Jamal said that he felt something lightly touch his arm from behind and when he turned around he saw Srila Prabhupada standing there fully manifest as we would see each other.
Jamal told her that Srila Prabhupada looked deep into his eyes to his very soul and simply nodded at him gravely. What happened

Question: Can a Devotee Make a Difference? |
||||
I am someone who is interested in being of service to the world rather than to myself. This is something I have been involved in for years. From being a small child I was always interested in others before myself and when I look at what I really want it is for the world to be a better place. I love people, humanity and want to make a lasting difference. When people speak of attaining enlightenment I have always been clear I didn't come here for that in t |
Unfortunately, many people miss out on one of the surest shortcuts to success: to seek out, listen to, and take advice. So often, when a person struggles, he or she is very close to a major breakthrough. They are literally “an inch away” from achieving their goals and dreams. If they would just

vastly different he may be in the outer appearance of his life, different countries, different races,different cultures, different languages, different ways of living, eating, dressing, etc., he may be completely different in all of these aspects, but there is one thing that is the same to all human individuals.
And it is this factor that binds them into a global unity. If analyzed, it will be discovered that a
A devotee's only concern ………....Droplets from Nectarean Ocean
This human form of life is an opportunity for self-realization, to realize God. This human form of life is such a gift, it is so precious, it is so valuable that we can never understand. To even utilize one moment of it for any other purpose is sorrowful. Therefore the devotees of the Lord are not very concerned with heat or cold, happiness or distress, honour or dishonour. They are only concerned with one thing -
Hare Krishna Prabhujis and Matajis,

The proverb "Practice makes it perfect", holds true for all habits - be it good or bad. So it is very important that we have a constant check on ourselves, on whatever things we see, hear and do in our day to day lives. Bad habits in particular enter very stealthily into our life and before we even realise the impact, they sometimes just become a part of our life and we beco
There was a great rumor that the five Pandava brothers, along with their mother Kunti, had, under the plan of Dhrtarastra, died in a fire accident in the house of shellac in which they were living. But then the five brothers were detected at the marriage ceremony of Draupadi; so again another rumor spread that the Pandavas and their mother were not dead. It was a rumor, but actually it was so; they returned to their capital city, Hastinapura, and people saw them face to face. When this news was |

In this world, everyone of us like to be free. A child going to school thinks that he/she can become free once they get out of school. A student going to college, who is taxed by assignments and exams think that he will become free once he gets a job. A person after getting job thinks that he can become free, once he retires. Not just human beings, even birds or animals trap
"Go on with sankirtana activities as you have been doing and let them arrest us if they like. We will not stop. Better to forget this business of lawyers and judges and simply go on with sankirtana. That is Civil Disobedience Movement. Let them fill their jails with us again and again" - Srila Prabhupada, from a letter to Caru

Simply engage yourself in Krishnas service. That will protect you from any attack of maya. Maya can take Krishnas place in our heart as soon as there is a slackness on our part. Otherwise, if Krishnas seated always, maya has no opportunity to occupy the seat.

The Telugu version of ‘Srimad Bhagavatham', the great epic considered an elixir for redressal of worldly grievances, is now ava
Lord Jagannath resides in Puri on the shores of the turbulent Bay of Bengal. Once a year he comes out of the temple and devotees vie with one another, trying to pull the cord of his commanding chariot. The rest of the year, a restricted crowd gets a glimpse of him inside the distinctive temple, the only one in the world devoted to siblings: the reigning deity at all other places of worship are consorts or mother and child.
Many moons ago, a senior journalist from Hyderabad was in Bhuvaneswar.
