Hare Krishna Radha-Krishna. Radha’s name is first. Why ? Nobody can be better devotee than Radharani. As soon as Radha’s name is there, Krishna is more pleased. That is the way. If we glorify the devotees, the character of the devotees, before the Lord, He is more pleased than to glorify Himself, He directly.(Converstions, Hawaii, 24th Apr, 1969). -By H.D.G. Srila Prabhupada

*Janmashtami in Ujjain*
Drums playing in perfect rhythm, walkway filled with flowers, exquisite

Dear Maharaj and Prabhus,

Sri Radha Krishna Mandir in Chippiwada (New Delhi), where Srila Prabhupada stayed for a long time and began writing and publishing his books, especially Srimad Bhagavatam before leaving for the west. The Radha Krishna deities there are perhaps one of the few which Srila Prabhupad himself worshiped for a long time. This temple has been donated to ISKCON.
Srila Prabhupada during his presence tried to buy t
The human society is presently 5,000 years into the Kali Yuga, the Age of Quarrel and Hypocrisy. At the present time it is completely engulfed by cheating and lying. The worst cheaters are those who pose themselves to be honest well-wishing friends and then take advantage of the trust placed in them for exploiting those they pretend to befriend.
Because of this wide-scale cheating epidemic it has become very common for people to adopt the philosophy of skepticism and not trust anyone. Being tir

Remember Krishna
Krishna the Butter Thief
narrated by Mother Yasoda
There he is, my beautiful baby Krishna. Doesn't he look sweet? Sometimes I wonder how such an innocent-looking child could get into so much mischief.
Of course, to some he is not simply a child, but a poweful god, the eighth avatar of Vishnu, in fact. To me though he will always be my little boy.
However, I am not actually Krishna's birth mother. That honor belongs to Queen Devaki, wife of Vasudeva. Krishna was born while the couple

The desire to gratify one’s own senses is kama [lust], but the desire to please the senses of Lord Krishna is prema [love].

Here is a rough transcript of a talk about love given by a first class devotee, which I recently listened to.
Love is something not found in the material world. A rumor, a lie or a joke. What they call love in the material world is not love. It's des
