Namaste or namaskar is the Indian way of greeting each other. Namaste and its common variants namaskar,  namaskaara or namaskaram, is one of the five forms of formal traditional greeting mentioned in the Vedas.
Offering Pranam soothes and rejuvenates the body and mind. The feeling and intensity of repect and humility lingers and grows when practiced as daily ritual.

A Hindu expresses reverence to God by joining the palms and bowing the head. This ritual is called Pranam. It is also a gesture of g

Hare Krishna, Please clear my doubt that We have to fast from MILK for one month (THIRD MONTH OF CHATURMASYA)

And Also from milk and products.

Question to Radhanath Swami: I am growing in everything I have taken up in life, but my spiritual practice seems to be stagnant. How can I advance?

Radhanath Swami Answers: To advance spiritually you have to discipline yourself. Like a doctor in order to get his degree goes through, years and years of discipline. So if you want to be successful in any field of activity, you must be disciplined and the same applies to spirituality.

Today people discipline themselves in every other avenue of life bu

Why is She so much in love with Me ? - from Caitanya Caritamrita - Adi Lila

The above quote is by Lord Krishna Himself...that is part of the following, from Srila Prabhupada's Caitanya Caritamrita, Adi Lila: 

Radha and Krsna are one, and when Krsna desires to enjoy pleasure, He manifests Himself as Radharani. The spiritual exchange of love between Radha and Krsna is  the actual display of the internal pleasure potency of Krsna. Although we speak of "when" Krsna desires, just when He did desire we

One should aspire to chant the Hare Krsna mantra constantly:
In our Krsna consciousness movement we are teaching our followers to
chant the Hare Krsna mantra continuously on beads. Even those who are
not accustomed to this practice are advised to chant at least sixteen
rounds on their beads so that they may be trained. Otherwise, Sri
Caitanya Mahaprabhu recommended:
trnad api sunicena
taror iva sahisnuna
amanina manadena
kirtaniyah sada harih
 [Cc. Adi 17.31]
"One should chant the holy name of the Lord in

A devotee always has a taste for chanting Hare Krsna:

There is a verse in which Srila Rupa Gosvami says, avyartha-kalatvam:
[Cc. Madhya 23.18-19] a devotee should be very much careful to see
whether his time is being spent unnecessarily. He should ask himself,
"Am I now engaged in maya's service or Krsna's service?" This is a
symptom of an advanced devotee. Nama-gane sada rucih: such a devotee
is never tired of chanting, singing, or dancing. The word sada means
"always," and ruci means "taste." A devot

In one sense, everything there is, animate, inanimate, is a manifestation of Krishna - "mattah parataram naanyat kinchid asti dhananjaya" BG7.7, and yet there is a difference between Krishna and His emanations of various qualities "aham sarvasya prabhavo, mattah sarvam pravartate" BG 10.8.

This sounds like an apparent contradiction, however this is where the inconceivable mercy of Lord Krishna Chaitanya comes to save us. He showed us how the Lord is inconceivable, and how He is simultaneously one

There is nothing sweeter than chanting the holy names of God in a mood of loving devotion because such chanting brings one into direct contact with the Supreme Person Himself. Such chanting is best done in the early morning hours before sunrise when the material world is not offering many distractions to lure the mind away from Krishna's holy names.

From the great acharyas we have learned the system of chanting on japa beads. This system of chanting onbeads amplifies the power of the mantra and t
