Is Krishna the Lord of Jesus Christ?

Posted by Saci Gaurasundara Dasa on August 1, 2011 at 9:12am

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? R.P.

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

Stay away from the blame game

Posted by Saci Gaurasundara Dasa on August 1, 2011 at 9:10am

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

Why Isn't Just One Japa Round Sufficient?

Posted by Saci Gaurasundara Dasa on August 1, 2011 at 9:08am

Question: Why Isn't Just One Japa Round Sufficient?

Please accept my humble obeisances. Since the Hare Krishna mantra is so powerful, why isn't one round of japa chanting equal to sixteen rounds? Why are we told to chant more and more, if it is so powerful? Why isn't merely one round sufficient, if it is so powerful? I understand that because we are not pure repeated chanting is required to purify us. But still I have a doubt: Why just one round is not sufficient, if all powers are there in Krish

Delight in the success of others

Delight in the success of othersLet’s be honest here. Have you ever found yourself secretly wishing someone else would fail? I don’t mean you wish them any serious bad luck, only that they don’t become more successful than you? Sometimes it’s hard to wish others well, particularly those you know well – friends, colleagues, neighbors, family members. It’s hard to see a colleague get the promotion you worked so hard for. It’s difficult to see your friend on television, or your neighbor able to pur

Orders to stop chanting Hare Krsna on the streets were not without historical precedent. In the Caitanya-caritamrta it is described that almost five hundred years previously, city officials in the town of Navadvipa, West Bengal, were approached to expel Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu Himself and His entire sankirtana party from the town. The local people requested the Kazi (magistrate), "Sir, you are the ruler of this town. Whether Hindu or Moslem, everyone is under your protection. Therefore

Because Krsna know everyone's future does not remove our free will

‎"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 the Kali-yuga, one can satisfy and worship the Lord simply by chanting His holy name

Posted by Saci Gaurasundara Dasa on July 29, 2011 at 9:12am

Srila Prabhupada has stated that we can only improve ourselves - and that is a

gradual process. Certainly life in this world is difficult for everyone and the main

difficulty is becoming Krsna conscious. That is a very personal thing. Your Krsna

consciousness is your own responsibility. You should not blame your difficulties on

your husband/wife. Sure, things could be better if he/she was a better devotee, but you

cannot change him/her. The only person you can really change is yourself, and you

Your Japa Creates Your Day

Posted by Saci Gaurasundara Dasa on July 29, 2011 at 9:10am

Our daily chanting of the Hare Krishna mahamantra on japa beads is the most significant event of our day. It is our daily opportunity to have a personal, private meeting with God. Therefore the mood in which we chant is of the utmost importance. If our minds are wandering somewhere else during our japa, it will be difficult to remember Krishna throughout the day, and our day will be a struggle. But if we fix our minds nicely on on the mahamantra during our japa meditation, it will be easy to rem

The Hare Krishnas have until 10am on August 4 to give an undertaking that its members will stop chanting in Sydney streets. Unless the undertaking is given, we will seek a Supreme Court injunction to restrain them.

The devotees, of course, ignored the ultimatum.The whole continuing debacle had attracted the attention of the Council for Civil Liberties, an e
