said that when a devotee wakes up in the morning he should beat his mind with a
shoe a hundred times. Since the mind tends to be very puffed up, it must be
beaten to keep it in the proper humble state. In the evening the mind should
be beaten with a broomstick another hundred times. The mind is like a wild
animal captured from the jungle, it is never fully dependable. If it gets the
chance it will run off into the jungle again. Similarly, if the mind is not
kept on a t
Quality Chanting of the Name
Devotee (8): When chanting our sixteen rounds, we are not sure if
these rounds are sincere...
Prabhupada: You should be sure.
Devotee (8): How can we be sure?
Prabhupada: There is beads.
Brahmananda: No, he's saying that when we chant our rounds, how can we
be sure that when we chant the round that the round is a perfect,
attentive round, sincere?
Prabhupada: Therefore it is sastra, "You must." There is no question
of understanding.
Brahmananda: The quality of the chanting he's

There was a king of the kuru dynasty named Suhotra who once went to
visit some great rishis. While returning home, he happened to meet
another king named Shibi, traveling on the road in the opposite
direction. The road was too narrow for both chariots to pass and
becuase they were both equals in terms of age and other
qualifications, neither Shibi nor Suhotra would move.
Narada Muni then appeared on the scene and asked what was the matter?
Suhotra and Shibi replied, "Devarshi it is proper ettiquette th
MANY ARE CHANTING BUT HOW MANY ARE HEARING?
When we are chanting our surrender is simply to hear because our mind
will have many objects about what to contemplate on. The mind has so
many attachments, desires, fears and aspirations. It is a great
priority that we make a offering of our heart by concentrating and
hearing the Holy Name. This is how we can worship Krishna in the
temple of our heart. It is an offering of love.
There’s a story of a devotee in Jagannath Puri who was constantly
chanting Hare K
A krsna-bhakta, a devotee of Lord Krsna, he doesn't want anything
more. He doesn't want anything more. You will never find that...
Arjuna was a devotee. He was working for Krsna so much, he was
sacrificing everything. He was prepared to kill his family members and
everything. Still, he never wanted anything, "Krsna, give me this."
Never. You will never find in the Bhagavad-gita.
This is the position of bhakta. And that is the teaching of Lord
Caitanya Mahaprabhu. Caitanya Mahaprabhu said, na dhanam na
Being Immortal
Matter changes in six phases: birth, growth, maintenance, production of by-products, dwindling, and death. But the life within matter, the spirit soul, is eternal; it goes through no such changes. Life appears to be developing and decaying, but actually it is simply passing through each of these six phases until the material body can no longer be maintained. Then the old body dies, and the soul enters a new body. When our clothing is old and worn, we change it. Similarly, one day o

What happened to Srimati Radharani after Krishna left Vrindavan? |

Answer: Intolerable Devastation and an Exponential Explosion of Transcendental Bliss |

Externally Srimati Radharani was plunged into an ocean of intolerable, devastating grief worse that death. But internally the sweetness and the ecstasy of her loving relationship with her most beloved Lord Sri Krishna was amplified exponentially. This means that the ecs |
Sri Uddhava’s actual life is the direct symbol of the catuh-sloki Bhagavatam enunciated first to Brahmaji by the Personality of Godhead[SB 2.9.33/34/35/36]. These four very great and important verses from Srimad-Bhagavatam are particularly taken out by the Mayavadi speculators, who construe a different purport to suit their impersonal view of monism.
