Cultivating the Fabric of Devotion

We were really fortunate to have the invaluable association of our beloved Guru Maharaj in Chennai from 12.02.2003 to 16.02.2003. Maharaj flooded the parched land of Madras with his nectarean Krsna katha. With His blessings, I shall share with you the nectarean instructions as far as my intelligence allows.

Maharaj was telling that wherever there is Krsna-katha or Krsna Kirtan, Krsna is personally p

Hare Krishna!!! Everybody say Hare Krishna.Thank You. Thank you also for joining us once again. As we continue to narrate the pastimes of Guaranga, pastimes in connection with his visit to Vrindavan.

Yesterday! Was that yesterday?? Ok. Yes, it was yesterday. We did talk of how soon after taking sanayasa, first place he wanted to go to was Vrindavan.

“Where is Vrindavan??? Where is Vrindavan??? And as he inquired, he was misdirected. Even Supreme Lord could be misdirected, this w

Verse: Srimad Bhagavatam 10.16.39-40, 10.16.44-45.

These Nagpatnis are praying:-

“Namas tubhyam bhagavate purushaya mahatmane bhutavasaya bhutaya paraya paramatmane

Gyan-vigyan-nidhaye brahmane ananta-shaktaye agunayavikaraya namaste prakritaya cha

Like that they keep praying beautiful meaningful prayers, appropriate, befitting p

Krishna lifted Govardhan hill for seven days and seven nights, this is very very pleasing pastime to the residents of Vrindavan because this is one time, that they had opportunity to be with Krishna day and night, for seven days and seven nights. This is very rare. Normally, only for few hours, you get to be with Krishna and Krishna gets up and He is with his parents, Nanda, Yashoda and Rohini, only for few hours. He gets up, bathing, dressing and breakfast and He goes and then He is with the co

Practical Tips to Avoid Adhyatmic Miseries

The following are some of the points from the pravachan of Maharaj regarding the remedy for our adhyatmic miseries:

Adhyatmic miseries are those miseries arising out of the body and mind particularly. Some diseases which come during the young age are clear and they are curable. But some of the limitations which come during the old age can never be cured. These diseases come to take us away. I

In Kali-yuga (the present age), materialism is rampant, knowing no bounds. The mind is flickering, restless, untamed, sick and perverse. A restless mind cannot meditate; an untamed mind is incapable of the performance of sacrifices and a sick, perverted mind is unfit for puja and worship. A diseased person cannot serve properly. Therefore, in the Kali-yuga, the only panacea for material misery is nama-sankirtana, the chanting of the Holy Names of Sri Hari. This is the medicine that Sri Bhagavan

So I, as spirit soul, I am individual, existing. I shall continue to exist as individual in this material world either as human being or as an animal or as demigod, or a tree, plants, fish, aquatics -- so many. Jalaja nava-laksani sthavara laksa-vimsati. So this is going on. This is material world. And if you go to the spiritual world, yad gatva na nivartante tad dhama paramam mama [Bg. 15.6]. The difference... What is the difference between the spiritual world and the material world? The differ

Plan-Making For More Suffering

Srila Prabhupada is showing us how the material intelligence is misused for more and more suffering in his lecture on 12/17/76 in Hyderabad on Bhagavad-gita 3.25:

There are two classes of men: vidvan - learned, and the fools - not learned, known as the fool. Human being, they are, of course, very intelligent

Punching Purports by Srila Prabhupada

This tie of affection in terms of material relation is the relation of maya because the relations of the body or the mind are due to the influence of the external energy. Relations of the soul, established in relation with the Supreme Soul, are factual relations. When Kuntidevi wanted to cut off the family relation, she meant to cut off the relation of the skin. The skin relation is the cause of mate

Temple Room Etiquette

Temple room etiquette is described in detail by Srila Prabhupada in his Nectar of Devotion.

Other Quotes from Srila Prabhupada

Another thing I request is that everything in the Temple should be kept nice and clean. Everyone should wash hands before touching anything of Krsna's. We should always remember that Krsna is the purest and similarly only the purest can associate with Him. Cleanliness is next to Godliness.
