While a devotee is never proud of himself, choosing to always remain meek and humble, he is nevertheless very proud of so many things. He is proud of His wonderful Lord Sri Krishna, who is constantly showering unlimited mercy upon all living beings. He is the proud of his spiritual master, who is delivering him from the cycle of birth death. He is proud of the devotees who are sacrificing their lives to push forward the Krishna consciousness movement for the benefit of all living beings. He grea

Question: See God by Becoming His Friend? |
||||
Please accept my humble obeisances |
||||
Answer: No. By Becoming His Servant We See God. |
||||
No. Friend means on an equal level. If we want to see God we must subordinate ourselves to Him as His humble servants. It is only when Arjuna gave up the mood of being Krishna's friend and accepted Him as His spi |

"My Chest Swells Up With Pride"
On the way out, one of my disciples, Ragalekha dasi, approached me. She is a woman in her late 40s, and I remembered her as a faithful disciple who always made it a point to come to my programs when I visited Russia. So when she asked me to visit her apartment to s
[Karabhajana Risi to Maharaj Nimi]: "Accompanied by His personal devotees, Lord KRSNA, assuming a golden color, introduces the hari-nama-sankirtan, the chanting of the Hare Krsna mantra, in the age of Kali. By this process, He delivers love for Krsna to the general populace. Lord Krsna, the son of Nanda Maharaj, personally introduces the occupational duty of the age of Kali. He personally chants and dances in ecstatic love, and thus the entire world chants congregationally.

Question: Is Krishna the Lord of Jesus Christ? |
||||
If Krishna is the Supreme Personality of Godhead, does that mean that He is the lord of all, including, for example, Jesus Christ? |
||||
Answer: Jesus Worships Krishna as God, the Father |
||||
Regarding Krishna's being the Supreme Personality of Godhead, there is no question of "if." Krishna absolutely is the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Thus He is the origin and lord of everything and everyone including Jesus Christ, who worships Him as God, the Father whe |
One of the most insidious tempting habits is the habit of blaming others or external conditions for our failures, mistakes, problems, and lack of success. You might call it “the blame game.”
Blaming others is a very easy thing to do. It creeps into our lives in subtle, as well as not so subtle ways. It shows up in our thoughts and in our conversations. We might, for example, think to ourselves, “I’d be more successful if the products I were selling were of better quality,” or “I’d make more money

Do you know what Lord Jesus Christ said when he left this world. The last example he gave to these devotees, in to the world. They were all sitting for dinner; it is called the last supper. And Lord Jesus Christhe rolled up his robes, he put a around himself. He got a bowl with scented water and went to each of his devotees to wash their feet. And the first devotee Peter said, my Lord Jesus I cannot allow you to do t

"Because Krsna know everyone's future does not remove our free will. Someone may
commit a theft, and if I know that then I know that he will be captured and punished.
That is knowing his future, but know that future does not mean that he had no choice not
to commit the criminal act. There are two destinies for every one. One destiny is in.
Krsna Consciousness and the other destiny is in material consciousness, so if someone is
in Krsna Consciousness then Krsna knows his future and if he is in mate
Dear devotees, Hare Krsna!
I have the pleasure to announce the broadcast of a wonderful program: H.H. Radhanatha Maharaja meets with H.H. Sacinandana Swami.
This event will take place at the Dharma Castle on Thursday, 4th of August, at 19h00 (7pm German time) and will be broadcasted on the Mayapur.TV channel "H.H. Sacinandana Swami".
Çré Madhväcärya has brought our attention to this quotation from the Näräyaëa-saàhitä:
dväparéyair janair viñëuù
païcarätraiç tu kevalaiù
kalau tu näma-mätreëa
püjyate bhagavän hariù
"In the Dväpara-yuga one could satisfy Kåñëa or Viñëu only by worshiping opulently according to the päïcarätriké system, but in the age of Kali one can satisfy and worship the Supreme Personality of Godhead Hari simply by chanting His holy name.
