What is PRIDE?

Boasting of 'P'ossessions;

Living in 'R'eluctance;

Greed in 'I'ntentions;

Lost in 'D'esires;

Lust rules 'E'motions;

When life got wasted in 'PRIDE';

Then our hearts traumatized;

Sri Guru showed Sri Krishna inside;

Transcendental love the devotional guide.

Thought Of The Day

In the Hare Krsna movement, the chanting of the Hare Krsna maha-mantra, the dancing in ecstasy, and the eating of the remnants of food offered to the Lord are very, very important. One may be illiterate or incapable of understanding the philosophy, but if he partakes of these three items, he will certainly be liberated without delay.(Sri Caitanya-caritamrta, Madhya-lila 15.237, Purport).BY H.D.G. Srila Prabhupada

Dear Çréla Prabhupäda,

 WHILE OFFERING my obeisances unto you, I visualize your lotus feet, so soft and so tenderly pink. I wish I could become a speck of dust and cling onto them forever. They are the most wonderful shelter, and who needs it more than I? I am your youngest son, and most probably that is why you showered so much affection upon me. You allowed me to stay with you all the time, and whenever I went anywhere, you asked me, "Where did you go?" I used to give some quick excuses. B

Lord Krishna did talk about this topic in Bhagavad Gita. So we will also talk and discuss about it. In fact the symbol of sin, the lust, which is the biggest enemy, can be defeated not just by talking. Discussion is necessary for understanding. But we would succeed curbing the lust (and other five - anger, greed, illusion, pride and envy) by chanting of Hare Krishna, by honoring prasadam, and by association of devotees. These ultimately help us to curb that symbol of sin. Not just the knowledge

LEADERSHIP From Srimad Bhagawatam

1)  We envy the position of Lord Krishna as the Enjoyer. HE also says that HE is upadrishta (A Guard, Observer) always waiting for us, to turn to HIM.

2)  But everybody wants to be ENJOYER , but no one wants to be in a mood of serving.

4)  Concept of PARAMATMA : Non-discriminating & present in everyone’s heart ,all species. 

5)  Leadership is mea

If there is little pain in the finger, I become so much disturbed because I have got intimate connection with this finger. Similarly,we have got intimate connection with Krishna, and we are fallen. Therefore, Krishna also feels little pain, and therefore, He comes down. Krishna is feeling pain. So you become Krishna conscious.Then Krishna will feel pleasure.Prabhupada used to say that the heart is as black as coal. Normally coal,cannot become white, but the chanting of the holy name is so powerf

Let's See Whose Brain Is Washed!

Let's See Whose Brain Is Washed!


-Do you mean brain washed?

-Yes, exactly! They all seem like brain washed.

And they told it to me right to my face.

We were 3-4 classmates sitting together in our open elective course "Culinary Science". The talk went on about ISKCON, about worshiping Krishna. But it started with that they told me to clean onions. I told I won't touch, and requested to do other things. Then one Indian boy surprisingly asked, what was wrong with onion. I told that onion gives bad
