of vegetarian curry and rice. Hare Krishna devotee Manoj Kumar said the distribution of food marked their last day on a pilgrimage.

With a new year rolling in, many may be wondering what will happen with the damaged economy, the upcoming U.S. elections, and people’s likeliness to transcend all this and turn to spirituality. Then again, the world might end on December 21st, if we’re to believe some interpretations of the Mayan Calendar.
We asked three prominent Vedic Astrologers to shed some light on all this: Hamsa-Avatar Dasa, who runs the Vedic Cultural Fellowship organization in Ocala, Florida; Nalini-Kanta Dasa, author
