actually the biggest issue with this material world is that people think that when we die, the soul will face the consequences, what will the body face as its already dead. so commit sins and get away, but these fool hardy do not know that lord sri krishna has already said that its my maya that you for get your past than definitely it will be his maya which will show us what sins we have committed when time comes. so its still time sri krishna is showing us the path every time, so without any do

Kitchen cleaning

The temple cooks received grave news that night. "Prabhupada," said Bali-mardana Swami, "will not go ahead with the Deity installation tomorrow unless the kitchen is thoroughly cleaned". The devotees rallied, and prepared for an all-night cleaning marathon.

But the Deity installation was still in doubt. Bali-mardana had also informed Prabhupada that there were insufficient brahmanas available. Without a qualified crew of pujaris, or priests, the more demanding Deity worship could

Why Our Wishes Are Not Granted?

Question: Why Our Wishes Are Not  Granted?


Gurudeva,

Namaste.

I am a reader of your "Thought for the Day" emails daily. My questions are:
 
1. While we are in this material body why don't we get our wishes granted by Krishna?

2. Can't we simply use our free will to get back our original spiritual body without having to undergo any kind of training?

Thank you
Ramiah
 


Answer: Get What You Deserve, Not What is Desired


Our prayers are granted in accordance with what we deserve, not what we desire.

Why Soul First Gets a Material Body?

Question: Why Soul First Gets a Material Body?


Gurudeva,
Namaste

I would like to ask you the following question: The connection and disconnection of the individual consciousness of all living entities from the physical body is known as birth and death. Why does it get connected to a physical body in the first place?

Yours in yoga

Answer: He Desires to Enjoy the Lord's Energy


When the pure living entity in the spiritual world misuses his minute independence by desiring to lord it over the e

Liberated Soul Can Become Conditioned?

Question: Liberated Soul Can Become Conditioned?


it is said that we have an eternal relationship with Lord Krishna. This means we had this relationship from time immemorial. Now let us consider a particular time when we were conditioned. Does this not mean that we were previously liberated? So, how can someone be conditioned after liberation? If we were conditioned from the beginning, then how can we say, "back to Godhead"? If we can be conditioned even after liberation, what is the meaning of "s

Bhakti is the siddhi

Now suppose if you construct a temple for Krsna, the same spirit that as one, a karmi, is constructing a big skyscraper building, a bhakta is doing the same thing. He is also after the cement, after the iron, after the stone. Does it mean simply by handling this iron and stone and cement he becomes bhakta? No. He knows that cement is the property of Krsna; it should be used for Krsna. This is siddhi. He knows perfectly. The cement comes from Krsna, iron comes from Krsna. Bhumir apo 'nalo vayuh k

Thought Of The Day

One who has unflinching devotion for the Supreme Lord and is directed by the
spiritual master, can see the Supreme Personality of Godhead by revelation. For
one who does not take personal training under the guidance of a bona fide
spiritual master, it is impossible to even begin to understand Krsna.

Thought Of The Day

The whole business of spiritual life is to give up material desires, and if you are maintaining material desires in spite of chanting the Hare Krsna mantra, then spiritual progress will become very very difficult. This is comparable to someone who is trying to light fire and pour water on it at the same time. That is not possible.Freedom by surrender

A poem from Bhaktivinode Thakur's Sharanagati.

SURRENDER

My mind, my body, my hearth and shore,
I offer it to your lotus feet, o Nandakishore.

In goodtimes or badtimes in life or in death,
Of your two merciful feet, I am in debt.

Kill me or protect me its your wish alright,
As I am your eternal servant it is your supreme right.

If I do have to take birth again,
O lord, let it be in a devotee’s home, I Yen.

Life as a worm, surrendered at your lotus feet, I desire.
Rather than Lord Brahma’s birth inimical to you, my sire.

Free from the desire for enjo

SECTARIAN PREJUDICE

SECTARIAN PREJUDICE


Srila
Thakur BhaktivinodeSri Caitanya-siksamirta 3.3


To be controlled by prejudice causes manyproblems. From prejudice arises partiality;from partiality comes disrespect for truth.


Wearing the signs of the vaishnava is one ofthe methods of cultivating devotion, involving the body. But to think that that is the distinguishing characteristic of a vaishnava is aprejudice arising from sectarianism.
Controlled by such false beliefs, a person may not respect a real vaishnava who is no

Everything Belongs to KRISHNA!

GURUVAKYA

"The actual consciousness that one needs to achieve is nirmama and nishkinchana , to have nothing. Having nothing can be achieved by a grihastha if he accepts everything as Krishna's.

Bhaktivinod Thakura prayed,''Manasa deho geho, jo kichu mora, arpilo tua pade Nanda Kishore", "My mind, my body, my household, whatever normally one would consider their's, whatever it may be, I am simply offering at your Lotus Feet, Nanda Kishore. Everything is Yours."
