HARE KRISHNA !

How To Resist Temptations?

One of the disciples approached his Guru with a heavy heart. When enquired of his troubled face he said, “Guruji, I am fed up with temptations. At each moment and every place I am tempted. I fear that I will have to leave this life of solitude and prayer due to the irresistible temptations that suppress the joy of my life.”

The Guru consoled him saying, “Don’t worry my child. There is a solution for your problem. Let’s talk about this after two weeks. T

Several births yet soul didn't see him,Several miles yet soul didn't find him,Several sermons yet soul didn't hear him,Several places yet soul didn't knew him,Several breathes yet soul didn't feel him,Several people but only Sri Guru showed Sri Krishna lives within.

Posted by shanti yadav on October 28, 2011 at 8:30am

Recently on the occasion of release function for Telugu (South Indian language) version of Srimad Bhagavatam, I wrote a special article in Bhagavad Darshan (Telugu BTG) describing the events leading to the completion of Srila Prabhupada’s Bhagavatam. How faithfully the humble disciples of Srila Prabhupada took up the unfinished task of their Spiritual master on their shoulders and thereby became the special recipients of Sri Guru’s mercy was narrated in that article. Srimad Bhagavatam is the h

Hare Krishna.

I attended the recent samadhi ceremony and memorial service for Gopiparanadhana Prabhu at Govardhan. It was an emotional ceremony, full of memories of a most dedicated servant of Srila Prabhupada. I also had the fortune to visit the apartment next to the Govardhan Palace where he left this world. Unmentioned in any reports I read of his passing, Gopi Prabhu was actually living somewhat separately from his family as a vanaprastha and was thus alone when he left.

Years ago I had the

Meena’s tearful parents and I watched helplessly through the glass pane separating us from the room where the doctors were desperately fighting to save little Meena’s life. It was an accident…it is always an accident…My neighbours’ child Meena was trying to light a ‘fountain’ firecracker and in the dark, she had not noticed the string of live ‘atom-bomb’ firecrackers that someone else had lit nearby. The little girl had been caught in the multiple explosions that had taken place around her. We

Happy Diwali
A Talk by Giriraj Swami, October 25, 2003, Houston

We wish you all a happy Diwali. Diwali, or Dipavali, marks the end of the

year, and by the year's end we want to pay our debts, rectify our

relationships--and then try to do better the next year.

The Vedic literatures inform us that in the present age, Kali-yuga, the

recommended process for self-realization, or God realization, is the

chanting of the holy names of the Lord. Of course, we know that Lord Krsna

The samskaras of the school of sanatana-dharma (man’s eternal engagement)are highly suitable for creating an atmosphere for taking advantage of goodstellar influences, and therefore garbhadhana-samskara, or the firstseedling purificatory process prescribed for the higher castes, is thebeginning of all pious acts to receive a good pious and intelligent class ofmen in human society.
