The aim is to satisfy Visnu. We should always remember this fact, that we are eternally servant, part and parcel of Krsna, or Visnu. As I have given many times the example, there are so many parts of the body, but what are they meant for? To satisfy the belly. You are walking, you are catching, you are thinking, you are doing so many things -- what is the aim? The aim is satisfy the stomach. You cook, you earn hard money, and then you purchase goods and cook nicely and put it into the stomach.

Krishna is always within us, and consequently He knows everything about our purposes, and He gives us the opportunity to work as we decide. If we decide to enjoy this material world, Krishna gives us the intelligence to become a very shrewd businessman or a popular politician or a cunning man so that we can earn money and enjoy ourselves. According to the standards of material life, many people are becoming great. They

It is very easy for anyone to claim, "I am a Krishna-bhakta" . But to become a real *Krishna-Bhakta* and remain so thereafter, requires total commitment andLOYALTY to Sri Krishna . Nobody can cheat Bhagavan . Krishna is seated in our heart as *Eye-witness* (Mana-sakshi) or Conscience or Super-soul ( Paramathma). He is just a witness and does not involve with the day-to-day activities .
But, in the case of a Krishna

People think, "I can enjoy this material world very nicely. Everyone is having such a good time. There is no reason I can't enjoy myself as much as they." This idea is illusion because there is no real enjoyment in the material world. We may be very good-looking, famous, well educated, wealthy and powerful, and we may have a very beautiful wife and children and hold the highest position in the country—but at any moment

Paramananda madhavam sri caitanya isvaram. The situation in Navadvip and the whole of India that time was that people were religious but they were not spiritual. They were religious just to show on the outside but actually they did not know the purpose of religion. People spent a lot to marry off their daughter, to put on a big show to show that they were very religious. One such wealthy had no more daughters to marry off then he married a female cat or a female dog or some demigod. So this was

Bhaktin Radhika Mehta In the past five years, one young woman from Chowpatty, Mumbai, has broken all women’s book distribution records, and many overall records too.
Bhaktin Radhika Mehta is an enigma. Since she began in 2007, she has distributed 228,016 of Srila Prabhupada’s books—nearly a quarter of a million. According to the World Sankirtan Newsletter, in five years, she has given out more books than any other female distributor since 1982.

How grateful would you say you are? Did you know that your gratitude level can directly affect your happiness? Now that may sound little strange.
Even financial experts agree that gratitude is a vital component for increasing wealth and success. This basic premise of gratitude is to acquire a more positive and receptive state of being. Here is how it actually works. You begin by being grateful for the small

A man went to a barbershop to have his hair cut and his beard trimmed. As the barber began to work, they began to have a good conversation. They talked about so many things and various subjects. When they eventually touched on the subject of God, the barber said, “I don’t believe that God exists.”
“Why do you say that,” asked the customer.
“Well, you just have to go out in the street to realize that God doesn’t exist. T

Correcting Others
Devotee means he is able to tolerate all kinds of discomfort and whims of the material nature, and because he is too much absorbed in serving Krsna he takes no time to become angry or take offense with others or find out some fault. No. Devotee means very liberal and kind to everyone, always gentleman under all kinds of conditions of life.
SP letter to Hamsaduta (December 10, 1972)

So five thousand years ago Krsna came to kill some of the demons. Not all of them were demons. But next time, when Krsna will come, it will be only demons. Only demons. Kalki avatara. What is that stotra? Kesava dhrta-kalki-sarira jaya jagadisa hare. So at that time Krsna will not preach Bhagavad-gita. Kalki avatara will simply come to cut the throat only.

Hare Krishna Prabhujis and Matajis,
Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada and Srila Gurudev.
Recently I was going through the diary which contained my conversations with our beloved Gurudev, HDG Mahavishnu Gosvami Maharaj. I seek the permission of the devotees to allow me to share the co
Death was walking toward a city one morning and a man asked, “What are you going to do?”
“I’m going to take 100 people.” Death replied.
“That’s horrible” the man said.
“That’s the way it is.” Death said. “That’s what I do.”
The man hurried to warn everyone he could about Death’s plan.
As evening fell, he met Death again. “You told me you were going to take 100 people,” the man said, “Why did 1,000 die?”
“I kept my word” Death responded. “I only took 100 people. Worry took the other….”
Worry is, and alw
